Hey Ellen from South Sea Hampshire. You obviously dont quite understand "democratically elected".. democracy works both ways ... goverments can democratically support governments they want to or to decide not to.. democracy is two ways. It is not generally governments policy to feed the hand that's going to bite it. The Hamas organisation is not only limited to support of terror against Israel but runs far wider - even to your country. Living in a world of ideals such as those you clearly believe is living in a fools paradise. I hope you are not on a train from South Sea Hampshire to London when your mates come a calling for you to realise this.

Hollywood couldn't write a better script. The person who starts the fight and suffers an ugly and public thrashing for it, bleats out to the press how it's all the other side's fault. While Hamas' election was scary, there was scant hope that these guys could make peace. You know, the old story: Begin was a tough guy so he could give up land. Nixon's right wing credentials were so strong he could recognize China without the commies overruning the USA etc. etc. Sad to say that the hope that Haniyeh could fit this mold has been dashed every time he opens his mouth. He's just a doctrinaire Ellen Prescott with a beard. He spews anti-Israel platitudes, dresses his fighters up in fierce, black, face-hiding masks and green bandanas and has them out there shooting holes in the air. There hasn't been from this man the slightest hint of leadership towards a better life for his people. All he has to do is stop the Kassams and the Israeli retaliations will stop. But he'd rather have the retaliations because he can bray at the Europress that it's murderous, criminal, apartheid, Israeli aggression. What a loser.The only things long and cruel here are how long he will have to wait for Israel to even bother with the peace process if he keeps up this behavior and how cruel his leadership remains to his own people who suffer every single day more from his arrogant intransigence than they do from any fence or checkpoint. It's time to stop this "it all started when he hit me back" game he plays.

KAPARA ,   Hemp-shire   (06.07.06)
Ellen is not an anti semite. She is only saying that you should stop holding arabs accountable for their actions. The arabs should not pay a price for making wars against israel. THe apartheid walls that surround each and every arab country prohibiting jews/christians from immigrating into an arab country are not racist and are nothing compared to israels security barrier to protect against homicide bombers intentionally killing our civilians. That wall is unfair, it makes the palestinians work harder to kill. All she is saying is that the jews should be held more accountable than arabs. All she is saying is that it is o.k. to ethnically cleanse jews from arab countries and not hold arabs accountable. she is clearly not anti semetic, just a hypocrite. she won't respond to me, she never does.
44. #41...nice try...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (06.07.06)
Bloody occupation? When Israel left, they started killing each other, right? What have you to say about this? We see this in Iraq too. Muslims killing each other for who knows what reason. The blame Israel bandwagon has left buddy. Get real!!!
45. We... who is WE... Gabrielle asks
Nathan   (06.07.06)
WE are the free people of this earth who can see the UGLINESS of the Israeli occupation and Israeli Killing Machine and Israeli Land Grabing Greed, all defended by even more ugly people just like Gabrielle and the likes of Gab
46. Pali PM asks Inter. Comm. to let.....
Jacob ,   DC   (06.07.06)
the Palis attack, while making sure Israel refrains from responding to any attack. What a bunch of cowards. Hiding behind women and children and the Inter. Comm., while terrorizing and killing women and children. How come no one in the Inter. Comm. see's this. Are they blind, or does the world as a whole hate us?
47. I totally agree with #27, 32, 33, 34, 35, 39

48. TO Kapara-43
Ellen Prescott ,   Southsea, Hampshire   (06.07.06)
I hold everybody to account for their actions. However, one mustn't confuse 'terrorism' with resistance. The walls surrounding Arab countries (if there even are any) are not part of a deep and complex system based on setting two standards for two people, based on race, within one state (as Israel does, and as South Africa did). Israel's exclusion wall has little to do with security. Israel is at fault for Palestinian attacks (many Israeli politicians, intellectuals, and academics have acknowledged this), which it has provoked during its disgusting occupation. The exclusion wall is designed to intrude deep into Palestine, taking the best land and resources, leaving useless, barren bantustans for the Palestinians. Few Jews were actually expelled from Arab countries. Most left out of the opportunity of Israel and because of growing Arab hostility after Israel's brutal land theft and expulsions during the independence war. Now that I have responded to you personally, will you explain to me why you have allowed yourself to turn against and to ignore the genocide and occupation of your own Arab bretheren?

In Bizarro NATHAN's world: Up is down, down is up, Insanity is normal, the Normal are insane, Right is Left, Left is Right, Backwards is Forward, Forward is Backwards, Good is Evil. Evil is Good, Lies are the Truth, The Truth are Lies, The blind can see, The sighted are blind, Arabs are passive, Jews are aggressive, Arabs are automatically innocent, Jews are automatically Guilty It is scary in Bizarro NATHAN's world.

