cleric:
If civilians support a movement,hide and allows themselves to be used as human shields, then they deserve to die. Do you see how these 'civilians' jubilate when Hamas kills innocent Israeli civilians? Why not tell Hamas to target Israeli military bases instead of isreal's civilian population? Please when asking silly questions to one party, try to apply same questions to all parties concerned. Like I mentioned earlier, if one party takes an offensive, a retaliation of greater magnitude should be meted out. And by the way, those civilians were not Israeli targets, they were casualties of war unlike what your Hamas is doing by intentionally targeting civilians only. Perhaps when one of your family members who goes to study gets killed by a terrorist organisation in the name of making a statement, you will understand what it means to take a stand.
Please, enough said on sentimental comments.

realbee:
maybe you should read my comments again, obj is wrong and should hv been jailed for crime against humanity, israel is also wrong with their approach, either it is within or outside, mass killing of innocents just because you want to get to some few bad eggs is totally wrong, even during war, massive killing of innocents is frowned against, that is why we have war crimes.

Yes, a lot of Jews are also massive financial donors to politicians. People with Jewish ancestry have the highest number of billionaires per population - a lot of American, German, Polish, Russian, French, and British billionaires are Jews. He who pays the piper dictates the tune.

Also, it seems most of us are naive and we take the flowery words, eloquence, and articulation of these politicians seriously, rather than for face value. Most of them are just figure-heads for those who put them there, since all western countries have a certain path/doctrine they must adhere to. America's foreign policy, at the moment is controlled by Zbigniew Brzezinski's Grand Chessboard. And he can't really stray from that. However, that doesn't negate the fact that domestically, Obama has also been a failure. Even if I've not been following America's domestic politics of late, due to how fraudulent the whole thing is. I know the country's debts have doubled since Obama took over, and that means:he singlehandedly doubled the debts the country accumulated since independence - cray. And I also know the housing market in that country is dead - my aunt recently lost so much money on that.

Anyway, one thing I'll always give Obama, "Mr. Yes We Can," credit for, is that, he was able to touch so many people in 2008. That campaign coincided with when I started to develop interest in African/black history, and it kind of drew me into following international politics - and enlightenment. Without him, I probably wouldn't even know much today, apart from what's in the media. I can't even over-emphasise how Obama 2008 touched my life - and even my mates back then in uni. We're not even Americans, but seeing a black man contest in a Western country, especially the most powerful country in world, gave all of us hope - in the aspect of aiming higher than the sky. We followed his campaign and the election religiously. From watching Wolf Blitzer daily, to Anderson Cooper, to O'reilly factor, to Rachel Maddow's show, to Keith Olbermann's show, to everything on ABC. Heck, I bought his books: Dreams from my Father, and The Audacity of Hope.

These times, I get back from Uni everyday searching the web for what Roland Martin, Melissa Harris-Perry, Marc Lamont Hill and etc.have to say. And on the election night in 2008, it was a vigil - we were drinking all night, watching the projection on CNN. I'll never forget how Roland Martin was crying live on CNN, when Obama won. Heck, two of my boys also cried. And just seeing African Americans - young and old - shedding tears of joy touched me somewhere in Birmingham, UK. So, I'll never forget that, and how that moment inspired me to start aiming for the moon. He has let everyone down...but his election victory changed my life forever, and I'll forever be grateful to Barack Hussein Obama for what he added to my life in 2008. And 2008 was the year I started a complete turn-around in my life

chimkaire: A million of you and your Philistine brothers got nothing on Israel. Please, take note

SirShymex:

Yes, in western societies where there's a balance between capitalism and people oriented policies - the people wield some power. However, in a country like America, where only extreme capitalism thrives, and with how powerful the media is - it's a winner takes all mentality. Coupled with the divide. The highest bidder will always hold sway about 9 out of 10 times - the dollar dictates the tone. The power of the dollar is the American dream. That's why the interests of the plutocrats and banksters will always be protected.

Also, most times international politics is defined by a script with interests as the premise, and most western leaders have no say. They just have to keep following that script, unless there's a hiccup that requires a change in tactics - to avoid defeat/embarrassment.

Anyway, I don't think I can say much about America's domestic politics right now - I stopped following it time ago. However, I would say all the things you listed are more or less wishful thinking, especially higher taxes on the rich, and guns control. Yanks love their guns and you should see how the sales of AK47 soared two weeks ago after Obama sanctioned Russia. These folks love their guns.

Yes, Obama did his thing during that election campaign, and vying for that position against a cyborg like McCain and a perpetual airhead like Sarah Palin, kind of made him a more desired choice. And most young folks and hip-hop genration could relate to him. Also, the timing played a role as well, after Dubya destroyed the planet, with utter. However, Dubya looks like Einstein compared to Obama now.

I am not a Muslim so cut out that Muhammadan bullshit..

