Israel broke the latest ceasefire early in November 2008BBSNews 2009-01-01 -- By Michael Hess. Western press have recently and erroneously reported that Hamas broke a six month ceasefire even as most reported in November 2008 that Israel itself first broke the informal truce. In recent days Prime Minister Olmert has tied the end of the current attacks by Israel on Gaza to an international "monitoring" force to ensure that Hamas meets terms of a new ceasefire. Some of the early pre-strike tactics have been questioned by officials, and it is unlikely this latest conflict will resolve anything because it does not address the root cause, the ongoing occupations.
In this decades long occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem there have been many lulls that lapse into tit for tat violence and then creep back into lulls again.
In the most recent case, Hamas and Israel came to an informal agreement in June 2008 where Hamas would halt rocket fire and reign in various militant factions in the Strip while at the same time opening border crossings....

Please tell us how badly Jews have been treated and how kind they are to others.
It seems Israel with the USA's blessing can do no wrong. Might is Right--Hermann Goering spoke the truth.

I haven't been here for a while and have by far not read all the posts, so it is possible that the following essay has already been posted here - in that case I apologize for repeating it.

This essay goes way back and lists all the persecutions of the Jewish people by Christians and non-Christians, with reasons of why given.
As it appears presently and in the recent history it seems the Jews are a domineering kind of people. If one considers however how over the past 2000 years the Jews have been treated, one cannot help but wonder, if these conflicts between Jews and other groups has developed something like a subconscious urge that carries itself through the generations to this very day... like a tit for tat.
Right now it is the Palestinians who bear the brunt of the Jews anger; before it was the Jews being persecuted by the Germans; before that it was the Jews (Bolsheviks) killing the Russians and so on down the history lane.
It is just a thought of mine to find a reason for these agonizing conflicts going on and on forever. What would it take to finally stop the atrocities against each other? Would the Jews be satisfied and happy once they have all of Palestine as their homeland?
Could the Palestinians for their own good and survival finally comprehend that they have to let go and rather be assimilated by other Arab states?
I also find it funny for a German to be saying maybe the Jews deserve to be persecuted everywhere they go.

During the Russian revolution Jews were resposible for millions of deaths in Russia.Zz. I suggest you prove otherwise. Your Zionist opinion is worthless.
In the end if jews are successful they will kill each other--just as they cheat each other now. The Ashkenazi have already killed and suppressed other sects.
Jewish boys go to Hebrew school where they are indoctrinated and when they go to university they occupy a section in the cafeteria-Jews only. A matter of self defense? Many Jews are very kind people that work hard and contribute. Large numbers of Jews throughout the world se the Zionists for what they are. Zionists need democracies so that with banking wealth they are able to purchase poleticians and control countries such as the USA, Germany, Canada--- Arab countries such as Egypt, Jordan, Israel Saudi Arabia---rely on the Jewish controlled USA to keep the leaders in power. Abbas is the Palestinian
Jewish chosen one.

THE ARABS WILL KILL A WOMAN FOR SMILING AT ANOTHER MAN.

Zzarchov:Zzarchov, where did I say that? I don't recall even thinking that..

A quick search in the court records would verify that this specific crime is not restricted to one certain group of people, that crime can (and has) happen in any group of people, in fact it can be called many times. There are many dead bodies before the crimes are over.
Even Western women have had the vote less than 100 years and physical abuse is often the reason for divorces. Are you including those facts when pointing out how 'primitive' Arabs are? Every section of mankind would qualify as being 'primitive'. We may have laws about human rights but the enforcement comes after an infraction. Civilized would mean the incidents don't happen at all.

I apologize, upon re-reading the post in question I see you are referring to if the Jewish Palestinians (Israel) are now taking out past aggressions against their culture, onto others.
I would like to address that point, but the first thing I should deal with is my apologies to you, I was wrong and in my error slandered you, I apologize.
Simply reading the comments, or listening to interviews with the "person on the street" in Israel it becomes very apparent that no one in Israel (who are not all Jews anymore than Canada is all white Christians) really wants to see anything bad happen to Palestinians.
They just want to be left alone. Thats why they gave back Sinai, thats why they left Gaza unilaterally.

...As for women punishment in North America you will never be able to show and axiomatic picture depicting a woman in North America treated like as if she was in the Middle East, who is a accused of adultery, they berried her alive to the neck and stone her head to death.
That is not seen in civilized countries, only in the Arab world...
Brutal, and cruel to boot.
Or what about genital mutilation thus controlling the girls sexual human feelings?
All that is nothing but bent, and this is why the Arab is the aggressor of the Middle East.

Loon,
As a general rule: A site called "Jew Watch" isn't going to be reputable. The site was created with the intent to be biased against Jews.
Likewise, alot of the articles are not properly cited, they merely claim to be.
This is similar to a thread further down, with a post attributed to Rooney from 60 minutes, when in fact he said no such thing.
While it all appears very legitimate, the simple fact is that alot of it is blatant lies. I would recoment an encyclopedia, of wikipedia if you want to ensure there is no organizational bias.

I love your kind and feeling heart, Socrates! You are a good man and would never participate nor stand by idle in these brutalities. But look, what your "civilized" countries are capable of ....

I think we should not point fingers, but rather clean up our own acts first, then we can lead by being a good example. To go there and butcher their men, women and children; destroy their land and belongings... isn't looking good on us either.

So if someone says negative things about a jew it is not a racial slur nor is it anti-Semitic. Is that correct Cliffy?

What is clear is that the other Bolsheviks who brought Lenin to power was at least 85%-90% Jewish, and Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler were both in agreement that the USSR was the product of Jewish intrigue, power, and wealth, and that Bolshevism represented a world catastrophe engineered by International Jews who were engaged in the deconstruction of Christendom -- i.e., they wanted to destroy Western Civilization and culture.
Western civilization and culture would be a good idea. I was born a catholic but i no longer have any religious affiliations. Many of, if not most of those involved in Russia may have been born of Jewish parents, but I doubt any of them were practicing Jews. A Jew belongs to a religion. He doesn't belong to a race.

Yes I agree the lesson starts from home, in hope to educate the rest. I agree I have been a little on the offensive towards the Arab mentality but, I can't let the majority of Arabs who hate the Jews try to convince the west that the Jew is the problem, as we all know it takes two to tango. However I hope peace can prevail in the middle East where Arabs and Jews can harmonize with one another. The likelihood of that of course is very remote. Defense is a right not a privilege, and I am sure the Jews will survive the Middle East adversity (hate from the Arab world).

Hi, Socrates, I suspect you could be Jewish and are therefore standing up for them. Perhaps your sense of right and wrong in the Israeli occupied region is more acute than mine, as I am not connected to either group -Jews or Arabs. From the facts I know, which are well documented, it seems to me the Jews are in the wrong by taking the land from the Palestinians, that is, more land than was originally allotted them. From that fact alone I can understand the hostilities from the beleaguered Palestinians. The Arabs are probably asking, "why us?; why do the Western countries not give them a chunk of their land?"
You say, "defense is a right, not a privilege." Do you grant that right to the Jews only?
