		<description>http://blackinventionmyths.wordpress.com/2009/02/16/zionist-war-crimes-genocide-in-palestine/

The &quot;Jews&quot; as you put it are actually Zionist Jews, they are fighting for the &quot;Jewish cause&quot; which came about in the last century. The link is to a video providing some history.

After you watch it you will understand why Arabs should hate Zionist Israeli Jews, and why we all should dislike this fact that they are allowed to do such genocide and get away with it.

To a Muslim, life is a test for every human being. I wonder when see all these atrocities why am I allowed to live safe and sound while others have to suffer so harshly. What have they done to deserve such a harsh test of life.

There a lots of videos linking Israel to many things to do with war, violence, hate towards Arabs. Googlevideo has a lot of free material exposing truth  against these Israeli Zionists, Youtube has loads. Type in google: Anti-Neocons. It shud be the 1st link. Tpye in google video Freedom to fascism. The 1 I most envy is http://www.911missinglinks.com/ - This is I appreciated most because I was led to believe that Al-Quaeda actually did it by the Zionist controlled Media.

4% of US population are Zionist Jews (or Israeli Lobbyists) That 4% Influence the other 96% that war without justification is OK through the use of Media and governmental positions in which they hold. American moneymakers are Jewish. I used to wonder where they get their funding from, now I know its through that 4% that Israel gets aid for the &quot;Jewish Cause&quot; and the same 4% rule most of the Government positions. The American High supreme (the very top) court is also Jewish (Zionist)

I say Zionist because there are money Jews against the ideas of a Zionist, but these Jews are silenced by the media. In Israel, people who drop out from the Army (they have the highest rate) are tortured, locked up and called traitors.

Thanks for not looking to TV news media for your guidance.

		<description>Palestine is not at fault.
The media is wack.
How do you expect innocent ppl to react when theyre seiged?
Even w out fancy weapons, Isreal has always caused for Palestinians to die and suffer.

Hammas is not a terrorist group. Just like Isreal claims theyre defending their ppl, well Palestine isint only defending their ppl but trying to get their land back.
The land they once had, before 1948 when Isreal came into the picture.

They have just been violating international laws, and massacring Palestinians. For you to say that Palestinians want Isreal to get wiped off the map isint entirely true. They just dont want them in that specific part of the map, cause thats where Palestine belongs.

If you are smart you will understand that Palestinians just want their land back. For ex; when Isreal left Gaza in 2005, that was a start they were happy. But damn, Isreal keeps on occupying. Causing blockades, allowing nothing in or out. Thats flat out wrong. and this is what ppl dont understand. The second they closed the borders, (borders there are not suppose to be controlling) thats when the ceasefire ended right there.

How else do you expect the Palestinians to react. You are controlling their lives. 
They deserve freedom, rights, food water electricity.

This is terrible, when ppl even try to defend Isreal&#039;s actions; it outrages me because how can you? Theres no exuse. Oh &quot;Hammas&quot;? Spare me. Spare me. Spare me. Maybe the americans and Isreal believe that and fall for it, but hundreds of thousands of ppl, white, black, arab and even jew, are protesting. 

Free Palestine once and for all, dont listen to the mediam they love to remix facts.</description>

		<description>To say that Palestine broke the ceasefire is a lie because cmon, whose the one that caused the blockade. What Isreal is doing right now is not against hammas, but rather against palestine because if it were in fact against hammas, why is it that so many civilians are now dead?</description>

It is said truth is the first casualty of war. It is rather the first casualty of inhumanity. You have to lie, maybe to yourself as well, when your are engaged in inhumanity. You wouldn’t have to lie about a war that really was right.

By Zionism I mean the founding and actually necessary defence of the state of Israel in roughly its 1948 boundaries. It was justified by the Holocaust in the past and is justified by the existence of a Jewish homeland now. By neo-Zionism I mean the taking from the suffering Palestinians, the only indigenous people of historic Palestine, at least their autonomy in the last fifth of their homeland.

A decent humanity, the Principle of Humanity, ultimately justifies Zionism. It condemns neo-Zionism absolutely. There aren’t two sides to the story of a real rape.

The neo-Zionist government of Israel says that in attacking the democracy of Gaza it is doing no more than engaging in self-defence. It is saving lives of its own citizens from rocket attacks. 

