1. THE U.S. BETRAYAL OF ISRAEL
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (01.07.06)
Israel suffers continual terror attacks from global jihad. Under U.S. pressure, Israel ACCEPTS continual war, rewarding her enemies! 10,000 Jews were punished for not being Muslim. Jewish land and thousands of greenhouses and hundreds of farms of the hated infidel Jews were confiscated and given to Muslims. Muslim mobs destroyed the synagogues. Jobless and homeless Jewish refugees are forced to pay mortgages on their destroyed homes! Israel's surrender of Gaza brought terrorists closer to major Israeli population centers. Arab missiles now fire on Ashkelon, previously not within range. Sderot's mayor complains Israel has abandoned Sderot. Happy terrorists fire rockets on Sderot, just as terrorists were allowed to fire thousands of rockets and mortars on Gaza's Jews. Terrorists and massive amounts of weapons pass freely through the Gaza-Egypt border. Rockets are fired from Jewish Gaza, which has been transformed into terrorist training camps and a GLOBAL BASE FOR TERROR. The response of terrorist enablers, U.S. EU, and UN, is for terrorists to duplicate this success in Judea and Samaria. Another wicked crime against humanity is demanded. The cruel ethnic cleansing of 250,000 Jews punished for not being Muslim, rendered jobless and homeless; their land confiscated and given to Muslims. Giving Islamists military advantage over a tiny, weakened Israel reduced to an INDEFENSIBLE 6-10 miles wide at her middle ENABLING CONQUEST OF ALL ISRAEL. Will Israel fight back when it is too late, when Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and all Israel is under total attack from Islamists, with reinforcements from throughout the Muslim Middle East and beyond?
2. What stalls the peace process?
Shlomie ,   Kfar Saba   (01.07.06)
What really stalls the peace proccess which is absent from anyone speaking the honest to goodness truth......... **The Palestinians who do nothing to make Peace** The Palestinians who do not face one consequence for it. This we have the world to thank. The Palestinians who are babied and coddled by the entire world. The Palestinians who give nothing, who sacrifice nothing onto themselves, who refuse to change internal hate and wish to destroy Israel. What they do is take. Take from the great appeasers and take innocent lives of Israelis. Not surprised not one editiorial addresses this life or death aspect of the peace proccess but then neither do the leaders of the world who should but refuse. so what can we expect? Except..... More lies, more shifting the blame, more smoke and mirrors, more turning the victims into the victimizers, more pressure on Israel to give more while the Palestinians give nothing, more refussal to reveal the truth, more giving the Palestinians everything while at the same time Israel makes the ultimate sacrifices. more of the same until Israel is bled to death. end. enough.
3. The real kicker
`timna ,   Israel   (01.07.06)
Key to peace lands squarely in the hands of the Palestinians. Oh, but no one wants to talk about that do they? After all the painful concessions by Israel including land and everything which goes along with it, we see the only concessions the Palestinians make are to bite back harder and when finished spit in our face. That is if they have not killed us first! Here is the real kicker. The shame of it all... by not throwing the ball in their court the world can continue to blame the Evil Jew Zionists! Signed a Jew tired of being the scapegoat to lying world leaders and those whom they appease who wish to destroy me and mine.
4. Israel
Werner Marti ,   Switzerland   (01.07.06)
Unfortunately almost the whole World is against the Jewish State. It is all predicted in a book called the bible. By this book one also knows the final outcome. Israel will not bleed to death, it will suffer greatly though, but in the End it will be victorious, because it is Gods choosen Nation, nothing the World can do to change this!
5. A response to Linda Rivera
Kate ,   London   (01.07.06)
Israel's greatest enemy comes from within. From today's Guardian, Amos Oz on Ariel Sharon and Israel: "For all those decades I resented him. He symbolised for me everything I could not stand about my country: violent self-righteousness, a mixture of brutality and self-pity, insatiable greed for land and a mystical religious phraseology that, coming from a secular hedonistic soldier, always struck me as hypocritical. There was no other individual who personified the intoxication of many Israelis with the power of power." http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/comment/0,10551,1681125,00.html Some members of the Israeli left never cease to amaze me. As if we Jews in Britain didn't have enough to deal with.
6. Inflaming Palestinian tensions ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.07.06)
Always ignoring the daily terrorism and threats from those who do not hide their desire to wipe out Israel. It's always the Jews who are to blame and who must SACRIFICE for this peace ??? The Palestinians are only required to kill Jews and they are rewarded ALWAYS.Never held accountable,not even once. Always making excuses for their inhumane and barbaric violence. The west loves to coddles the terrorists who threaten israel .They go out of their way to make sure Israel doesn't defeat them . I wonder if israeli's might wake up from theor coma and realize that after five wars and five sound defeats of the Arab armies ,the U.S. makes sure Israel is never allowed to do this again . Another corrupt leader who can be intimidated and controlled and who will obey the orders of restraint and surrender is who Washington is looking for.
7. to #'s 1-6
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (01.07.06)
Thank you for your smart comments. It's quite amazing: first Sharon gets credit as a "peacemaker" for turning the Western Negev up to Ashkelon into a war zone and Gaza into the most dangerous terrorist base since Taliban Afghanistan; then it's used as another hammer to pound Israel by saying only he could "make peace." Israel really can't win. Amos Oz is not an Israeli in the sense of someone even minimally loyal to his country.
