The Arabs nations do not love the Palestinians. They hate the Jews. Palestinians have been intentionally left to anguish in refugee camps by their Arab brothers,

Every honorable member of this planet has protest against Israel, the most came from the South American countries who are mainly Christians. The only one who are silent are the siblings/brothers of the victim. Even some Jews have condemned this Genocide. How low an individual/country can go.

I am with the Palestine cause and anti state of Israel. However, I find the Hitler photograph and caption very offensive and hope that it will be removed.

If Hamas terrorists stop firing rockets on Israeli citizens this situation would not have occurred. Stop blaming Israel.

As long as these parasites continue to kill ppl in Gaza they will face resistance.
Terrorist state of Israel will never have peace until it stops killing women, children and attacking hospitals/schools

Can someone please point me to a demonstration against ISIS killings, shia killings, ahmediya killings and waziristan killings. I want to join those demonstrations. I am willing to travel to any Islamic country.
Some of these pictures in fact makes me support Israel more. Did you really have to bring in Hitler into this? This shows this crowd's mentality.

How about a global day of rage against hamas? Fortunately most people understand that this is one big publicity stunt by hamas. This is nothing but a giant fund raising and recruiting strategy for hamas. Unfortunately all hamas efforts are at the expense of innocent Gazans, and hamas couldn't care less.

Soon after World War I Western Jews started arriving in Palestine. By 1948, with the support of the Wet they succeeded in establishing the state of Israel, a homeland for the Jews by killing and driving out the natives of Palestine (Philistine) and by defeating disunited Egyptians and Syrian armies. By 1967 they had conquered all of Palestine and placed Gaza and the West Bank, territories still inhabited by the natives of Palestine under an unbearable siege. Gaza became an open prison. Israel is founded on a racist ideology: it is a homeland for the Jews in which Philistines, both Muslim and Christian are not welcome. In the 20 th century history repeated itself. In 1095 Crusading hordes invaded Palestine and founded a racist state by killing and driving out the Philistines. In 1187 Saladin (Salahud Din) a military genius crushed the Crusading army and finally drove the Crusaders out of Palestine.
Israel's founding fulfilled a prophesy, probably attributed to the Holy Prophet of Islam: "Jews will return to the Holy Land but will be driven out after a great deal of blood shed. Many will seek protection hiding behind rocks and trees". Muslims, especially Arabic speaking nations are disorganized and disunited. The second part of the prophesy will escape fulfillment until Muslims stop fighting among themselves. They have the manpower, resources, technology as well weaponry to crush a racist state in the Mideast that has become, like a cancerous tumor in the brain of the Muslim world. Israel presents a challenge to all Muslims, especially those who have developed weapons to match Israel's war machine.

Israel is a reality whether Muslims like or dislike its existence. In Pakistan anti-Israel, India & US rhetoric is the daily past time. Palestinians need pragmatic leadership which invokes the concept of reality accepting approaches. Hamas & Hezbollah are in fantasy land if they imagine they can wipe (Israel) off the map, which is their driving ambition.
Fantasy land and imagine are soft concepts for what are delusional convictions. We have heard Hamas leaders and others in the Muslim world call for the obliteration of the Jewish state and Jews on the authority of their holy texts. It is all more the urgent that people able to see reality do not succumb to the delusional demonization of Israel by fanatics who value delusional goals above the lives of their own citizens.
Same sentiments echoed in the past that led to 1967 war which resulted in Jordan, Egypt & Syria losing a large swathe of their territories to Israel. Either we accept the reality & move on or forever languish in the deepening quagmire of war and poverty.

@Ibn Adam: All I have seen on our TV is wailing by Gazan women and calling Israel names. These women know full well that Hamas rocket sites being within residential areas civilian deaths are bound to happen but does Hamas care no. This shows that they are heartless fanatics not worth living in this world.

My Appeal to the Muslim Ummah, Do not be outrageous & call all sort of offensive names we can imagine to America or Israel for their genocide & bloodshed on our Muslim brothers & sisters or the Muslim State, Islam teaches us to be tolerant & peaceful till the ultimate movement. But, express your annoyance in a calm & peaceful protest.
Now is the time that we the Muslim Ummah with a population of more than 2.8 billion spread out all over the world should stand up & start taking action against the genocide & bloodshed faced by our Muslim brothers & sisters. Initially, we should stop using day to day products in our life, produced by the economical strong industries controlled by wealthy American Jews from now onwards, and within a span of time go further with the lager products, if this strategy is implemented by 30% of the Muslim Ummah, we will observe that within the next 10 to 15 years the strong American economy controlled by the wealthy families of American Jews will collapse on its knees with recession. That will be a victory for the Muslim Ummah, peaceful with no bloodshed, genocide or deadly wars.
