HEATHER:

Are you really that ignorant about the situation to make such a comment?

The Gaza war, as the Israeli peace leader Uri Averny pointed out in a Counterpunch piece, is an election war.  Netanyahu was leading in the election polls and Avni and Barak wanted to prove that they were as bloody and murderous as he was.  Stirring up war hysteria that have succeeded to some extent.  the blood they are shedding in Gaza in intended to win an election.

The bombing of Gaza focused not on the military wing of Hamas, but its political wing, bombing the food disperal, hospitals, schools and other provisions that Hamas provided the Gazans to gain their support.
Isreal did this routinely with the PLO as well, before they got the puppet Abbas to head it, murdering political leaders rather than military leaders.

Why they are invading Gaza, I don’t know, except for election purposes.  There are no military targets.  the rockets that Hamas fires at Israel is largely symbolic military resistence, intended to hearten the Gazans who are so outgunned.  What they really need are anti-tank and anti-plane weapons but the US supported puppets that rule Egypt, Jorden etc would never provide them.

Obama tacitly supports the invasion by his silence, and now is trying to divert attention to it by proposing domestic reforms.  Another Abamanation as he sells out progressives and continues the policies of Bush.

If the world needed any more proof of how barbaric and blood thirsty Israelis are, this is it.

Military forces from around the world need to start bombarding Israel into submission before this gets out of hand.

Enough is enough.

We can forget about the US helping since US nostrils are currently filled to the brim with Israeli feces and an Israeli hand is up US ass so far up that it’s coming out of their nose too.

What a disgusting partnership.  What a disgusting group of people for supporting such genocide.  Let’s hope that this at the very least stops jews from milking the world of money and sympathy due to what happened to them a mere 60 years ago because they are the same shit that the Nazis were…not one iota better.

Hamas was elected freely and democratically.  What more do these fascist jews want from these people?  How can you demand negotiations when on one side you ask for the world and on the other side you starve the very same people you ask to negotiate with?

Israel and jews learned from Hitler well.

WHY dont we STOP selling illegal arms to Israel??

There was a JVFP here in this fairly small city, for the past two days.

There were only about 10 people—why??

If we have a “special relationship with Israel” (especially one-sided, it seems), why do they not consider the effect on our forces already (illegally) in the Middle East? Why is the MSM not speaking of the upcoming elections, and, the “evolving” nature of out govt?

Israel is taking total advantage of the Palestinians’ weakness (the embargo) , our electoral syztem (recent elections), as well as our fragility, with Dubya having 19 more days in power.

Rice is doing the EXACT same thing she did with the Israeli invasion of Lebanon—stalling to let them kill as many as they wish, with bombs with US/UK symbols on them…“they hate us for our fridom”.

The “war” is so lopsided , as to be criminal, but you would never know it to watch MSM on this.

That, my friend, is no friend. (Israel)They play into “martys” hands, just as we do…

It is ridiculous to say that CHILDREN “may have been involved in making bombs or no”—dont we still have an age of consent? Do you think that they make those decisions , on their own, in a vacuum? Why would people so young, just wish to die? It is not striclty religious belief, but a strong realization that , if things remain as they are, with the uS backing only Israel, that they have no future at all.

If you keep repeating it, maybe some gullible fool will believe it.

Most of the worlds citizens including myself don’t like GWBush or his questionable democratically elected government, however that doesn’t give other nations a right to attack us on our home soil and kill our citizens because they consider him a terrorist, which he is.

Did you know that those people already have a home land….its called Jordan. Hamas is a terrorist network, they are funded by Iran, and its a shame that the rest of the world (including most of you here) can’t see that

Congratulations terrorist Israel! It took you six days of terror, destruction and killing a large number of children and innocent civilians to kill one Hamas leader!

This speaks volumes about your real power despite your weapons of mass destruction backed by the other superpower terrorist of the world, the U.S.!

Both of these cowardly entities, Israel and the U.S. will not last few days of confrontation with an organization fighting for justice if they are not always hiding behind their weapons of mass destruction and if the wars were conducted the old conventional way.

That’s why every country of the world that fears the prospect of Israel and the U.S. terrorist attacks should hasten to develop or buy their deterring nuclear capabilities! This is the only way the terrorists of the world will think twice before attacking others who want to have sovereignty and self-determination in their homelands!

