31. Truth hurts don't it!!
Robert Goldman ,   cooper city Florida   (05.20.05)
to all who scream fake, to all that say they have proof it is not a mortar team running the relay for fast fire . to all the others that still scream "Remember Jenin" . stop your whining. it is here in black and white just as it happened , they got caught, they got wacked, plain and simple. so do not even try to put the inocent spin on it, do not try to say that it was something else when the world has seen it for what it is,
32. You know what else was caught on tape?
Alex ,   Boston   (05.20.05)
The murder of James Millar, a BBC Journalist in Gaza, was caught on tape. An IDF APC shot him in the neck, then shot at his friends (who were also carrying white flags), and then left him for dead without any medical assistance offered. I guess it doesn't matter what your intentions, if you want to report the horror stories from the Pal territory, the IDF considers you a terrorist AS DO the neo cons who publish this site.

Military is mandatory for JEWS only. Justice, Justice You Must Pursue" Why I Burned My Israeli Military Papers By JOSH RUEBNER On Thursday I set fire to my Israeli military deferral papers across the street from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC. This act of civil disobedience took place during a protest organized by a Jewish American peace organization against the atrocities that Israel is committing in the occupied Gaza Strip. In the first half of May, Israel made homeless close to 2,200 Palestinians through the purposeful destruction of their homes. Since Tuesday in Rafah, Israel has killed at least 40 Palestinians, some of whom were children engaged in nonviolent protest when they were killed. Amnesty International has described these acts of wanton death and destruction as "war crimes." Although I am a Jewish American, born and raised in the United States, I am also a citizen of Israel by virtue of my father's birth in that country. Israel's laws automatically confer citizenship on the children of citizens regardless of their place of birth. Like all other Jewish citizens of Israel, I am required to serve in the Israeli army. I decided to burn my military deferral papers, the closest equivalent I have to a draft card, to protest the policies of the government of Israel and to declare my intention never to serve in an army of occupation and oppression. By doing so, I stand in solidarity with more than 1,300 Israelis who have stated openly, at the risk of jail time, that they refuse to serve Israel's occupation of Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem and commit war crimes and flagrant breaches of international law.
34. Oh, Alex, I saw that tape on television.
Boaz ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.21.05)
Even from a close distance they where difficult to identify. And one more point Alex, the area where it happened, southern Gaza strip, has more then half of all fire incidents in both the west bank and the Gaza strip, just a little perspective for you.

Alex http://web.israelinsider.com/bin/en.jsp?enPage=ArticlePage&enDisplay=view&enDispWhat=object&enDispWho=Article%5El2254&enZone=Security&enVersion=0& Mike Considering that you don't give a link, I'm unimpressed. Secondly the vast majority of refuseniks are usually communists in nature or self declared pacificists who regardless of which country wouldn't serve in any army. Secondly the statement that he was given automatic citizenship without requesting it is a flat out lie. You must first declare your intent to do aliya or ask for it. The Israeli government does not forcefully put citizenship on Jews living in the country or visiting. Finally how does this prove that Jews are only required to serve? All you did was post something from a refusenik. Their is a quite large group of arabs serving in the army. The beduins and the druze.

37. to 33
Robert Goldman ,   cooper city Florida   (05.22.05)
ROFLOL you actually beleive this crap? it's a mixed service and oh yes get this. the Druze are drafted ... mandatory,,,,, they serve in the army and boarder patrol, MANDATORY!! so it's not Jews only, as for the others the Vollenteer by the hundreds each and every year,,,,,
38. Dirty BBC reporters
Michael Grussman ,   Milan Italy   (05.22.05)
sometimes dies while supporting terrorism. Once, in just 45 minutes, the dirty BBC answerd to my question, stressing that there are two kinds of rebellion: in Ireland they are terrorists, in Israel they are militants. Their one sided reports support terrorism.
39. abbas
paula ,   Boynton Beach, FLA   (05.23.05)
Comeon...we know that he can't control Hamas or any other terror group lest he gets killed himself. SO what is this charade going on that he can indeed do something to stop their violence. Is it just a ploy or does the USA seriously believe that Israel 'believes' he can do something useful?
40. Josh Ruebner
Lyn ,   Hanford, USA   (05.30.05)
I wonder if you have even put your foot on Israeli ground? You sure don't know what you are talking about. All the areas you are talking about, plus very much more land was given to the Jewish people by the very One who created them and called them His Chosen People. Just in case you don't know who I am refering to....it is G-d.
41. David, Kamiel, Israel
Lyn ,   Hanford, USA   (05.30.05)
You are so right, David. But please be encouraged in that there are very many of us Gentiles that have a heart for the Jewish people and stand amazed in what they have been able to accomplish despite all the opposition to them even being alive. Once more proof that they are indeed G-d's Chosen People whom He said He will never forsake. He is Sovereign and is still in control, despite what our senses tell us.
42. The Innocent always suffer
It is what it is ,   USA   (08.04.06)
Ladies and Gentlemen: War is what it is. Innocent WILL and unfortunately die. All I know is if we The United States of America was to be attacked in our own back yard again, we all would take up arms to defend our family, freedom, and our Nation Under God. Terrorists ALWAYS hide behind the innocent and then cry foul when they are hit and "civilians" are killed. "Imbeds" are so lopsided in their reporting. What does the free world want Israel to do, sit and take whatever the Palestinian's and their f'd-up factions do?! Think again people, enough is enough, wipe out ALL Cowardly Terrorists that cower behind innocent civilians to do the acts of terrorism. God Bless.
