1. Our friendly neighbors.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.13.09)
Imagine if you will if the situation were reversed - Israelis taking pot shots across the border. Can you imagine the uproar this would cause? The media would eat this up. Learned lunatics from academia would be writing about the aggressiveness of Israeli society, ''peace groups'' would decry our ''militarism'' as a threat to democratic values, & our rather disloyal Arab politicians would cite this as proof of our hatred of Arabs. But coming from Arabs, this is pretty much ignored or explained away. After all, Arabs have ''grievances'' - actually, an almost unlimited supply while we, of course, do not have the right to have similar ''grievances'' no matter what is done to us. Just an observation, folks.
2. #1, Terry.
DkS ,   J'lem, IL   (01.13.09)
It's not often that I agree with you, but in this case you're 100% right.
3. #1 whining is not accepted from the mighty, while he has
observer   (01.13.09)
murdered 280 kids and vows to smash 750,000 kids in Gaza alone.
4. what it means when Arabs deny
Lambert Skoakes ,   Manhattan, NY   (01.13.09)
They don't mean it didn't happen - they just mean they don't want it to have happened, they were not in favor of it, and had nothing to do with it. Accidents happen or a lone guy can do bad things, but denying it means you don't take responsibility for it, it doesnt mean it didn't physically happen.
5. #3, what?
Nord   (01.13.09)
Observer, do you have any proof backing up your retarded statement on Israel's plan with 750 000 children in Gaza? Do you think any of this would happen if Hamas didn't screw everyone over?
6. Wrong again
observer   (01.13.09)
after thinking it through, I suppose #1 is right.
7. when will we learn?
Ilana   (01.13.09)
It does not matter what we do or don't, the arabs want us dead inmostcases atleast, and the world will be quiet as in so many past times. Hatred and jealousy get passed on from day1 thoughout the generations. Let them rant on to each other. We know what needs to be done. We know what is right.
8. 3# get in here
Daniel ,   Rehovot, Israel   (01.13.09)
Now listen,you're asking to take care of the Gazans(as we do-shipping them food and medical aids) while Hamas doesn't, right? Hamas leaders are deep beneath the ground-and dont give a damn about the people who have chosen them. So they got used to firing rockets at Israel knowing that we can damage them very badly but they didn't care, so why would I care for these poor children?? There is a say:"A person who doesn't want to help himself, nobody can help him".
9. The neighbours don't like you then move
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (01.13.09)
10. #6 after third thinking
observer   (01.13.09)
I'm wrong again; Haniyah said they are 450 murdered kids, not only 280.
11. #5 Jews had the proof, but Allies didn't blow up railways
observer   (01.13.09)
12. The Arrogance of Israel
Zyriab ,   MontrĂ©al   (01.13.09)
The arrogance of Israel will prompt Arabs & non-Arabs more & more to react like this.
13. Bedouins
Avi ,   Jerusalem   (01.13.09)
The Jordanian bedouins have shown thier Islamic tendencies.
14. #10 Keep your retardness to yourself. Thank you
J   (01.13.09)
15. #9
Bad neighbour ,   North, Israel   (01.13.09)
If the neighbours don't like me let them move!
