A great editorial by Ralph Peters in the New York Post:
We may sympathize with the average Palestinian family, exploited by generations of corrupt leaders and now caught in yet another round of violence. But let us never forget that Israel hasn't fired thousands of blind rockets into Palestinian cities, that Israeli suicide bombers don't attack Arab restaurants and bus stops, and that Israel seeks to avoid harming civilians - while Hamas seeks to kill as many civilians as possible.
This is a prime example of brother killing brother. Arabs claim to be descendants of Abraham through his son Ishmael, while Jews claim to be descendants of Abraham through his son Isaac. Classic case of fratricide. And each one claims to have the God of Abraham on their side. Go figure!

HEY KYLE GET OUT YOUR HISTORY BOOK. JEWS FROM EUROPE BOUGHT MOST OF THE LAND THAT IS ISRAEL FROM THE ARABS IN THE 1930'S. THE ARABS THOUGHT THEY WERE SELLING THEM SWAMP LANDS WHILE THEY SAT ON THEIR HORSESS HIGH ON THE HILL TOPS LAUGHING. THEN, WHEN THE LAND BECAME FERTILE FARMS GROWING APPLES, ORANGES FIGS AND PEARS, THEY BECAME JEOLOUS AND WANTED THE LAND BACK.
GAZA WAS HANDED TO THE PALESTINIANS WITH AMPLE INDUSTRY TO LIVE AND WORK...ISRAELIS WERE SUCCESSFUL THERE WHEN THEY HAD THE LAND (GAINED BY A WAR, WON WITH EGYPT). WHAT HAS HAMAS DONE FOR THEIR PEOPLE IN GAZA? THEY PLACED ROCKETS UNDER HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES AND LAUNCHED THEM AT ISRAEL TO STOP THE PEACE PROCESS... AND THE MOST DISGUSTING ASPECT OF ALL IS YOUR PEOPLES DENIAL THAT THE HOLOCOST EXISTED.
I KNOW, IT IS PAINFUL TO SEE THOSE PICTURES. IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE THAT HUMAN BEINGS COULD BE TREATED AS THEY WERE. ASK THE MAN WITH A TATOO ON HIS ARM OR GO TO A MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON OR BETTER YET...ISRAEL! WE WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE. SHALOM ALL.

Everyone should be praying for Israel. They are Gods chosen people and his chosen land. He will be back soon it's easy to see this if you read his words in the bible and pray and talk to him.

This war is going on for a reason. If people would read their bibles they would understand

israel has for near a hundred years been bombing and murdering palestinians.how do you think israel was created.the palestinians didn't invite the jews to create israel on their land. the jews have been terrorising the poor palestinian since the beginning.the arabs haven't even come close to the terror of the racist zionist.and now, when the palestinian freedom fighter resists this form of ethnic cleansing they get branded as a terrorist.the victim has been wrongly labelled the agressor and vise versa.so israel has always been the villian and the palestinian the victim.
