We obviously need to stop funding the Israelis too! Why do they need to use white phosphorus on civilians?

Why don't we block Israel's weapons they are the ones shooting at the UN buildings

The IRA committed terrorist acts against the British for over 50 years, but England never bombed Ireland to kingdom come. Even on Bloody Sunday only 14 civilians were killed. This massive overreaction is unwarranted.

Maybe one day, Hamas will apologize for fighting in the vicinity of UN Buildings and civilians. Or may be one day, the the UN might even ask then not to.

Unbelievable. Its bad enough we veto any UN action against Israel, and its bad enough we supply Israel with arms and money to buy those arms. But now, despite the fact that Israel has overwhelming military strength (thanks to us), we want to help them make it even more lopsided.

Livni is expected to leave Washington, D.C. on Saturday, but an Israeli official said so far she has no plans to meet with members of the incoming Obama team.
------------------------------

Livni is making a big mistake in not talking to Clinton while she is in the USA. After Tuesday, everything Rice is involved with will be put on hold until Clinton's team makes decisions on them.

Rice should just be packing her personal things and arranging her departure for CA. Any non emergency affair should be left up to the incoming pros.

US, Israel Work Together to Prevent UN From Criticizing Attack on HQ
Israeli Envoy Brags of "Thwarting An Attempt to Act Against Us"
Posted January 15, 2009

An attempt by the British government and other members of the United Nations Security Council to condemn Israel’s attack on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency headquarters in the Gaza Strip was foiled today, after Israel found out about the attempt and demanded United States ambassadors prevent it.

According to Israel’s Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Carmon “this is the first time we have succeeded in thwarting an attempt to act against us thanks to reliable firsthand information received from the Foreign Ministry and the IDF.”

European Union ambassadors called the meeting following the attacks, but the Israeli diplomats alerted the United States to it and the later prevented the council from achieving a resolution. Instead, Security Council President Jean-Maurice Ripert made a speech calling for both sides to stop fighting.

The attack on the compound destroyed several tons of food and fuel aid intended for Gaza’s civilian population and injured three aid workers. The United States has stymied several attempts by the United Nations Security Council to bring an end to the fighting in the Gaza Strip. Perceived Israeli influence over US policies was brought to the fore this week when Prime Minister Ehud Olmert claimed to have ordered President Bush to abstain from voting on a Friday vote on a Gaza ceasefire.

I see pictures of Palestiney children dead or suffering, bleeding, burnt and wounded all over the news. It should be stopped. It can not be justified, I do not care who is terrotist and who is not. This is simply war crime.

America claims to protect Israel from the threat of the Arabs and Muslims around Israel.
Hamas is trying to gain the sympathy of the world, but the senseless and evil act carried out by by hiding in civilian homes and schools of the United Nations, as well as mosques, they are vulnerable to beatings.

Why are we doing ANYTHING in this conflict at all, on either side?

We need to spend our money on our own domestic infrastructure problems, not assisting Israel in destroying the Gaza infrasrtucture!

Congratulations, America, you get what you elected--WAR MORE YEARS!

GO STEELERS !!!

“When the LORD your God Yahweh brings you into the land you are to possess and casts out the many peoples living there, you shall then slaughter them all and utterly destroy them…You shall make no agreements with them nor show them any mercy…You shall destroy their altars, break down their images, cut down their groves and burn their graven images with fire. For you are a holy people unto the LORD thy God and He has chosen you to be a special people above all others upon the face of the earth…”

Ultimately this conflict is about Iran, Syria and Islamic extremists vs. western civilization. They will not negotiate, only lie and kill until western is overtaken. You need to pay more attention to their intent. They are not going to stop. Iran is developing long range missiles capable of reaching Europe with nuclear payload. your choice, I choose armed confrontation to stem the tide of islamic domination.

I applaud the efforts being made but I don't really see much hope of success. We have'nt figured out how to protect our own borders yet.

Verner - Is that what it is really about? Your thinking is the problem. They hate us because we kill so many of them through sanctions, war, and inequitable support for Israel. Hasn't Ron Paul taught you anything this election cycle?

In 1948 the United nations declared certain land to be Israel. This land was supposedly Palestine. Was Palestine apart of the United Nations then and if they were why did they go along with this , If they weren't why didn't they have a spokes person there to speak up for them.. The going on now was started by a terrorist group hamas and is bin laden supporting this group too?

Israel is the biggest terrorist there is. they have savagely killed hundreds of children in Gaza. Israelis are coward they don't fight fair bombing kids with with tanks and planes when the Palestinians have nothing . ISRAELIS ARE WAR CRIMINALS. They used illegal weapons against this poor people. America needs to wakeup and smell the injustice that Israel has created. I suggest that people goggle jews and the media and uncover the truth about what jews in this country are trying to do. they are controlling everything you see and read.
