In the Western world there's another form of antisemitism, leftist antisemitism. It proves that nazi movements can be also to the left. It got a support in Hollywood as well, Hollywood is more nazi that Goebbels. In other words Howard Stern is a goddamn hypocrite with a small dick.

I'm not really following this too closely, but both sides seem to me like they are involved in committing atrocities (anytime civilians are targeted, I consider that an atrocity). And I don't pay much attention to Howard Stern, but how do you know so much about the size of his member? Is the simple fact that he does not agree with your position an indication of the size of his manhood? "Men who agree with me must have large ones. Men who don't agree with me must have small ones." Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

He admited that so that's a funny fact, of course it doesn't really matter.

The only real thing about small members is that people compensate for them with trucks and guns Tongue

Really that had so little to do with anything.

I think it is possible but there will have to be some major change in the Gaza strip and in their world view. I think Israel can accept all of Hamas terms or at least most of them (some may be too big of a threat on home security so I'm not sure about them).
But anyway the big terms should be accepted such as the opening of Rafah crossing, opening Gaza's port and fishing area, and anything that should be of help to the Palestinian people of creating a better life with an evolving economy, they deserve it just as much as we do. I think the better life they will have, there will be the less need for violence, just look at the arab civilians living in Israel in small villages or in bigger cities, they have the same life as Israeli civilians. I'm sure there is still some level of hate but they will have too much to loose if they take any violent actions towards civilians or soldiers.

On the other side Hamas and his fellow organizations must cease to exist and in stead there should be some kind of ruling authority like PA, in addition to that their warped upbringing methods of teaching hate and violence towards Israel/Jews must also stop or there will always be some level of terror.

There will be no terror attacks of any kind on Israel exactly like there are no more terror attacks coming from Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Of course building of tunnels under the Israeli border is not accepted.

The same way Israelis can't visit the majority of arab countries, Palestinians shouldn't be allowed into Israel.

Peace.

Sagi, is religion still strongly practiced in Israel?  Just curious, if most Israeli Jews are kind of lackadaisical about religion, accept for major holidays, or if the religious views and beliefs are strongly held throughout Israeli's Jewish society.

^ Well there are a few levels of practice. I'm not sure really but I'll say maybe 50% are not religious but pretty much all of those are celebrating holidays (like me). The rest are religious but of course there are a few levels for that. Some are living a "normal" life having jobs or careers but still observe the sabbath if you know what I mean. And of course some have no jobs except for the job of praying to the lord! Things are pretty complex here but then again kind of simple too.

There is something to be said about so much hatred and war centered around religious beliefs and differences.  I kind of wonder how much that goes on there is really just because of the zealots on both sides, which sadly causes the rest of the people to have to suffer through it.  Obviously, there are historical differences that go back a long, long time but one has to wonder if overall it is a good thing that more people are less religious.  I suspect that the average person on both sides of the dispute would tell you that they want the same thing.  A peaceful existence for themselves and their children.  Unfortunately, it is those extremists on both sides that don't allow this to happen.  The sad thing being that the religions themselves pretty much teach how to live a peaceful existence...it is just those who misinterpret these teachings for political gain which cause the misery which is caused. 

Just kind of an outsider's view from many miles away; I have no personal experience of having been there or first hand experience of observing what goes on other than what US media wants me to see.

You are apparently ignorant about the definition of the word ignorant as well.

Did read post, will respond more later.

You are very clever manipulator of words Gamemako, but how can Sagi be ignorant if he is an Israeli ducking missiles? Confused You are comfortably numb in your peaceful homeland security-protected USA , and that makes YOU ignorant of the issues and ignorant of the definition of the term. We commend your bravery, you are entitled to any opinion even its its ludicrous but accusing someone of what he cannot be is pretty cowardly. 
You even  promised to respond later.........but only with some propaganda video. 
You are a smart man, and a free one. Clap

It's a little different here, religion isn't being misinterpreted to be honest, there are no calling for violence in the name of....
All civilians wants their peace, no one here wants or thinks it's a good idea to occupy Gaza, it costs a lot of money, soldiers and civilians are killed and it's not like I can visit there so why do I need it? The country is pretty much divided between the idea of how to ensure this peace. But I can tell you left or right, no one here wants to take anymore sh*t from Hamas. There was always the fear of... how can I be sure that if I'll open the Gaza port and the border to Egypt towards Gaza, that fanatics won't take advantage of it and unleash mega terror acts, I remind you a lot of them don't believe Israel should exist.

Guys, just have a beer together. This is just like the protests that I observed in Boston the other day... Name-calling and irrational emotional responses...

Quote UN building in Gaza shelled five times within one hour - official
July 30, 21:31 UTC+4

Another United Nations school serving as a shelter for Palestinians in Gaza was hit by shells Wednesday morning, killing children



UNITED NATIONS, July 30, /ITAR-TASS/. The headquarters of two UN agencies in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday was shelled five times within an hour, UN undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs Valerie Amos said on Wednesday.
The headquarters of the office of the UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process and the UN humanitarian affairs coordination office five times came under fire in the period from 01:00 a.m. to 02:00 a.m. (02:00 - 03:00 a.m., Moscow time). The only power plant in Gaza was also shelled. It is unlikely that its operation will be resumed any time soon, she said. According to her, most houses in Gaza now get electricity for only two hours per day due to the station damage.
Amos also said that another United Nations school serving as a shelter for Palestinians in Gaza was hit by shells Wednesday morning, killing children. Senior UN officials strongly condemned the attack on the school of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Amos said it was flagrant violation of international law.
The Israeli military offensive in Gaza, which is home to 1.8 million people, has left hundreds dead and thousands injured. Over 182,000 displaced people have now taken refuge in facilities run by the UNRWA.

United Nations officials described the killing of sleeping children as a disgrace to the world and accused Israel of a serious violation of international law after a school in Gaza being used to shelter Palestinian families was shelled on Wednesday. At least 15 people, mostly children and women, died when the school in Jabaliya refugee camp was hit by five shells during a night of relentless bombardment across Gaza. More than 100 people were injured.
Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, said the attack was "outrageous and unjustifiable" and demanded "accountability and justice". The UN said its officials had repeatedly given details of the school and its refugee population to Israel.

Seems an over reaction to bomb Gazza. He should be left alone, alcoholism is a disease and he needs support.

Heard on the news that 92% of Israelis oppose cease-fire. Had trouble finding a source for that exactly, but I did find another like this.
