31. The UK will be consumed by ISLAM very soon!
(04.02.10)
32. Brits more concerned in Israeli defensive action
Lioness ,   Israel   (04.02.10)
Brits not concerned when Israelis come under attack but when the poor Gazans recieve retaliation it is a different story. Well what goes round will come round soon the Brits will be defending themselves from Islamic terror.
33. British Hypocracy
Shulamit ,   Israel   (04.02.10)
British Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, expelled on circumstantial evidence,an Israeli for his country's alleged involvement in the use of 12 UK passports. Nobody was harmed except the Hamas mass-murderer. Britain has lost 15,000 passports and the government admitted to having failed to detect 10,000 false travel document applications of these, by way of example, it granted nine passports to Dhiren Barot, al Qauda's "UK General" who was convicted for planning mas murder in 2006
34. Britain concerned over Gaza escalation
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (04.02.10)
The British Government (if you can call it that) has just trumpeted the great news that they will create the largest marine reserve in the Chagos Islands in the Indian ocean. Never mind the thousands of islanders who were displaced decades ago to make way for an American base leased to them by the British, Where is the clamour for the Brits to repatriate the inhabitants to their original home, Oh no, it is more important that they perpetrate the lies of the so called displaced Arabs from Egypt and Jordan
35. What about your "Concern" about the Qassams?
Toni Blair   (04.02.10)
36. To Robert @ #13
Gabriel ,   Dallas, Tx, USA   (04.02.10)
Robert, Israelis are frustrated not hysterical. Time after time Hamas lobs rockets and Israel is not answering and uses only words to warn Hamas to stop. While this goes on no country or UN have anything to say. When Israel reacts militarily all of a sudden everybody wakes up and advise both parties to refrain from violence. Israelis do not think that Israel is violent when it answers, they think that is their right to defend themselves and the violent ones are Hamas who lob rockets unprovoked. Would like to know how would you feel in Brisbane if the Japane would lob every every day a few rocket onto your city?
37. Please Keep Bombing Us!!
Dr. Honey ,   Gaza   (04.02.10)
IDF, for your own safety, just keep bombing empty areas, because you know what happens if you get to come near Gazans on foot. We here laugh at you. Your F16 air raids are just a big loud show of your Incompetency ... Keep on.
38. Two-Faced British
RayS ,   USA   (04.02.10)
They forget how England responded to German air attack by slaughtering hundreds of thousands of German civilians. That was OK, but Israel's careful military response to Hamas (Gazan) terror attacks (with very few civilian casualties) is condemned. The Brits I fought alongside in Tunisia and Italy would not understand today's UK.
39. Britain gave you that land not God
Abdul ,   Luton   (04.02.10)
You should thank the British for Whom sowed the seeds for the creation of the state of isreal, google Balfour you ignorant people & wash your mouths with soap after you realize the truth.
40. UK elections
Neil Turner ,   Watford UK   (04.02.10)
Our current Labour Government is facing an uphill battle to get re-elected. There are a large number of marginal seats with Muslim majorities, so the government is doing all it it can to appease Please be assured that many in the UK support Israels right to self-defence
41. To #13 and the Utopians
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (04.02.10)
Gaza is a Egyptian invention all that land is part of Israel. Read the Bible. The Pals never wanted to negotiate. The only thing they want is 100% of the land, is this a joke dear Utopians ?
42. cmon
jb ,   lv,nv   (04.02.10)
All chill just smoke some
43. Its Electiontime in UK-Governmt needs every UK Muslim's vote
Alan ,   SA   (04.02.10)
44. But it's ok for Britain to kill children in Lashkah Gah.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (04.02.10)
my countrys hypocrisy is certainly reaching an all time high. I as a Brit urge Israel to carry on until the end of hamas and not before. The govt of Britain is boughtr and paid for bu the Saudis. We should be very concerned at what Blair has sold off that belongs to us.
45. #13 to focus efforts on negotiation
eli ,   Yerushalayim   (04.02.10)
Dear Robert, let me ask you why UK, US, UN and Europe not only " focus efforts on negotiation" with the Taliban in Afghanistan even if they don"t sent rockets to their contrys? Has you any idea? Hamas is even worse than Taliban. Try to understand this. They rule Gaza, they got it for free in 2005 as a goodwill gesture. If they really would try to use the money they get to improve their life - fine. But unfortunately they only buy weapons and teach their kids to hate. Those are the facts. What else do you expect from us? To enjoy their rockets?
46. Oh dear.....
Ram ,   London   (04.02.10)
the empire has gone, the treasury bullion hardly there, BA is on strike, the pound at an all time low, the economy behind that of the EU, the government has no credibility, London taken over by immigrants on welfare, the roads full of potholes, the weather total c*ap and they are worried about the welfare of Hamas instead of their Israeli victims. Who said there is a whiff of jew-hating in the air?
