Judging by other posts, it seems to me all of the other posts are Zionist who hate any thing not Zionist even Jews, so please speak for yourself and don't generalize because many of us don't agree with what Israel is doing and it's occupation and treatment of the Palestinian people and we also agree that Israel and Zionism is a threat to world peace, so it is not most of us beside it looks like your first loyalty is to the Zionist state of Israel and not America

during all the proccess of disengagement i asked myself...since before it happened, during it happened and after... u wanna give gaza to palestinians? ok! im against it...but why not disarming the terrorist groups first?! was the israeli government THAT stupid to believe they would keep the peace agreements after the disengagement? i wont say "well done" cos i know what it is like to have a qassam falling over us, i lived in sderot alll this first semester... but i wish i could say "well done mr sharon, now you got your answer...and good luck now on doing something that should be done years ago even before the withdrawn being planed"

I'm not Jewish like most of the people in America who support Israel!

I could tell by your horrible spelling and grammar that you are a foreigner. You know nothing abvout Americans even if you live here.

Only Arab and Muslims believe otherwise. http://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/palestine.htm

Because as most non-jewish americans, I support Israel. The non-supporters are the minority, Peter Pan. now buzz off

I don't know why everyone is getting so excited. Whoever has been arrested will be released and this retaliation will only last as long as Sharon's position as PM is in question. We were not born yesterday.

Shalom Israel! Destroy the terrorists or be destroyed! It us either you or them. Israel is America's line of defense.

since when is it legal to kidnap and hold hostage hundreds of people who have nothing to do with rockets? the rockets came from gaza, not the west bank. your illegal, war criminal government will pay for these crimes some day soon. and to all you radical, pro-war american morons, peter is right. the vast majority of non-jewish americans do not support the terrorist and illegal policies of israel. we support the right for a non-apartheid, non-racist, non-war crime, state of israel to exist. but only those extremist, pro-war, pro-violence, pro-death people support the criminal regime that ruins the lives and dreams of millions of people. israel, as shown through world public opinion polls, is the most dangerous threat to world peace.

your spelling is the one that sucks. abvout? go read peter's brilliant post again, you'll see his spelling and grammar are fine. quit your love for terror regimes like sharon and bush and support peace. your love for terror is certainly disgusting.

Unfortunately politicians main aim is to remain in power at any price even if this can be bloodshed. We are now used to this before any election or political crisis in Israel. I blame the extremists in Israel like most of the comments on this article who encourage politicians to continue with terror and bloodshed and HAMAS militants who give the excuse and open the way by bombing Sedrot. The stupid Hamas always falls in the trap. Israel assasinates one of their militants (Strangely they are all considered leaders of a military wing), Hamas or Jihad responding by firing Qassam at the fields and occasionally buildings in Sedrot, then the IDF responds according to the political situation prevailing in Israel. The result is more destruction and killing of innocent people whether palestinians or israelis as each side will react in different ways. One using F16 and the other exploiting depressed and desparate young people who watch their relatives suffering and decide to accept becoming suicide bombers.

You are wrong. wrong every step of the way. It is either you are not Daisy or you are .... But one thing for sure. you got all wrong. Show your true color.

those are so happy for such IDF action will soon cry and scream when the those militiants will re act back inside Israel be boming a bus or any thing else , Sharon is cheating you by this action he want only to prove that he still for Israel because he is afraid from Netinyaho and this will be on the died bodies of the Palistinians and the Israelis which will be hurted in the reaction of the Palistinians melitiants , so don't be so happy there will black days coming for both sides .

Israel is still showing too much weakness and timidity. To only arrest the political arm of Hamas is stupid indeed. The enemy know well that in a few weeks, a weak Israel will be pressured by the porkers in Washington to release these terrorist leaders for the false peace of mr Bush. Israel has yet to send a really harsh message ,and it seems they have lost the capability to win ,choosing rather to retreat and surrender .TRUTH SEEKS IS AN ISLAMIC OPERATIVE

GO GET AN EDUCATION YOU ARE A TYPICAL IGNORANT RED NECK THAT NEEDS TO SHUT UP. TELL ME BESIDES ENGLISH WHICH OTHER LANGUAGES DO YOU KNOW, I BET YOU NONE- EVEN YOUR ENGLISH IS SO TERRIBLE THAT IT SEEMS YOU LEARNED IT ON STREETS CORNERS AND IN MOTELS.

