I understand your exaggeration, but I think your point of view is not true. You see only one side of the conflict. You don`t want to see poor people if they are not Jews. I think that everything needs correct proportions. Tragic history of Jews can not be a JUSTIFICATION for any military activity of the State of Israel. Of course has Israel the right to SELF-DEFENSE. But question is what is defence and what is aggression. Should Israel destroy Gaza because one israeli soldier is in palestinian captivity? In my opinion economy is much efficient than tanks. Palestinian authorities lack money. This is the best instrument to keep pressure.

Turkish people have nothing against Israelis. We know who Arabs are, they once killed us remember? The Turkish people are with Israel, don't be fooled by these Arabs who live in Turkey. They are not real Turks!!!

Sir, you are an idiot. What happened - lose your backbone after years of kissing muslim backside? Oh, and no. 11 - I believe the brit word that fits you is "wanker."

Are you serious? You, a Jew inhabiting Israel take sides with the Palestinians? Have you no dignity?! If it's so hard to live in Israel, then get out of there- Israel doesn't need inhabitants like you standing in the way. By the way, if you knew anything of the history of Israel- the Jews have inhabitted the land for thousands of years- so you can reply to those who say "You are living in the house of my grandparents". Tell them that "long before your grandparents were born, my people lived here."

Who's the one with the reading problem- I agree with Linda- Jews get out when you can, Turkey can kiss my jewish ass.

by golly, i think i know what's responsible for Israel's strong economy!

"Tragic history of Jews can not be a JUSTIFICATION for any military activity of the State of Israel. " Who said it is a justification? Defence of the people and the state is the justification. And if you really think it's just about one soldier, you should try learning a lot more about the situation. And do you really think that it is appropriate for a gentile citizen of Poland, a viciously anti-Semitic nation which openly and joyfully collaborated with the Nazis to murder 99% of the Jews living in Poland in 1939 (over 3 million people), should present himself as an expert to the Jewish people on how they should defend themselves?

The media has been getting alot of things wrong lately. They make the minority into the majority and the majority into the minority. How do Turks really feel? As for an Arab calling it a Holocaust. Well, we know the Mufti of Jerusalem was a Nazi and wanted the same thing for Jews in Palestine as in Europe. We also know that Jordan Palestine is 0% Jewish, Gaza is 0% Jewish, and Israel is 20% Arab because Jews respect its Arab minority while many Arabs and their governments dont respect Jews rights to their land. The population facts speak pretty loud. Come to think of it, how about the fact that the Christian population is shrinking is every single Arab country as well, or that the Arabs are committing genocide against the Black Sudanese. Who is at fault here? Hmm, must be Israel because they refuse to be servants in the Middle East or because they defend themselves. Give it a rest.

The flagrant practice of terrorism perpetrated by Israel, replying to terrorist acts with terrorism, can only be counter-productive, as it continues to be proven. If the UK had replied to terrorist acts by the IRA by massacres of civilians in Belfast, the whole world would have shouted out in horror. How can Tel Aviv expect to win the propaganda war, claim the moral high ground and win the hearts and minds of the international community by destroying civilian infrastructures in Gaza with military hardware, namely an act of State Terrorism? However wrong, criminal and unacceptable the kidnapping of Corporal Gilad Shalit was, an action carried out not by "militants" as some say but rather by terrorists, it is equally unacceptable to target bridges and power stations with military hardware. This is a war crime and it is State Terrorism However Tel Aviv will never figure on the US State Department's black list on terrorism basically because Tel Aviv does what it wants.

SO TRUE! THE WORLD HATES IT WHEN THE JEWS DEFEND THEMSELVES. THERE IS NO INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC OUTCRY AND STREET DEMONSTRATION BY PEOPLE OTHER THAN JEWS WHEN A PREGNANT MOTHER WAS MURDERED WITH HER 4 DAUGHTERS IN COLD BLOOD, RESTAURANTS, SCHOOL BUSES,KINDERGARTENS, PUBLIC BUSES , DISCOS WERE BLOWN UP,AND SO MUCH MORE!!! THE DOUBLE STANDARD AND FAVORITISM TOWARD THE "POOR"PALESTINIANS WHO CHOSE A TERRORIST GOVERNMENT WHO'S MAIN GOAL IS TO DESTROY ISRAEL, IS TRULY REVOLTING! THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE. JEWS ARE REQUIRED TO SUFFER AND SHUT-UP. THE WORLD HATES A PROUD JEW WHO DEFENDS HIS COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE!!!!

You know folks, I've noticed one interesting thing: Every time israelis get killed in countless bombings, shooting and rocket fire, no one seems to notice. No public demonstrations, protests and other kind of loud activities. No one gives a shit to what happening to jews. But when something happening to the palestinians - the whole hell breaks loose! In the same time no one cares for the nightmare that happening in Darfur including the dear UN. The world is antisemitic, regardles of what they say. I'm wondering if palestinian attacks on Israel ever reported in Arab media?

