yup!, that is the same way I feel.

Funny how the press jumps on this story.
What they fail to mention is how come there is even a school open during all this.

Oh and don't mention the Hamas Missile launcher on school grounds.
Brave men those Terrorists. Using Children as a shield.

This is simply dumb!!! (2nd paragraph)

Firstly, I'd like to answer DominicanChic's Comments:
The Dominican Republic is not Israel; We won our independence by armed struggle; The UN, Britain, the Allies did not hand us our sovereign nation; We fought quite a few bloody battles; UNLIKE the Israeli's (Ben Gurion, et al) who were terrotist, who once blew up a hotel The King David, full of Europeans. These are two different cases. As far as NGo's are concerned, it behooves Haiti to look for its citizen's interest, DR's priorities are its own natives; not the neighbor's poor. Haiti never owned the Island. Our ancestors first inhabited the eastern area; Then Europen settlers colonized it; Then, eventually the criollos maintained it until the huge influx of Bucaneers, Pirates, etc, that commandeered La Isla Tortuga, and eventually the western sector. They then brought hundreds of thousands of slaves from Africa to support their "new found profession" farming; Pirates turned plantation masters? And the rest is history. We on our side have been here since day one, and have fought perpatrators who have attempted to swindle, hood-wink us, and invade our little bit of dirt.
No se puede con la fuerza lograr nada? Lo siento DominicanChic. Masacre y Artibonito son barreras desde long time, mi vida! Many travel out of the Country legally; But, when this invasion comes to a "struggling nation"? This is intolerable!

Now, back to the article above that started the ball rolling; Good Article Cibao; But, I think it's like a case of circle-jerk rhetoric; In which you start out with one thought, then you waiver to the other extreme. Yet, at the end the reader is lost as to what it was said; Or, was intended to communicate.
It's one big glob of gobbledegook .
Israel is wrong in the way they willy-nilly retaliate; I remember that in the 70's they conducted a surgical mission in Uganda; They supposedly went in freed hostages, etc. It was a bang-up job!
Why can't they handle their Semite cousins with the same restraint, and prescision? They have a tendency to throw out the baby with the bath water, when it comes to Palestinians. Not all Jews are alike, many are the largest critics of this Zionist blindness. Some of the Hasidim, some of the Sabra (Israeli born jews), and some other Jews of the Diaspora greatly critize the tatics that Israel has used since 1948. When the Jews didn't have a homeland (before 1948) most of the Sephardic Jews lived among the Muslim countries where they were treated as equal with the Arabs. Now, when the Balfour Treaty was passed most of the Askenazi Jews who never lived in the Levant, came to Palestine and became pugnacious- what you see happening with Gaza. Many European Jews once came to DR seeking asylum after WWII, and Trujillo took in quite a few of them. They lived in Sosua, on the northern coast; But, back to Israel: They are ruthless when they can be surgical; Afterall, the Mossad, and the Isreali Forces have the Nuclear Bomb; They have money, they have international clout; They can live anywhere they want; New York, Buenos Aires, Miami, Los Angeles, Moscow, etc. Yet, these poor Palestinians are from that same land where they are pushed from. There's got to be a better way. The modern day Samaritans need food, electricity, freedom, and space. The U.N. started this problem; And it has never been solved. It's called nation building!

You're right on target, Antonio;

Here we go again....Here, we, goooooo,........

The Duracell Rabbit....Keeps going, and going.

Israel is not going to stop until Hamas is totally destroyed. The UN school was being used by Hamas to launch rockets and hide. Israel did the right thing. Innocents always die in war which is sad but reality. Sorry we don't live in fantasy land where everything is perfect.

Kill all of the terrorists until there is not one left. Hamas is a terrorist organization that needs to be destroyed. Let's not make this more complicated than it is. Maybe if a Hamas rocket killed your son/daughter while you and your family were visiting Israel you'd feel different.

The Palestinian land being stolen is wrong. Israel deserves a country just as much as the Palestinians do. Technically, the Indians are the real owners of the American land. Should Indians rule America because of this?

I was following you until your last sentence/question. If you're going to equate the palestinians with the Native Americans, then the former is f*cked for good.

I have a question, what would you do if your home was bull-dozed( while you were sleeping) by soldiers looking for your "terrorist son" and in the process killed your 4 young children?

No one is innocent in this. One's man terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

By the way, when was the last time you had to get permission or show ID to go to your neighboring city and/or state?

I agree kmnupe, I would liked someone to point out the difference betweent the apartheid system they had in south Africa and the present situation in the palestinian territories. How can there be peace when israel will not abide with the UN 148 resolutions, might is not right when it is used for collective punishment.

If you feel Hamas are freedom fighters then you do not understand what terrorists are or you are very misinformed or at the very least extremely biased or all three.

Bottom lin is IDF is going to destroy Hamas and there is nothing you can do about it. Bombs away!
