61. Left-wing activists protest Gaza op as 'genocide'
Paul ,   Israel   (12.28.08)
'Genocide'??? Where were these people when the rockets were falling on Sderot and the South? They should be ashamed of themselves! I am disgusted that they even call themselves Israelis!!!
62. 250 Killed a "genocide"? 34,000 Jews in Babi Yar in 2 days
GZLives   (12.28.08)
That's genocide Lefties ...
63. ship 'em to gaza
(12.28.08)
64. Put the leftists in Sderot
Rav   (12.28.08)
and let them intercept the rockets
65. stupidity is not a victimless crime.
dante ,   uk   (12.28.08)
how stupid can one get? Israel begs hamas to stop the attacks and they mock Israel's restraint and continue the attacks. and, when Israel finally acts to defend its people, these sanctimonious fools rush to the streets to condemn their government. how stupid can one get?
66. me and my friends
tal ,   ta   (12.28.08)
have been there throwing eggs at them. we bought like 200 eggs... if the'd stay home we'd be eating yemen-like shakshukas the whole week ;-)
67. Complicity.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.28.08)
Those who defend the Palestinians uncritically are enablers of murder. Not just the murder of Israelis, about whom they clearly could hardly care less, but the murder of the Palestinian victims of the Palestinian terrorists. The uncritical Palestinian partisans also share responsibility for the blood of the Palestinians who die in Israeli strikes intended to stop the aggression against Israelis and Israeli cities. The Israelis living in Judea, Samaria and Gaza cannot tolerate the stabbing of Jewish boys by Palestinians (Israel cannot let this go on, while the Palestinians fire more powerful rockets deeper into its territory.) These attacks are the only reason for the Israeli strikes. Those who support the Palestinian “resistance” are aiding the provocation that makes these strikes necessary. Unless they temper their support with strong and unequivocal criticism of Palestinian aggression, all their sympathy for the Palestinian people is nothing more than crocodile tears as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5da
68. leftist
sam t   (12.28.08)
send the leftist to their arab friends
69. Killing hundreds of terrorists isn't genocide!
Palestiniansareamyth ,   USA   (12.28.08)
It's self-defense idiots!
70. Self hating Israelis
Shosh ,   J-m, Israel   (12.28.08)
And what about the terror in the Jewish areas surrounding Gaza? Don't cry for the enemies if you cannot also cry for your brethren who are suffering. He who has mercy for the cruel will end up being cruel to the merciful.
71. Facts and logic -not for the Left
Shoshi ,   Galil, Israel   (12.28.08)
If the Left would condemn the rocket attacks --which terrorize Israeli civilians daily maybe I'd give them some credit. But they don't. The Israeli left hates being Jewish. They should leave the country and see what it is to be a Jew in America-outside of Brooklyn-or in England, France etc. I've known some really closed lefttists actually grow up when they hit reality outside of Israel. Here they just talk to themselves. The Miracle factor, today as in the past--has saved so many from the rocket attacks. Just as in the Gulf war when GWB I said that the Scuds couldn't kill and why was Israel so paranoid--and then boooom, one Scud hit the American base and many were killed, the Left and the anti-semites are saying that the death count is too big among the terrorists and Israel is exaggerating the problem. Miracles do happen here daily--but we cannot rely on miracles. We have to get rid of those who want to get rid of us, it is that simple. All you silly leftists--go and live in Paris or in a non Jewish neighborhood in New York or Boston etc. You'll meet lots of reality testing, maybe you'll grow up to be a normal human being and not your Ema's little cranky boy or girl.
72. What country do these people live in?
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.28.08)
No attack on Israel, no injury to Jews can convince the insane radical Left that we have a right to defend ourselves. They are a disgrace and a burden to us, in our struggle for survival and peace.
73. Leftist demonstrations.
Jenny ,   Israel   (12.28.08)
Perhaps those leftist souls who accuse Israel of war crimes should spend one year in Sderot, together with their children of course. Then, and then only should they demonstrate. And after that year, let the negotiations begin. Should be very interesting indeed.
