Gaza massacre
jade:
I cannot understand how there can be such intolerance. Why can't the palestinians and the israelis share the space they have. Why can't they live peacefully next to each other? Why do they need to deny each others' existence and rights? It would have benefitted both to live peacefully side by side. They both have rights to that land. How do other countries manage their multiracial society? It does not always end up in bloodshed.

I am a North American and I say with great shame that there is not enough awareness of all of this here - we don't ever hear this side of the story. Everything is filtered in order for us to only know one side of the story. We on this website, as a community cannot believe how this can happen - as we fight for life and survival how can we possibly understand this senseless destruction of human life??
Manal, it is so sad to hear that children are targeted. The people here would feel differently if we were allowed to know the truth.
Thank you all for enlightening me. I wish that terrorism would not occur anywhere. I agree with you Andy, the victims of one terrible crime in history are leaving a trail of decades of horrific crimes. How shameful.

I think you don't remember what Hizbullah did to Israel forces (most powerful) when they attacked Lebanon.
This is happening for the past 60 years in Kashmir (few of you know where it is), past 7 years in Afghanistan, past 5 years in Iraq and some other places. And guess what, in all these cases, the side under attack is outmatched from the attackers, but still they haven't quit and strong resistance is in place. Kashmir got an entire generation of young people wiped out, still thousands gather to protest. There is no end to it.

This is the reason Umair and I live in a terrorist state and now considered one of the most dangerous and unstable nuclear state. Because thats how our image is projected to the outside world.
--- Quote ---And people are wondering why do Palestinians become "terrorists"? well, they are driven to that. They have nothing to lose except their lives, their non-existence, because the life they live is no-life at all. The only weapon they have been left with, is themselves, their bodies and they make themselves human bombs.

Thats what this world likes to call ISLAMIC EXTREMIST. The truth is anyone belonging to any religion can be turned into a human bomb. All it takes is to create circumstances and use them to promote negative energy in the person and then give direction to that energy. I recently saw a movie "The Mist" which is a typical alien monster type movie but the concept shown in that movie is same as what i explained above.
Zaini:
I saw a dead body of a four years old Palestinian girl on news today,they were carrying it and crying out for justice,is there any justice left in this world? it made me miserable,i feel guilty i can't do anything about them,about anyone for that matter,when ever there are talks of war between India and Pakistan,i try not to loose my mind,there are like thousands of thals in India and Pakistan both, how would they survive,no one has the right to steal their shot at life,they have the right to live.
I accuse muslim govts for doing nothing,they are there sitting and watching,they can't do anything? They can't do anything to force Israel to stop this insanity? Kids are dying and there must be thals there,and not only thals but kids with other medical conditions too,a surgery with out anesthesia??? can you imagin it? This world is so sick.

Jade, if you revise history, you will find that this land belongs to the Palatinians and Isreral took over the land as a result of the Belfore declaration in 1917 at the time of the World War. This is colonization, you can not live peacefully with your colonizers, according to our beliefs you will have to defend your religion and land endlessly especially that Jeruslam is a sacred land for us. The land will be defended forever to the last day on earth and we will win at the end according to our beliefs, may be not now or in this age but the victory is coming
What aches my heart is the civilians, in old wars usually two armies fight, but now you find that children and civilaians are taken as human shields which i call war with no dignity. Will never in my life forget the child Muhammad al-Durrah whose father was begging on the ground an isreali soldier not to kill them and one of the brilliant photographers recorded what happened many years ago. The 10 years old kid was dying of horror from the soldiers and then the soliders shooted him in the head in his father lap, could you imagine how will his mother feel seeing her child being shot on TV, what threat could this boy do to the soldier
In the link below you will see the horror in his eyes, can you just be in his mother place

As for the word ''terriorist'' we have to dicriminate between two types, there are terrorist who are usually mercoinaries ( sorry for misspelling) and usually take money for their acts and behind their acts is a political background for their actions. Simply they are paid to destruct or cause insecurity in certain countries to give other countries excuse for certain actions to be done.
like what happened in 9/11, these were terrorist acts to give insecurity to the States leading them to attack Iraq to get rid of destructive nuclear weapons which were never ever found and the real reasons behind this were totally different and clear to everyone( many documentary films show how 9/11 was something planned and meant to be done in this way and how more than 1000 emplyee didn't go to world tade center at that day and how many fault things were said in the media, but again the media belongs to a certain lobby)
But there are also other people who the west also call ''terrorist '' that use their bodies as bombs to explode themselves. What the west does not know is that defending our religion and land is a pillar in our religion and you can go all the way for this cause because f you succeed you win your land and f you don't you will be rewarded by paradise so in both cases you win. That what the west does not and will never understand. When you are deprived of weapons to have a fare war you don't have except your body to use as a bomb. No soldier on earth will use his body as a bomb unless he has a belief that is why their trails will never stop cause you can not change a belief. Those people who have nothing in return for what they did are not terrorist, but they are believers.
Anyway i am sorry if i offended anyone but this was just my opinion. Nations are the only side that pay what goverments do from their dirty politics.. it is so dirty. At the end no one would love to live in wars, even the isreali people themselves ( the people not the government) are not in a better place, how can they be when parents don't know if they will have a chance to see their kids in the evening or not
If any of you wants to see the other part of the story that the media hides, send me your email
