		<description>If the world remains immune to this and accept Israel&#039;s untouchable image, then we are doomed for more aggressiveness, terrorism.   The rhetoric of the last administration has left us really boggled.  Now with a new element coming in we hope that the world can reorganize it&#039;s ideas to the eloquence and hope of a new leader.  I&#039;m really hoping for the best within the next presidency.  

People are critical.  They&#039;ve seen Obama cooperate with powerful lobby groups.   The current situation will reconvene our efforts and collective energies to a new citizenship.  A world citizenship.  A world where we can maybe be responsible collectively for the actions of SITUATIONISTS.  We all know that Israel is going through a dilemma with it&#039;s current leaders.  Leaders are now always looking to the past to review their actions, rethink their policy.  The new power struggle has to come from the lower levels.  THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT&#039;S HAPPENING ON THE FLOOR, IN THE Real World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Fuck your Vanity, your life in Dubai, your excessive greed!  Vanity is detrimental to HUMANITY</description>

		<description>Golda Meir was quoted as saying that if the Arabs lose at a war they will always have a place to reconvene and attack again 

&quot;The Muslims can fight and lose, then come back and fight again. But Israel can only lose once.&quot;

I think there is a real sense of disillusion with Israel at this point in time.  I&#039;ll never deny the hope to create an Israeli state, I am however now forced into a state of hopelessness as I see what&#039;s happening in a place that could be seen as a land of rescue for those hoping for the best.  Idealism is tarnished once again.  Israel is a hinge of hope to many people.  Now this hope is reversed to killing of innocent kids, mixed in with groups of people who are so lost in hope that they revert to aggressiveness.  Treat someone like an animal and they become just that.  Palestinians are so hopeless right now.  Let&#039;s expect the world to react and not stay immune to this blatant aggression.

		<description>@Proteus: What a bunch of nattering racist nonsense.  The U.S. essentially wiped out Indian resistance so it&#039;s unlikely there&#039;ll be any shells falling on Seattle anytime soon.  Fortunately, the world will not let Israel do to Gaza what the U.S. did to its Native American population in the 19th century.

The U.S. also fought a war with Mexico &amp; essentially stole a large portion of Mexican territory and annexed it to the U.S.  THere might be a suitable historical analogy in there somewhere.</description>

		<description>As an outsider and not Israeli or Arab I am disgusted with the excessive use of force by Israel. Every 1-2 years we have the same story. Israelis should know that the wheel will turn and things will change. By killing and bombing the only thing you do is to norture terrorism. And this will make the life of your children and grandchildren more difficult than ever. You need peace and for peace you need friends. With your actions you create enemies. Look around you. Even non-Arab countries have turned against you. Turkey, Cyprus, Greece... all your neighbours are sick and tired of your bombings and killings. If you need friends then talk peace and BE HONEST! Else you will always have war, problems, fear and enemies...</description>

		<description>Perhaps the slaughter is meant to derail any future US policy from being remotely fare to Palestinians.  Shedding Palestinain blood after months and months of seige will produce at minimum rocket attacks we&#039;ve seen.  As long as Isreali public see themselves as having more rights than their Palestinain counterparts and American jews seek more destruction of Palestinians through their power apparatus in US, the imbalance will grow.  When this mountain erupts, it will burn the good and bad Isrealis together and quick.  History will repeat itself.  Look at falling US power everywhere.  There is nothing for ever except God.  Be kind to your fellow man.  Good luck!</description>

		<description>Hamas hide behind civilians, so there were civilian casualties. About 85% of the dead are Hamas soldiers.
Please stop supporting terror against Jews in Israel</description>