That is not its aim. If that were its aim, Israel would achieve it immediately by embracing the solution to the Palestinian problem, in no way complex. It would give up neo-Zionism. It would withdraw, without negotiation, from the remaining homeland of another people. 

The preponderant aim of neo-Zionism in Gaza now is neo-Zionism. It is that vicious selfishness. It is that semitism on a level with anti-semitism and now beginning to be comparable in effects. The state of Israel has no moral right to pursue its preponderant aim in Gaza. 

That is not quite all. In its neo-Zionism, Israel has no moral right to defend itself against the rockets used against it. Whatever the instincts of human nature, it has no more right to defend itself against them than Hitler Germany had a right to defend itself and its death camps.

What Israel is engaged in is not even war. For a war, in the connotation of the term that is necessary, including necessary for propaganda, you need two sides comparable in power. What is happening in Gaza now is something else.

It is the Palestinians who have had, and now have, a moral right to their terrorism, their justified self-defence against neo-Zionism, in all of historic Palestine. The argument for that proposition, partly on the basis of the Principle of Humanity, is now easier.</description>

		<description>To say that Hamas broke the ceasefire is simply an outright lie and a flagrant distortion of the truth. Many months ago there was a debate about the Israeli blockade of Gaza on “Global Voices” and our friends from Israel were nowhere to be seen.
Israel is a nuclear power and the military super-power in the region. Also, Israel is the 6th undeclared permanent member of the United Nations. The Israeli use of sophisticated weapons against occupied civilian highly populated urban concentrations is nothing but a war crime. After the strangulation of the Palestinian population for many years, and starving them, these glorified fireworks were a scream for help. The cynical Israeli response was to open the crosses for 2 days then unleash these coward barbaric attacks on people that cannot respond with anything but these very inaccurate primitive home-made fire-crackers. Whereas western media reports these events as a response to Palestinian rocket attacks, they fail to highlight the plight of the Palestinian people and represent the sequence of events leading to these desperate rocket attacks. Also, the use of words like “missiles” is not only misleading but seems to me a misrepresentation of the inexistent treat they truly represent. This is propaganda at its best. The situation is created by Israel not just responding to it and if the Israelis wanted peace as they claim the solution is very simple. The destruction of Gaza has nothing to do with Hamas. Israel will accept no authority in the Palestinian territories that it does not ultimately control. Any individual, leader, faction or movement that fails to accede to Israel’s demands or that seeks genuine sovereignty and the equality of all nations in the region; any government or popular movement that demands the applicability of international humanitarian law and of the universal declaration of human rights for its own people will be unacceptable for the Jewish State. It is that simple. This Israeli ethnocratic theocracy with Universal Suffrage will stop at nothing to realise their biblical aspirations of full land judaisation dreams and the total inhalation of any real Palestinian authority. The question that remains is what will Israel deem necessary to eradicate a militarily inexistent treat?!!</description>

		<description>I am:agnostic, white, 61 yrs old, married, 3 sons, against war of almost all kinds, Vietnam Vet. medic, and nurse. I believe the holocaust is real, I believe Hamas and other Muslim factions hate and want to see the Jewish state wiped off the face of the earth. I believe that the majority of Palestiniens are normal hard working people, who want only to raise their families and enjoy peace again. The american press only says that Israel only responds because of the Hamas rockets. No one seems to question whether Israel is doing anything to provoke these attacks. My question is , is the american press reporting the truth, what they know as the truth or is it propaganda. Don&#039;t get me wrong, I think the Jews have every right to defend themselves, especially since they are surrounded by potential enemies. However, are they doing hedious things behind the scenes, and if so , are the things justified?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am:agnostic, white, 61 yrs old, married, 3 sons, against war of almost all kinds, Vietnam Vet. medic, and nurse. I believe the holocaust is real, I believe Hamas and other Muslim factions hate and want to see the Jewish state wiped off the face of the earth. I believe that the majority of Palestiniens are normal hard working people, who want only to raise their families and enjoy peace again. The american press only says that Israel only responds because of the Hamas rockets. No one seems to question whether Israel is doing anything to provoke these attacks. My question is , is the american press reporting the truth, what they know as the truth or is it propaganda. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I think the Jews have every right to defend themselves, especially since they are surrounded by potential enemies. However, are they doing hedious things behind the scenes, and if so , are the things justified?                  </p>