The wall surrounding Israel (if there even are any) is not part of a deep and complex system based on setting two standards for two people, based on race, within one state (as in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Afganistan, Sudan, etc., etc,, and as South Africa did). The Arabs exclusion wall has little to do with security. The palestinians are at fault for Israeli attacks (many Israeli politicians, intellectuals, and academics have acknowledged this), which it has provoked during its disgusting occupation of Jewish land. The exclusion wall is designed to intrude deep into the Jewish national homeland, taking the best land and resources, leaving useless, barren bantustans for the Israelis. Few Arabs were actually expelled from Israel. Most left out of the opportunity to destroy the Jews and because of growing Israeli hostility after Arabs brutal war of genocide during the independence war. Now that I have responded to you personally, will you explain to me why you have allowed yourself to turn against and to ignore the Arab genocide and occupation of of the Jewish national homeland?
51. Ellen - I think you are lying!
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (06.07.06)
So the Palestinians are 100 per cent innocent, and not to blame for any of their misfortune? Their leaders have not robbed the people of BILLIONS over the years? Resistance does not attack innocent civilians. Resistance does not attempt to bomb school buses. And speaking of walls - the Arab walls preventing Palestinians from becoming citizens are MILES HIGH! There are millions of Palestinians in "camps" in Egypt, Syria and Lebanon.

avramele   (06.07.06)
ok, comrade, you believe that all Israeli "land grabs" as you put it are illegitimate... I a leftist as well believe we had a right as a people among peoples to carve out territory for ourselves and I won't apoligize for wanting to survive. so now we must compromise --- divide a land i say as a one state solution is a recipe for civil war and worse. as no border is god given or historically unassailable the two sides must negotiate... ok, so back to Taba or camp david and talk. Take that to your soul mate Haniyeh.
55. REPLY TO ELLEN
KAPARA   (06.08.06)
When you intentionally kill civilians and children, you are a terrorist and murderer not a "resistance fighter". How many jews/christians were allowed to immigrate into the arab countries over the past 50 years? That can be rounded to zero. Still think there are no apartheid walls around the arab countries? Again, you hold jews to a higher level of accountability than arabs. Wall in israel has nothing to do with security? What made them start making it? It is the wall that terrorism built. Blame israel for the actions of arab terrorists? again, you hold jews to a higher level of accountability than arabs because you are a bigot and hypocrite. Few jews expelled from arab countries??? TRUST ME, NEARLY 1,000,000 OR TWICE THE NUMBER THAT FLED ISRAEL AT THEIR OWN CHOICE WHEN THE ARAB ARMIES ATTACKED. When you decide to make war instead of peace, bad things happen. Interesting that you say israel expelled the arabs, we sure did do a bad job since nearly 20% of israel is arab. You think we left for "opportunity in israel", you idiot, I lived my first 10 years in israel in a tent city with 50,000 other ethnically cleansed jews. Perhaps if israel had put me in a "refugee camp" inside israel then I could have your pity, but instead, I was absorbed like the other million jews. That is called being accountable, something you do not hold the arab world to be. Land theft? When the arabs chose war instead of peace they should be held to account unless your brain belongs to ellen prescott. The only land stolen was my house in bagdad. And the homes of a million other jews in the arab countries. TURN AGAINST MY ARAB BRETHREN????? YOU END YOUR POST SHOWING YOUR STUPIDITY. My family was in iraq before it was iraq, before the arabs even came to what is now iraq, thats right, the jews were there. Now there are none. HOW CAN THE ARABS BE MY BRETHREN? You are a moron. NOW LET ME HEAR YOU SAY THAT THE ARAB WORLD SHOULD COMPENSATE THE MILLION JEWS THAT LOST THEIR LIVES AND PROPERTY IN IRAN/IRAQ/YEMEN/SYRIA/LEBANON/EGYPT/LYBIA/TUNIS, ETC. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE AND YOU KNOW IT.

http://www.geocities.com/ellen_southsea/links.html Well some of the over 4000 that got her profile must have thought about it .... somehow - or she just did cut and run - while the lawsuits are progressing against the boycotters Under article 13 of the EU Racism law.

"We stand with Prime Minister Haniyeh" LIAR. Support for Palestinians has gone WAY DOWN in Europe. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be the trouble that muslims have been bringing to Europe? Go back to sleep ellen!
