Honestly, do you think that the world is stupid. Well, i sure is hell am not because i see this clear; Isreal is wrong for doing this to the Palestinians. This belongs to them- if they elected Hammas, let Hammas lead their own ppl the way they want to, theyve elected them. What you think you are doing them a favor by trying to destroy Hammas, when actually, youre destroying them. Or trying too. Cause Isreal is not. Because from what ive seen in the past, Palestinians are strong human beeings who believe in their country, who will stop at nothing in order to get their country back. They will resist. and resist. and keep on resisting until the last drop of blood. I support Palestine one hundred percent. I hope Isreal backs off once and for all. Peace out.

Where in the world do Muslims live at peace with people of other religions (India, China, Russia, the west)? Who elected the terrorist group Hamas to lead the people of Gaza and after the last few years how has their leadership helped their people? Why is it acceptable for Hamas (the elected government of the people of Gaza) to shoot rockets into Israeli cities and why is it wrong for Israel to respond with force?? As an outsider spending a few years working in the Middle East I have always found it funny that most Muslims complain about people not respecting their religion and way of life but are the least respecting of others. I have witnessed many Muslims who actively and passively accept suicide bombings, beheadings, honor killings and acts of terrorism as a part of their culture. Maybe the people of Gaza should renounce terrorism and stop blaming Israel and the West and start accepting some responsibility for the turmoil, poverty, and lack of progress which plagues them? I also find it funny that most of these blogs don’t really originate from the Middle East but from western countries who support the ideals of freedom of speech, equality, and democracy – seems like a strange coincidence???

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?!! @Freddy Lejeune

Secondly, the jewish settlers have patently lead to a destortion within israel, however the extremist group FATTAH were determined to control the west bank after the war which therefore lead to the separation of Israel and Palestine, the best solution to this problem is that since Israel are in the controlling position, it is essential for them to make peace, however this idea is obsolete, as the other extremist movement HAMAS, believe that they could provoke the israelis better than FATTAH and have now began influencing youngsters to die in order to kill Israelis, this movement, is made to destroy israel, these pugnacious views could therefore be from the oppression that the palistinians suffer. In order for this violence to end, these extremist groups have to come as one, in order for Israel to open out the han in peace, all nations should come together and congeal as one nation.
