Muslim anger grows over Israeli strikes on Gaza ("peace" celebs appeal to Obama to speak up)
AFP ^ | January 2, 2009

LONDON (AFP) — US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday she has no plans to visit the Middle East, as protests stepped up in major capitals and artists urged Barack Obama to speak out against Israel.

As Muslim religious and political leaders denounced Israel's deadly attacks on Gaza, Washington and its Middle East partners were working for a ceasefire to put an end to rocket attacks out of Hamas-run Gaza, Rice told reporters.

"We are working toward a ceasefire that would not allow a re-establishment of the status quo ante where Hamas can continue to launch rockets out of Gaza," she added.

Since Israel unleashed its air and sea campaign six days ago, at least 430 Palestinians have been killed, including 65 children, and 2,250 others wounded, according to Gaza medics.

I say we send these “celebs” to Gaza and let them live amongst Hamas since they are all such big fans

Muslim anger doesn’t need anything in particular to “grow”

Only 15% children despite the Palistinian terrorists hiding behind children - I'd call that a testament to Israeli leaders valuing the Palestinian children more than their own parents do. My only question is where is the "anger" over the thousands of Hamas rockets that have been shot into Israel by these terrorists?

Obama already said he won’t negoitate with Hamas which if he doesn’t pull a flop on would be better than Bush and Rice.

Once President George W Bush has left office and His Excellency has begun his rule, Israel will be the only country in the world with enough guts to deal decisively to the muslim menace. That’s only 18 days away.

I think His Excellency is about to learn that being POTUS isn’t as easy as it looks: so he’ll just skip over the difficult bits and make a hash out of it.

It’s going to be a lonely four years for Israel.

The human rights activists are for human rights... unless those whose human rights have been ravaged happen to be Jews. Then they are mercifully silent.

The "Palestinians" have ALWAYS been the interlopers.

Origin of Palestine

The British chose to call the land they mandated Palestine, and the Arabs picked it up as their nation's supposed ancient name, though they couldn't even pronounce it correctly and turned it into Falastin a fictional entity. [In an article by Sarah Honig, Jerusalem Post, November 25, 1995]

Blah blah blah blah. Nearly all the Middle East and other large tracts of the world are the hell holes they are now simply because of Muslim invasion and destruction over the past 13 centuries or so. This is a case of a charred planet calling a burnt-out matchstick black.
