Organize a protest and hit the streets.  The only way to support the troops is to prevent them from being sent to die in an elective war that can't be won on our own.

Yes, but I don't expect it to happen. The US supports Israel, regardless of what they do. They regularly veto resolutions against Israel in the UN. They support Israel, the 6th richest country in the world, with 1/3 third of all foreign aid. The Pro-Israel lobby is the largest lobbying group in Washington. We are not interested in solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because it makes our weapons suppliers a lot of money.\n\nWe overthrow governments to install democracy, but when Palestine democratically elected Hamas, we refuse to deal with them. The hypocrisy is laughable.\n\nWe need to not take sides in the conflict. It is not our fight. Supporting one side while chastising the other is not the way to achieve peace.

Some are fighting about issues related to the Palestinians.  Some are fighting about issues of government representation and repression.  Some are fighting about ethnicity.  Some are fighting about interpretations of the Koran.  Some are fighting about borders and sovereignty.  Some are fighting about invasion by external forces.  Some are fighting about secularism versus religiosity.\n\nDoes this help?

Why not end all economic and military support to Palestine until Palestinians stop blowing up israeli CIVILIANS??? as opposed to israel's targeting of terrorists only.\nIn addition to what I wrote before the palestinians don'e even belong there in there first place, in 1917 the british received a mandate on palestine from the league of nations to prepare palestine as the jewish homeland, palestine at the time included all of Palestine, Israel and Jordan of today, at one point the british rewarded the hashemites for helping them in Saudi Arabia by giving them Jordan (Which was not theirs to give!!!) and even so the palestinians want more and more of Israel, Why don't they just go to Jordan which is 85% palestinian anyways!!!!!!

No they are not. The Palestinians are just a band of displaced Arabs of different tribes having a go at Israel. If they left Israel alone there would be no trouble. The Palestinians are egged on by Syria. The British and Americans should support Israel and not a stupid bunch of Arabs that deserve all they get! The trouble is that the lefties and poofters and dregs of our own society support Palestinians to take the heat off themselves.

Not practical. There are too many Palestinians who would give the non-Jewish a majority. No sane country would do that to itself - it would be suicidal.

Knowledge and guidance. The government should make the peole happy and the people in return should do their share to make the country productive and peaceful :-)

They can if they work to create a organized and functional government for its people and work to create an economy.  Palestinian for the most part is dependent on Israel for work since it does not have much of any industry.\n\nFor Hamas to succeed, it will have to work with Israel to resolve issues that limit the economy of the Palestinians.

I think we should feed and shelter our poor AND have a strong military. Screw sending money to Palestine and Egypt or any other country that hates us - spend that money to take care of our own.

i support zionism.  everybody deserves a home, but where can the jewish people go?  now they have Isreal, so they should keep it.  but that land was arab land, taken from other people.  who has the right to decide who gets what land? well, mabey superpowers :).  i am truely happy for the jewish people that they finally got a place to call home after thousands of years of hardship and opression.  i hope Isreal lives a long and prosperous life as on of the only civilized countries in the Middle East region.

Ok, If you want to learn then let me start with a brief history. Palestine was occupied by the Zionists in consequent steps after the Balfour declaration in 1917. Since then the Palestinians (Muslims, Christians and Jews) have been in struggle to free their land from what was then called "Israel", yet they were always willing to accept any reasonable solution to the crisis as long as it takes into consideration their basic rights including the rights of 7 million Palestinian refugees to return to their homes in the so called "Israel", a right that is stated and ensured by the UN and international law. However, the Zionists want the whole Holy Land "Palestine" for them alone, and that's why they kept attacking Palestinians and committing massacres in them even after the 1948 war. In 1967 Israel took over the rest of Palestine (West Bank and Gaza Strip) in addition to the Sinai desert from Egypt, the Golan heights from Syria, South of Lebanon and west of Jordan.\n\nThe Palestinian resistance never stopped and will never stop until the land is freed. Unfortunately the global media is mainly owned or run by Zionists who succeeded so far in hiding the truth of what is going on in Palestine from the rest of the world.\n\nWhatever the Palestinians do it should be understood as a resistance and fight for their just cause. How would you react to someone who would kick you out of your house and occupy it by force?! It is more of less the same thing.\n\nAlthough for Palestinians any Zionist living in their land is part of the brutal occupation, they the resistance groups (led by Hamas) agreed 18 months ago not to attack Israeli civilians (this does not include Settlers living in illegal settlements in the West Bank or Gaza Strip), an agreement which Hamas respected disregarding the thousands of violations of that agreement from Israel through the past 18 months. It wasn't until 2 weeks ago when Al-Qassam Brigades decided to stop the cease-fire after the Israeli army killed a whole family while they were enjoying their time on the beach of Gaza (I won't be surprised if you told me you haven't heard abou this massacre at all).\n\nAl-Qassam, along with other brigades, attacked a military point on the border of Gaza and captured an Israeli soldier from the site. Such an attacked is very justified considering the daily attacks of Israeli on Palestinian cities by tanks and air fighters, killing and injuring hundreds every month, if you are in the United States or in Europre then most likely you won't receive any news about these attacks as it the media duty their not to disturb your peace with such bloody news! If you don't believe me on this you can conduct your own research on who owns and runs the American media (including Fox news) and their political and ideological interests.\n\nIt is war, and inter-attacks on military forces from either sides should not be interfered by International law, specially when the one taking action this time are the people of the right, the Palestinians.\n\nThe Palestinian resistance groups captured an Israeli soldier, and what they asked for before they release him was to release around 500 women and children prisoners from the Israeli prisons. Is this too much to ask for? And has anyone asked themselves how did those go into prison at the first instance?! Israel justifies it by saying that even the children are terrorists!!! (And by the way, according to the Israeli law, a Palestinian is considered adult from age 16, so when we talk about children here we actually talk about les than 16)\n\nIn addition to those there are more than 12,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli Jails, some of them have been there for 30+ years many have been charged with hundreds-of-years sentences, just ridiculous!\n\nPalestinians would love to live in peace and take their kids to school and go to universities, but what would you say if you know that in average Palestinian stude

It is still supporting Hamas.  The goal is to not have peace with the Palestinians and to steal thier land, having a reactionary government that Israel can falt out reject and ignore diplomatically is exactly why Israel supported Hamas in the first place.  It is ideal if the goal is to ignore efforts such as the Road Map, because of course, they "don't recognize Israel".  The fact is that Hamas could be brought to the table and would recognize Israel, but a long pattern of negotiations where Palestinaisn offered all and Israel offered ntohing reasonable by far (camp david) has made the Hamas line hard.  Palestinaians elected Hamas because they are tired of leadership that acts in accord with Israels rejection of peace and in doing so capitulates to the oppressor.  But Israel is in control (because the US allows it) and can only be brought to justice if the American people put pressure on them to do so, it is in our hands, make a call, write a letter, it is the least we can do.

I personally think Israel needs to pull out of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. They are reaping only that which they have sown. I believe the U.S. government needs to withhold all assistance to Israel, until they have effectively withdrawn from the previously stated areas. \n\nI believe the recent election results prove that the system, for all its flaws, still works.