47. Their "concern"
Sagi   (04.02.10)
has really touched my heart.
48. Britain on its way to becoming a Muslim nation
JPS ,   Efrat   (04.02.10)
What's going to happen when the Muslims become the majority in the UK? It's not that far off. Will the Brit Muslims be empowered by democracy and the fact that they have freedom and liberty in the UK? Will elements in the UK Muslim community try to turn Englad into an Islamic state? We won't have long to wait to find out...
49. I still the British officers hit Jewish refugees at the port
Bat Sheva ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.02.10)
of Haifa. Their "crime", they left burning Europe and the corpses of their family members to seek a place of refuge in Israel, then under British Mandate. Thus, they were criminals from British perspective and as such were sent back to Europe and Cyprus on the same broken and overladed ships with they managed to escape Europe. How sad that civilized Britain has lost nothing of its disgust for Jews. How sad that even now, in the 21st century the Jews of Israel are being blamed by the British for protecting their lives and the lives of their family members. Have you, British people, no shame?!
50. Gilad Shalit! Kidnapped for almost 4 years by hamas ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (04.02.10)
why isn't the British foreign office concerned about the human rights violation by hamas on this sole case? Nobody has been allowed to see him. This should be a concern of the British foreign office. Miliband - i utterly despise you. You make me sin.
51. brits!
(04.02.10)
hey UK You will never know right?? You need another Al QAeda attack in London to let you know who your enemy is?? fuck you! Mossad gives you Intel that saves Uk Lives and still you pick on ISRAELI DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
52. #27 they are following example of US in Iraq and Afghanistan
Cynic ,   USA   (04.02.10)
53. UK = Hot Air = Nobody cares
shrinkDave ,   Miami USA   (04.02.10)
With Israeli economy booming, every major high tech company with offices there, the military rebuilt and stronger than ever, cultural events everywhere and a vibrant working class, who cares what the British think? The old mentality of the Jew as vulnerable is dead. Go mind your own store; people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
54. DrH-Gazans didnt laugh in Cast Lead1 and wont laugh in 2
(04.02.10)
55. The problem is that they don't want
To Robert from Austr ,   Israel   (04.02.10)
to recognise Israel right as a jewish state,so why should we recognise their rights?Besides,the Palestinians don't want the territories we offer them,but want to go back to their homes and lands as it was 60 years ago.Do you really think it makes sence?It almost like all jews in the world will demand to go back to their lands and homes where they were living,before Hitler and muslims around the world decided to destroy them and rip them from their homes.
56. don't be mistaken by their rockets
to Bob from USA ,   Israel   (04.02.10)
their rockets can be very dangerous and people in Israel did got killed by it.We are lucky that these rockets are not very accurate (only because it's hand made) and most of it fall in opened area.I wonder how would you feel if you and your children would wake up every few hours at night to the sound of a siren and you had only 30 seconds to run to a bomb shelter.Think about that next time you leave ignorant responce like that.
57. No problem,dear.Just remember,don't run to the media
Sofia ,   Israel   (04.02.10)
and show them your pathetic faces when it will be too painfull for yout to bear.
58. Solution....
Ram ,   London   (04.02.10)
To the US, EU and the UK dumbheads. Why don't you ask the morons ruling Gaza to stop the firing of Qassams at the Israelis and see if the Israelis attack Gaza? You may be surprised at the result! But there again, you probably know that. Is oil worth selling your souls for? Or you just can't stand the fact that the few Jews who are under constant attack in their tiny "UN recognised" country are outshining you in every field?
59.  don't be mistaken by their rockets
bob ,   usa   (04.02.10)
You have a bomb shelter unlike the people you are bombing. They don't have food, shelter or any of the other amenities you have bombed into the ground. Also you did not do anything to rebut the fact that they are de facto prisoners of Israel. You are doing awful things to them and somehow you justify it because 1 person every couple of months dies from a rocket. You have killed way more.
60. Britain boffins should butt out...they are hypocrits
Scott, Sunshine ,   Coast, Australia   (04.02.10)
We all know their calls for "restraint "are really only directed at the Israelis. You dont hear boo out from at any other time when their "friends" are lobbing rockets or murdering some Israeli, somewhere. And the absolute tripe that somehow all this would end if only the Jews would move out..say "move out" to where? "Green line? .Back to one of the neighbouring arab countries that kicked them out...maybe back to Europe where we see anti-semitism on the rise...but 6-7 million Israelis move out? that's the arabic wet dream ..the notion that somehow the land is "stolen" is highly contentious. In fact its bullshit. Arabs should after 60 years accept Israel.
