STOP SHOOTING MISSILES AT SDEROT
32. #31
Richard ,   London UK   (12.20.07)
you can't take it can you?
33. Belal and Invicta
(12.20.07)
Belal and Invicta have no intention of discovering what are the issues of the rocket assault on Sderot because they don't care if Israeli children and other civilians are killed.Invicta especially shows a profound ignorance and arrogance. In his/her posting, it is stated that the terrorist groups did not exist before 1947. Obviously, the know-nothing's solution would be to destroy Israel It also shows Invicta's incredible ability to lie or its inc redible ignorance. The Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that spawned the radical Muslim organizations was started long before 1947 and the Mufti of Jerusalem was an ally of Hitler before 1947. Both Belal and Invicta repeat the lies of the Palestinian narrative. Belal admonishes Israel to stop siezing territory. Yet, Gaza was returned to the Palestinians and Israel was rewarded with a terrorist government that has stated categorically that it will never recognize Israe. Hamas supports the rocket fire against Sderot. Belal obviously wants Israel to withdraw from more territory so that more rockets can be fired into Israel. Both also accuse Israel of strangling the Palestinians in Gaza. Well, exactlly what prevents the other Arab States from peaceful trading with Gaza and giving economic aid. The map also shows that Gaza shares a border with Egypt. The liars won't acknowledge that.
34. To #15 - Invicta
Ted ,   London   (12.20.07)
Before 1947, Israel didn't exist as a state, So, is that the solution you suggest to the Isareli people ?? BTW, "Palestine" is a roman name, and the immigration of so called palestinians, came from neigbouring arab states. But wait for another 20-30 years and all the PC brigades in Europe will find that organizations like "hamas" are on your door step. It is unfortunately happens already to an extent in the UK.I wonder when you and other"Europeans" will open your eyes..
35. #15 Who?
Sidney ,   USA   (12.20.07)
Lady, who is invincible, you or the Palestinians? With your attitude, Europe will fall like rotten apples to the hoards of Islamic fundamentalists.
36. #34
Invicta ,   Europa   (12.20.07)
Then why don't you leave? Europe is a great place - go and live in a segregated israel if it's so bad in Europe - There you can live with no Arabs, no blacks, hardly any christians, no Indians, no pakistanis, no muslims.
37. Very, Very Easy To Stop. You Just Have To Have The Baytzeem
David ,   Marietta, USA   (12.20.07)
Which this government has consistently shown it lacks.
38. #27, how many times are you going to use this lie
Danny   (12.20.07)
Over and over again it has been pointed out to you that Palestinian minors are not all innocence and light. But you still quote these figures like they mean something. They don't. I notice you never quote the figures for civilians which show that the percentage of Israeli civilians killed is nearly twice that of Palestinians killed despite the fact that unlike Palestinian civilians, Israeli civilians live far from any combat zone and are clearly designated - as the Geneva Convention you pretend to care so much about requires.
39. #24, who cares?
Danny   (12.20.07)
Why do you keep posting about the fact that the economic situation of the Palestinians is bad. Lets assume that Ms Bashi by some miracle is not simply lying. So what? Guess what the situation of Israelis in 2002 wasn't that good, neither was that of brits in 1940, nor of Russians in 1941 to 1944, nor of Japanese and Germans in 1945. This is called fighting a war. Want open borders? Don't "resist". Want us to stop kill your "militants"? Don't "resist". Want the death of civilians standing next to "militants" to stop? Don't "resist". Want a serious conversation about settlements? Dont "resist". Want peace? Don't "resist". If you want to fight you have got to pay the price. It is that simple
40. #26, so what you are saying is that it is all the Pals fault
Danny   (12.20.07)
"So far about $10bn has been given to the Palestinians since 1993, but poverty and unemployment have only increased, the result of poor management, continued conflict with Israel and the occupation", lets see: "poor management" - Palestinians fault. "continued conflict with Israel" - SOLELY Palestinians fault "the occupation" - Palestinians fault. You have hit the nail on the head. The leadership of the Palestinians dont WANT an end to the occupation. Who wants to run a country? Ask Mr Brown how much fun it is. Why have all that headache when you can "resist" forever, get billions in unaccountable aid. I mean does Haniyeh look starving to you? Or lacking a bob or two?
41. #15, actually there was
Danny   (12.20.07)
It just had a different name. Hamas is the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood which was founded in the 20s - Osama's sidekick was a member of the Egyptian wing. Islamic Jihad has existed since then too. Hizbollah was founded by the Iranians. It had a wing in Saudi, but the Saudis killed them all - along with a large portion of the people around them. Of course now Saudi doesn't have a "Hizbollah in Saudi" problem. Good to see your grasp of ME history is as appalling as ever.
42. #3, yeah because that worked in the 90s
Danny   (12.20.07)
Hmm, let me see there has been a precipitate decline in Israeli casualties since April 2002. Why is that? Did Israel "stop the occupation" and halt the "illegal" settlements? Nope, in fact we took over full control of the West Bank. Did we stop the road blocks? Nope we increased them. Did we stop "strangling the economy"? Apparently not. Did we stop "killing Palestinians"? Nope. Did we stop building the wall - you know the one that "doesn't stop terrorists"? Nope. Of course there are two places where Israel pulled out to the mm, and destroyed the settlements in one. Lebanon and Gaza. Remind me again where all of Israel's problems are at the moment?
43. #36, how do you manage to know so little?
Danny   (12.20.07)
I am constantly amazed you can read this newspaper and know zero about Israel. 20% of Israel is Arab, most of them are muslim. You wander round Jerusalem you'll see nuns and monks - which you hardly see in Europe. There are also thousands of Indians, Chinese and Japanese. We also have a large portion of the population from Ethiopia who are blacks. Pakistanis are not allowed by their country to come to Israel - though I am sure a number do. Extraordinary that this is not known to you. Especially given your tendency to post on Israeli arab news and also when there was a spurt of news about treatment of Ethiopians.... it is proof of the power of ideology over facts. Or of course, you could simply be lying.
44. #36, #43
Israel Israel ,   tel aviv   (12.20.07)
why only Jerusalem? Wander in any Israeli mall or supermarkertand you find Arabs shopping. Go to Israel restaurants, find Arab guests eating. Go to the amusement parks and see Arab children having a nice day. Apparently #36 is a brainless idiot who knows nothing about reality. Maybe if she educated herself she would have something intelligent to say.
45. #43, I meant nuns and monks - only met them in Jerusalem
