The Jews are definitely a "race." But apparently the irony of "targeted killings" via air power has escaped the vast majority of readers here. Because if Israeli air power is so "targeted" then Israel wouldn't have slaughtered nearly 700 innocent civilians in Gaza thus far [out of the more than 1,050 killed]. Right? Or is Israel intentionally slaughtering civilians? And, Israel wouldn't have made the "grave mistake" [Ehud Barak's words] of bombing hospitals, ambulances and now the UN Aid Center, with more than 700 civilians hiding inside for shelter from the bombing--and since the Israelis knew full well of the location of the UN Aid Center--like they knew full well of the school, in which 40 people were killed, and the UN observation center during the Lebanon attack, which killed 4 UN observers were killed, the question arises: If Israeli Air Power is so "targeted" did they intentionally bomb these sites in order to intentionally kill innocent civilians? Or is Israeli "targeted" air power just another myth?

Pete,
Come to Israel. See what it’s like. Then go to Ramallah or Bethelehem -see what it’s like.

Put up or shut up.

Pete, you are simply a misguided fool! Israel has agreed to concessions time and time again and have been turned down again and again. THis is a simple FACT. The people of Palestine are in control of the situation. Stop firing mortars and rockets into Israel, recognize israel and stop supporting suicide attacks. Do this and Israel wouldnt be there with tanks right now. The simple fact is Israel did not create the situation, rather they are dealing with the situation given to them by the Palestinians.

19. Pete: – “As regards “jew hater” that is not the case, I would say balanced observer is more accurate.”

Oh and calling for killing jews in countries around the world is better?Thats the real advocates of genocide.These are Hamas supporters btw using freedom of expression to promote genocide against those who expressed support for Israel which is my right as a citizen in a democracy.I still refuse to call for the destruction of Palestinians since we,the jews, are above calls for genocide of others.Most Palestinians want no part of Hamas but are quite powerless to do anything about it.Stick that in your double-speak pipe and smoke it terrorist supporters.

Why comment:-

What rubbish, of course Jews are a race of people, just like Americans unless you feel that the only Jewish people are religous ones.

You look for racism where it is not present, I have always admired Isreal, but at the moment I feel they and their US supporters are acting immorally.

They are persecuting another group of people like they were persecuted, what next will they be looking for a “final solution” to rid themselves of the Palestinians.

It is disgusting and people like you continue to make excuses for this slaughter

Pete,

Jews are not a “race”. They are all types of people who adhere to a religious belief. Your Freudian slip speaks volumes.

Utopia Parkway:-

Unfortunately you only have a “johnny come lately” understanding of this conflict.

Israel now occupies much of the land that was once Palestinian, although international recognition of Palestine would help, it should be from the original borders laid down from the 50’s and not that narrow strip of land they now occupy.

You are unfortunately like most, unquestioning of the US, Israel and the situation in general.

It amazes me that on this site genocide of the Palestinians is freely bandied about, shame on you.

Both sides are wrong and both sides are hurting, until that is recognised there will be no settlement
