I don't like itwhen people do not look at all the facts either! Like being naive enough to see only where Pals are at fault, and g-d only knows they have enough blame, not the issue. Israel also has MUCH to be responsible for, and sadly those in israel with messianic and apocalyptic fevers are infecting an entire region with madness just as surely as a militant jihadists is. Until Israel takes HER OWN responsibilty in this mess and understands that treating people the way they have treated the Pals always leads to them fighting back.....they will never have peace. Too mnay in israel want a JEWISH state. period. Look at what he Shin Bet is doing. Jewishness before democracy??? A Jewish state ANDde,ocratic state can not be with the radicals leading the movement.BUT a democratic state with equal rights and opportunity forJew and gentile and muslim and secular and etc etc CAN work. Butnot the other way around. Israel will turn into Iran soon. Sad.
I don't HATE any one..what I dislike intensley is people like you that continually deny facts..I am neither Jewish nor Arab,but I am strongly pro Israel and the fact that the pals can continually attack Israel with their rockets/suicide bombers/kidnappers/etc. and then scream revenge when Israel retaliates.and you still blame them is beyond me...and my BP is perfect,thank you.
Why do you only allow concen or sympathy for the rights and liberties of Israeli's. Do you not understand it deiminishes your own freedom and humnaity when you act sos elf-centered and immature. there are pals and Arabs who hate hamas and fatah as much, maybe more than any Israeli. Do you truly ALL Palestinians should be treated badly and unfairly? Why does it threaten YOU that I have compassion and work for the rights of ALL human beings? Hating Pals/arabs won't make you nay safer, won't secure israel, won't bring any good about in fact. If hating them works for you, then so be it...go hate. But not of us are as easily goaded into the vicous cycle of hatred as you so obviously are.It's like a cancer with you. very sad. IGNORE my posts if they unsettle you so...please don't raise your BP on account of me. Go post where all agree and think like you.
The world wearies of you, constantly squabbling and murdering Pali barbarians. Goodbye to you now. You have forfeited all hope of constituting a state. You are now soon to be swallowed into Egypt, Jordan, and of course Hell.
"as when the Israeli side calls for elimination of all Palestinians"????????????? I've never heard that. I've heard the opposite,like Hamas wants every Jew gone and Israel off the map. Do they issue all you sickening bleeders with a script..sounds like it..you all bleat the same senseless,unthinking garbage,arab propaganda,ad nauseum..and you sure make me nauseous.
Kill every single member of Hamas, Islamic 'Jihad,' and every other fanatical muslim Palestinian group. If they wish an 'existential' struggle, let us give them one. Then see who is clearly more fit for existence, and to whose generosity and forbearance the other group's -- the theocrats' -- existence is solely to be attributed.
will not be exiled again. They may be persecuted, they WILL be healed. Our Creator Loves these people unconditionally. No, I am not one of them. However, God Loves me more than enough and that enables me to accept His Love for them without being jealous. What you need to be asking yourself is, What is keeping me from knowing the Love of God to the extent that I am unable to reflect it? (Not even to the children of my own people)
than to expect any real acknowledgement of transgessions by radical palestinians or islamic fanatics from those people you named. They might grudgingly mention the acts but will justify them by (quick - $1 million bucks for the correct answer) saying it is all Israel?s fault.
as has every other call for the ethnic cleansing or killing of ALL Jews.
If genocide and ethnic cleansing of Israel is admitted as the goal of Hamas, it is necessary to take the severe measures needed to disarm the Pals or relocate them to other countries. USA did put the Indians on reservations; they were in the VERY SAME situation you are dealing with in Israel. Moderates could be helped to move to a better situation than a reservation. Mafia and murderers belong in prison. Israel will not take severe measures because leaders insist on committing crimes against humanity which in end will hurt Israel. The international law is there defining and prosecuting crimes against humanity to help bring the peace. Grinding warfare will hurt the civilians, etc.
as when the Israeli side calls for elimination of all Palestinians. Everyone, Israeli and palestinian who truly wants to fight the other to the last drop of blood should be bused to the Roman coliseum, charge admission like days of old, let em fight it out..all monies collected can go to helping those remaining in Israel/Palestine build their country into a land that is peaceful and productive.
Since Israeli Jews aren't going anywhere and have great military power (Semites meaning Arabs and Jews, close relatives whether they like it or not. That power won't bring them security but it will provide for mutually assured destruction if that's what Hamas (or Iran or...) is ever strong enough to bring on. That's the most Hamas can hope to achieve, mutual annihilation.
clickfool and the other classical left contributors haven't condemned this or will "interpret" these remarks; why do you think that will be so?
It would seem there is no vanishing point for the Palestinians. Not only is there a time to ask for that, historically speaking, of other countries, but the arabs as well have to come to that conclusion. At least we know the Hamas part of the Pal Gov will stick by its charter. Peace will be inevitable, but there is always a price.
What a curse on the Palestinians to have to live, and believe, and act, upon the utter non-sense "Hamas Figures" tells them!
Peple accuse Israel of having a policy of ethnic cleansing, despite the massive growth of the Arab popuylation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, but here we have proof that this is the definitive aim of Hamas. Clickfool, Maureen, Marylin, Viper et al, where is your immediate disapproval of these genocidal fascists?
What would happen if Israel's Prime Minister said that Israel should fight the Palestinians,until the last of them leave the land of Israel? I leave the answer up to all the decent people that write to this talback and not so decent.
