Allamagan Posted December 28, 2008 We will not leave our land we will not raise white flags and we will not kneel except before God. By Ismail Haniyeh. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. By Edmund Burke Our prayers & thoughts are with our palestinian brothers and sisters in Gaza especially through this hard times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubacka Posted December 28, 2008 ^ Ameen. it shows what a twisted place Isreal is that these parties have to kill ppl to show how tough they are in preparation for the forthcoming elections. It will be interesting to see what Obama will bring to the table. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malika Posted December 28, 2008 ^He has already made his intentions clear,as far as he is concerned Hamaz are terrorists and the Palestinians deserve what is happening to them,thus they harbor terrorists. The homicide of innocent people is oppressive and unjustifiable,despite of what Hamaz does..I mean how can they justify the death of 280 Palestinian people,for a mortal that perhaps just wounded one Israeli?

Libaax-Sankataabte Posted December 29, 2008 Massacre indeed. Obama is already blaming Hamas. Here is what Obama's mouthpiece reiterated today Axelrod: "when bombs are raining down on [israeli] citizens, there is an urge to respond and act to try to put an end to that. I think that's what Obama believes." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Serenity- Posted December 29, 2008 Whats happening in Gaza and the response from the world community is hard to swallow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted December 29, 2008 ^The response is all coordinated dear. 'World leaders' are instructed as to what to say. Most western leaders are making out that this is indeed a conflict between two sides. Sad events. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abtigiis Posted December 29, 2008 Serenity How naive of you?!!!There is no response from world community. There is a response from the Anglo-saxon empire: keep quite and watch. This has been the case all along. The empire must be defated for justice to prevail. Let not the sweet words of democracy and fake feeling of liberty you enjoy in Western Capitals blind you to the real essense of the turmoil in the world: Anglo-saxon avarice!

N.O.R.F Posted December 29, 2008 ^She probably means response from the anglo-saxons AND the lack of a response from the Muslim world in general. Looks like they will invade soon. Egypt still has the border closed. Says alot about how complicit they are in the goings on. Sad indeed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thierry. Posted December 29, 2008 Ina Illahi Wa Inna Illah rajicun may A;;ah ease the pain of the innocent, the Muslim world has become numb from the suffering of its people.

Islamic Relief Three hundred Palestinians have been killed and around 1,400 have been injured in a series of air raids on the Gaza Strip. These numbers look set to rise significantly over the coming days. IR is on the ground distributing emergency medical supplies and has launched an urgent appeal for $3 million. Immediate needs include medical disposables and first aid kits. MashaAllah it's easy and secure to donate Click here to Donate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
