The bearded bastards who are Hamas or Hezbollah or whatever gibberish names they call themselves are to be regarded as saints? If you people really want to live in peace, take a page out of Mahatma Ghandi's book: non-violence. Unfortunately, such enlightenment or change of strategy is utterly beyond your diminished capacities. Such action does not have the same "bravado" of the current methods that you currently employ, i.e. rocket barages from PALESTINIAN TERRITORY into Israel, suicide bombers sent from PALESTINIAN TERRITORY into Israel to blow themselves and Israelis up. Someone had mentioned that hate breeds hate, and that what Israel had done will be remembered for generations. That is true, Maxtor, just like Americans will remember 9/11 for generations, knowing that the perpetrators were ARABS. I certainly won't forge 9/11, or the other atrocities committed by ARABS. I have often said that the wealth generated by crude oil sales should have made the Middle East a paradise. Since utter hatred seems to be the mantra out there, instead of paradise, the arabs have all become parasites! So, I suppose that Yasir Arafat should be treated the same as the Pope?

They were no freedom fighters and the Israelis aren't either. Democracy? Israel has just stripped 20% of their population of their right to vote. I don't know which idiots you are referring to, but Palestinians haven't got a state. Peanuts, but there is something you got awfully wrong: you seem to believe Vittorio Arrigoni writes about the war crimes Arabs committed when they attacked Israel. No, it's the other way round.

What about the blockade for three years? What about the land that was stolen for the refugees in Gaza to build Sedrot and other Israeli cities in place of Palestinian villages. Jinny maybe you need to check the history to see that it is the Israelis are the ones who elected terrorists as their leaders since 1948. Or maybe you are happy to see hundreds of children who were not born when 911 happened getting killed because 10-15 Palestinians were "dancing", but am sure you don't give a damn. Look at the peace and prosperity people like you brought to Iraqis. Richard, Palestinians do not have a country or an army to go and fight in the open give them tanks and airplanes and am sure they will be more than happy to go in the open. Palestinians are civilians whom their country was occupied by the Jews and they fight for their freedom, read about the French resistance during WWII before start talking about who is terrorist. Israel is an occupation force under international law resisting this occupation is a right and is a self-defense, Israel on the other hand is an aggressor committing war crimes. It is Israel who is using Palestinians as human shield when they force them to walk in front of their tanks or when they use their homes to fire on the Palestinians resistance. And this is just one of many war crimes Israel committed in Gaza. Who about shooting children from few meters distance? What justifications can you give for that? It is because of people like you both the world is going crazy. Hate will bread hate, and violence will bread violence. And what IsrHell did in Gaza will be remember for generations to come not only in Palestinians but also in minds of every Arab every Muslim, and every human being (with heart) in this world.

I guess from your point of view, they were nothing more than freedom fighters. You and yours are blind!! Israel is the ONLY democracy in that putrid part of the world. Are Syria, Iran, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudia Arabia, Yemen, Qatar, UAR, Kuwait, Sudan democracies elected by the consent of the governed? Are these aformentioned countries tolerant of other religions other than Islam? Israel gave up Gaza and West Bank to the Palestinians. Those idiots HAVE there own state! It seems that they still have to attack Israel to cover up there own deficiancies, and have the ultimate gall to tell Israel to stop defending itself! Dorte,
