They’re pushing this quite “Eilat”.

Unlike Kerry, he has to actually live there. Which might be part of the reason why he values the security of his country over empty and temporary P.R. moments.

The toon is just the true story. Bibi and friends never want people to forget the Warsaw Ghetto experience of the Jews, by replicating the same situation, with a little more brutality and more attacks on civilians, in Gaza.

How many innocent women, children have to die, and how many UN schools have to explode, for Bibi to be convinced e has eliminated Hamas’ ability to wage war? All the population of Gaza? In that case, 800 down, 1,999,200 to go.

In their charter, Hamas advocates the destruction of Israel. How do you negotiate a peace deal with an entity like that?

It seems to me that Israel has fallen into the trap of identifying with a persecutor. .Like a son that hates his Father for being abusive and turns out to do the same to his child. .Israel’s strength is a call for it to act with some compassion and fairness. This is the way to peace and security for all of the people in this region, and perhaps the world.

Or Greenland…not too populated, so no one to kick off their land (or put in a crowded ghetto). AND with global climate change going the way it is, they would really have lucked out!!!

Seems to me that this problem would have disappeared a long time ago if the apartheid policies of Israel had changed…Palestinians long ago showed a willingness to accept the “State of Israel”…but, NOT the “Jewish State of Israel”…where in all Palestinians (and other non-Jews) would continue to be “second class citizens!”

I hear that Egypt and Saudi Arabia are on Israel’s side on this one.

He only comes out when his country is fired upon. Fair enough, isn’t it?

personally Israel should have been created in Madagascar. and all the Eastern European and Soviet Jews could have been sent there

It’s interesting how often the abused becomes an abuser

What has been (unfortunately) most interesting about this whole affair is while the right here is firmly united for Israel the left is divided. The “official” leftist position is for Israel to roll over and die, but many liberals disagree.

O.K., we get it. (New panel, please…)

Poor misunderstood Hamas, they just want peace, right?

Second class citizens WILL win out over both Hamas AND Mossad…
