the whole world understand that Israel's reaction in Gaza was because of the murderous Hamas government that they had chosen.

Hamas 'regrets' civilian deaths, Israel unmoved Report issued by committee set up by Islamist group to examine UN allegations of war crimes says, 'We hope the Israeli civilians understand that their government's continued attacks on us were the key issue.' Foreign Ministry: Who are they trying to fool now? EXACTLY !!! .' Foreign Ministry: Who are they trying to fool now? OBVIOUSLY THE UN AND WORLD OPINION BELOW - Both sides presented documents to the United Nations in recent days which they say showed they had conducted suitable investigations. In a message on Thursday to the General Assembly, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon withheld judgment on whether either party had met Goldstone's recommendations. THIS JERK THINKS HE AND THE UN ARE THE AUTHORITY OF THE WORLD IN THOSE MATTERS. UN member states "will consult on the further course of action," General Assembly spokesman Jean Victor Nkolo said. GO ITO MENS ROM AND CONSULT WITH YOUR BACKS. Rights group Amnesty International called Ban's message "deeply disappointing." NEXT JERK !!. "Amnesty International believes that the information (Ban) had received was sufficient to show clearly that the steps taken by both sides have been completely inadequate," it said in a statement. THINK THEY ARE THE AUTHORITY AND LEADERS IN THE WORLD, REGARDING THE SAME MATTERS AS BOVE. Arn.

We also hope that the whole world understand that we also regret what Haganah, Irgun, Lehi & Stern did.

Gaza and beyond were brought to trial and pay for the thousands they have murdered, for many years, and the many more they maimed. Does the international community have the guts to take such a step by way of cleansing society from such elements...?? What a cynical world...!!

missing a great opportunity. They should be in the circus.

firing intentionally thousands of rockest on Sderot , not a military target as far as known to everyone . Sending suicide bombers to murder bus passengers , showing and calling them "heroes" and "martyrs" . Those murdered bus passengers also military targets ? Are they themselve believing those lies ? Who will believe it ?

else Israel's reaction in Gaza. If Hamas justifies the murder of innocent Israeli citizens the way it does - it justifies - and the whole world should - the killing of any person in Gaza who voted for Hamas. I think that Israel should attack Gaza and refrain from withdrawing its forces until the total liquidation of Hamas and the return of Gilad Shalit is accomplished. by hamas is legitimate due to Hamas' dislike of the Israeli government -

because so many moves like this from the Israeli side made those moves priceless. That makes great difference.

is that the Gazans and the whole world understand that Operation Cast Lead was the result of seven years of rocket attacks (at least 8000) deliberately targeting Israel's civilian population in general, and the massive barrage of rockets after Hamas unilaterally ended the six-month lull in the fighting in particular. But since Hamas has complete control over what the Gazans think, and a well-oiled, fully functioning, Iran-funded propaganda machine which extends from Siberia to the Falklands, and since the last thing the whole world wants to do is admit, even for a few minutes, that anything Israel does might be ever so slightly justified, the chances of that happening are very, very slim.

Hamas claims "It may target a military site or a tank position and their fire goes astray" Are all of their suicide bombers blind, or can't they tell the difference between a pizza parlor full of kids and a military site?

that's like the pope apologizing for being catholic, meaning this 'apology' is not to be believed unless there is a change in actions (which will never, ever happen).

Semantics is wonderful. To Hamas there are no innocent civilians in Israel - they have all served in the military, or support the military in some way, therefore they are legitimate targets. Of course they can say that they regret civilian deaths...... How the world is blind and deaf.

8 years of rocket attacks, not 7.

