Show some sympathy for the people of Sderot and your own nation. The other side shows not an ounce of sympathy for us. Come to your senses already sir.

They were under no so-called 'occupation'. Quit excusing militant violence. Terror is Terror, no matter how you try to cover it up with your boring sob stories.

For people who are more mature, more developed morally, spiritually, it IS possible to have compassion for "the other" - the one who is the "enemy." WE are all human beings. Shakespeare's Shylock in the Merchant of Venice said it well, all you need to do is substitute "Arab" for "Jew" and "Jew" for" Christian": Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. Revenge -- retaliation --- seems it still holds true. Hamas is trying to outdo IDF and Israel ... Guess most people have a long way to go when it comes to moral and spiritual development. Scary to think of so many immature men (mostly men, right?) playing with all that deadly machinery!

Israel and USA are the BIGGEST terrorists in the world. They have the weapons and the means. The rest are just resisting American imperial control and hegemony.

label it terrorism and move on. The word "terrorism" is used to shut down all mental activity.

This is your comment #37;" Israel and USA are the BIGGEST terrorists in the world. They have the weapons and the means." You are exactly right the USA could wipe any country it wants off the map, never has any country had so much power and not used it. The restraint the USA has shown is remarkable. Israel could kill all Pals or Lebanese if they wanted to. They are attacked every day yet Israel has restrained itself like nobody else in their region of the world. Apartheid, the word terrorism is used NOT to shut down " all mental activity " but to describe the sick behavior of the people you defend. Here is some examples http://nakedterror.net/galleries/thumbnails.php?album=7&page=1 this is the brutal attack on two reserve soldiers who wandered into the wrong area. Here is another view of your friends Apartheid!!! http://www.faithfreedom.org/Gallery/7.htm\ Look at the orgasmic delight in the faces of the peace loving Muslims as they rip out a human being guts. submitted for your approval Mark from Georgia

It's all about Iraq, and 'Palestine' isn't it? Yep, it's all about Iraq and... India and the Sudan and Algeria and Afghanistan and New York and Pakistan and Israel and Russia and Chechnya and the Philippines and Indonesia and Nigeria and England and Thailand and Spain and Egypt and Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia and Ingushetia and Dagestan and Turkey and Kabardino-Balkaria and Morocco and Yemen and Lebanon and France and Uzbekistan and Gaza and Tunisia and Kosovo and Bosnia and Mauritania and Kenya and Eritrea and Syria and Somalia and California and Argentina and Kuwait and Virginia and Ethiopia and Iran and Jordan and United Arab Emirates and Louisiana and Texas and Tanzania and Germany and Australia and Pennsylvania and Belgium and Denmark and East Timor and Qatar and Maryland and Tajikistan and the Netherlands and Scotland and Chad and Canada and China and... ...and pretty much wherever Muslims believe their religion tells them to: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah, ... nor follow the religion of truth... until they pay the tax in acknowledg-ment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection." Qur'an, Sura 9:29

sir, and i always felt that it is ISLAM THAT SHUTS DOWN ALL THINKING, SELF CHOICE AND MENTALITY....ALSO INTELLIGENCE, QUESTIONING, DEBATE, ETC... by the way, it was not america or israel who brought about 9/11 sir. it was because when alqaeda and bin ladin approached saudi arabia to tell them that they will defend quwait, the saudi king and royal fAMILY SNUBBED bin laden and invited the americans onto arab soin to defend quwait and eventually the royal family from saddam's conquest ambitions. bin laden was furious, sir. more furious that he was snubbed as a saidi arabian and more that the royal family let infidels protect arab soil and sovreignity. this rubbed bin laden so badly that he turned fanaticly against anything to do with the west.....and of course israel, buddy buddy with the west. 9/11 was a revenge plot on bin laden's part to show the saudi royalty he means business and to stick a finger in their face.

The alleged comment that was reported by Monroe Freedman on a note from Carter's office happened over THIRTY years ago. He's had time to "mature" IF he actually made those alleged comments. I'd like to hear Carter's side on the issue. And where is the Holocaust memorial for the Roma and Sinti who also were murdered by the Nazis? or the homosexuals or disabled victims?

was meant for a different article. But while I'm here, let me say I agree with Apartheid from Boston... and with Carter's book too.

bravo!!!

Your analysis, sir, is lacking beyond all belief. Get over your own self-hatred, your issues with authority, and your need to be right while making those around you wrong, and open your eyes. Only a mealy-mouthed liberal takes the opportunity to put down those who help, as being those 'who are not helping enough, for the right reasons, or in the right ways.' If I told you what that made YOU, they would not print this post. What are you doing to help besides putting down those who do?
