The politicians are all kidding themselves if they think the Gazan civilians are so innocent. They voted Hamas in, they support them and their violence in every opinion poll. Just a few weeks ago crowds came out to a rally in whcih they mocked Gilad Shalit. They are an enemy population and I don't feel sorry for them.

Israel's restraint and appeasment for peace has had the opposite effect It only showed weakness and fed the jihadists war effort to exterminate Israel.The leftist mindset of weakness and appeasment and restraint for peace has proven an utter failure. Will they admit they were wrong or are they too proud ? If they allow Fatah to take over ,they are without brains and beyond hope.

Olmert, Livni, & Barak's restraint, to be precise.

of Jewish Rights. The area of "Palestine," as recognized by the League of Nations and the British rulers nearly 100 years ago, included what is today Israel and Jordan. The British (1921), reneged on the Balfour Declaration and the UN Charter by giving away 80% of the land - ALLOCATED FOR A JEWISH HOMELAND - TO THE UK's ARAB ALLIES! WE ARE LEFT WITH LESS THAN 20% OF THE MANDATE LAND! http://www.mythsandfacts.com/Conflict/mandate_for_palestine/mandate_for_palestine.htm The Arab nations took from the land of Israel to expand and add to their own boundaries. This they sought to do in 1948, 1967 and 1973 etc. and are still trying to do today supported by USA, UN, Russia and EU. No demands from terrorists or their collaborators will be met! OLMERT: "US a true friend of Israel?" According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they (the Jews) judge thee, Ezekiel 34:14

Why didn't he direct Rice to veto this immoral, one-sided resolution which essentially calls Israel a state sponsor of terrrorism. Secretary Rice told reporters it was important to condemn "all" acts of terrorism, no matter where they arise. The Arab world has got to love this condemnation of Israel. They have to love this moral equivalence. President Bush is not a true friend. Additionally, he is a very weak leader. Otherwise the U.S. would have vetoed this immoral Sec. Council Resolution which condemned Israel.

THEY ARE BOTH HYPOCRITS !. Orao.

That is why Israel should allow TZAHAL to do what the army feels is in Israel's best interest. No matter how restrained, ethical, and kind we are, the UN, the EU, the UK, the US Left, and the media will condemn us anyway. Ignore them and for once take care of Israel. We will never please them unless we are driven into the sea.

what did I say? In 3 posts in different articles I said, emphatically, that there is NO MEASURE which Israel can do, whereby the rest of the world will not condemn. Free prisoners, and Israel is condemned for arresting them in the first place. Give away land and Israel is condemned thrice. ONE for purchasing the land, TWO for settling there, THREE for evicting thier own people. No difference that it is trying to appease the criminals. Stop a terrorist from bombing a TA school, and Israel is condemned for racial profiling and persecuting pals. It makes no difference, the world is full of ignorance and hatred, no amount of Israeli restraint will count for anything. If we defend ourselves, we are commiting crimes against humanity for not laying down ourselves to die.

Foreign Office, November 2nd, 1917. Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country". I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours sincerely Arthur James Balfour

I think last time (Lebanon) it was the moron you chose as your minister of defense.

Maybe if your Zionist friends gave back stolen lands to the native arabs tather then giving them to russian or flasha jews, ended occuaption of Gaza, West bank, golan and sheeba farms bring down also the wall of hateded and dismentelling the settlments and getting into Israel those fanatic taliban settlers, then and only then we might give it a try and give me a break with the story of the holy land and holy chosen ones ...

The media also forgot about the occupation, the settlments, the wall of hatered, so don't feel victomized as you also have a big share in violation of humna rights.

You managed to kill 5 milion of them bt in the end and after losing 340.000 of your boys, you were kicked in the ass and did nothing. Do I understand that you want Tashal touse napalm, chimical wepons and why not the illgal nukes that Israel has, or do you simply want to drive the arabs in the sea ? poor yankee still drawaning in Afghanistan and Iraq (mission accomplished).

What Israel should have done was take down a Hamas government office or training camp or something to that effect for every single rocket or mortar lobbed into Israel, regardless of where it fell.

