I am watching the webcam right now. Bombs going off and a rooster is crowing. This is very unsettling. Very eerie and much different than watching news coverage on TV. This seems so much more real because it's in real time. It must be hell in Gaza.

All that's missing are some cheerleaders, hotdog venders, and handing out little flags to wave and cheer when someone dies.
Not all Israelis. Just like not all Americans camped out on their sofa with their popcorn to watch the arrival of "Shock-and-Awe."

And these pro-Israelis have got the nerve to harp on about some palestinians cheering upon hearing about 9/11. This is just as bad..maybe even worse coz their fellow citizens are involved in the carnage. No more pot calling the black in future i hope.

You will never or very rarely hear me use terms like "every and all", as I have posted many examples of Jewish peace organizations opposed to this conflict. In fact I applaud the efforts of Jews and Muslims alike who wish to find a different solution than human slaughter.

However, it went with my theme that I find most people to be little more than hairless monkey's and barbarians, after all, what kind of human being would turn such a thing into a spectator sport, its disgusting.

So it is wrong when Israeli's do it, it was also wrong when a bunch of Muslims cheered in the streets when thousands of American's died for no other reason than being American. Two wrongs don't make a right and no amount of rationalization or excuse can forgive the indefensible. If Hamas wanted to work towards being legitimized, then it should have taken a route other than lobbing crude missiles into Israel and punching the tiger in the face. Sadly, the Palestinian people will pay for the mistake of electing Hamas with the blood of their children, this should bring no person joy.

I guess years of having rockets landing on your home will do that to a person.

Why would anyone want to join or emulate terrorist in the first place? There is no way to rationalize turning war into a spectator sport.

Do your research.. and see who owns the big media Co.
I agree, but I'm kinda more interested in where the rockets were manufactured. Doubt they have a factory in palestine, huh?

Maybe if they bombed the manufacturer(s) instead?

I wonder what the people who worked in the factory that built those weapons think of their life's work today?