8. #5 LEFTIST WICKED LIE ON JIHAD AGAINST LEBANON'S CHRISTIANS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (01.07.06)
Lebanon was a Christian country until Muslims achieved a majority through an extremely high birthrate. The jihad against Lebanon's Christians was savage and barbaric. The IDF was the only hope for the embattled Christians. Click on Photo gallery of www.free-lebanon.com, 20,000 Christians handicapped by PLO atrocities. The Christians of Damour, Lebanon treated Muslims from surrounding areas free of charge in their hospital. The PLO and other terrorists repaid the Christian kindness with barbaric savagery: The Massacre and Destruction of Damour 'The attack took place from the mountain behind. It was an apocalypse. They were coming, thousands and thousands, shouting 'Allahu Akbar! God is great! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad 'And they were slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children.' Whole families were killed in their homes. Many women were gang-raped..." http://www.free-lebanon.com/LFPNews/psa/psa.html Satanic acts were perpetrated on Damour Christians.
9. #5 LEFT IGNORE BEFORE 1948, JEWS WERE THE PALESTINIANS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (01.07.06)
Amos Oz and others like him, in their hatred for the G-D of all Life and TRUTH lie for the enemy! Leftists agree with Islamists that Jews should be denied human rights! Denied living in their Biblical heartland! BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MUSLIM! Re-take Jewish Gaza! It's been transformed into terrorist training camps and a global base for terror. Global jihad is greatly empowered as the U.S. EU and UN give astonishing support for an Islamic terror state in Israel that will threaten the world. There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. JERUSALEM IS MENTIONED OVER 800 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, not once in the Koran. Arabs FIRST took the name “Palestinians” in 1967. Arafat was the FIRST leader of this NEW PEOPLE. Before 1948, Jews were known as the Palestinians! The Jewish newspaper, the Jerusalem Post was called the Palestine Post. http://palestinepostings.blogspot.com/2005/06/historical-palestinians-very-simple.html After the Jews miraculously transformed desert and swamps into rich, agricultural land (for which Jews are world famous!) Arabs came in large numbers from Arab countries for jobs from the Jews. The fact that the overwhelming majority of Arabs resided only briefly in Palestine is attested to by the special UN decree: that any Arab who had resided in Palestine FOR ONLY TWO YEARS BEFORE 1948, and then left, would be considered a refugee and so would his descendants!!! On March 31, 1977, Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein: “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.”
10. All media ignore
Elle ,   NYC   (01.08.06)
the elephant in the corner - Palestinian/Arab terrorism. This is the reason for no peace, not Sharon, not Bush. If anyone wants to really be po'd you should check out the BBC comment section on Ariel Sharon's health to see some really disgusting anti-Israel bias. This post was one of my favorites: Added: Friday, 6 January, 2006, 13:39 GMT 13:39 UK I know that you will not publish this, or even have the decency to reply, but here goes anyhow. After reading the 800-odd comments, I have come to the conclusion that your moderator purposely has cut out a lot of comments from Israelis (including 2 from myself) or which are pro-Israeli. All you are interested in is continuing your well-known long established pro-Arab stand.There is also no excuse whatsoever to include comments from people who hide behind "Anonymous" Ralph Phillips, Rishon Le Zion, Israel
11. The Washington Post, New York Times are leftist newspapers
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.08.06)
Any one with a brain in the United States knows, that these news organizations are far left. They print far left propoganda against the government of the United States. They hug tree's, actively campaign against the war, shut down oil development, and any other lefty cause, ACLU wanta bees, they proudly follow the ACLU. As for Israel, they will be happy to tell you about the poor Palestinians plight, while ignoring blown up Jews, from terrorist attacks. They will lead you to believe, that Palestinians are misunderstood, would gladly give up terrorism, for a little piece of Gaza, or the West Bank. Just like they tell us here in America, that gang violence stems from poor misguided children, from ghetto neighborhoods. They fail to see the violence for what it is. A moral breakdown of an ethnic group, or society. These groups don't just go out and commit murder. They actively teach their followers that murder is acceptable. Whether it is a means to an end, has never been taught. Just keep killing those Jews. Giving a psychotic murderor land, doesn't stop the taste of blood in the killers veins. He has tasted murder, wants more of the high, or 72 virgins, umptine camels, anything that reminds him of anarchy, or the power he feels while killing other unarmed human beings. The Muslims are actively training serial killers. The NY Times and Washington Post don't get that fact, or report that fact. Israel; can give, give, give. In the end, they will get back what the Arabs trained their people to give back. Terrorism, Innocent Israeli Deaths, and more of the same. Quit giving your country away, on some theory that man is ultimately good at heart. That was the biggest lie ever told. Man has always liked killing, pillaging, raping, and anything unsavory, as long as no one is present to watch, and judge him. Bush is under a misguided assumption, that if he can only help, working out the Israeli--Palestinian problem, all will be good in the World. He doesn't understand that serial killers don't give a shit about land. They just need an excuse to commit their murders. Land is the perfect excuse. And Hitlers excuse was?????