It used to be the case that when mafia gangsters killed each other, they would deliberately avoid targeting the victim’s family.  The US-Israel now routinely and deliberately kill a victim’s family as well, to help terrorize the population.  The wives and children are killed, including four children in this case, and their deaths are blacked out or sanitized in the US mass media. 

The US-Israeli power systems are becoming increasingly barbaric historically as the mass murder to terroize populations.  Obama continues to maintain his silence on the Gaza murders; he spoke on on the terrorist attack in Mumbai.

We the people of this land
As ancient as the moon
As proud as the sun
We
The nation in starvation
Shall never kneel
You offer us fear, hatred and debris
And we snatch life
From the claws of death
We are the people
The legend
The letters of this legacy
Kill, destroy, and spread your poison
Ask the mountains of Nablus
The walls of Acre
The corners of Gaza
There
Warriors from across the seas..
Knelt
We will eat the thorns of our land
And drink the dew of our flowers
But shall not kneel
The sun of justice has finally emerged
From the sea of your eternal silence
A sun that will never set
A sun that will paint the masterpiece of freedom
With its golden rays
On the sapphire canvas of our skies
The land curses its occupiers
And will ignite under their feet
Listen ! world of deception
Remove your masks
Remove your cryptic smiles
We say it now
And will say for generations to come
We
The nation in starvation
Shall never kneel
Shall never loose hope
Shall never die
Gaza Stands Proud!

4 women
13 children ages ranging from 1yr old - 16 yr old were killed in this bombing + dozens of wounded civilians

This is the heroic performance of the IDF

Bombing civilians with f-16’s

Israel has F-16’S
Tanks
Even..Nuclear War heads

But it will NEVER have REAL Men

Viva Palestine
We will fight Israeli terror till the last drop of our blood

Israel attacks another refugee camp and kills another opposition leader and another family. Just another day in that neighborhood.  Innocents be damned. 

We support Israel because of…....?

What a punk ass little people Israel represents.

ME Analyst Phyllis Bennis wrote:

The United States remains directly complicit in Israeli violations of both U.S. domestic and international law through its continual provision of military aid. The current round of airstrikes have been carried out largely with F-16 bombers and Apache attack helicopters, both provided to Israel through U.S. military aid grants of about $3 billion in U.S. taxpayer money sent to Israel every year. Between 2001 and 2006, Washington transferred to Israel more than $200 million worth of spare parts for its fleet of F-16’s. Just last year, the U.S. signed a $1.3 billion contract with the Raytheon corporation to provide Israel with thousands of TOW, Hellfire, and “bunker buster” missiles. In short, Israel’s lethal attack today on the Gaza Strip could not have happened without the active military support of the United States.

Israel’s attack violated U.S. law—specifically the Arms Export Control Act, which prohibits U.S. arms from being used for any purpose beyond a very narrowly-defined set of circumstances: use inside a country’s borders for self-defense purposes. The Gaza assault did not meet those criteria. Certainly targeting police stations (even Israel did not claim Gazan police forces were responsible for the rockets) and television broadcast centers do not qualify as self-defense. And because the U.S. government has confirmed it was fully aware of Israeli plans for the attack before it occurred, the U.S. remains complicit in the violations.

The U.S. is also indirectly complicit through its protection of Israel in the United Nations. Its actions, including the use and threat of use of the U.S. veto in the Security Council and the reliance on raw power to pressure diplomats and governments to soften their criticism of Israel, all serve to protect Israel and keep it from being held accountable by the international community.

...The Israeli officials may or may not be right about President Obama’s likelihood of responding differently than Bush on this issue—but it does point to a clear obligation on those of us in this country who voted for Obama with hope, to do all that’s necessary to press him to make good on the “change” he promised that gave rise to that hope.

So What do We Do?

The immediate answer is everything: write letters to Congressmembers and the State Department, demonstrate at the White House and the Israeli Embassy, write letters to the editor and op-eds for every news outlet we can find, call radio talk shows, protest the U.S. representatives at the UN and their protection of Israeli crimes. We need to engage with the Obama transition process and plan now for how we will keep the pressure on to really change U.S. policy in the Middle East. We should all join the global movement of outrage and solidarity with Gaza. There are a host of on-line petitions already—we should sign them all. The U.S. Campaign to End Israeli Occupation is compiling action calls on our website:
