		<description>yes i agree the killing of innocent children can never be JUSTIFIED and its not only isreal even i and we are also responsible because we could not prevent this grave crime from happenning,but i  also strongly blame the hamas and the citizens of gaza for not protecting their kids ,they knew they will be vulnerable targets still unlike israel they never bothered to shift kids and old to safer locations out of gaza; israel warned them several days when the rocket attacks started before they had to retaliate ,\.
here we hav a greater problem than just hamas or hisbolla its  a global problem which is gooing to engulf the world in the next comming years ,what we are seeing now is just the tip of the ice berg and this should be stopped in a global way,i dont think smart gadgets is the the answer it will act only as a bandaid solution what we need is smart message and strong global rules the message should be sent by UN to every part of the world and it should behave as a global police in preventing such grave happenning.
its upto the civilians of gaza or any other soverign nation to see  that such irresponsible trigger does not initiate from their land and the world should help this people to have a more sensible democratic governance and all countries should learn to respect their neighbours if not &quot;love they neighbour &quot;only then people of this world with different religion and culture can coexist ,or else this world will be torn apart with many more wars in the comming years.
My tears are with the innocent mothers of gaza who were helpless in protecting their children .
At last thanks to leaders who has worked relentlessly to stop this disaster and also people like you also has played a  part towards the greater solution of peace. 
 HOPE PEACS AND BROTHERHOOD PREVAILS.</description>

		<description>Of course Hamas has to cease the rocket attacks, its the jets, tanks, missiles and naval barrages that are claiming the far greater destruction that any reasonable person decries. Like using a bazooka to kill a mosquito on your arm. I would expect the next wave of retaliation to create even more misery. How stupid and senseless or is that the purpose?, to create more terror and in so doing restrict our diminishing rights even more? Wake up people to the NEW WORLD ORDER!! Step right up and get your CHIP so they can track your movements!! Call me paranoid if you wish but please do some research at GlobalResearch.ca. Peace</description>

		<description>I have no answer to give to you, other than to say that harsh rhetoric and wishing for each others destruction only fuels our demise as human beings. Games are being played at levels we are only now perhaps understanding, humanity as a whole are parasitic in nature and we should end our voracious appetite for world domination. The sooner we can coexist with our planet and each other the happier our universe will be. As John Lennon once wrote Imagine. Love and hopefully Peace.</description>

		<description>The Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip represent severe and massive violations of international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Conventions, both in regard to the obligations of an Occupying Power and in the requirements of the laws of war

Even the most naive American voter cannot be expected to see the morally, legally and politically questionable death sentence given to Saddam Hussein a milestone in the Bush Administration&#039;s illegal war in Iraq. As the milestones pile up, so do the bodies. 

Those violations include: 
• Collective punishment: The entire 1.5 million people who live in the crowded Gaza Strip are being punished for the actions of a few militants. 

• Targeting civilians: The airstrikes were aimed at civilian areas in one of the most crowded stretches of land in the world, certainly the most densely populated area of the Middle East. 

• Disproportionate military response: The airstrikes have not only destroyed every police and security office of Gaza&#039;s elected government, but have killed and injured hundreds of civilians; at least one strike reportedly hit groups of students attempting to find transportation home from the university. 

Earlier Israeli actions, specifically the complete sealing off of entry and exit to and from the Gaza Strip, have led to severe shortages of medicine and fuel (as well as food), resulting in the inability of ambulances to respond to the injured, the inability of hospitals to adequately provide medicine or necessary equipment for the injured, and the inability of Gaza&#039;s besieged doctors and other medical workers to sufficiently treat the victims. 

Certainly the rocket attacks against civilian targets in Israel are unlawful. But that illegality does not give rise to any Israeli right, neither as the Occupying Power nor as a sovereign state, to violate international humanitarian law and commit war crimes or crimes against humanity in its response. I note that Israel&#039;s escalating military assaults have not made Israeli civilians safer; to the contrary, the one Israeli killed today after the upsurge of Israeli violence is the first in over a year. 

Israel has also ignored recent Hamas diplomatic initiatives to re-establish the truce or ceasefire since its expiration on 26 December. 

The Israeli airstrikes today, and the catastrophic human toll that they caused, challenge those countries that have been and remain complicit, either directly or indirectly, in Israel&#039;s violations of international law. That complicity includes those countries knowingly providing the military equipment including warplanes and missiles used in these illegal attacks, as well as those countries who have supported and participated in the siege of Gaza that itself has caused a humanitarian catastrophe. 

