1. E.U. And "massacre"
Paul ,   Scottsdale, USA   (08.06.14)
The E.U. Has a double standard when it comes to Israel, and so what. Within a few weeks when the war is off the front pages the E.U. Will be back to business as usual. Syria, Iraq and Russia or whatever "big story" will be on the front page. Israel will no longer dominate the news. The Gazans will lick their wounds and everybody will forget for the time being. Israel did what it had to do, Israel won Hamas lost. Behind closed doors the E.U. Leaders and many Arab leaders will breathe a sigh of relief and toast Israel for its victory.
2. root of the problem
ishamel   (08.06.14)
because israel has and still is a country dependent on international tourism, and american resupply whehter oil and arms, israeli leaders have been reluctant to tell US presidents to shove their advice up their assess. Bibi would have liked to but he is weak minded and unable to say no. olmert and livni dare not offend US presidents, that is their whole being, peres is a US asskisser, and so on. Until israel pm can say no to eu and america come what may, israel will be hounded by US and EU( the continent of cowards france, belgium in particular). Obama's whole thinking is to coop the brotherhood democratically which in theory makes sense but in practise does not work. They are a lying crooked islamic mafia who have their population by the cahunas. Morsi would have taken egypt into a massive war with israel with a million casualites so egypt dodged a bullet.
3. Covenant of Peace
Yoelarry ,   New York City   (08.06.14)
Imagine a Husband who allows his enemy, an imposter, to sleep in the bed of his wife... The imposter, naturally, has nothing but added contempt for this weak, feckless man and has no doubt that in a short matter of time the husband will pack his bags and leave the house. Meanwhile, the neighbors look upon this spineless husband with incredulity and disdain, wondering if this weak man really is the husband or perhaps an interloper himself! The above scenario illustrates the dynamic underlying the conflict that the Husband, Israel, has been afflicted with for the last 65 years since modern Jewish Statehood and the incomprehensible refusal of their government to declare and exercise control and possession of their G-d given Bride, Temple Mount. The solution to the woes of the Husband are obvious to anyone who has not been deceived by the false distractions, excuses, and accusations of the enemy and the neighbors, those being the issues regarding the Palestinian Arabs. Only when the Husband stands up, first declaring himself to be the rightful and sole Husband of this Bride and then begins taking steps to remove the imposter, the golden Al Aksa 'victory' mosque, from the bedroom will the imposter and the neighbors begin to finally respect the Husband and take seriously his marital relationship with his Bride. This is the natural solution to the conflict and the key to the long term security and viability of the Jewish State. Yoel Larry Kosberg Yoelarry
4. How many civilians killed by US drones aimed at terrorists?
Sam ,   Canada   (08.06.14)
The US and NATO countries are playing "holier than thou" with Israel. Their military missions are full of collateral damage and they are not defending themselves on home territory but far away.
5. Add "liberal Jews" eager to earn brownies for attacking Isr
ab   (08.06.14)
-ael. They serve as an excuse "we're not anti-Semites" ,despite it ultimately would it these liberal Jews" when excuses aren't necessary anymore
6. "West" won't be West that much longer. It'll be South-East..
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.06.14)
7. there were no "massacres"
CJK   (08.06.14)
the civilian losses amount to less than eight hundred people. hamas and islamic jihad lost a thousand terrorists. the ratio of military to civilians is less than 1:1. had there been a massacre in gaza, at least ten thousand would have lost their lives.
8. to 7
friend ,   west   (08.07.14)
god say - if you kill one person as if you kill all the people - second you are not a kind friend if you put your bad example on my table .. yes it is my table
9. #8 what he says
(08.08.14)
The worse criminals were the servants of Moloch who sacrificed their own children on the altars. The modern day servants of Moloch are your friends from Hamas who love death more than you love life. He says there is only one way to deal with the servants of Moloch, and do you know why? Because when we eradicate them, we will save lives.
10. NATO and Israel
Moshe ,   Israel   (08.08.14)
The Romans had a proverb – "What is allowed to Upiter, is not allowed to a bull". And this is probably one of the implicit messages the EU sends to Israel whenever it defends itself.
11. 8
CJK   (08.08.14)
you are talking of murder. i am talking of war. g-d said that if someone comes to kill you, you must kill him first. that is the logic of self defence.
12. to 11
8 ,   jerusalem   (08.09.14)
in ww1 and ww2 many people were killed but germany lost the war this is about wars and killing so you can escape the killing of the other but you can not escape your death by the othersso your statment to kill before you will be killed is a false faith .