I keep reading your drivel here and I am amazed that you conveniently disregard the fact that your own country (Libya) was one of the greatest terrorist enablers and perpetrators. What put an end to Qaddafi's bloodthirst were a few American bombs skilfully dropped on his bedroom.

Heres a little food for thought to all my Jewish brothers and sisters. Would you call a black man nigger? Better yet and more to the point, would you call a black man a nigger, to his face. No. And why is that? Because blacks take that kind crap real personal, which I get. Its justifyably correct. However, when people say we are committing genocide and making a holocaust on the Palestinians, is anybody speaking up? WHAT GIVES ANY NON JEW THE RIGHT TO COMPARE SECURING OUR SAFETY AGAISNT TERRORISTS AND EXTREMISTS WHO HAVE BEEN FIRE ROCKETS AT US FOR 8 YEARS TO WHAT HAPPENED TO US IN EUROPE. The Holocaust was true attempted genocide. What we have to do to protect ourselves is not. Any NO JEW should stand by and let ANY non Jew ignorant racist EVER make that comparison, even use those words with getting bitch slapped in return. Not anywhere. Not in the streets, not in the press, not on TV. All Jews need to understand the reason why we are attacked verbal or physical is because we allow it & so I say to all you Jews, man up, get your heads straight be proud of what you are and what your people have survived and NEVER, EVER, accept racism. The Jews

leaders who have never wanted peace, have never wanted a state and never conceived of one for their people - other than as an instrument and as a hostage. The fact that the Israeli shells create so many victims does not mean that Israel is engaging in a deliberate "massacre," but that the leaders of Gaza have chosen to expose their populations, relying on the old tactic of the "human shield," - - while the Israelis protect themselves. No government in the world would tolerate having thousands of shells falling on its cities year after year. The most remarkable thing in the affair, the true surprise, is not Israel's "brutality", it is its restraint.

Fortunately, those of us who are pro-Israel can show our love of Israel without distorting the truth. We don’t need to play by the rules laid down by the Arab-favoring media, which distort the news and omit important items of information. Fortunately, we are not alone anymore. Voices in the Nederland and in the UK are getting everyday louder as expressed by Geert Wilder on the 11 MARCH 2008 in the Netherlands Parliament : http://xrl.us/bebfvs

The UN and Europe are willful and disingenous in their "ignorance" of the facts. They are as much an enemy of Israel and a threat to it's existence as the arabs.

entrusted Great Britain with the Mandate for Palestine. Recognizing "the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine," Great Britain was called upon to facilitate the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine-Eretz Israel (Land of Israel). Shortly afterwards, in September 1922, the League of Nations and Great Britain decided that the provisions for setting up a Jewish national home would not apply to the area east of the Jordan River, which constituted three-fourths of the territory included in the Mandate and which eventually became the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The Mandatory government did not succeed in maintaining the letter and spirit of the Mandate. Under Arab pressure, it withdrew from its commitment, especially with respect to immigration and land acquisition. The White Papers of 1930 and 1939 restricted immigration and acquisition of land by Jews. Later, immigration was limited by the 1930 and 1939 White Papers, and land acquisition by Jews was severely restricted by the 1940 Land Transfer Regulations. After the UN General Assembly adopted the resolution to partition Palestine on November 29, 1947, Britain announced the termination of its Mandate over Palestine, t o take effect on May 15, 1948. On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was proclaimed. HISTORY: The State of Israel http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Facts+About+Israel/History/HISTORY-+The+State+of+Israel.htm International Law makes a clear distinction between land "occupied" during a war of aggression - and land taken as a result of a defensive war. International jurists generally draw a distinction between situations of "aggressive conquest" and territorial disputes that arise after a war of self-defense. Former State Department Legal Advisor Stephen Schwebel, who later headed the International Court of Justice in the Hague, wrote in 1970 regarding Israel's case: "Where the prior holder of territory had seized that territory unlawfully, the state which subsequently takes that territory in the lawful exercise of self-defense has, against that prior holder, better title." GAZA: Is within the boundaries of Shevet Yehuda, the Scepter of Judah in Biblical Israel. (Joshua 15:20,47)