TAKE BACK JEWISH GAZA! All those who support giving away Jewish land to the Islamofascists for an Islamic state in Israel are actually supporting jihad against Israel and global jihad. The following is an excerpt from sermon by Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris, May 13 2005 on Palestinian Authority TV (transcribed by Memri TV monitor): "We have ruled the world before, and by Allah, the day will come when we will rule the entire world again. The day will come when we will rule America. The day will come when we will rule Britain and the entire world - except for the Jews. The Jews will not enjoy a life of tranquility under our rule...The day will come when everything will be relieved of the Jews. The stones and trees will want the Muslims to finish off every Jew." worldnetdaily.com July 11 2005 ‘Al-Qaida nukes already in U.S.’ ‘Terrorists, bombs smuggled across Mexico border by MS-13 gangsters’ “According to captured al-Qaida leaders and documents, the plan is called the “American Hiroshima” and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S over the Mexican border. Al-Qaida has obtained at least 40 nuclear weapons from the former Soviet Union - including suitcase nukes, nuclear mines, artillery shells and even some missile warheads. The plans for the devastating nuclear attack on the U.S. have been under development for more than a decade. It is designed as a final deadly blow of defeat to the U.S…thousands of al-Qaida sleeper agents have now been forward deployed into the U.S. to carry out their individual roles in the coming “American Hiroshima” plan. The future plan, suggests the attacks will take place simultaneously in major cities throughout the country - including New York, Boston, Washington, Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles…” G8 leaders have promised nine billion dollars to the Palestinian Authority over the next three years. TAX DOLLARS THAT SHOULD GO FOR THE IMMEDIATE BUILDING OF BOMB SHELTERS! Israelinsider.com July 8 2005 ‘From London to Gaza’ by David Bedein: “In recent weeks, American, British and Israeli intelligence sources have revealed that al-Qaida units now operate in the southern section of Gaza, and are positioned to take over the area that Israeli Defense Forces would vacate, if the proposed retreat plan is indeed carried out by the Israel government…” Gaza is to be transformed into Hamastan - the largest terror base in the Middle East with its own airport and seaport - and al-Qaida - a major threat to the entire world. worldnetdaily.com, July 18 2005 ‘Al-Qaida’s U.S. nuclear targets’ “The series of attacks is designed to kill 4 million, destroy the economy and fundamentally alter the course of history. New York and Washington top the preferred target list for al-Qaida leadership. The captured terrorists and documents also suggest smaller attacks may take place on American soil before the nuclear incidents. They may include some involving automatic weapons at schools and shopping malls. Another requirement dictated from the top at al-Qaida is that the attacks take place in daylight, so that the whole word will be able to see the images of a mushroom cloud over an American city…”

You are the only one using common sense in this column. Most of the others are shortsighted and use their emotions rather than their minds. You are 100% right. I fully agree with your analysis.

To Reggie, I regret that an African American, who endured so much from racism and slavery, with Katrina being its last manifestation, will sympathize with a racist, and apparthide state, like Israel, where even black jews are considered third class citizens! May be he wants to please his zionist or evangilical boss. Linda and all the people like her are no more than hate provoking people , with empty rhetoric, and live in their own world of hate.

Sharon doesnt really care about his people. He only cares about his political seat. So he knows that the only way his gonna win is thru showing that he can attack also. Don't believe him for second.

The truth is our government is highjacked and the zionists get our tax dollars and welfare- Israel is a racist, awful war criminal country and I doubt it will last much longer.

Americans are NOT anti-Israel. Only a bunch of far-left loons are anti-Israel. And the media loves lefty loons. Most Americans are PRO-Israel. We know terrorists when we see them. And Hamas, and the PLO are all terrorists. Yassir Arafat was the original terrorist who started the whole insane movement! Someone should have shot him in his empty evil head decades ago. And no, I am not Jewish...I am Catholic.

Reggie endured slavery and racism? Reggie is probably a smart middle class young man who is doing better than YOU are. Give me a break with that tired mantra slavery already. Grow up. Israel has been in a defensive posture for decades because it is a tiny little country surrounded by vast amounts of people who want them to be dead. It's time they go on the OFFENSE. Don't you GET IT? Of course not, you were trained in the American University madrasas that teach the new hate and bigotry.

I learned english in American unversities and I am doing my masters now. Besides english, I speak fluent Hebrow. does this answer your questions. NOW SHOW YOUR TRUE COLOR. by the way what is wrong with red necks.

Is it Edward or Ahmed? Israel is the threat to world peace? Where was this poll taken? At the Saudi Convention Center? In Tehran? Oh, I know...the UN, right? That bastion of virtue. Please. Give me a break. I don't see Jews making terrorist attacks around the world spreading hate and violence. I don't see Jews holding hostages and cutting their heads off with a serrated knife, or sneaking into schools and massacring innocent little children. Or bombing subways, or suicide attacks. I don't see Jews repressing women, or stoning them to death. I only see Muslims doing that. So don't give me that crap about Israel being a threat to world peace. For Godsakes, Ahmed...look in the damn mirror!

israel holds over 8000 hostages without evidence or trial. israel conducts "justice" through extra-judicial murder. israel disregards civilian life by bombing refugee camps. israel represses everyone that is not jewish. the state is openly racist, and proud of it. their people commit suicide attacks (just before gaza retreat, kahane, etc). they murder indiscriminately. and yes, most people in the world view israel as the greatest threat to world peace. just look at the polls conducted by pro-zionist, pro-racist, pro-murder worldnetdaily: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35383 http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=1207 wake up and face reality joyce. there is no room in the world for a racist, muderous, apartheid state. israel has every right to exist as a non-racist democracy, but currently their human rights record is no better than any of the countries you mention. a democracy? a farce.

read for yourself. or let me guess, the terrorists were hiding in the schools? the children were would be terrorists? hide behind your bulls*it, but the truth is that israel is run by war criminals. just look at what is happening in the british courts. http://right2edu.birzeit.edu/news/catindex32 http://web.amnesty.org/report2003/Isr-summary-eng i know joyce, it is tough to dispute the facts without pointing the fingers at others. thats the typical israeli response, hide your own atrocities and fabricate stories of your enemies. people like you sicken me.

