31. #25 Jews don't believe in hell to swear in
observer   (07.06.10)
32. O come on, what do you expect them to say?
Jo   (07.06.10)
How about we were spies out to bait soldiers to their deaths with ambushes and such but the soldiers caught on. What do you honestly expect these people to say??? I accuse, I accuse, I accuse. Evidence is their word alone and coming from that alone makes it suspect. Do none of you not remember Jenin and the stupid claims shouted to the hill tops that were found to be real gross lies? Many "fighters" in Gaza dressed in civilian clothes and were caught. Not innocent by all means.
33. Do you know why I feel ashamed?!
Salma ,   Palestine   (07.06.10)
Because we as Palestinians to this day, are incapable of making victory over our cowardly enemy ! sure the reason is us,this is bad and good at the same time!
34. War
Mark ,   Jerusalem   (07.06.10)
Let me get my handkerchief out while I blow my nose. So I suppose Israel are not being used as human shields when the rockets come over from Gaza and hit Israeli towns. I guess the British would never do such a thing or the Americans if they were ever in the same situation.
35. you all responded on A Iraely news paper!
OferThe mighty ,   Tel Aviv   (07.06.10)
To all anty Israeli reponds... please try to respond on a palestinian news paper or web site, ohh you can`t why because in A democratic country they let you guys responed even if this is against this country`s majority views. please try the Gaza "Democraci". let see how far you will get. there is no Human armi in the world. Not one!!! please give me one proof of total humanity, or even just 50% humanity, you what? i`ll let you have 10%. didn`t find any? I wonder why.... :D
36. I have no doubt
The Last Zionist ,   Eilat   (07.06.10)
They were used as human shields by Hamas.

dr daniel mostrel ,   paris   (07.06.10)
and you still dare to speak about a peaceful flottilla wake up it is boring to hear you you have nothing to say
38. How about Sderot?
David   (07.06.10)
As usual Pestiniants are always wining about something. How about citizens of Sderot being used not as shields but as rocket targets?
39.  no proof
der daniel mostrel ,   paris   (07.06.10)
no proof just" testimonies" better to have our soldiers safe back home hamas is not an army in uniform booby traps and using civilian buildings to fight is not fair

hebrew prophet ,   israel   (07.06.10)
Agree with you 100% Brian about the leftist whingeing etc. but why is the Muslim butcher of Sudan Omar al-Bashir still free to rule his feifdom with his ragtag Janjaweed militia of Muslim perverts and rapists ,even after an international arrest warrant was imposed on the Muslim killers of Darfur (Sudan),the same thugs are still running the show even after the shambolic Muslim style attempt at free and fair elections in Sudan,how hypocritical of the leftist/ looneys ?

hebrew prophet ,   israel   (07.06.10)
Blinded or blindfolded ,two different meanings/issues,so which one are yoy referring to as English isn,t your first language ,in French speaking Quebec ?
42. no 1
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (07.06.10)
Hey Matty Groves before you lecture others ,you need to look at your Palestinian brothers behaviour during operation cast lead,mainly the bombing of civilian residences in Ashdod and Sderot which started the whole conflict ,there,s simply no excuse whatsoever for sending thousands of Qassams and other crude but deadly projectiles into residential areas for more than eight years ,so go lecture Nasrallah on al-Manara and you,ll soon get what you deserve,inshallah?
43. no 3
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (07.06.10)
The so called credit card debacle is just a figment of your,s and other propagandists imagination,Singer ?

hebrew prophet ,   israel   (07.06.10)
German and Serbian international law violators were prosecuted but not the M uslim butcher of Sudan and his ragtag Janjaweed militia of Muslim perverts and rapists ,care to comment hypocrite Doug in Rochester ?
45. no 34
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (07.06.10)
Excellent stuff Mark ,so is Palestinian Salma ashamed of eight years and thousands of Qassams on Ashdod and Sderot ,civilian towns ,what do you think ,i say no as she,s to brainwashed and cowardly to admit ,yes?
46. palis are inconsistent...
Arrow   (07.06.10)
How come they don't cry in front of international community when they are used as living shield by hamas. After WWll France and other countries forced germans to clean mine fields, sorry but that looked like fair game to me. Germans did enough evil, so it was the small price to pay. So what those palis want?! Justice?! When they learn to act like humans, then they will be treated accordingly.
47. #33 You should feel ashamed.
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (07.06.10)
Because you will never defeat the enemy even with tanks, helicopters, and advanced missles. Cowardly or not, they will always dominate you and that hurts my selective narrative on the Middle East conflict. Shame on you for making me look foolish.
48. #46 - What came first, the chicken or the egg?
lara ,   Australia   (07.06.10)
Maybe if they are treated like humans they will act like it? Millions of Palestinians live peacefully world wide. They even lived peacefully in their own country before the occupation. Perhaps it is not them that is the problem but the occupation. Truth of the matter is, if you call someone a terrorist, treat someone like a terrorist, and punish them like a terrorist, why wouldn't they just become one? If you're going to suffer a punishment for something you have not done, you may as well do it.
49. Exposing Matty's (#1) hypocrisy
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (07.06.10)
Every time there is a news piece here which puts Arabs in a negative light, such as - their media inciting for murder and martyrdom, or Arab youths stoning a Jewish band in Germany - you issue a condemnation for BOTH sides. "This is a despicable act, just as it is equally despicable when the Israelis..." However when we have a news piece which alleges something negative about Israel / the IDF, of course you condemn ONLY Israel / the IDF, and always in the nastiest and most derogaratory terms (often without any proof of wrongdoing). Your comment here (#1) is a classic example. As it is no secret that Hamas (and other Arab terrorists such as Hizbullah) themselves have mastered the usage of human shields to perfection (with ample undisputable evidence) - your response should have been consistent with the same even-handed format: "If this is true, then the IDF acts immorally and cowardly, just as the Hamas fighters act immorally and cowardly when they hide and shoot from behind human shields of their own people, in school and mosques". But as expected, of course you put the blame squarely and exclusively on the IDF in this case. The fact that you switch between the two approaches of condemnation according to when it suits you - provides a definitive, undeniable proof of your extreme anti-Israel bias and complete lack of neutrality. Your posts literally define the terms "double standard" and "hypocrisy".
50. lara , 48 , down unther !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.06.10)
We see what living upside down has effects on you : No normal ideas . They , the Palestinians have , from the beginning , murdered Jews , The first one was in 1886 . A peacefull guy who was murdered by people who did'nt even know him , not by someone living near to him . Not treated as humans ? when they enjoy the same rights as Israelis ? Yes , we have to take measures , because we only want to defend ourselve . We abandonned Gaza , they demolished everything , even things they could make a living from . If it's that that you call "not treated as humans" , then you are right . Why do you think that extremist parties in Europe have succes ? Why do older people there say that they are fearing them ?
51. 47 , Matty , you don't look foolish , you ARE
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.06.10)
And Salme can be ashamed for her people who missed every occasion to live in peace . And this beginning by refusing the partition plan from 1947 .
52. I am also Michael Hess and BBS News ...
Matty Groves   (07.06.10)
In case you haven't figured it out yet
53. Hamasians use themselves as human shield for Shalit
observer   (07.06.10)
