rawstory.com— As Israel's IDF wages it's own "media war" via Twitter and YouTube, uncensored footage from Palestine has been completely blacked out in the US. Until now.

Given that over 50% of Gaza's population is under the voting age, your comment is irrelevant. Of the 50% that voted, Hamas won about 2/3 of the seats. So that makes at most 33% of the people that voted Hamas, assuming that 100% of the voters actually voted (which is very unlikely). So let's punish 67% of the population for something they had no hand in, right?What's more, I know of no country in which voting is a crime punishable by bombing. It is either a right or an obligation, depending on where you live.The rocket shells resumed when the ceasefire ended. They are illegal by int'l law, and I'll refrain from adding your "but unfortunately that's the nature of it" which is a callous double-edged sword. The ceasefire ended as it was not being respected by Israel, notably concerning the border openings and incursions into Gaza. It really was in no one's interest that it fail, but pig-headed leaders in the Israeli cabinet and Hamas refuse to back down and do the obvious: negotiation.

i never said they attacked in the video... loland you're right it was technically stolen by the US and europe and given to the jews after the holocaust and a european/us backed israel continued to expand its borders and occupy neighboring countries. whatever hamas need to stop being such babies and israel needs to stop being such a bully
Going after Hamas' security forces is very different from covertly removing Hamas from power. A covert operation would be much more cost effective, and would endanger far less noncombatants/civilians. Of course, it would not allow Israel to encroach upon Palestine's land. "why jerusalem?"Because it's an important city in the Islam faith? "what happened to this being about the land being stolen blah blah."The quotation from the Palestinian constitution directly targets a piece of land, no?

The video in this blog has been buried several times. Yesterday it was buried after receiving 400+ comments in less than 24 hours and hundreds of hotly contested comments. <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/world_news/BANNED_VIDEO_pulled_from_Youtube_WARNING/The">http://digg.com/world_news/BANNED_VIDEO_pulled_fro ...</a> video was removed from YouTube and several other sites.This video is hard to watch. In fact, I couldn't make it very far. But I think there is a powerful and organized attempt to suppress any information which shows the slaughter of the Palestinians.Please digg and share with everyone you know. The truth cannot be suppressed forever.Please check these stories out as well: <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/politics/Worldwide_alarm_at_Israeli_ground_offensive?OTC-fft-9">http://digg.com/politics/Worldwide_alarm_at_Israel ...</a><a class="user" href="http://digg.com/politics/US_Media_Coverage_Of_Gaza_Invasion_Largely_Biased_To_Israel">http://digg.com/politics/US_Media_Coverage_Of_Gaza ...</a><a class="user" href="http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/01/02/israel/index.html">http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/01/02/ ...</a><a class="user" href="http://digg.com/world_news/Israel_lobby_calls_in_US_advisers_to_boost_image_UK_news">http://digg.com/world_news/Israel_lobby_calls_in_U ...</a><a class="user" href="http://digg.com/world_news/Jews_Against_Israel_Massacre_of_Palestininans_in_Gaza">http://digg.com/world_news/Jews_Against_Israel_Mas ...</a>

hamas was democratically elected."Hamas leaders are generally considered to be more effective and less corrupt than the PLO.

Yes it's a lie. It's just a conspiracy theory. Kids aren't really being ripped to shreds by Israel's bombs... sarcasm

The longer you hold back tension, the more likely you get a World War.
