SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS IS NOT THE ROAD TO PEACE
March 6, 2008 at 10:46 pm (DesertPeace Editorial, Israel, Palestine, Peace)
At a time when Israel is looking for any excuse to justify it’s operations of genocide in both Gaza and the West Bank, one was literally handed to them on silver platter this evening in Jerusalem.
An armed gunman entered a Jewish Seminary and slaughtered eight students there wounding scores of other before being gunned down himself by the police.
Acts such as these serve only the interests of the zionists that wish to continue their mass murders of Palestinians. DesertPeace condemns such actions and mourns those innocents that were killed this evening. Nothing positive can come of this….. nothing. The slaughter of innocents is not the road to peace.

I agree with you Desertpeace that killing innocent people is not a good deed! but “Israel” never needed any excuse to kill Palestinians… I mean let’s take what the “Israeli” rep at the UN security council have said today: he said that there was no link between the attack in Jerusalem and the what happened [the massacre] in Gaza. So this is proves the point from one side. However, I can assure you that what happened in Jerusalem was a kind of emotionally driven attack after seeing what happened (and still happening) to the BABIES and civilians in Gaza…
P.S. The gunman was killed by one of the STUDENTS who was armed by a rifle! (here: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/961703.html). Torah students in “Israel” are usually armed with assault rifles all the time, it’s their tradition…

Call me cynical but it seems an incident like this always occurs when Israel needs a little sympathy. In this case it takes the heat off Israel for the slaughter they’re committing against civilians in Gaza.
I wouldn’t put it past the Israelis to have staged or arranged this against their own citizens. Eight unknowns are expendable as far as the Israeli government is concerned and it’s a small price to pay to for an incident that distracts attention from their massacre in Gaza.

Most of the Israeli fanatics who have settled in Israel are from Brooklyn, N.Y. They were located in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, N.Y. and then moved to Israel were they had stolen land waiting for them to build their houses. They continue to be religious fanatics and believe that only Jews should live in Israel and no one else. Still, they call their nation a democracy. That’s a democracy…Israeli style.
They should be sent back to Brooklyn, N.Y. and the land that was confiscated for them should be returned to the Palestinians who are their rightful owners.

Another sad day.
lately Gaza and Palestinians have gained a lot of sympathy across the world and even amongst the US young… celebrating like this over the deaths is just set them back years. Currently every US news network is showing Palestinian men celebrating the deaths and firing into the air . They really should change there whole tactics, until they relise how the west works they will never achieve what they want as only the west ultimaely can put enough pressure on Israel to resolve the issue.
I feel sorry for Gaza residents, they will suffer for this over the coming days.

Why is there no search facility ? I was looking for a well written article by someone who suggested a way of gaining peace with progressive steps (peole walking in the streets with signs in English, waving olive branches) with the ultimate aim of declaring independence after a year, I scanned it and wanted to read it again (I had to pick up kids from school) and have never found the article again.
I am sure it was on this site… does anyone know the article I am refering to ?

Peace is the ONLY way. Even if your going to have a rough time of it. Only to follow peace will god guard your path against all comers. Having this protection is also the only way through the time ahead for us all. Palestine is Peace. Palestine is also Free peace. The current roughness is going to be overcome with Peace and all the gifts God provides you along the way. I have no fear. I fear NO man. God is my protector. Evil men need fear our might. Free men fight to Free Palestine any way they can. Palestine IS coming!

DP,
I condemn this act of murder in the same strong terms I condemn every act of murder be it in Jerusalem, Gaza, Sderot or anywhere; be it Jewish or Muslim blood that is spilled or be it a Jewish or Muslim hand that does the killing. We can not kill each other into submission. Each murder is an excuse to hate the other more and to plan for the next revenge killing. This cycle of violence has become so ingrained it is almost second nature. It is a circle that appears to have no end and no beginning. I do not want to play the pain game - “our pain is bigger than yours” - and I don’t want to play the blame game - “It’s your fault, you started it, I am only reacting to what you have done” because those games lead no where productive. That being said, I do want to say it is Israel’s responsibility to lead the way to a solution and to take moral responsibility for the inhuman way she is treating those peoples under her control. Israel is failing miserably in those task; it is failing in a way that will be judged very very harshly by history. And of course the most critical question is how to stop this cycle of violence and hatred. How to move on? How to find a true peace?

He kills, she kills, we kill, they kill, and before you know it, EVERYONE is dead! There are better ways to shame fools. Violence is NOT the way. Key-rhist runnin’ up a flag pole, this has got to stop!

If this was done as revenge for what is happening in Gaza, then it is maybe understandable, not excusable, but understandable, but will do nobody any good.
This war that the Palestinians are fighting is as much a media war as anything else, and so they need to have the higher moral ground if the Israeli version of events is to be undermined and to keep increasing pressure on Israel.
This massacre gives Israel a chance to play the victim, again.

Be if a false flag attack or not the world is waking up and are seeing the truth. All the deceptions are similar and all are becoming obvious to all. It’s like a repeat of the same story/same movie. Yet the violence still goes on. The power to have peace is within the hands of the stronger nation. Let the stronger nation promote peace and all will be well.
No need to point fingers or names. Results show the truth and we can clearly see where the violence is stemming from and who is suffering the most.

Most of the Israelis now living in the occupied territory came from Brooklyn, N.Y. They are the most fanatical of all of the Jews living there. They are racist, Zionist and they would like to eterminate every single Palestinian if they could.
