Israel Says Gaza Assault Is All-Out War

Actually I would like to correct the last sentence in-order not to be labelled 'illiterate'. What I meant to say was that "maybe you should get our more and start mixing with people who are culturally different (or for want of a bigger word (small minds are impressed by big things) - diverse) so that you can have the chance to open your mind and your spirit".

Would you like that in French - could you understand that??

By the way most Arabs are multi-lingual - can you boast the same?

OK - so now we know - those that are outside of the US can't actually define our location specifically, whereas those in the states can.

So now we have this cleared up I would like to ask how someone who can't spell "sentence" (oh i bet that was a typo- right?) berate others for their spelling errors and infer that they are not civilised. I wonder how the french, italians, germans ect ect would feel about this. English is not their first language and sometimes they stumble...

And might I add that just because you can string togeather a reasonably well structured sentence in English (lets be honest its not the best) doesn't make you civilised! Civility comes from enlightment, education, humility , compassion ect ect. Nothing you have written indicates that you deserve that title - unless you think it comes with your DNA, place of birth ect.

you seem like someone that comes from a rather small culturally homogeneous community - maybe should get out and starting people who are culturally diverse to open your mind and spirit. 

and this is me from Kentucky - US

and this is me pretending to be from some state in the US....

bob - sentance is actually spelt "sentence"

Dear Bob, if you had thought about it a bit more you might understand that 'xx' is the label for international - and we don't have any other choice. Just to prove my theory I am going to test. Hold on while I test it... OK so this is me as an 'international' commentator...

still more retribution

Those guys who label themselves "xx" and "FL" are guilty of gross hypocracy. If they were even able to spell, their sentance structures would be a bit more coherent. As it is their remonstrations against Israel are ludicrous. How can any person living in this great nation harbor such assinine thoughts, let alone have the gall to foist them on to others. It is typical of the illiterate to pounce on civic and humanity-minded people in order to try to rally support for their own bigotry. The nicest thing these illiterates could do is stop displaying their ignorance in public. That way they won't be so quickly found out as the stupid asses they are.

sweet retribution

I think Israel should send as many troops as necessary into Gaza to track down and either kill or imprison every Arab Hamas radical they can. Then methodically destroy every semblance of Arab insane prejudice against Israelites, declare Hamas an illegal entity with imprisonment and/or banishment from Gaza. Send them all to Syria or Lebanon and continue to erect the fances between Israel and the heathen Arabs. Then tell all the Muslims around the world that in the future any so much as a swear word be uttered in Palestine will be greeted with deadly force. Those Arabs teach that death is preferred to life, so let them experience a lot more of the former.And tell the Muslim sympathizers around the entire world to shut the hell up.

Justified and overdue

Israel is only doing what any sovereign country would do and that is defend it's people! The rocket attacks MUST stop and the only way to accomplish this is for Israel to use overwhelming force. There is so much hatred of the Jews by the Muslims that there likely will never be peace! The Jews are hard-working, peace loving people that just want to live from day to day, unthreatened. Israel provides food, water and many other supplies to the Palenstinian people and what do they get in return; rockets and hatred. What does Iran and other Muslim coutries give to the Palestinians; rockets and weapons!

The radical Muslims need to do something constructive and positive with their lives and assure a peaceful future for their children instead of teaching hate!

War?

The measures taken by Israel are outrageously disproportionate.

It is as one person being given a blackeye - and in return having both eyes gouged out

and limbs ripped off.

Before this escalation we had heard of one killed here two or three there - meanwhile entire towns are being raised and hundreds killed,thousands maimed - Israel has banned reporters from Gaza such are the atrocities committed.

If this were a football game and the score tallied - it as though only one team was

playing - and by their rules only.
