this shows that there are many a good Muslims in the world who are tired of getting a bad rep because of a few bad apples. I hope many others step forward and criticize Hamas as well. That doesn't mean that Israel doesn't deserve criticism as well. Maybe pressure on both sides will lead them to the peace table.

Both sides are responsible, without a doubt:

Israel for sealing the exits and boxing in the civilians with Hamas.

Hamas for defending Palestinians from Israel's border expansions in the completely wrong way by attacking Israeli civilians too.

Sounds right to me. The weakest are great pawns in the great game of person-on-person atrocity. And if they don't like it? Who they gona call?

Well,I don't think I like hamas anymore.I don't care how tasty it is with pita bread!!!
Seriously tho its good to see that people are seeing the slimy games being played.People are seeing beyond the propaganda.

anyone else see Hareetz has changed alot?

Basically the newspaper was failing and only being non-pro-palestine was the way for them to sell.

nuff said!

I might be an idiot, but one can't make lemonade with apples, just as one can't filter a city's water supply with Brita filters.

Gazans have been working with nothing, courtesy of the Israeli blockade, all they could work with was things smuggled in through tunnels.

And some people think it's Hama's fault, just because they don't bow down to the Israelis to kiss their feet to get trinkets in return?

Hamas was elected, because they had the trust of the people to do a good job, you will not hear in MSM that Hamas has been doing a far better job than Fatah, which is an unforgivable embarrassment to Israel and the US.

The Canadian Muslim Congress are self-serving cowards, I'm a Canadian of European descent and I say they are cowards for not standing up to this aggressive, violent land grab quest by the Zionists.

The Zionists simply want Palestians out of Gaza so they can have the 'holiest' piece of land on Earth, pure and simple.

Hey lets just kick Hamas out and place a Zionist puppet in place, that will improve things

And whoever blames muslims for being anti-semitic or ant-jews must be a total ignorant , because the muslims during the ottoman empire protected and saved the jews who where tortured and kicked out from Europe ! Please read history , and until nowadays there are thousands of jews living in Morocco , Egypt and many arab countries , if muslims were bad people , extremists , etc .. as the zionist propaganda is trying to show you to fool and brainwash you , they would have killed all jews in arab countries !
The zionists have caused world war 1 and ww2 , and their are working for ww3 , hamas wasn't then before ww1 , but they had to put the blames on someone of course ... bla bla bla oh yee we beleive you ...
respect to the peaceful jews , critians ; muslims , and all decent , sincere people , and hell to the liers and killers of children ..
