Genocide caused by Israel in Palestine

See All Images

For the past one week, the world has been watching with extreme horror as Israeli military is allowed to carry out a Holocaust in Gaza of innocent Palestinian women and children. What is even more shocking is that the indiscriminate genocide of Palestinians by Israel is going on under the eyes of the world while it does nothing. The Europeans, the Americans, heck even the Arab leaders have so far been overly quiet and have done virtually nothing to stop Israel from carrying out this heinous crime.

The biggest disappointment has been the Bush Administration in USA. Yet again they have shown that they are the very fuel that ignites fire in the Middle East rather than harbinger of peace. Secretary of State, Condelissa Rice will also be remembered as a hypocrite and heartless when it comes to Middle East. All her statements that they will do everything to bring peace in Middle East have some how ended up causing yet another conflict which has inadvertently taken the lives of thousands of innocent women and children in the Middle East. It is no secret that the Middle Eastern people are looking forward to January 21st when President George BushGeorge Bush and his team will step down to make room for new ideas and fresh approach led by President-elect Barak ObamaBarak Obama.

This war has caused a humanitarian crisis of the order not seen since Milosovic led Serbians killed and maimed thousands of Bosnians in the 1990s. It is no different from Saddam HusseinSaddam Hussein bombing Kurds in Northern Iraq. Heck, it is no different from Darfur where Africans are being singled out and killed due to their ethnicity and religion. Will the world stand up and charge the Israeli Prime Minister with War Crimes in Gaza? Will we, as citizens of the world, have the strength to take him to International Court of Justice and make him pay for his actions against helpless and powerless Gaza citizens?

To better understand the conflict in the Middle East I recommend all to read Former US President Jimmy CarterJimmy Carter's book, “Palestine, Peace not Apartheid” . Where he aptly talks about the missteps taken by Israel in elongating this conflict and failing to live up to their promise of giving Palestine their right of self rule.

We must speak out to our leaders, our Senators, our congressmen. We must register our opposition to this war and make sure Israeli government backs down and accepts the fact that they are aggressors of the worst kind the world has ever seen. We must act before all Palestinians are killed and bull dozed out of Palestine by the Israeli military.

Are you Kidding!!!! They dropped leaflets to warn of the onslot. Do you honestly believe that this a war crime? Do you also believe that Isreal and their people do not matter? That it is ok for Hamas to launch rockets into Isreal and kill innocent people, and children. That Hamas dont deserve the punishment that they are getting. You honestly seem to think that just because they hide in the confines of woman and children that there isn't going to be collateral damage. Terrorists are the ones that hide among the unknown, and that send woman and children to be suicide bombers. Yet, the world is blinded by that fact.

the fact is the r fighting to get back the land which was taken from them..look at the death count,who's the real victim here?the american's trying to reap the best out of the oil rich continent are making their best effort to fuel the tension in the middle east..just becoz the jewish army wearing uniform n stuff means they have the license to kill anyone..the palestinian cant possibly match up to their military power(back by the yankee's of course) can they?the only way for them to make the world notice is by suicide bombing..now i am all againts that but still i kinda understand the situation where they are push to the limit..the world failed to acknowledge the significance of the palestine-israel conflict and furthermore failed to act..

One wrong does not make another right. If Israel claims that Hamas has broken the law, then Israel MUST not brake it themselves. Currently, they are worse than Hamas when it comes to collateral damage. I have virtually no sympathies for Israelis now. They are no different from any terrorists around the world.

Your right about Isreal if they are using WMD as stated from another report than they are over-stepping their boundaries. I dont think it is right to explode the situation worse. Innocent people should be thought of when military strategic planning goes into effect. It should be thought that collateral damage should be as low as possible, and be avoided at all cost. Except, if you are in a situation to lose your life.

Overstepping their boundaries. u think. It is absurd. Modern supplied US weapons vs. Hammas (by the way Hammas was elected into office something we in the US like to refer to as democracy, but seldom support it in the rest of the world or even here for that matter. This is nothing more than modern day butchering of people or the Israelis refer to as terrorists. See if you call them terrorists then it is perfectly alright to murder any, and all, because they are simple terrorists not human. Its amazing to me how most of the media has done a great job in making many believe that somehow it is Israel and its people who are the victims. I was watching CNN last week, by the way it was extremly upsetting to me, because it was focusing mostly on these rocket attacks coming from Gaza. Of course there were no victims as we know, but the majority of the coverage focused on these rockets, and how innocent civilians were being effected. A few seconds was provided for the true victims. CNN reported that over 200 Palestianians had been killed, however, most of them were militants. What a bunch of crap they feed us. This whole thing remains me of what happened to many of the native americans that lived in the US. Basically they were herded up by force, and giving the worst plot of land to live on. Basically rot away in a life filled with extreme poverty. Good job chosen ones for doing your part in ensuring that our children will grow up in a world filled with more hurt, hatred, and violence. However, I am sure some where in your scripture you will find a clause or maybe even a modification that supports your atrocities in Gaza.

I survived the war in Bosnia. I was a child and I watched those around me die while the world didn't do anything. Now, again I see children die while the world does nothing. This needs to stop. Jews have learned nothing. I guess this just proves that Hitler was right all along. Israelis are obviously the greediest, nastiest nation with no morals. They don't care that a 5 year old child will die, or watch it's parents die. Education!!! Education is the key. Israelis should have known better.

I agree.
But would you like to know why they don't care that a 5 year old child is killed by their war machine? It's because it's inherent in their religious believes. Here are a couple of quotes from the Talmud, their holiest of holy books:
Yebamoth 98a. "All gentile children are animals."
Abodah Zarah 36b. "Gentile girls are in a state of niddah (filth) from birth."

you want anonther?.. Here:
Sanhedrin 57a . "When a Jew murders a gentile, there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep."
Baba Kamma 37b. "The gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has "exposed their money to Israel."

There are hundreds more. Does this explain why Israel is very casually killing Palestinians?
BTW, I challenge ANYONE to dispute that those statements exist in the Talmud.
