		<description>RAMY: Please know your history before you speak. In 1948 when Israel became a state and not by force.
The Arabs that lived in the area FLED because they were thinking that the Jews would be exterminated eventually and they would return after. BUT NOBODY asked them to leave. There are millions of non Jews that live in Israel who chose to stay and they live well, their children go to schools and learn how to become Doctors and Lawyers and not Terrorists. 
So unless you know why they fled - unless you know the history don&#039;t pretend to know. Those are the same people who wanted the Jews exterminated and fled.</description>

		<description>CHARR, 

Stop crying about things which are unproven and here are facts which have been happening since the recent history and documented UN did not exist when these things you are claiming to have happened below is a list of facts: 

Nearly everything you’ve been led to believe about Gaza is wrong. Below are a few essential points that seem to be missing from the conversation, much of which has taken place in the press, about Israel’s attack on the Gaza Strip.

THE GAZANS 

Most of the people living in Gaza are not there by choice. The majority of the 1.5 million people crammed into the roughly 140 square miles of the Gaza Strip belong to families that came from towns and villages outside Gaza like Ashkelon and Beersheba. They were driven to Gaza by the Israeli Army in 1948.

THE OCCUPATION The Gazans have lived under Israeli occupation since the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel is still widely considered to be an occupying power, even though it removed its troops and settlers from the strip in 2005. Israel still controls access to the area, imports and exports, and the movement of people in and out. Israel has control over Gaza’s air space and sea coast, and its forces enter the area at will. As the occupying power, Israel has the responsibility under the Fourth Geneva Convention to see to the welfare of the civilian population of the Gaza Strip.

THE BLOCKADE 

Israel’s blockade of the strip, with the support of the United States and the European Union, has grown increasingly stringent since Hamas won the Palestinian Legislative Council elections in January 2006. Fuel, electricity, imports, exports and the movement of people in and out of the Strip have been slowly choked off, leading to life-threatening problems of sanitation, health, water supply and transportation.

The blockade has subjected many to unemployment, penury and malnutrition. This amounts to the collective punishment — with the tacit support of the United States — of a civilian population for exercising its democratic rights.

THE CEASE-FIRE 

Lifting the blockade, along with a cessation of rocket fire, was one of the key terms of the June cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. This accord led to a reduction in rockets fired from Gaza from hundreds in May and June to a total of less than 20 in the subsequent four months (according to Israeli government figures). The cease-fire broke down when Israeli forces launched major air and ground attacks in early November; six Hamas operatives were reported killed.

WAR CRIMES: 

The targeting of civilians, whether by Hamas or by Israel, is potentially a war crime. Every human life is precious. But the numbers speak for themselves: Nearly 700 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed since the conflict broke out at the end of last year. In contrast, there have been around a dozen Israelis killed, many of them soldiers. Negotiation is a much more effective way to deal with rockets and other forms of violence. This might have been able to happen had Israel fulfilled the terms of the June cease-fire and lifted its blockade of the Gaza Strip.

It might be a matter of security for Israel but this is a matter of existence for the palestinians</description>

		<description>IF CNN WANTS TO GIVE ONE SIDED NEWS LET ME BALANCE THAT
HERE IS THE REAL HISTORY PLEASE READ IT.
These are incredible times. We have to ask what our role should be.  What will we tell our grandchildren about we did to make a difference?


It&#039;s our land...By: Benjamin Netanyahu
 
Apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview and was asked about Israel&#039;s occupation of Arab lands.
His response was &quot;It&#039;s our land&quot;. 
The reporter (CNN or the like) was stunned - read below &quot;It&#039;s our land...&quot;  It&#039;s important information since we don&#039;t get fair and accurate reporting from the media and facts tend to get lost in the jumble of daily events.
&quot;Crash Course on the Arab Israeli Conflict.&quot;
Here are overlooked facts in the current Middle East situation.
These were compiled by a Christian university professor:
 
BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY....  ( 
It takes just a couple of minutes to read!!!! )
It makes sense and it&#039;s not slanted. Jew and non-Jew -- it doesn&#039;t matter.
 
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem. Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, Two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10 The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000.     The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab la nds to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people&#039;s lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey .
13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO&#039;s Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed againstIsrael.
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.</description>

		<description>Hamas needs to be eliminated from the face of the Earth. It is an organization designed to deliver death, to Israelis and Palestinians, in its quest to incite a holy war against Jews. No compromise, concession, or unilateral withdrawal by Israel will quench Hamas’ thirst for blood. It uses its own people as political pawns, allowing them to die of treatable wounds in order to leverage the right to bring more missiles into Gaza from Egypt. These people are animals who are motivated by one thing: hate. Enough.</description>

		<description>CNN has to stop reporting ONE SIDED information about the middle east.
What is CNNs agenda?
Are they on a PAy to Play plan?
I am going to do an e-mail blast and other things to stop CNN from its one sided news about the Middle east.

If you want the facts here they are:
http://cgis.jpost.com/Blogs/dershowitz/entry/israel_s_actions_are_lawful
Israel&#039;s actions are lawful and commendable 
Israel&#039;s military actions in Gaza are entirely justified under international law, and Israel should be commended for its act of self-defense against international terrorism. Article 51 of the United Nations Charter reserves to every nation the right to engage in self-defense against armed attacks. The only limitation international law places on a democracy is that its actions must satisfy the principle of proportionality. Israel&#039;s actions certainly satisfy that principles.  Please read the link.</description>

		<description>It is about time that the world will understand that Israel has full right to defend itself. What will you do if for 5-8 years you keep being bombed by rockets? so that is the Israelies are doing what they are doing.
Beside, Hamas does not care of its own people, isn&#039;t that clear?</description>

		<description>Good!  It&#039;s about time the Israelites to that snake pit to cull some of them out.  Cowards, devils in human form who hide behind the skirts of women and schools to daily fire rockets at deliberate civilian targets.  Israel should never have given up Gaza...they were firing at them as they left with their belongings on their backs.  It is all their land anyway, historically, scripturally, and prophetically.  Just because Rome ransacked them in 70 AD doesn&#039;t mean they should lose their land.  Even England, France and Germany got theirs back.</description>
