So, exploding yourself on a bus, in a restaurant, a movie theatre, night club or near children waiting in line is not the deliberate murder of innocent women and children? If you think that you “saw hell,” then what does it look like just after a suicide bomber’s detonation? That too is hell. That too is “cold-blooded murder” of innocents.

The IDF is not perfect. But, they do not deliberately target innocent women and children. If such an accident happens, the offending soldiers are punished severely, according Israeli laws.

The height of cowardice is to strap on explosives and detonate them next to innocent women and children. That is deliberate genocide. Have you ever heard of a Jewish suicide bomber?

Zionsim will never die and Israel is here to stay. Almost every Jew in the world would die to protect our homeland. Jews lived in the place called Israel many, many centuries before the creation of the Muslim religion. It is the Jewish homeland. Jews never left Israel, although many were murdered and many more taken into slavery. But, it is, and will always be, the Jewish homeland.

When Israel was created, the nascent government begged the Arab population to remain as free and equal citizens. Those who remained now live good lives as Israeli citizens, with jobs, homes and a rewarding lifestyle. It’s too bad that those who fled live in squalor, but that is not Israel’s problem or cause.

Israel offered peace twice (Oslo and Camp David), but Arafat did not want it. Israel gave the Gaza back and in return got rocket attacks, snipers and suicide bombers. Israel backed away from Lebanon and in return got Hezbollah kidnappings, rockets and an invasion. So, which side wants peace and which side wants war?

I am for a two-state solution. But this cannot occur until the enemies of Israel agree to allow Israel to exist. The current charters of Hamas and Hezbollah call for Israel’s extermination. Which side wants peace? How can Israel negotiate when Hamas and Hezbollah desire nothing short of Israel’s destruction? Should Israel negotiate for half of its population to be destroyed? This is the root of the problem. Until Palestinians agree to allow Israel to exist, there can be no peace.

I am one of only a handful of Americans that have been on the ‘inside’ in Gaza with the intelligence community several years ago. and I have seen my share of horrors violence an death but the cowardice and cruelty of the IDF was unparralled. Defenseless children were shot like animals-homes destroyed crops ruined and worse. I have witnessed evil – but nothing like the sadistic cold-blooded mentality of the IDF. I have traveled over the world – was a Special Operations airborne commander before most of the readers here were born and i need no advice about i ‘ “just don’t understand the situation” Intel analysis IS my forte’ and I understand EXACTLY what the situation is. I have also spent time in IsraHELL and will NEVER forget the things I saw. I agree perhaps the boats should take much neded medical essentails- but more importantly -the witnesses need to tell the world what they saw there. The Israelis and in my Jew occupied country they have hidden the truth of their crimes for a long time. When the free world finally learns this – there will be literally – HELL TO PAY. One day the Jews will pick on somebody that can fight back instead of children women and sick elderly civilians. American Jews have made a morally rotted corpse out of MY beloved America and for that i can NEVER forgive them for this mega-crime. My heart is with the Palestinians and those brave souls who are fighting for freedom. I pray for the day when Zionism is dead and the WORLD may celebrate the death of the devil on earth.

I think the siege on Gaza should be solved; too many innocent civilians are suffering. HAMAS should do all it can to end it. And I believe they could almost immediately by meeting the three conditions: recognize Israel, denounce violence vs. Israel, and honor previous agreements between Israel and the Palestinians.

The boats floating to Gaza seem like nothing more then a publicity stunt that accomplished very little. Israel chose to do nothing, and the world’s press seems bored with it. Also the amount of supplies will do little to help.

We can only speculate, but I wonder if Egypt had actually been able to close Aqaba back in 1967, would they have allowed a couple of ships with Israeli flags thru if theyn knew it was carrying humanitarian aid? And I wonder if the Arab public would have supported letting the ships thru?

There is no such nation as “Palestine.” Palestinians are represented by terrorists, not diplomats. Gazans occupy land that Israel gave them, requesting nothing in return but peace. Instead, Israel gets rockets and suicide bombers – attacks not against the military, but against innocent civilians. Those who launch the rocket attacks against innocent Israeli women and children, then hide behind their own civilians, increasing collateral damage when Israel returns fire. Like cowards, they would rather their own people die than stand out in the open and fight Israel’s military. And this deserves what in return? Respect? Right of return? In 1948, Israel begged Arabs to stay as free and equal citizens. Many did and have happy, fulfilling lives today as Israeli citizens. It’s not Israel’s fault that others fled and live in squalor. Israel desires peace. Palestinians desire the destruction of Israel and all Jews dead. Finally, it is not an “occupation.” Jews lived in the land called Israel almost two thousand years before the Muslim religion was created. Romans called Jews “Philistines.” Thus, Jews have a longer and more significant ownership of the land called Israel. After the Holocaust, there must be one safe place in the world for Jews. It might as well be their first, best homeland – the land that Jews occupied centuries before there were Muslims and Palestinians.