I remind all Member States of the United Nations that the UN continues to be bound to an independent obligation to protect any civilian population facing massive violations of international humanitarian law--regardless of what country may be responsible for those violations. I call on all Member States, as well as officials and every relevant organ of the United Nations system, to move on an emergency basis not only to condemn Israel&#039;s serious violations, but to develop new approaches to providing real protection for the Palestinian people.</description>

		<description>Shelling and bombing people into submission is barbaric. Ramming private boats with medical supplies only fuels hatred and condemnation. Has Israel taken advantage of the changeover of U.S. president? Will Israel be investigated for war crimes? Who will pay for the destruction of Gazan infrastructure? Who must pay??? Normally I disagree with the Vatican but their statement that Gaza resembles a concentration camp rings true. After what happened during WWII one expects that the oppressed not become the oppressor. Love and Peace</description>

		<description>Very good, where were they? At least not on the streets. That is my point as well. This bias only fuels more hatred.

But don&#039;t make it too easy. Do you really think that retaliation will destroy Hamas or will stop the deadly rockets? I think it is more likely that only violence will follow violence. If we accept that, and as well - as Ivan rightly pointed out - the bias of ridiculous UN missions, we can only conclude that realpolitik will never lead to a solution. But neither will blaming Barak or Hamas. I can really understand you my friends, but in such a complex situation like this, the question of guilt is insignificant! Don&#039;t you think? Please let me explain why:

1: 
Neither can any of the dominant political forces in Israel or Palestine find a suitable solution, nor any Western or Arab politician. 

2:
There are already projects in progress, which came only into existence by the cooperation of citizens from Israel and Gaza and West Bank alike. I remember I have heard of them, saw it on pictures and a friend of mine whose family lives in Israel confirmed it. This war is hindering the work of those guys, people who try to fight a war against the splitting of the two parties. 

This, at least for me, seems like a promising future project. Media is telling us a different story, one of hatred. Hatred that nobody will ever be able to overcome. For the sake of people fighting for a change, we should protest all around the world to stop that fight. To achieve that, we have to be careful not to blame any side and work together hand in hand.

People managed to break the Soviet Union, people managed to disempower Milosevic (and after that the West started the bombing) and people will be the only force that can destroy the ideology that is prevalent in Gaza and Israel. What do you think?</description>

		<description>Where on earth were these protesters all around the world for the past year?  The Palestinian (Hamas) were continuously firing rockets from Gaza at Israel.  Ironically, this was happening during a cease-fire period that Israel was obeing.  For these protesters, it is better to give (bombs) than it is to receive.  While on the subject, why didn&#039;t the UN placed sanctions against the Palestinians?  Frankly, Israel is merely retaliating against the true troublemakers.  Hamas, the real terrorists, is to blame for the collateral damage.</description>

		<description>I agree. The Killing must end, as should the oppression and flagrant disregard for basic human rights. 

Never in the history of the had the oppressor cried bloody murder while attacking the oppressed except in Palestine. Lands are confiscated in the name of divine right and no one speaks. Homes and families are evicted in the name of equality and no one speaks. People are killed by the dozens and no one speaks.

It&#039;s too late to stop the hatred, let&#039;s just try to stop the bloodshed.</description>

		<description>Yes the conversation should be one that doesn&#039;t raise the level of hate but work to construct a better understanding of the root causes of the conflicts. Once again an imeediate cease fire SHOULD BE ANNOUNCED. And the U.N peace keeping force shoud be moved in. Where is the resolution?

THE KILLING MUST END!</description>

		<description>Dear everybody,
I am happy to see so many people taking to the streets. But one thing keeps me busy thinking about: How do these activists plan to establish peace while many of them are mostly fueling hatred against Israel and the US? 

What I can see in the videos is a strong support for Palestine and mobilization against Israel and the US. But how come? They are beautiful areas with very nice people, among them strongly active peace activists. 

And we all should make efforts to unite, no matter where we are from. 

I would love to see Palestinian, US and Israeli and more flags marching side by side, demonstrating solidarity and a fight against an international political direction that intends to divide us. A peace movement must be strong enough to do so!

What really makes people suffering is not at all related to a country or ethnic group or anything like that. Bombs, terror, extremism and war happen or can happen anywhere at any time! That is what we should fight. In my opinion, as soon as we start hating a country or ethnic group, war and terrorism will receive support, no matter if we intend it or not. 

Please think about that, and if you like let&#039;s start a discussion about it. I am sure you have very interesting thoughts about it as well. 

All best, 
Daniel</description>
