Over 90,000 Palestinians are homeless thanks to Israel.

Seriously? They've been censoring what people have been saying (Gerry Adams is the best example) and editing interviews to give a prefered slant for years.

No news organisation can be wholly un-baised, but I think the BBC has one of the best track records when it comes to reporting international events.

I wouldn't be too sure about how they report on national news however. I don't live in the UK.

Well, bottom line . . . Hamas/Israel conflict is like this thread - it will never end. Th Palestinian/Israeli conflict has been going on since before I was born, and I believe, IMO, there has been more days of violence between the two than there has been peace. So, WTF. I guess i should post this in Zorak's Share your cynicism thread, 'cause I don't see an end to this ignorant bullshit.

Questions: What do you think would happen if Israel stopped all military action, period. What if they tried to just cease and desist, and exist peacefully in the region?

The answer is obvious as long as the other side agrees to do the same as in Egypt

Then next obvious question. Will they?

 

[Floyd]

Until next week. Then they'll forget on Monday morning that they were supposed to have stopped.

 

[Alien Allen]

Then next obvious question. Will they?

The Israelis have demonstrated they will stop if the other side does.

Can not say the same for Hamas and Hezbollah

But then those two are terrorist groups so what does one expect.

Jews will never leave Isreal.....Better learn how to get along with them....Just an observation

And I'm curious....When did Hamas become such a sensitive....Non-violent faction of the Muslim Sect?

My guess is you have read absolutely no intel on the roots of the organization...Or you don't care whichever.

*awaits attack of bold typed angry responses*

Hamas is a lot like the mafia. They take care of the little people for a price and they have their political/military agenda, among other things is the destruction of Israel. It looks like they do a better job of taking care of the little people than the government does so they are loved. But they are extremists and consequently losers. They fight tooth and nail to avoid peace because they don't want the status quo. They want war until someone "wins", ideally them...

Now get this, when the Bush Administration pushed for free elections and Hamas won, SS Rice said "we had no idea". Of course not, when you are inept at what you do, with inept bosses telling you what to do. Really shameful.

MP makes Israeli troops Nazi link
A prominent Jewish MP has compared the actions of Israeli troops with Nazis who forced his family to flee Poland.
Sir Gerald Kaufman, MP for Gorton in Manchester, drew the parallel during a Commons debate on the Gaza conflict.
Some members of the Jewish community - including his fellow MPs - have questioned the comments.
Louise Ellman MP, of the Labour Friends of Israel group, said the "dreadful" war in Gaza was not comparable to German actions in World War II.
Sir Gerald, who was brought up as an orthodox Jew and Zionist, told MPs: "My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town .. a German soldier shot her dead in her bed.
"My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza."


"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."
Palestinian deaths in the Gaza Strip have passed 1,000, medical sources in Gaza say, but Israel has continued to resist international calls for a ceasefire.
The Israeli government says the action is necessary to prevent Hamas rocket attacks into southern Israel.
Labour MP Louise Ellman said: "The Nazis were about rounding up and exterminating people because of their origins.
"What we're witnessing in Gaza is a dreadful war and the Israelis are trying to stop Hamas continuing to launch rockets from Gaza, targeting and killing and murdering Israeli citizens."
But speaking to the BBC on Friday, Sir Gerald said he was standing by his comments.
"We had an IRA bomb in Manchester which destroyed much of the centre - we didn't send troops over to Belfast to murder 1,000 Catholics."
Sir Gerald said he had been a long-term supporter of Israel and has personally known many of its prime pinisters.
But he added: "I am not going to stand by and keep silent when the Israeli troops - with a dreadful government sending them there - kill large numbers of innocent people with no useful result at the end of it all."