PLO terrorists conducted bloody, barbaric jihad against Lebanon's Christians, mass maiming and murdering huge numbers. www.free-lebanon.com Click on photo gallery - 20,000 Christians handicapped by PLO atrocities. The reward for PLO savagery was to implant these PLO terrrorists into Israel as "peace" partners through Oslo to continue their jihad. Christians in PA areas suffer horrendous persecution, under the cruel occupation of PA/PLO and other terrorist organizations. The following are parts of an article: Christianity Dying In Its Birthplace By Daniel Pipes FrontPageMagazine.com | September 13, 2005 http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=19453 "What some observers are calling a pogrom took place near Ramallah, West Bank, on the night of Sep. 3-4. That’s when fifteen Muslim youths from one village, Dair Jarir, rampaged against Taybeh, a neighboring all-Christian village of 1,500 people. The Ajajs and their friends broke into houses and stole furniture, jewelry, and electrical appliances. They threw Molotov cocktails at some buildings and poured kerosene on others, then torched them. The damage included at least 16 houses, some stores, a farm, and a gas station. The assailants vandalized cars, looted extensively, and destroyed a statue of the Virgin Mary. “It was like a war,” one Taybeh resident told The Jerusalem Post. Hours passed before the Palestinian Authority security and fire services arrived. The fifteen assailants spent only a few hours in police detention, then were released. As for Khouriyye, the Palestinian police arrested him, kept him jail, and (his family says) have repeatedly beat him. A cousin, Suleiman Khouriyye, pointed to his burned house. “They did this because we’re Christians. They did this because we are the weaker ones.” The Khouriyyes and others recall the assailants shouting Allahu Akbar and anti-Christian slogans: “Burn the infidels, burn the Crusaders.” This assault fits a larger pattern. According to the Catholic Custodian of the Holy Land, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Christians in the Bethlehem region alone have suffered 93 cases of injustice in 2000-04. In the worst of these, in 2002, Muslims murdered the two Amre sisters, 17 and 19 years old, whom they called prostitutes. A post-mortem, however, showed the teenagers to have been virgins – and to have been tortured on their genitals. “Almost every day – I repeat, almost every day – our communities are harassed by the Islamic extremists in these regions,” Pizzaballa says. “And if it’s not the members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad, there are clashes with … the Palestinian Authority.” In addition to the Islamists, a “Muslim land mafia” is said to operate. With PA complicity. it threatens Christian land and house owners, often succeeding to compel them to abandon their properties. The campaign of persecution has succeeded...Bethlehem and Nazareth, historic Christian towns for nearly two millennia, are now primarily Muslim. In 1922, Christians outnumbered Muslims in Jerusalem; today, Christians amount to a mere 2 percent of that city’s population." "Islamic mafia accused of persecuting Holy Land Christians" http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/09/09/wmid09.xml Every single agreement has been broken by the PA/PLO, rendering Oslo, Road Map and ALL agreements NULL AND VOID. The U.S. EU, UN, Israel: the Christians of the world appeal to you. Stop the injustice. Stop the cruelty. Stop the massive criminal human rights violations. Liberate the Christians from ALL terrorist organizations immediately.

Giving Gaza to PA was a bad idea. Now we again get to see that their "idea" of peace is still a joke....take a bulldozer and drive thim into the sea, or you will surrer for many more years.

you make me sick by repeating the same thigs all the time , you are a sick poor one , Daisy , each time you write here you prove more how ignorant you are .... you are for joking

who asked those Jewish to come to this land and to occupy another people , they put them selfs in such posetion and that's why they are serounded by haters , they could come and live on this land in peace without ocuping anybody and without throwing anybody out of his home like all the Jewish lived before 1948 in the arab countries without problem , but the zionists wanted this to be happen , so they chosen this way , they will live forever in danger or they will have to give alot back , the Palistinians are much more stronger and belivers than the Jewish at least they didn't escape and left their land like the Jews allways did , we didn't hear that the Jews was fighting for their rights not to leave their land , since the time of Moses till now they were cowerds , allways depending on the others to help them , the Palistinian children are more stronger than all of them , they are fighting with stones in their hands but they didn't leave their land and escaped like the Jews allways did , and if you didn't see a jewish making terrorist so your information is too less , the Killing of mr. Rabin (God bless him) , the El Aqusa massakre , the arabs bus shooter , Sabra and shatila , Kana , Bahr el bakar , Mohamed El Doura ... this is not terror ? ... come on guy
