Marty ,   USA   (01.07.09)
If you are for real, then you were ashamed to be Jewish long before the Gaza operations started. It's one thing to abhor any civilian deaths. It's quite another when you place more value on the civilian casualties of an enemy sworn to your annihilation 95% of whom voted to elect their terrorist government), over the civilian casualties of your own people who want nothing but peace and who unilaterally withdrew from that cesspool four years ago and still got fired upon, then you have crossed the line from rational thought to psychosis. You are in serious need of long-term psychiatric help.
32. Israel
Darryl Nix ,   Dallas Texas   (01.07.09)
It is Israel that should be sued for terrorist activity since its inception. It illegally stole land from the Palestinians and continues to lie and steal from the rest of the world.
33. How does it feel
jim ,   usa   (01.07.09)
To be hated by most of the world for being murderers
34. Not one word.
Christopher Horn ,   Indiana, USA   (01.07.09)
I noticed, not one word from EcEWWWdor when missles were flying into Israel on a daily basis.
35. eye for an eye
Ron ,   nj,usa   (01.07.09)
wish india had been so proactive against pakistanis as israelis. that would have ended all the so called world terrorism and could have avoided the mumbai massacre. sadly though the indian pupet politicians have no b**ls to face up to the challenge.
36. #33 Could be worse: Less than 50% ill-informed
Ronald   (01.07.09)
Israel are not "murderers". Its not good that people like you think so, but its better than being dead at the hands of the enemy you say Israel "murders". If the enemy would fight without their wives and children next them - that would make a big difference.
37. I'll tell you who Ecuador is
david snaider ,   van nuys, usa   (01.08.09)
For the people too narrow minded and stupid to know who ecuador is because they are so self-centered and only care about what is good for israel...yes, ecuador is a poor,corrupt and developing country,but the people there are free from racial and religious discrimination, religious hatred, it is a real democracy, not a religious one. They live in peace with their neighbors and respect other peoples beliefs. It is also a neutral country, that is not dependant on the united states for money and arms. They are the world's largest banana and shrimp exporter as well as many agricultural,oil and other exports, unlike israel. What does israel export? Jews? racicism? Israel wishes they could have what ecuador has and live like ecuadorians do. Nobody hates ecuador(exept now israel), not even peru who had a breif war with ecuador. When this happened, israel offered ecuador to blow peru away but only if ecuador gave them one of the galapagos islands, ecuador refused. Nobody knows this, which goes to show that israel's help is conditional. Israel doesn't have shit. this is why israelis vacation all over the world, including ecuador because their own country sucks. For a country like this to make a statement goes to show how injust and cowardly the israeli's are. They don't want to give the palestinians a home state or give them land, but both ecuador and peru gave up land to hold the peace which has prevailed. maybe instead of critizising ecuador, you should learn from them.

The people there are NOT free from racial or religious discrimination. It is a very class based society. There is open racism. when you apply for a job, you have to attach your photo to your resume. They do not live in peace with there neighbors. They have fought two wars with Peru, the latest in the 1990's. They have no diplomatic relationship with Colombia. They harbor FARC. They use the US dollar so they are dependent on them for money. Your argument is based on lies.
39. Ecuador
DAVID ,   Van nuys, USA   (01.08.09)
Yes, I agree it is a class based society, full of social ills. But so is isreal, even worse, israel discriminates based on religion and race. Ecuador does live in peace. What war in 1990? there was no war, there was breif a border scuffle among soldiers from both sides who patrol the border that ussually fire ammo into the air during the anniversary of the cease fire. this happens every year. How many died? (zero).You call this a war? even so, ecuadorian and peruvian troops would never fight and kill defensless women and children in the way israel does, they only fight men against men. They do not harbor FARC. that is a lie.Colombian FARC guerillas were hiding out just over the jungle border with ecuador unknown to the ecuadorian military, when colombian forces illegally crossed the border to kill these guerrillas, ecuador protested because colombia did follow international law and tell ecuador they were going to attack the rebels. Not that ecuador was harboring these rebels, ecuador didn't even know they were there, that part of the jungle is so thick that there is no clear border, the rebels probably didn't know they were in ecuadorian territory. You make it seem that FARC rebels are safe in Ecuador, they are not, or else ecuador would be filled with them.Recently ecuador and colombia have re-established ties, read the news, you are in ecuador, inform youself and thank ecuador that they are giving you an opportunity to stay and work there and not in your U.S. supported,racist,apartheid, oppressive israel that only give opportunities to jewish people. To get a decent or government job there you have to serve in the israeli military, but to be in the military you have to be jewish. Isreal tries to attract jews from all over to go live there (I wonder why), but this backfired when a huge number of black ethiopians declared themselves jewish and fled war to go to israel. My neighbor went to israel and saw first hand that when new IDF conscripts went to the hospitals to give blood, they would throw away the blood from ethiopian soldiers but keep the blood from the whites. He saw this unknowingly to the hospital staff, the rest of the world does not know this.Attaching your foto to a resume is racism? This happens everywhere, even in the U.S., depending on the job. You make it seem that for every job you need to submit a picture, this is also a lie. Ecuador's sucre devalued so much that they converted to the dollar, so what, many countries have. At least ecuador does not rely on the over 3 billion dollars that the U.S. gives israel every year just so that they can exist as a country. If not for this aid, israel would not be able to function. Without the american made weapons, israel would not be able to defend itself either. lastly if ecuador is so bad, why are you there? Because with all of it's problems, ecuador is still better than living in israel, admit it.
40. Crimes aginst humanity
NYJ ,   USA   (01.08.09)
As defined by the ICC in 2002, any widespread or systemic attack against a civilian population constitutes crimes against humanity. Legally, Israel, you're WAY out of line on this one.
41. Rejoinder to the Doc
John Watson ,   London England   (01.09.09)
I'm sure that if Ecuador had said that the world is horrified by what Hamas........., you would not even have referred to generalissimos and what not. Incidentally , you could perhaps say who appointed the dipsomaniac moron who's about to leave the White House speaker for the ' free' ( sic ) world . Last but not least, aren't you in the least ashamed to be living on stolen land ?
42. Ecuador, one of the best places to live
Luis ,   Quito, Ecuador   (01.10.09)
For all of you that say who Ecuador is, let me tell you that my country is the second best in the world to live in, according to www.internationalliving.com Check that out.
43. This is really pathetic
Daniel ,   Loja Ecuador   (01.17.09)
I really consider you are acting so pathetically. I mean, what Ecuador's president said doesn't mean all ecuadorians think that. I at least consider what Israel is doing is perfect, except the part where people innocent people die. That's not Israel's fault; however seeing the facts you still don't give a damn about it. You keep trying to get Hammas no matter what. Something relevant here is that you talk about Ecuador like if it was the worst place of the world? You talk about wars, about our economy, about our standards of living. Ecuador itself is poor; however every year we are improving, in one year our IDH increased a lot and became a high one. That didn't happen magically, there were a lot of things achieved by our "corrupt" government. Our economy is quite stable, you can say oil is what we rely on, well we don't. We also rely on minerals, fruits, shrimp, etc. We increased almost 7% on 2008, other sources said we'd only increase 2%. On 2009 our economy will increase 5,9% according to estimations. The biggest gold and silver reserves were found in Ecuador recently. You think that won't help us at all? You should look at yourselves, you consider your country a flower garden when you don't see what your situation really is. You are critizicing a whole country just because a person commented he didn't approve what your army is doing? In the case you don't know, you are too new to consider yourselves an stunning country. Most of it is a desert, so not likely someone would love to live there. Enjoy yourselves. Egocentric people.
