Here is the voice of moral courage for all the Israel apologists on this thread.
"The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt from Gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians,"
"My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town.... A German soldier shot her dead in her bed, he said. My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza,"
-- Gerald Kaufman, a Labour Party MP in the UK http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1055922.html
the rest of the world's unwillingness to make any real effort to stop the savagery in Gaza. I know it's par for the course since the UN and international diplomacy have done little to help the victims in other similar instances of man's inhumanity to man. But for God's sake, how much more of this unrestrained evil will the world allow before someone sends in some troops to defend the people of Gaza? Right now, the only solution is for a multi-national force to occupy Israel/Palestine. Sanity must be restored and soon!
had. Oh, and Freedom. And 50-million liberated slaves. But, no Babycakes, NO mocking of my proudly WASPish roots. The self-loathing is for youse leftoids. Never have so many clueless secular Jews with such confused loyalties heaped such scorn on such a bright liberal light--Israel--as here. Shameful and fascinating and always amusing.

Israel has always killed civilians. That's how they got the land in the first place, by carrying out massacres against the civilian population. Their behaviour in Gaza leads me to suspect that their real intention is to behave with such diabolical savagery that some Arab state might lose its head and make some threatening gesture. Israel would then claim they were the 'victim' yet again and try to start a world war by attacking Iran, hoping that the west would defeat the Arabs and create a United States of Arabia with puppet governments, like the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan, running every Arab state, in complete subjection to the will of America and Israel. How else can anyone understand why the IDF would tell a Palestinian family to come out of their house and when the grandmother came out waving a white flag they opened fire? Two little girls were killed and their two year old sister had her spinal cord severed. She's lying in hospital now after lying bleeding in the street for three hours. She will spend the rest of her life, if she lives, in a wheelchair. The doctors in Gaza have children coming in who've been shot in the head, sometimes shot in the head twice (just to make sure). It's obvious that children are being deliberately targeted. This is seen by the ghouls who run Israel as a 'tactical move'- to shoot the Palestinians' children until they realize they never should have voted for Hamas. The IDF are a pack of cowardly murderers and there's plenty of evidence to support this fact. What they're doing in Gaza is murder and a war crime and the civilians are being deliberately targeted, as they were in Lebananon and as they always have been. Of course Mark Regev (an Australian, to my shame) will go on spouting his lies - that's what he's paid to do- but don't be foolish enough to believe a word he says. Tom Friedman is the most contemptible creature ever allowed to write for profit and why he still gets a run in the papers would be beyond me if I didn't know that the papers are lying liars and completely corrupt.

Oh, I know. Been reading for a long time, so I knew what was coming. But you know, it's just one of those things that you know you shouldn't watch, like surgery, but you do it anyway because in the end, it's just irresistible. At this point, I figure I've seen it all, read it all, heard it all, and I guess it really is true that there are none so blind as those who will not see.
who's gained access to a keyboard. You're not even an intelligent cockatoo as a canny bird would have a better vocabulary than one which depends on "leftoid" as a basis of argument. Alas! poor cockatoo, you must be feeling sore with that "oid" complaint. You should ask your mistress to apply some unguent especially if you've a baldy patch in that tender area of your anatomy. You said you "wuv" me and call me "babycakes" but I'm not for you at all, cockatoo. Stay happy in your gilded cage and tell all your mistress's visitors in that croaky voice "I'se a wasp, yez I am".
"War is not kid stuff."
-- RobbySh
Wrong. War is the failure of diplomacy, and diplomacy is adult stuff, making its failure result in the kid's stuff of war.
What's the difference between this:
"It's mine!"
"No, it's mine!"
and war?
Not a gaddamned thing.
you make my flesh crawl. It's no wonder at all that you're getting a buzz out of that orgy of killing in Gaza while pretending to be all prim and proper. If surgery is "irresistibel" why don't you go to Gaza's main hospital where two Norwegian doctors have been working to save the lives of children sacrificed to Israel's bllod-lust. There's one problem. You wouldn't be let into Gaza and as your affections are clearly more in the direction of Tel Aviv, that should be your destiny. I don't believe you're a Catmom unless it's a polecat or tiger you mean.