This is the only thing we can see at the moment as long as the prutal occupation is surrounding us with its devesation & destruction. Until we see hope waving in the horizon carrying honor & degnity to all Palestinian, we will keep those green flag along with Palestine flag waving and any other legitimate means as well that makes the dream of freedom to come true. Resisting occupation by all means is legitimate

Come on folks, what do you think? That this calls for immediate discussion? Hamas are liars. We all know that. It's part of their strategy. It most certainly is part of their religion to attack Jewish women and children. Not only is Hamas lying, but they make themselves look stupid by doing so. Ok, maybe just totally evil and not so stupid, since so many gullible westerners believe their crap. And don't think that Hamas are the only liars. So are Fatah, almost to the core. They say in English they support a 2-state solution, but all their Arabic statements and their own policy papers call for war and the eradication of Israel. And the western press is certainly complicit in the Palestinian propaganda campaign. The headline for this story should be "Hamas lies again saying they don't target civilians".

as nothing but liars but probably the world will believe them.

claim that they DID NOT INTEND TO HARM OR KILL ISRAELI CIVILIANS..... when they in fact not only aimed at innocent civilians, but, USED THEIR OWN INNOCENT PEOPLE AS HUMAN SHEILDS DURING THE WAR AND EVEN PRIOR TO THIS WAR BY CALLING EVERYONE TO COME ON ROOF TOP OF HOMES ISRAEL INTENDED TO BOMB BECAUSE TERRORISTS LIVED THERE? how can hams claim to protect even its citizens while they used little boys age 14-17 to carry their weapons during the gaza war, to insinuate themaselves in civikian homes and mosques so that the general public can protect the hamas operatives with thewir own innocent bodies?

If any type of resistance is legitimate, then the Israeli response (war in gaza, killings) is legitimate. what's the difference? both sides need to stop violence and find solutions.

At least the IDF, the most moral army in the entire world, has issued individual apologies and offered compensation for each and every one of the many thousands of Palestinian civilians which they have either killed or maimed.

H aniyeh , A lqaeda , M uhammad , A nd , S ayyid qutb. Yeak...! -- I don't know why we're making such a fuss concerning the apology. It's origin?, koranic scriptures ; lies, lies. and more lies ; the only bond available with civilized society. As usual, those idiots notified the UN (they make a good pair) that their written words aren't worth the paper it's written on. So rockets are back in (including the new mines), and recognition is out. The EU, the US, the UN, and all the other agencies can continue sending them the $ billions required to perfect their new weapon and enlarge their navy....! Ban Ki is a jerk; Amnesty is a jerk?, but you Mr Arn #2 from Sweden, are way above them. You can proceed into the men's room and do your back consultations there.

Israel pulled out from Gaza abandoning its villages and green houses to the benefit of the people of Gaza. Israel welcomed the Turkish offer to build an industrial infrastructure In Gaza so that the people of Gaza could prosper by their own means. However Hamas did not take on this offer. Instead Hamas decided to oppress the people of Gaza and waged war against Israel by launching rockets on civilians killing Dorit Benisian and Yuval Abebeh and kidnapping soldiers like Gilad Shalit. When Palestinians decide to live in peace side by side with Istrael then there will be peace.

World accepts Hamas cold blooded murders.

Apologies to Author Segal

Occupation definition: the action, state or period of occupying or being occupied by military force. Now, Israel, with the exception, of course, of Gilad Shalit, has no presence in Gaza. I have news for you, Philistine, Hamas is occupying the Gaza Strip. Hamas is making your life miserable, Hamas has devastated and destroyed the Gaza Strip. Take a really good look around you and tell me exactly how many occupying Israelis you see. Just to go the window and take a look, are those armed men wearing kafiyas Israelis? I don't think so. The next time you see an armored vehicle, check the inhabitants, see what language they're speaking. Is it Hebrew? I don't think so. The Gaza Strip is occupied all right, but the military presence isn't Israeli. You want freedom? Freedom from what? You are as free as you are ever going to be, unless you want the freedom to travel, to work, to get good medical attention, to ensure your children have a decent future. Those you will have when you are free of Hamas. Hint: tell your child's kindergarten teacher that teaching him how to use a rifle to kill Jews is counter productive.

is that the AP and Reuters actually printed this. What next? The admission that Arafat died of AIDs?

Israel should indiscriminately fire a missile into the gaza territory. wherever it lands, whatever the consequences oh well. two or three retaliatory actions like this and the rockets and suicide bombings will cease. massive, indescrimintately fired missiles. of course they aren't sorry for targeting civilians-that is their goal. been pussyfooting around too long. drop the hammer!
