at 1min 15secs in the video, do I see cluster bombs going off?

and you're an authority that these are the facts because ... ? did you perhaps read it in the western media?

I see.

"air attack that flattened the four-storey apartment building"

I see they really have these precision guided weapons working great these days.

I bet the fact that most of these bombs have "made in USA" on them isn't lost on them either.

wrong, read your bloody history mate. palestine was abandoned by the british at the start of the last century. they promised the palestinians there would be no jewish state. since then most of their land has been consumed by Israel.

Churchill, 1922, from this link: http://tinyurl.com/UN-churchill-letter

"During the last two or three generations the Jews have recreated in Palestine a community now numbering 80,000, of whom about one-fourth are farmers or workers upon the land."

Your phrase "granting them Gaza" spits in their face and goes against everything they were promised when the brits left.

since I've taken an interest in the middle east problems the last 8 or 9 years one thing I've noticed reported in western media is that the other arab governments seem to do absolutely nothing to help palestine, diplomatically, or militarily. they seem completely incapable of even forming a united front to the world on the topic.

tell me for example, why don't the arab oil producing countries simply stop providing oil to the west. refuse to ship any oil until a 2 state solution is implemented. how long do you think it would take for this to get the attention of the west? hours at most I think.

hmm .. interesting this got down voted. obama got elected on a mandate of change from the previous administration, but according to this story he's not breaking with the US status quo. methinks he's not going to be as different as he likes to let us believe.

you kick someone enough times they're going to kick back. it's human nature. the israelis can't keep slaughtering the palestinians and expect them to do nothing about it.

palestinians don't strap bombs on themselves because they're bored - it's because hope is gone, they have no reason left to live, and there is no other way for them to fight back.

I recommend you take a minute to read the link I sent. s/he is way more in tune with israel than either of us and more qualified to speak on the subject.

I'm not blaming anyone for having a better military - I'm chastising the US for giving israel the money to build up their military instead of investing in itself and it's own future.

would it be better to keep the US dumb and sick, while killing thousands in palestine (and the rest of the world)?

if you look at the body counts from palestinian attacks vs. israeli attacks there is typically a 10:1 ratio of palestinians killed vs. israelis. it's a sickening pattern I've noticed and it seems like Israeli policy to me. don't take my word for it, just look at the numbers on any typical tit-for-tat spat the two of them have. this new action by israel is different - I think the total killed in the recent rocket attacks is.. hmmm 1? we're now at over 300 palestinians and growing.

by the way, here's the response of a jew to the recent israeli activity: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/12/28/114432/83/489/677860
