Here's an idea!

How about dropping a couple of big dirty ones on Gaza. When Gaza is a sheet of green glowing glass, then Israel will be safe. You betcha!

Why do Arab immigrants claim they're "natives" in Israel palestine?

I am tired of the repeated lie, we all know that most Arabs who call themselves as (since the 1960s...) Palestiians are grandchildren of immigrant from surrounding countries, what is their claim to the historic land of the Jews/Hebrews/Israelites? what is the connection between JUDEA and ARABIA?

Arab leaders' crimes on its people + drama language & belittling Holocaust

As an Arab I am ashamed that Arab kids can not be worth more than to be butchered by Hezbollah and HAMAS tactics in order to parade them on TV stages, I watch Al Jazeera, those photos of blooded children ore shocking, shocking that Arab leaders never seem to blame the real culprit, the radicals supported by Iran and Syria of course.

We in the Arab world have got to stop the maddness of obsessive Jew hatred especially in drama language like shouting: "genocide" and "massacre" on every battle we lose.

We will start understanding these terrorists' tactics when the militants wil start applying these "successful" methods in our own backyard, when Jordan (Egypt, for eaxmple, etc.) will have to dael with extremists causing scores of kids to die, what will WE do then? blame whom?

"Palestinians" = lowest of the lowest human beings use their OWN women cildren

I have heard of the tactics of human shields, of using the enemies' population, but about using its own people as shields? how low can palestinian Muslims go?

So, if a western nation usues a human shield out of the Muslim population, proided that the Islamic terrorists will hesitate to shoot... that's not a bad thing, is it?

Media bias in showing garphic pics. of dead human shields

Why is it that the BBC/CNN show those graphic images of dead Arab kids, when we all know that it is ONLY Jihadists' fault in making sure they die so that "infidel" Israel looks bad?

Since when?

Since when did the Israelis ever had a need to use Palestinis as human shields or their own people? Unless you can provide proof, you should be ashamed of yourself.

...

There is a difference here. Hamas may be using civilians as human shields, but so is the IDF. If anything, Hamas learned the tactic of using Palestinian civilians as human shields FROM the IDF (as documented by Amnesty International, HRW, and the UN for years). The difference is that when Hamas has people guarding them (like in the case where women enabled their escape from Israelis) the civilians all VOLUNTEERED, when the IDF uses Palestinian civilians as human shields they are held at GUNPOINT. There is a difference. Don't believe so much Israeli propaganda, it still doesn't justify their atrocities. Any country who has to go to such incredibly great lengths to justify the suffering they are causing at all times is usually in severe denial of what kind monsters they have allowed themselves to become. I feel pity for Israel as it has become the very thing that its people once fled from.

What the 2009 Elections Tell Us About 2010

By Tom Davis

Seven lessons the parties need to learn from Tuesday's races.

The 2009 off-year elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York's 23d Congressional District offer a small snapshot of the current views and motivations of the American electorate. While there may be a desire to extrapolate the events of Nov. 3, 2009 into a prediction of what will happen on Nov. 2, 2010, that is impossible.
