From the beginning, the Israel occupation in Palestine on 1948 is a big mistake because they do that by killing thousand of Palestinians on 1948 and continued on 1982 in Lebanon. And now, Israel invading Gaza.Israel in invading Gaza not only destroy UN school and warehouses, but they also use white phosporus in their invasion.Human Rights Watch said that White phosphorus has a significant, incidental, incendiary effect that can severely burn people and set structures, fields, and other civilian objects in the vicinity on fire. Human Right Watch statement proves to the world that what the israel do in Gaza is not a self defence but a form of GENOCIDE to the moslem and christian who live in Gaza. Are you willing your tax that you paid used to kill them? If that so, then united states of america is the same as osama bin laden, a true TERRORIST. For your information,the american government always obey what the israel government want. Like when the America attack Iraq who causes more than 3000 innocent American soldiers die,they do that in order the get rid of Saddam who is one the Israel biggest enemy. Are all American are just do nothing but only see the patriotic American soldiers die only to protect Israel, not the American citizen. If that so then perhaps it is true that America is Israel slave who will do anything to please their master. Now is the time for ALL AMERICAN CITIZEN to show that we, America is ARE FREEDOM COUNTRY from Israel and not under control of Israel.

When Israel barks, America wags it’s big tail!
The blind support of the American establishment, not necessarily the American people, to the Israeli babaric, genocidal and totally irresponsible massacre of civilian lives in Gaza Strip, is to say the least, mind-boggling.
I cannot understand how a so-called vivilized nation will condone such a thing!

9 January 2009: Children make up more than half of Gaza’s 1.5 million inhabitants, and as such have found themselves in the firing line since Israel began its offensive against Hamas. Using unprecedented force, the Israeli army has launched raid after raid against the tiny, overcrowded territory, with the inevitable consequence that children have figured heavily among the casualty numbers. According to UN figures, more than 250 children have been killed and 1,080 wounded — about a third of the total casualties — since the offensive began on December 27.

It was a poll. A question for people too answer. Don’t be so anal.

Some interesting comments from Roseanne Barr

“I said Israel will attack any boat carrying doctors and medical supplies,” Barr wrote on her blog, adding that, “Israel is a NAZI state. The Jewish Soul is being tortured in Israel.”

The Emmy-award winning actress, who has courted controversy in the past, also condemned Israel’s counter-terror operation against Hamas, asserting that, “The destruction of the Jews in Israel has been assured with this inhuman attack on civilians in Gaza.”

In her post, Barr likened Hamas to “street gangs” in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Watts, saying that Israel’s military campaign is the “equivalent to Los Angeles attacking and launching war on the people of Watts to kill ‘the Bloods’ and ‘the Crips.’”

I’ve heard them talk of ‘weakening Hamas’ and ’stopping missiles’.

And what do you think in reality that means?

Israel has supremely more power (economically, politically and military) than Hamas or any Palestinian group and the ability to use it as they please. Such is the luxury of being a client state of the US…

The BNP, the National Front, and the Daily Mail all were opposed to the war in Iraq. What’s your point?

Non-sequitur in the first sentence there.

What’s the BNP, National Front or the Daily Mail got to do with people like Jeff MosqueWatch or people like him who have a pathological hatred of Muslims *and* “Stand with Israel”?

Anyway, I’m off to the march to meet up with friends and show my solidarity with the civilians of Gaza who have to pay the price of Guilt By Association.

The BNP, the National Front, and the Daily Mail all were opposed to the war in Iraq. What’s your point? You seem to have flipped over something. Your making points about guilt by association but I’m not sure why.

Pathological haters of Jews are opposed to Israeli airstrikes on Hamas. As are decent well intentioned and compassionate people. I am fully aware that those protesting the Gaza strikes are a diverse bunch. I personally do not people in to brackets like you seem to think I do. Please do not lump me in with the idiots, I’ll refrain from doing the same to you.

He supported the invasion of Iraq, the indiscrminate and disproportionate targetting of Gazan civilians *and* he has a pathological hatred of Muslims. Odder still.

On Jeff’s website he asks Muslims to pay a special tax “to keep us safe from Islamic terrorism”. Which sounds like the jiza that the clerical fascists talk of. How odd.

sid,
Maybe marvin won’t, but I would like to add this.
http://www.mesi.org.uk/FromNews.aspx

I don’t know who jeff is, but how is this turning anti-muslim now?
why is it so hard to admit Hamas is a terrorist/extremist group?
Tell me you haven’t seen clips from Hamas TV? Tell me how anyone is to negotiate with them?

Is this arial bombardment of Gaza and the potential ground attack a retaliation of the rockets fired into South Israel by Hamas or is it because the real mission is to “destroy the terrorists” who lead the people of Gaza with little regard for civilian casualities?

what is the difference between those two questions?
The answer to both is yes.
I am wondering now … everyone keeps talking about the people in gaza starving etc …due to Israels actions. What about Egypt? and the coast line? why can’t supplies get in? or do they?

Nice elastic terms aren’t they?

The more elastic the better really.

GuiltByAssociation Avenue is a two-way street, right Steve M?

I think I’ll get a t-shirt with “I’m a Pickled Politician” on it. That’ll teach you.

I notice the anti-Muslim bigot MosqueWatch Jeff has the legend “I stand with Israel” emblazoned on his site.

I haven’t heard Israeli officials talk of ‘retaliation’. I’ve heard them talk of ‘weakening Hamas’ and ’stopping missiles’.

Do you want to add anything else now, or do you want to wait until the opportunity arrives later? Perhaps Mosquewatch Jeff can help you out on that.

Meow, meow!
