		<description>Hamas always lament and complain about the Israeli blckade. 
The blockade appears to piss Hamas off. 
If Washington was blockaded, I would be darn pissed too!!

But I will ask: Why was the blockade implemented?

Israel intimately knows the fanatical, extremist, tightly united nature of the Palestinians and any Muslims. 
The blockade serves to &quot;control&quot; these wild animals within a barrier so that they could not do much harm. 
It&#039;s a control measure. 

Sadly even with the blockade, these Palestinians fanatics still manage to dig hundreds of tunnels and ultimately, even fabricate their own rockets!!! 
See how united they are, and how fanatical they are? 

Even sadder, when a women knows her husband or neighbour makes rockets and lunaches them at a neighbouring region, these &#039;civilians&quot; still remain passive. 

That&#039;s why, I maintain that Israel shd not differentiate between Hamas and civilians. They are the same, and one. 
Kill them all in Gaza and close this issue.</description>

		<description>Sven, I would like to correct you. 

If there are lots of extremists and terrorists making rockets in Washington DC, I am sure Americans or any sane, logical human-being will quickly report this matter, distance themselves from these fanatics, where the authorities can easily apprehend these Allah-chanting Muslim psychos. 

However, in Gaza, the Hamas appears to have the fully support from the Gaza civilians. The Hamas people are living and hiding amongst the civilians. 

The civilians have never showed signs of hating the Hamas or wanting to isolate themselves from Hamas. 

If Muslims have any brains (I think they don&#039;t), all the so-called &quot;civilians&quot; should gather and march to a safer, single location and tell Hamas members 
&quot;PLS DON&#039;T COME NEAR US. wE DON&#039;T WANT TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU, HAMAS!!!!!&quot;. All &quot;innocent&quot; women shd come out and wave white sheets and march to a single unified location where they won&#039;t be bombed like flies.  

Sadly, because all Muslims are basically alike and support each other very closely, &lt;strong&gt;the above did not happen.&lt;/strong&gt; 
That&#039;s why Hamas and the &quot;civilians&#039; are becoming butchered by the bombings, because they fuindamentally believe in terrorism, and in supporting terrorism. Gaza civilians and Hamas are actually the same thing. 

Israel shd use FAEs (especially the MOAB) in huge numbers to just flatten this extremist, troublesome, unproduction place called Gaza. Kill everyone there. 
The children will become extremists one day anyway!</description>

		<description>Counterfact:

More than a million people live in Gaza, but only a few thousand rockets, bombs and mortar bombs were used by Palestinians from Gaza.

Collective guilt does not exist.

You don&#039;t want to see Washington DC nuked just because of a couple criminals and war criminals are there, right?</description>

		<description>Fact 1:
Gaza is occupied by terrorists, and their supporters
(wives, children, relatives, old folks etc). 
I call them supporters because these silly fools refuse to distance themselves from their friends and spouses who are doing terrorist acts. If you knew your redneck neighbour was making bombs, would you still hve coffee with him?

Fact 2:
The daring Gazan men will resort to weapons and violence.
The not-so-daring ones will still spiritually support their actions and will never condemn any acts of violence. 
Even if a Muslim kills the US president, other Muslims worldwide will just keep quiet and will not condemn. Y&#039;see....Muslims are all the same, regardless of country of origin and social background.  
I am from Malaysia...I know. 

Fact 3 :
In short, everyone in Gaza are terrorists....directly or indirectly, consciously or sub-consiously. 
They all have hatred for Israel and other whitemen,especially the Americans.  

Fact 4:
You wanna kill a hornet&#039;s nest, you must kill em all. 
This military action will result in many Gazan survivors becoming future terrorsits and suicide bombers. It fuels hatred. Before, the Gazan muslims were already extremists with deviant beliefs. Now,with the bombing, they will go crazy. We must flatten Gaza. 

Fact 5:
Israel is not stupid. 
Israel knows the rockets will still be coming in. 
Israel knows it&#039;s impossible to target just the Hamas, who&#039;re hiding amongst their families and underground, 
The solution is simple, and happening now....Israel is systematically and slowly destroying the Gaza Strip daily. 

Fact 6:
Ever realised that most terrorists in the world are mostly Muslim, who like to use Allah as an excuse/explanation for everything? 

My conclusion is simple:
Just kill everyone in Gaza Strip, and leave the place to rot. 
Flatten the Strip, and seal it off.</description>

		<description>Hey D-Lee, If a solution is what you want, then perhaps we should have a two state solution. Hamas&#039; roots are a Zionist creation, and the Eastern European origins of modern Israel indicate it really shouldn&#039;t be in that territory, but with that said, the only solution is to get everyone together and ask what they all want. The question is whether Israel wants domination on a larger scale than just occupied territories.