Listen, Mr. Quito, where were you when Israelis were being slaughtered by suicide bombers, snipers, lynchers, et al? What the hell do you expect us to do when the perpetrators of those crimes are voted in to government office and the hundreds of rockets are launched against us and our soldiers and civilians kidnapped? What would the government of Ecuador do if their people were murdered in the streets by terrorists? If they did not protect you, would you find excuses for the government and for the poor, poor terrorists?

nobody ever says "ah, poor Jews". when Israelis are taking regular hits from suicide bombers the world blames Jews for it. at least now only the muslims are all up in arms against Israel and not the rest of the world for a change. can't please everyone.

that Turkey was one of the few countries that took Jews in during the Holocaust. Please do not make things black and white. It is not so simple.

Jews must have the same human right of self-defense that the rest of the human race has!

"If the UK had replied to terrorist acts by the IRA by massacres of civilians in Belfast, the whole world would have shouted out in horror" That's exactly how the UK behaved. Have you never heard of its "shoot to kill" policy or the Bloody Sunday massacre? Israel naturally is doing nothing of the sort here, but is merely responding in a sensible and moderate fashion not just to the kidnapping of one soldier but also to the firing of hundreds of rockets at her territory. And what of the UK and the US at Dresden, Hiroshima, Serbia, Afghanistan and Iraq? How many hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have been killed by those two nations in defence of their interests? I'm afraid you have many more problems much closer to home regarding the gross abuse of human rights than the Jewish state has ever been guilty of.

What Israel is trying to do is survive and to protect the lives of the people of the State of Israel. If you do not like the methodology, I really don't freaking care. Our enemies - including the democratically elected Hamas government (democracy will never be the same) - is determined to annihilate us. We will not acquiesce to please you, nor will we dally with niceties while our lives are on the line. So very, very sorry that you find that troubling.

Yep it could happen, but only after the Christians and completed Jews are Raptured to meet the Lord in the air. Be warned you Islamic devils what your fate is: Hell, because you are fighting against the one true God and His chosen. You all all like fish on a hook being drawn to the great showdown of Good vs Evil. Your the loser ones just to make things clear..

someone kidnapped someone in your family. Why don't you take his place. Your ignorant, and it grossly shows by your remarks. State terrorism is exacxtly what the Hamas government is doing. Israel does not target or hide behind innocent women and children no matter what. Terrorists target the innocent, and hide behind them..AKA Cowards. It is perfectly acceptable to target bridges and infrastructure rather than innocent human life. Israel publicly acknowleges thier military activities, and have a scutinized budget with defense spending. In other words, transparent. Where the Hamas government for years has stolen foriegn aid to fund militias and has let their own people suffer because of their bloodlust for Jewish blood. Not transparenmt and highly Illegal. Your just an anti-semtic Red-Neck with a computer, hanging out in Tennesee. Hopw many white sheets to you own. Drink your bourbon, ooops, you don't make bourbon, only Kentucky does. Self medicating is a solution, and I suggest you start now.

No exaggeration. The hypocrisy of the world against the Jews is the same old story . The world sides with barbaric ,evil cursed ,Palestinian's. You. as a Pole know this hypocrisy ? I assume you suffer from catholicism much like sebastain does. It clouds the mind and causes catholics to endear themselves to Islamic butchers. I understand ,I was once enslaved to lies and delusions as you are. BUT THE TRUTH SET ME FREE ! Slaw , The Palestinians are cursed according to Geneis 12 ;3 This is why no matter how many billiosn are sent to them ,nothing helps ,they say in the sewage of their own making ,tthey teach their chuldren violence and hate against th Jews ,killing them with joy and zeal. and for this they deserve the fate of the Nazi's. ONly Israel is being way to nice.

Very cool, Danny, except that I really have to tell you that we Jews have always been complete according to our covenant with Hashem. Happy rapture and see ya.

Hypocrite

Read "The Politically Incorrect Guide To Islam" by Robert Spencer. That book, more than any other contemporary piece I've read illuminates the inherent jihadist threat we face from Islam.

Yes, Poland had the most righteous. But 5,632 Poles does not, unfortunately, erase the overall deep-rooted and historic Polish anti-Semitism. 5,632 people knew what it was to be a good Christian. The rest of the adult population went along with the bulk of the Polish clergy, which taught some of the worst and most virulently anti-Semitic interpretations of the Catholic faith. I am sorry that this makes you uncomfortable, but there were segments of Polish society that killed numbers of the few Jews who survived and attempted to return to their homes. Just a week or so ago, the Chief Rabbi of Poland was attacked. Slawomir, the truth is not always easy to face.

So whose houses are you talking about? Besides, there are plenty of Arabs living in the Jewish houses in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Egypt, in Hebron, Gaza, Old Jerusalem, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, you name it, without any thoughts of guilt. And then there are all those Europeans living in the Jewish houses whose owners they had helped to murder and none of them feeling the slightest guilt about it. So, give your guilt a rest. As to Turkey, soon they forget all the help Israelis gave them after the earthquake. Perhaps Israelis should not hurry with their help next time around since their help, just like ours, is often taken for granted and rarely appreciated.

But don't congratulate yourself too much -- remember Jedwabne and places like it, 1941, Kielce 1947, March 1968.
