document.write("Most of the wars in the world are fought against Islamic fundamentalists who are deemed terrorists who commit heinous crimes against innocent men, woman and children (so called suicide bombers). When this happens not a single word from any Islamic country. Why? The situation in Gaza is unfortunate but the followers of Hamas know how these terrorists conduct their illigitimate attacks by hiding amongst woman and children. If these Hamas followers are not happy with the legitimate retalisation then they must stand up and say to these people they follow (take responsibility) and say no more will you use us as shields to conduct your war. If you want to fight Israell then do so but not using us as propaganda for your so called cause. <br />Another thing 'any' religion today, that claims to kill in the name of god has fooled its followers with such a delusional practice. There are just too many contridictions way too many in this religion called ISLAM. . Me");

document.write("Vote for a terrorist group and see the results. I think israel has been very patient, with daily rocket attacks for years.<br />who attacks who, Abdullah?<br /> Why is jesus a prohet of yours too, changed water into wine, and muslims are not allowed to drink alcohol????. edward");
document.write("<h5>Hamas </h5>");
document.write("Maybe Abdullah should stick to the facts and leave Allah out of this. Hamas' charter clearly states it seeks an end to Israel's existence and that negotiating a peaceful settlement is a waste of time. Based on this doctrine it has to engage Israel in combat otherwise it has not reason to exist. That is why, 3 years after Israel LEFT Gaza strip, Hamas continues to fire rockets at Israeli towns. Israel has been patient and the Islamist terrorists were counting on Israel not retaliating back for fear of civilian casualties and international opinion. Hamas has changed the rules of war by basing its military bases, smuggling tunnels in civilian areas using the civilian population as shields. They even hide out and store weapons in hospitals knowing the IDF won't hit them here. Hamas seeks the high moral ground when using civilian deaths that they are responsible for. If Hamas really cared about the Palestinian people it would have negotiated a settlement and turned Gaza into a thriving area and not terrorist hive. . Michael");

document.write("This is clearly NOT a war, but a MASSACRE and ethnic-cleansing at its very best, by very sophisticated Zionist machinery against a defenceless people! <br />You do not have to be a rocket scientist, to realise that the source of the Palestinian struggle is about the ILLEGAL OCCUPATION of Palestinian land by the Zionist, as it was the case in Apartheid South Africa.  <br />These racist and pro-Zionist comments are serious reminders of the ones we’ve heard and promoted by the supporters of the Apartheid South Africa regime for much of our struggle days. <br />History reminds us that oppression and war crimes do not last forever. Their evil actions do not go unnoticed by the citizens of the world, for a people cannot be continually be suppressed! How many more international laws can the citizens of the world allow the Zionists to violate? How many UN resolutions can the world allow them to be ignored? The Zionist PR themselves seem to be struggling with! <br />. Roger");