Captain America, Doctor Strange and Green Lantern were always my favs, Lead Head.</description>

		<description>#236 - Fox News, ever the Neocon Megaphone says under caption &quot;A shell fired by the Israeli military explodes in the northern Gaza Strip as seen from the Israeli side of the border with Gaza&quot;. It is phosphorus.

Depleted Uranium also found in victims

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=80443&amp;sectionid=351020202&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=80443&amp;sectionid=351020202 

This is indicative of The Internet vs MainStream Media. Back in the old days, all the MSM had to do to someone who questioned the War-like tendencies of the government was &quot;Commie&quot;, and blacklist them.

Now, if you question War, you are &quot;Un-American&quot; or &quot;Anti-Semitic®&quot;. It is a sick, almost laughable joke how these War Crackpots keep thinking it is 1951. Remember, any time someone uses the race card when describing that you can&#039;t question against Israel, they in the same breath say that all Arabs should be wiped off the face of the planet.

		<description>Does anyone know if Obama&#039;s White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, is a Zionist?

Some Palestinians and Arabs expressed dismay at Obama’s appointment of Emanuel. Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada said that Obama’s appointment of Emanuel sent the signal he would not be taking a “more balanced, more objective, more realistic advice that could change the course from the disastrous Palestine-Israel policies of the Bush and Clinton administrations.” Emanuel said that Obama did not need his influence to &quot;orientate his policy toward Israel&quot;.

Emanuel&#039;s 81-year old father was quoted as saying, &quot;Obviously, he will influence the President to be pro-Israel. Why shouldn&#039;t he do it? What is he, an Arab? He&#039;s not going to clean the floor of the White House.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;drogon lee Says:
FORGET ABOUT CLUSTER BOMBS &amp; WHATEVER!
JUST NUKE THEM AND GET IT OVER WITH, WASTING TIME!
&lt;/em&gt;

I think you play too many video games. When you&#039;re comfortable in your chair, and you have a nuclear arsenal at your disposal. there is no consequences to your actions except blood pressure and ulcers.

In the real world, after Truman was pressured to drop 2 nukes, and Eisenhower actually wanted to drop one in the Pacific as a warning, Russia wasted no time in arming itself against a US full of Zionists and Nazis (look up Operation Paperclip to see where many of these Nazis went to). Japan was ready to surrender, irregardless of getting nuked.

Now we have Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan all who do not like the US and Israel too much. I am saying that the use of Nuclear weapons can and will escalate into something that you could not imagine in your baby game-playing mind. Do you really seriously think that&#039;s all that is needed? Wipe out 2 million people because Israel broke a ceasefire on November 5th? What amazes me is that GW Bush, Ariel Sharon, and Ehud Olmert have the same juvenile psychotic and sociopathic World View that a person like you has. You know the kind....tortures animals and gets pleasure in seeing people killed. And....I will preempt your statement of, &quot;Arabs strap bombs and kill innocents&quot;. That is a hideous, last ditch effort by a group of people cornered, with nothing left to lose. I didn&#039;t care for Bill Clinton too much, but we were very close to having Arabs and Israelis communicating. You would throw the entire planet in peril, much like Israel and the US has been doing the past 8 years. I do hope Obama goes against his Zionist ear-whisperers, and bring some peace over there.   

Do yourself a favor before someone damages you and see the movie &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

&lt;em&gt;Jews in Germany &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;back&lt;/em&gt; to the Middle East, but it was his friend, the Grand Mufti who pushed the &#039;Final Solution.

This is wrong. read a book and stop making up or eliminating facts. You know damn well they bum rushed Palestine.

:.After reading the rest of you post.: 
Damn I should have expected your entire post would be full of bs.

		<description>You know, it occurs to me that if radical1a and other war fetishists in this thread had been born Palestinian, they&#039;d be the first ones out there launching rockets.

.

&lt;em&gt;pete Says: 

Would it not make more sense for Israel to restore civil rights and representation to Israeli Palestinians?&lt;/em&gt;

Well yeah, but that would just solve everything without a bunch of cool pictures of explosions and other war porn for the U.S. wingnuts to enjoy.  Besided, &quot;everybody knows&quot; that only a two-state solution is viable here, kind of like how &quot;everybody knew&quot; that only a one-state solution was viable in Iraq.  &lt;em&gt;Sigh...&lt;/em&gt;

.

&lt;em&gt;drogon lee Says: 

NUKE THEM.SO THAT THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH!&lt;/em&gt;

What are you, twelve?  Nukes don&#039;t bring peace.  You&#039;re advocating genocide.  Genocide is bad.  You are bad.  Being bad is wrong.  You are wrong.

Moral arguments aside, it&#039;s probably not a good idea to nuke a place that&#039;s extremely close to (and often upwind of) your own population centers.  Fool.

.

PS: I wanted to reply to something USpace said, but I couldn&#039;t find anything coherent enough to respond to coherently.</description>