74. Sad that only 300 people in Tel Aviv have clear vision
Uri ,   Toronto, Canada   (12.28.08)
Israel is digging its own grave deeper and deeper. The very generous Arab peace and integration plan remains on the table, but how long can Israel reject peace and commits acts of mass terror before it is withdrawn and the Arab states decide to intervene? How long will the U.S. bankroll Israeli terrorism? Even the most bloodthirsty Zionists need to realize that the current arrangement of power is not permanent.
75. # 74 Read Further
Matthew ,   U.S.A.   (12.28.08)
Uri, I hope for the sake of Israel you do not have duel-citizenship. Tell me two things, Uri. When (dates and years...I need facts), since the creation of Islam, have the muslims not been fighting someone? Uri, you act as if prior to 1948, Muslims have not been fighting others unlike themselves. Secondly, how have the Oslo Peace Accords worked-out for Israel? Feel free to debate me, Uri. I left my e-mail address for those brave people in Tel Aviv, Ontario, Canada to challenge me to a debate. Go IDF!!!
76. in response to #75.
Balsam ,   Dearborn USA   (12.29.08)
Enough has gone on on both sides so that neither the israelis nor hamas are fully justified in their violent means to attain their ends.. But! Simply stating that prior to 1948, Muslims have had a number of conflicts with others, is a half-truth. Does that denote that, because the plight of the muslims has gone on for centuries, they are in the wrong? Enough races/creeds/religions exist that have been treated wrongly without just cause, and so we can rightly conclude that this is not so. The arabs didn't ask for colonization on their land, and it seems like a lot to ask of them to have peace talks to negotiate about what is rightfully theirs. Sure, it's a bit late to complain--since 1948 millions of Palestinian people have been displaced/left because of the state of things/etc...but in peace talks, they should at least be cut a better deal than they have been receiving lately. ..And if israel is a democracy as a lot of people here so daftly claim, then more people would realize that whether or not they agree with these leftists, it is completely within their rights to protest.
77. #35, England IS going Muslim
Madeline ,   US   (12.30.08)
Sad to say, England is ceding more and more of its power and ancient culture to Muslims. The Muslim goal is to take power - everywhere - and England is crumpling in many ways. People still don't want to get it that Islam itself is the real danger, since it demands that its followers take over the world and make it follow Islamic laws. There can't be any appeasing an ideology like this. It just has to be stopped dead in its tracks.
78. leftists - no blame
Martin Olmert ,   Ashdod   (12.31.08)
lol but I think they will need more quilted coats and foam mattresses to avoid serious injuries from police. Olmert administration is a known the most fascist and oppresive regime, he only knows how to make more anger and rage from muslims and non-supporter groups, to make our lifes more pacific and comfortable :) I am not on behalf of receiving a rocket on my roof.
79. To the left-wing activists...
Aviva ,   New York   (12.31.08)
Thank you! It's good to know that there is outrage over this in Tel Aviv as well. To anyone who says that protesting the war means "You care only about Palestinians and not Israelis" (or some variation on that) - - The death toll in Gaza has reached 375. 1720 injured. To care more about a few deaths in Israel than hundreds in Gaza is a manifestation of an offensive superiority complex...AND it's just plain obnoxious.
80. the only genocide is that encouraged by leftist on israel
ralph   (01.01.09)
by arabs and pals.
81. Fire At Will For Hamas
USABorn   (01.01.09)
The world watched as Israel allowed/tolerated Hamas firing hundreds of bombs from Gaza, into civilian populated areas. What about Israel's children and quality of life. A person should feel safe in their own country or should fight until they are. Hamas started what they cannot finish themselves. The world is still watching. Hamas is a pathetic group of murders who hide behind women and children. Hamas is an evil band of idiots who commit murder of Israeli's and Palestinians. Their leader wants Israel to stop "unconditionally". That should never happen.