Israel are bullies and bullies don't deserve to live.

cheruv:
sympathy for weaklings who look for trouble and cry about being beaten can be blinding

Weaklings you call them..

They are fighting against a Nation that is openly and biasly backed by the Worlds Super power and the U.N is powerless to do anythign about it and you call them weaklings..

They are fighting against a Nuclear Weapons armed country with better and higher sophisticated weapons and you call them weaklings..

Let Iran enrich and weaponise their Uranium and lets see who the weakling truly is. You think the U.S is stupid for using the U.N and other Diplomatic means to stiffle Iran?! The day America withdraws its open support for Israel, thats the day we will know who the weakling in the Middle east truly is.

Femosticap:

from experience, only people with hogwash filled brains spew rubbish tantrums in intellectual discourse! fyi Mr 'Coogar', hamas rockets killed 2 Israelis, even before the invasion began. when you mess with a country that doesnt mess with the lives of its citizens, that is what you get!
Israel is not Nigeria punk! If you kill one of them, they will give you more than you can chew so shut the F up and suck your thumbs!
Im absoluetely gutted that I'm arguing with a nitwit who cant think!

GuyFawkes:

There goes another black african religious nutcase.
Since when did you become a Jew?wish the Zionists gave a fvck about you,since they are the chosen ones consider yourself the rejected ones.Brainwashed mofos always quoting the bible.....the same bible that serves as a manual for genocide going by the book of joshua.

Daresh:

FYI Hitler mocked the Jews for their docility. His claim was that they were like sheep and wont fight even when you slaughter them.

Did you hear of the Warsaw ghettos where the Jews fought Hitler?

It was Hitler that brought out the fighting spirit in the Jews and their decision to end centuries of torture, mass murder and expulsion.

I tire for all this anti-semitism. They Israelites are fighting for their right to live, to be alive!

delishpot: . I ask u, if some terrorists are firing frm an apartment building housing civilians in central Tel Aviv will d Israelis bomb it knowing there ar civilians?. If they can't do it in Tel Aviv, why should they be allowed to do it in gaza?.
[/b]

I nor Trust Isreal o, those people will bomb back o. The way their eyes dey red. They will bomb their mothers to heaven and back if it means saving the rest of their people and their land. Remember how Abraham for get mind to sacrifice his son?

What is in contention here is the injustice being meted out on the People of Palestine. The truth be told; it is modern day slavery. How can some people suddenly wake up and lay ancestral claim to another people's land. Let me put it in proper perspective; lets assume that the "French People" are the ancestors of the land called Nigeria in the BCs; and now they suddenly come up with the idea that Nigeria belongs to their ancestors and as a result they have the right to occupy Nigeria. This is exactly what Israel has done with the aid of America and the West. Check out the map of israel and you will find it lying in the middle of Palestine.
Israel may have all the sohisticated weaponry of this World; and Israel will keep bombing the people of Palestine and that won't deter them; because they wake up everyday to this injustice, to this oppression and that only strengthen their resolve. Waking up to see Israel keeping them under lock and key in their won land can only keep them angry and stronger in their resolve. Someday DAVID will defeat GOLIATH, it is question of time.

delishpot:

Hian, wetin I talk now? I am only saying those Israelites will do anything to keep that land. Did I say that I support the war? Biko I no get power jare. You are just talking out of passion so anything that is not applauding your idea you perceive as attack. You asked a question and I replied, did I say more? I even said if their father Abraham can agree to kill his only child what else won't they do?

JaaizTech:

I was trying to keep the real issues in perspective. To some who would rather look away now... What goes around comes around even if it takes centuries... it would come around. You used the word Terrorist to describe HAMAS, and that gave you away as someone whom isn't putting issues in proper perspective. HAMAS is a military wing fighting for the emancipation of Palestinian land, how that makes them Terrorist and Israel not a terrorist really baffles me.

Interesting..... if they are all going to heaven then we should all be happy for them then?

cleric:
I am sorry to say this but he is not. It is because the christians and liberals tolerate the massacres that is why terrorism is thriving. It is alright for hamas to bomb and kill israelis and when isreal retaliates with a greater force everyone cries that isreal is unfair. Rubbish. There are peaceful ways to get freedom and not by terrorising others. If they choose force, retaliate with greater force. If Jonathan had done the needful as regarding boko haram when they just started, Nigeria won't be in the mess it is right now.

GuyFawkes:

I read an interesting account of why American politicians continue support of Israel. It's simple math. While Jews represent less than 3% of the U.S. population, the majority live in the 10 states that control 241 of the 270 electoral votes and Jews all vote and they vote as a block. Add in the evangelical Christians, who are 70% of the GOP base, and you get 66% percent of Americans supporting Israel. Not a single politician in the U.S. could be elected without a pro-Israel stance. Not one. Not from either party.

uplawal: Anybody killed fighting for his property died the dead of a maryt,in Islam you dnt allow oppression of any kind,you resist it and suppress it,in as much as he dnt worship any other than Allah.
