		<description>I am sure Israel wishes to overthrow Hamas. Hamas wishes to overthrow Israel. Should Israel sit idle and &quot;hope&quot; it does not happen?

If you don&#039;t want women and children killed by war, tell the Hamas fighters to stop hiding and launching rockets from areas populated by women and children.

That won&#039;t work because they are cowards.</description>

		<description>How is this different from the Holocaust?... the Jews didn&#039;t vow to wipe Germany off the map or push it into the sea and then launch wars and terrorist attacks against Germany and German citizens all over the world.</description>

		<description>if anyone is acting like the nazis its israel.
they have formed ghettos of palestinians. closed them off into tiny helpless, over populated villages. where they cant get out unless they wait for hours upon hours at the gates. they dont have control of air, land or sea and can&#039;t grow their own food. they don&#039;t recieve aid and every second day they are bombed and men are taken prisoners just for assumptions and under false pretenses.

i cannot understand how israelis and jews can do this sort of thing, when the same thing was done to them in the 40s. how can you cause the same pain to someone else, when you KNOW how bad it felt to be on the other side of the fence.
they have NO excuses for the ways they treat the palestinian people.</description>

		<description>Israel has every right to respond.

What if Mexico or Canada were sending exploding rockets on US soil?

Would&#039;ve we sat on our hands for months and months like Israel did?

Let Israel show that this type of activity WILL NOT be tolerated.

Let their military cut a wide swath through Gaza and let the UN be damned!</description>

		<description>This wouldn&#039;t be an issue if the politicians weren&#039;t competing to see who was the most racist and wanted to see the most blood.  So long as Israel&#039;s politicians believe that bloodthirsty and genocidal rhetoric and actions ill win votes --
and American politicians and the Israel-first media swears allegiance -- 
there can be no peace</description>

		<description>I live in Alabama and I just got back from Atlanta where I was protesting.

The anti occupation community in Atlanta has been incredibly successful. There have been regular protests outside the Israeli consulate. Today we had a protest which was very successful - we had something like 2000-3000 people march through some not so good weather through downtown Atlanta and we went from Woodruff Park to the CNN center, where we stood for around an hour before marching back. The protest was peaceful and well behaved. It was certainly worth the drive all the way from Alabama.

I hope someday the people of Palestine will know true freedom and the chance to live normal lives. But until then, supporters of the Palestinian cause such as myself will continue to protest....</description>

		<description>A wide gap separates the reality of Israel&#039;s actions from the rhetoric of its spokesmen. It was not Hamas but the IDF that broke the ceasefire. It did so by a raid into Gaza on 4 November that killed six Hamas men. Israel&#039;s objective is not just the defense of its population but the eventual overthrow of the Hamas government in Gaza by turning the people against their rulers. And far from taking care to spare civilians, Israel is guilty of indiscriminate bombing and of a three-year-old blockade that has brought the inhabitants of Gaza, now 1.5 million, to the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe.

A review of Israel&#039;s record over the past four decades makes it difficult to resist the conclusion that it has become a rogue state with &quot;an utterly unscrupulous set of leaders&quot;. A rogue state habitually violates international law, possesses weapons of mass destruction and practises terrorism - the use of violence against civilians for political purposes. Israel fulfils all of these three criteria; the cap fits and it must wear it.</description>
