Israel Ponders Ground Invasion of Gaza After Days of Airstrikes on Hamas Targets

You didn't understand absolutely any word I've said, Sorry.

First of all, "Rotem by labelling me a 'Arab lady' just proves my point." I didn't call you an Arab lady, Read again, I called the women on the link that I've put here "An Arab lady", 'Cause she is.

Second, I'm not angry at you at all and I'm not angry at any person who has different opinions then mine, I've never said that! I'm angry when people are not telling the truth ( like Ahmed did). The things that I wrote on my previous comment were directed to all of the readers.

Anyway, I would be glad to understand from you, what do think about this situation(IN Gaza)?

It was sent like this by mistake.

Dr. Shade of NC - Oops.. I know how to write "history", this was a mistake. As for "been"-"being" , Thanks for the lesson :)

And again, I wanna thank you for understanding us! And thank you for helping my country and showing truthfulness to fulfil my request.

Have a nice day!

Somebody of XX,

I didn't attack Ahmed, and if it's seems like that, I'm sorry.

I'm just so furious when I see people who are teeling incorrect things about us, this is why you are mistaken.

First,you said:"His main point, or request, was that people take a look at the broader picture before making their judgements - and i think we could all learn from this."

Well,this is exactly what I've said, but it seems to me like you want to listen just to the other side's requests.

Second, "We are much closer to the conflict that you and the 18 year from Israel realise. We know whats going on - there many victims here."

Who are "we"? Where r you from? And how did you come to the conclusion that 18 year olds in my country know less then yours? What? Are we all 18 year olds from Israel are one entity with the same knowledge and reflections? U don't even know me.

"for every link you gave there a likely 10 others for the palestinians... that have suffered from years and years of war. Why??? Its a very good question. "

Thanks, you made my point! This is just what I've said! The palestinians propaganda power, or however you call it, is much much stronger them ours.

And let me tell you another thing-Why do you think this fighting on the last few days is happening?

This is why- for 8 years! 8!! this war exists. Where were you all those who fight for innocent people's life when the palestinian and arab terrorists killed many of us at clubs, restaurants, coffee shops, buses, on the street, on our houses etc.?? Where were you when we were suffering from paranoias just because we needed to go to school by bus or just go out of our houses??? Where were you when for years SDEROT's civilians couldn't (and still can't) live a normal life because the hamas was constantly attacking them with rockets??

For all those years our government didn't do anything just because we care so much about the innocent palestinians lives, We know that the HAMAS uses them as it's human shields, and we didn't want to hurt them, So now, after we didn't had a choise, In order to protect ourselves, we executed a very planned and considered operation which his goal is to bring down the Hamas and avoid hurting innocent people's life in there not in intent.

Don't go and defend one side just because more people in there are getting killed, The only reason you see that not many of us are getting killed now is because we have shalters and a government and defence forces which are standing on our side and supporting us, NOT like the Palestinians, Their leaders (HAMAS) are causing their deaths instead of protecting them.

Why do you think that they live like that? The Hamas leaders get a lot of money from the arab world, but instead of using this money in order to help those poor people, they use it to buy weapon in order to kill us.

Once Golda Meir, Formerly PM of Israel, said:"Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."

Dear Rotem,

Your thanks to Dr Shade and co does your argument no favours at all. The blatant views and attitude that they have shown towards the conflict is contrary to what your purport Israel's general standpoint to be - what was it "humane"?. So I don't think you should use them as your cute fluffy mascot in this case.

I also think your attitute or rather personal attack on Ahmed is misplaced. From what I read his tone was sincere and not deceitful, which is what you imply. His main point, or request, was that people take a look at the broader picture before making their judgements - and i think we could all learn from this.

At the same time are you really denying his claims to be untrue - really? I can speak for myself and a couple of the other readers that have contributed to this conversation - we are much closer to the conflict that you and the 18 year from Israel realise. We know whats going on - there many victims here.

for every link you gave there a likely 10 others for the palestinians, lebanese, jordanians, syrians (shall I go on?) that have suffered from years and years of war. Why??? Its a very good question.
