it's land grabbing and it's wrong and there is no point in calling the other side wrong for aggression to take land BACK.... when that is the exact same way it was taken from Palestine to begin with.

If Israel drops one bomb on Gaza our countries should be evicting all Israeli embassy staff and diplomats immediately, without pause, without discussion. Aggressors should not be permitted to hold embassy positions in countries where the public wants them out!

"Now if Obama bluffs us and jumps on the Zionist band wagon..."
While he might make statements that indicate something to the contrary, he wouldn't even be where he is if he didn't dance the dance, no?

He's a thug. A classic example of a mobster. Nothing more. He's no politician, he's a criminal. He practically jumped right off the page of a bad New York Mafia Novel.
How dare you talk off topic about the thug-in-chief Obama that way!!

Which they destroyed in 70 CE. As far as I know israel wasn't a nation again until the US and UK decided to recreate a fallen land.
Who is on whom's land. Deeds issued by a conqueour aren't worth the paper they are written on, once that occupying force s gone.
I've asked before, I'll ask again. Do we give North America back to the natives that were here millenia before we were?

I challenge you to find 1 piece of historical data that mentions the land of Palestine, it never has existed as a country a people or a place. Even the romans spoke of Israel. Who is on whom's land. Deeds issued by a conqueour aren't worth the paper they are written on, once that occupying force s gone.
As noted previously, Judea was deadlocked in a civil war between two brothers, and also between two religious sects, both desiring to control the land. Pompey was sent by Rome to intervene. After a three month battle Jerusalem fell and the Romans took control of Palestine. They placed Hyrcanus II in the position of High Priest, and made Antipater their Minister to oversee the affairs of Judea. Aristobulus II, and some of his supporters, were taken prisoner and sent back to Rome. Enroute to Rome, Alexander (the son of Aristobulus II) escaped and attempted to organize a revolt against his uncle Hyrcanus II. This revolt was quickly put down by the Romans. Alexander was forced to surrender, but the Romans were merciful and spared his life.
During this time, Aristobulus II managed to escape from Rome. He returned to Palestine, raised an army, and again civil war broke out as a struggle for power ensued. With the assistance of Antipater, Rome again was able to put down the revolt of Aristobulus. As a reward for his efforts, Antipater was given additional authority and power over Judea by the Roman government. In effect, he became Rome's puppet ruler over Palestine. Hyrcanus II remained as the religious leader of the people, but really held no political power to speak of.
Returning to the small area of the empire known as Palestine, we discover that after the death of Antipater, his son Herod became the leader of the Jews. This was around the year 47 BC. Herod was able to maintain his position of leadership for about seven years before serious trouble arose.
Ancient Canaan included the region between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean, an area roughly equivalent to the modern states of Israel (with the Palestinian territories), Lebanon, and coastal and southern inland Syria.[4] According to archaeologist Jonathan N. Tubb, "Ammonites, Moabites, Israelites and Phoenicians undoubtedly achieved their own cultural identities, and yet ethnically they were all Canaanites" "the same people who settled in farming villages in the region in the 8th millennium BC."[5]

It is sad to see all the Israeli haters, Israel has a right to defend herself and has shown remarkable restraint through the years, Secondly Palestine has never existed, this is Israeli land from 1000's of years ago, not to mention the Biblical aspect that this land was given by God to Abraham, The hajji's believe it is also their holy place so what more do you expect. The muslims only respond and respect force, over whelming force. Weakness as Obama has demonstrated only fans the flames of hatred which has existed in that region for thousands of years. Let Israel handle them if they fall short, we can provide some shock an awe.
bull# bull# bull# bull#.... stop bringing fictional books like the bible into this. Netanyahu and his zionist psycopath fellowship is the sole reason the middle east is so #ed up. He is entirely to blame and should be tried at a human rights court and hung by the neck for his crimes against this world!
The Islamic Jihad rages across the entire planet,

OK, if we are going to get into semantics, why are we allowing an entity that has been around for less than 70 years dictate to a region that has been populated for millenia? Hell, at Israel's inception they were around for only a few years.
