Palistine/Hamas Gangbangers no better than Nazis.

I think you meant exterminate all Jews, did you not? You put in the wrong word. ? As it is the things that the Hamas are doing is comparable to what Hitler and the Nazis were doing, but the former are given excuses because they do not have blond hair and blue eyes or do not like the ideal bad guys. When my father and others went to fight against the Nazis in World War II, people cheered, but when Israel fights against the Palestinian terrorists, do they cheer? No those poor Palestinians are made into poor victims because they do not look like our idea of Nazis, blond/red hair, blue/green or gray eyes. All in the matter of appearances. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it is a duck. And there are different colored ducks.

I agree with you completely and it sickens me that many people in this world do not see the clear picture of what's going on over there. Earlier I saw the demonstrations in London and I was shocked to see that they were demonstrating *against* Israel! Israel did not start this, they tolerated repeated bombings before finally firing back and they're in the wrong??? At first I thought it was just backwards logic but, sadly it's not. Those who support the Palistinians while ignoring the acts of war directed towards Israel *do not care*. It saddens me that innocent people on both sides are being killed and injured but Israel has no other option at this point and has every right to defend herself.

I agree and I also believe there is no negotiating with terrorists!

Ted, I definitely tend to agree with you here. I just wish I knew what could or should be done about it and what our role (the U.S.) should be, if any. The only hope I see is to get to the young Palestinian children before the hatred sets in with them, if that makes any sense. I saw a show several years ago, it may have been 60 Minutes or Dateline, where they brought a bunch of young teens from both Israel and Palestine to a camp in the U.S. for a summer and they became close friends and in some cases the friendships continued after they returned home. These young people were able to see they're really not that different from one another after all when they're taken away from the hatred and violence. If only there were a way to do that with all the children of the world! I know that's a silly, unrealistic dream but what's wrong with dreaming sometimes? Annie

Although what happened could only in loose terms be called an election, Hammas was elected in a popular vote by Palistinians. Using psy-ops such as providing aid for the people in addition to out right fear, they won the war for their loyalty before it started. What the people of Palistine need to realize is Hammas is toxic for them and though provides "services", it brings violence and poverty and with that comes complete iron clad control and rule over them. Sound familiar? It should, it's exactly how Hitler's rule acended, so yes ted, I would in ways equate Hammas with the nazzi party. Unfortuneatly there are people who want nothing more than the whole pie for themselves and have a lot of outside help. As long as Hammas and Hezbolah exist, there will never be peace. As long as the people of Palistine continue to put their face in the false gods of these 2 groups, they will continualy be lead down the path to oblivian and 3rd world life.

Strangely enough they are also the old Nazi Party. It was Anti-Semitic sentiment from Arab Muslims that led Hitler to ally with so many of them. It was Arab leaders who taught Hitler that a lie told often enough gets accepted as the truth. Despite their decidedly non-Aryan lineage there were a number of Arab Muslim leaders and military groups in the Nazi elite forces. There are currently more than 4 times as many rockets stationed in Lebanon than there were in when Hezbollah attacked in 2006. Hezbollah, an arm of the Iranian military, was formed for the purpose of destroying Israel. The well documented cooperation between terror groups in that region in their effort to destroy Israel means that Israel is facing a clear and present danger which it must remove in order to survive. As for the "Palestinian State" or "2 state solution", it's another case of lying long enough that folks forget the truth. The nation of Jordon is the "Palestinian state" and Arafat led a war against the Jordanian Government in order to control that state. When Israel became a nation some "Palestinians" remained in Israel expecting their neighbors to wipe out the Jews and retake the land in short order. They tried and failed several times in the next several years and closed their borders to the "Palestinians" living in Israel in order to create a refugee problem they could use for propaganda in the rest of the world. The fact that we are now encouraging the further division of Israel in order to create yet another "Palestinian state" is proof that their strategy worked. Understand this: Israel has been out manned, out gunned, and out maneuvered in every war it has fought since 1947. Israel has won every war it fought since 1947. Israel has ended every war it fought with the capture of large portions of the attacking country. Any one who looks at the history of modern Israel and denies God's intervention is clearly not studying very hard. Strategically speaking and taking into account the military strengths of all parties Israel should not have won any of those fights. Stand with them and be blessed. Stand aside and be cursed. Stand against them and be destroyed. I know where I want to be standing.

Correction: Hitler tried to exterminate all Jews. As to the present situation in the Middle East I would like to mention that I think Israel was patient enough to suffer the daily rocket attacks by Hamas. What did they think they were doing. This is not child's play. They were also warned to stop before Israel attacked them. Furthermose, the population of Gaza elected these insane people as their government. Now they see the horror of having their own people maimed or killed. Don't they realize that Israel could level and make a rubble of the whole Gaza strip. That would be the Endloesung, and believe me Israel would have the wherewithall to do it. That however, is unthinkable in this day and age. The only solution for lasting peace seems to be be two co-existing states that by virtue of their proximity have to live in peace. What angers me also is Palestinians who have chosen to live elsewhere like here in Canada and organize massive protests to support Hamas and denouce Israel. All I want to say is" Please leave your feuds behing, we in this country want to live in peace."

I would say that that's a REALLY far stretch and not fair to the Palestinians. The Palestinians aren't exterminating the Israeli's (even if Hammas would like to they obviously don't have enough support to do much damage). I'm sure Hamas would like to kick all the Israelis out of the land but the Israelis also felt the same way about the Palestinians during the war of independence. They felt that after they had been persecuted they had the right to take the land of Israel. Kinda unfair to the Palestinians I think. The early Jewish immigrants after WWI bought land out from under the Palestinians at high rates that the landlords could not turn down in efforts to gain as much land as possible. You can't say that the Palestinians lied, killed, raped, and stole from the Israelis without saying the same about the Israelis. Not taking sides here, because honestly I think both are just as much at fault.
