M ,   UK   (03.01.09)
Isreal never bothered for the life of civilian and the main reason for not replying to the rockets is that official tried force with no successfull results. peace will not happen without giving the plaestinian their rights. ie their land all palestine. jews can go back to europe if they want or live in palestine.
2. KASSEMS CAN KILL MANY JEWS ,IF NO RESPONSE

3. For this reason, Hamas may be hoping to never release him
5th generation ,   Israel   (03.01.09)
That is why tying his release to the seige is as brilliant a solution as is possible in this situation. The challenge comes in compensating our own martyrs in the Negev.

9. It is persian, Jarusalem means Shar-u salem
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (03.02.09)
Shar means citiy in Persian, current Iranian, Therefore You have no historical right over palestine, a city of Persian name explain everything. So sit there with respect to others, even if everything in religious books were correct(I mean claims by clegerman) God does not issue any CHECQUE BLANK to any nation, you refused hundreds years ago everything left Middleast because of commercial reasons nobody throw you out. You lost your chance after two Prophet, (Isa) Chirst of Chirstianity and Muhhamed of Islam were sent.
10. Lesson in ME history
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (03.03.09)
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem - Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam. 2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel. 3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years. 4. Arabs have only had control of Israel twice - from 634 until the Crusader invasion in June 1099, and from 1292 until the year 1517 when they were dispelled by the Turks in their conquest. 5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit. 6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran. There are vague references to Jerusalem in the Hadiths - stories about Mohammed - that he stopped his night journey (which the Koran explains took place in a dream!) at the "farther mosque" (or "distant place"). Muslims explain that this means "at the edge of the Temple mount", although no direct reference to Jerusalem or the Temple Mount is made. 7. King David established the city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem. 8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Some Muslims (i.e. those between Israel and Saudi Arabia) pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
