They were persecuted by the early Christians and later the Nazis in Germany, then decided to return to their place of origin, where they are now persecuted by the Islamic world, short-sighted Americans and others, including Hamas. The jewish people have suffered more than any people in history, and now for others--with good intentions--who claim the Israelis are just murderering bullys is an outrage to all sensible people in the world who also want to see a peaceful solution for all the people in the middle-east.

You make this conflict seem very straight-forward and simple with your comparisons. However, I beg to differ. There is nothing simple about this conflict which goes back thousands of years. Do you get that? In danger of continuing the simplification consider that both peoples have ancient bonds to the land. That Israel as you know it today was created by the world community as an afterthought of the terrors of World War II. In the years it has gone back and forth. Most of the people in Gaza alive today have known nothing but war and killings and utter suppression - they have grown up with Israel moving in with illegal settlements. As the Israelis have suffered from hatred for so long. This is not a matter of self defense! Alan, Texas Teacher et al.

It is OK to support Israel in some circumstances, but supporting Israel so openly in this particular situation is careless and not diplomatically correct. Speaker Pelosi should know that Arabs people feel so humiliated and insulted right now. Such resolution could give extremist and terrorist groups good argument for recruiting terrorists in the name of Jihad in order attack us. We don't need it. It could also show disrespect and disregard to arab lives. I am not sure that it helps Israel either if every one starts showing its support so openly.

Not the people and countries they are attacking... religious fanatics are criminal, nothing less! Meh.... if someone, anyone... terrorist/s was just across the border in Canada or Mexico firing bombs into our country day after day after day, we would bomb them off the face of the earth! And we would do it so fast, they would not know what hit them! And if those countries harbored those terrorists, we would probably be in all out war!

Seriously, Man! Get your head out of these poor victims story! No one wants the common people killed! That is probably what has kept Israel from doing this sooner! But if those people harbor terrorists who are bombing their neighbors, then they have to take heat! It sickens me that these people cannot see that it is terrorists who are destroying them!....

Let's get a few things straight. Palestinians=Syrians. "It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria." — Ahmed Shukairy, United Nations Security Council, 1956. There is not and never has been a "Palestinian State", Palestine is a geographical reference. Pre 1948 a few jews were sprinkled here and there in the area but they purchased land and began turning desert into fertile land. In 1948 when the UN created the "Jewish State" they also set aside land for the Palestinians. Funny how their arab brethern, Jordan & Egypt, annexed the west bank and gaza and told the palestinians they were not setting up shop in either area. We can go on for days with who did what, ultimately you come to the same conclusion: both sides, since the creation of the "jewish state", always point to the other's bad behavior to justify thheir own bad behavior. The bottom line is this: until both the palestinians & jews agree that the price they pay to live peacefully side by side is exponentially lower than the price they are paying now neither will live in peace.
