		<description>It should be noted that the Hamas rockets are not much more than the hobby rockets that are available, except these explode. They&#039;re terribly innaccurate. Hamas uses them not to cause widespread death and carnage, but for the psychological effect.

It&#039;s Hamas&#039;s way of saying we can reach out and touch you too.

You&#039;ve got to use what you can afford. Israel has a rich daddy that looks the other way when Israel misbehaves.

Gaza still waits for adoption. I don&#039;t think they have to wait much longer. Sooner or later the Arab cork over this situation is going to pop.

		<description>xexon:  I share your hope.  

I wonder whether the aid given to countries across the board is a good way of covering up the extent to which the West was/is responsible for building up Israel.  Israel would have been absorbed by the Arabs if it were not for the coin from foreign coffers, an incredibly supportive network worldwide and a religious belief that promotes the superiority of the Jewish tribe - why one ends up thinking that the people themselves are to be considered God - a God that will automatically avenge itself against all who do not kowtow...

Television has a powerful influence and people are increasingly realising the free ride Israel is getting because of USA backing.  Jews, Atheists, Christians and Muslims have been marching together.  

In Britain thousands have turned out to protest at Israel&#039;s inhumane actions.  Like me they were raised with ideals and standards - a sense of fair play and decency and a belief in the rights and responsibilities of being a human.  If democracy is going to look like Israel then it debases the West&#039;s ideals, hopes and amibitions.  Equally the &#039;democratic&#039; leaders of the inhabitants of Gaza terrorize their own people and operate in primitive ways to keep power and control and therefore a &#039;solid&#039; body to oppose Israel.  

I remain thankful that I live in the West for it remains the standard bearer for individual rights and freedoms today.  I do not have to fight a theocracy, communism or gang leaders to be heard.  Those times have long since passed.  One can never claim the West is perfect.  The West is messy.  However,  it is always open to change because of the platforms given and the historical fights and, yes, flights to find a better way of living and working - the Western land grab was unprecedented.  However, the clock cannot be undone in the USA or Israel.  

Both exist and will continue to exist for some time.

		<description>You mean back in June and July when Gaza agreed to the ceasefire and stopped shooting rockets?  Or are you talking about November when Israel broke the ceasefire?</description>

		<description>It made me feel so sad to see those pictures of people being bombed. You know, the pictures back in June and July of Israelis being bombed by Hamas rockets. Boy, if we had only stood by our convictions then and demanded that Hamas stop all of this killing in Gaza could have been avoided.</description>

		<description>When the Christian supporters of Israel come to understand they will not be welcome in the Israel of the extermists, watch US support for Israel come to a sudden halt.

US aid to Israel is what&#039;s fueling this fire.

We know how to put it out.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;What is painful to acknowledge is that the West is supposed to stand for something good, better, kinder and fairer.&lt;/i&gt;

Another example of the efficacy of saying something often enough as though it were true. People start to believe it every time.</description>

		<description>A story once was told of a Rabbi from the East who visited the area that was to become modern day Israel and reportedly said that the bride is beautiful but unfortunately married.  It did not stop the bride from being kidnapped though.

Should China prove to be the world&#039;s leading superpower in the future would she be interested in assuring the continued survival of the Jewish State?  Perhaps, she will be too busy grabbing land and power in Africa for her citizens and will not notice the crappy rockets fired at Israel killing a handful and in retaliation a mighty military machine turned on children and women.  Then again China has no issue with slaughtering innocents either.

What is painful to acknowledge is that the West is supposed to stand for something good, better, kinder and fairer.  Rightly one sees that this is not the case when regarding Israel and our continued support of Zionist killers.</description>

		<description>That first image makes me nauseous.  I literally cannot imagine how anyone would a) use their own children as human shields or b) how they&#039;d lay fire into building knowing that children were around.

The first casualty of war is your enemy&#039;s humanity, because if you couldn&#039;t make your enemies into animals, you couldn&#039;t slaughter them with machine guns, rockets, tank shells, and suicide bombers.</description>

		<description>Despite the fact that the acts commited by Israel against the Palestinians are completely disgusting, the irony of Jewish people commiting genocide is kinda funny (not in a &#039;ha ha&#039; way, but a head-shaking-out-of-sheer-ridiculousness way).</description>
