Stealth repliedEmpowered by American money, Israel is occupying land that does not belong to it, is breaking numerous international laws and conventions of which it is a signatory, and is promulgating policies of brutality that have been condemned by the United Nations, the European Union, the National Council of Churches, Amnesty International, the International Red Cross, and numerous other international bodies. Israel receives about $7 million dollars per day from the United States

lowjoy repliedI am sick of hearing about it as it seems to me that they seem to love nothing else in these Countries. All they ever do is fight and I pity the Families who have a hard time even to try living in this constant conflict. they seem to fight if it were only a blade of grass as each other would declare it was theirs. What is wrong with these people with their constant bickering, and they get nothing settled.The families are trying to bring up children in a land where Peace is never achieved, and only the Lord knows how they will react when they reach the age where they are still compelled to fight.

Supernovea repliedI'm glad that Israel finally took action to get rid of Hamas or at least reduce their potential to strike Israeli citizens.

In case you buy into their sympathy, check out the Hamas charter. Not only does it prohibit peace and compromise but it calls for an Islamic state WITHOUT Jews.

Hamas Charter:

"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."

The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. "

"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."

Londanman: Would you disagree with the America going after the Taliban for 9/11 because we have better planes ? Should we sit back and let Hamas send 3,000 more rocket strikes to see if they can rack up a suitable civilian body count to warrant Israeli intervention ? Of course not. Stop terrorism before it becomes serious enough to destroy one's country.

darkAI replied95% of those were Hamas members. The same Hamas members whose agenda is the complete destruction of Israel and the killing of every one of its citizens.

You said 1400 people were wounded and 364 confirmed killed.. I say it's around 100 PEOPLE wounded and around 15-57 PEOPLE killed.

The rest were savages, beasts and a lousy excuse for a human being. They were Hamas terrorists who target civilians, not military targets, with the direct purpose of killing them, especially and preferably - Women and children. It has been stated by them numerous time, just search it on the web.

Israel uses smart bombs and spreads papers warning of oncoming attacks, to prevent citizens coming to harm as much as possible. I just wish the conflict ended fast with Hamas being wiped off so that a new organization can come to power with whom Israel can actually negotiate peace.

Londonman repliedIsraels courage, F16s against fireworks, tanks against stone throwers

Bruno repliedA continuation of a comedy of errors and terrors that has lasted sixty years. Nothing new. Israel can bomb and kill but will never have peace.

flootzy repliedi think its about time that Israel fought back!!!

hunk repliedHeil Israeal...

they done really good job...these terrorists just deserved it...

I don't care about the 350 or 1400...about 99% of them were terrorists and rest were terror supporters..I have seen a 7 year old muslim terrorists...

these terrorists are like cancer ...we have to kill it or cut the part...
I hope INDIA will do same for Pakisthan who is sending muslim terrrorusts in INDIA..

DECKER repliedPeople should look at the reasons why Palestinians are firing rockets....ie their land taken off them,being kepted in large prison camps ,where u live and die,no rights ,bascially second class citizens.Although I do feel sorry for the Israelis as they need peace for their country to survive ,for their children to live in happiness but u can not have peace on yr own terms as this will stir up hate for future generations look at the balkens and ireland/uk.The fact is many of my friends who never really paided attention to the middleeast news r now asking questions ....and its not the Palestinians that they r classing as terrorists.....

Jack's smirking revenge repliedhammas got what it deserved

PIX-ED repliedIf a group continues to attack a nation, that nation has every right to defend itself.
