UN halts Gaza aid shipments, cites Israeli attacks

You anti-war freaks say America doesn't give the Palestinians any money ?.

No country has been as generous with aid to the Palestinians as America. And President Bush gave Palestinian refugees another $85 million through the United Nations. What, youï¿½re whining that America isn't specifically giving money to the terrorist government Hamas so it can buy better rockets?. How about getting that sentiment out of your system by going out and buying your teenager a new Lamborghini so he can promptly tear out of your driveway and wrap it around a pole?.

Where was the Associated Press, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN or any other members of the press when the fools in the GAZA strip were killing Israelies with rockets and any other things they could get their filthy hands on?? Will someone please tell me why these loonies haven't made a single broadcast or written an item condeming these murderers?? Please, give me a break and tell me why they don't condem the Palestinians for their murdering, filthy acts!!

It is NOT unusual for Palestinians to fire rockets at Isrealies. Therefore, it is not news. It IS unusual for ISreal to bomb Palestine. Therefore it IS news. Make something common place, even if it is horrible, and the world will not know about it.

If you want to know why no one codems the muslim countries? Its easy, If we make friends with these people, we will be loved and all terrorism against american intersts will stop. Why should we be friends with Israelies, they have nothing to offer.

America needs to remain a strong ally of Israel, they are our only military tie in the middle east.They have done nothing that we would not done under the same circumstances. Look at the war we are in now.

Lob rockets that have no targeting mechinicams just hoping to kill people. What an act of cowardice. But let us remember, The Palestinians have civilians and childrenn. The Israelies are all non-human......................in someones eyes anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who believes? | 3:03 p.m. Jan. 8, 2009

I know I don't believe the UN. So you?

Lets see, how many corruption scandals have they been caught in? How many times did the UN presidents son take bribes during the Iraq "oil for food" scandal?

The UN is nothing but a mouthpiece for the terrorist group Hamas.

Wackmabinajob (president of Iran) says the holocast never occured and Israel should be wiped off the map and the UN did what?

Nothing!!!

Ya the UN is a great organization. They basically do anything where they can find a way to extort money from someone or some country.

The fact that the US actually supports an organization so corrupt is dispicable.

Thanks again Washington politicians!!!!

It is amazing how ones sided the media is.

The reason that the news organizations are taking photos about Gaza when they didn't for Siderot is simple. There is a whole lot more killing going on in Gaza. Siderot's people were terrorized. But only one or two died at a time if at all. It no better, no worse than a high crime area.

Gaza is being reduced to rubble. The photos are frightening.

It is basically a concentration camp where the guards are outside firing in.

Who is suppling the media? | 6:13 a.m. Jan. 9, 2009

These stories appearing in the american news media must be coming from the Hamas terrorist supporters decring the retaliation the Israel is giving them. In all wars, civilians will be caught in the middle, but the Hamas and american news media is making a mockery of the world with pictures they supply. If a picture of a bloody child crosses the desk of american news media they are too eager to print and publish them with sensalism and misinformation. And if america is giving Palistine aid, why isn't the Palstine army in there tring to oust the Hamas? Another american puppet government getting fat and rich on our donations? America needs to get out of the business of being the world police department.
