It is really shame not on Israel but All Arab nations that such arrogant nation at their backyard barks and bites on their palestinian brothers, and these arab nations are reluctant to even utter one statement in support of their brothers. |

I think it's important to keep stressing to the Palestinians, as well as the rest of the world, that the United States people do not unequivocally support Israel. I, for one, despise it's terrorist policies and what they are doing to the Palestinian people.
People all around the world feel bad because of the current economic slump, but what if your neighborhood was blockaded and you couldn't have basic necessity. It doesn't make the hard financial times seem so bad now does it? |

" According to the security establishment’s data, 2008 saw an increase of over a thousand rockets and mortars from the previous year.
In 2007 over 1,200 rockets and 600 mortar shells were fired towards the western Negev. As 2008 comes to a close, 2,900 rockets have so far been fired at Israel." |

Shame on the so called developed world, US and Israel for letting Gaza slip into such an inhuman condition. If they think by collective punishment and torture of all inhabitants the can force the people to give up free thinking then they got it wrong. This stiutation will only lead to fall of US and Israel. History will be the witness. |

for those of us who can read, these people are not emailing Al Jazeera (as you said, they have no electricity) but they are rather talking to the al jazeera reporters. for those who did not even read the article (aka, you) it says "Al Jazeera spoke to residents of the Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza about the truce..." Yes, a refugee camp. But i'm sure they're all sitting at their computers there, playing World of Warcraft, right?
S, where did you get those statistics? |

I think it is really unfair for the world to sit back and watch the deteriorating situation in Gaza strip so much at peace. Had it been the palestinians violating the truce, the west would have reacted so fast. I think both sides needs to be treated the same! |

truce?? |

how can the Israelis talk of truce they've invaded the Palestinian territory and they talk of ceasefire.
the first thing a true truce would include would be the removal of the blockade on the Gaza strip, and secondly to return the stolen lands!!! |

Of course Israel has violated the truce. It is in their best interests to maintain war, strife, hunger and unrest. Israel has no other way of life and the U.S. supports this madness. Everyone should wake up and smell the rot that comes from Israel and stand to condemn the atrocities Israel has created world wide.

This is indeed the bottom line.
The problem with Al Jazeera is its Palestinian, Syrian, Lebanese etc. readers/talkbackers are not at liberty to speak their minds. We Israelis sure wish they could, for their sakes as well as ours.

More and more al jazeera has proven to be a fan club for Western/Isreali haters to pat themselves on the back.
To Truthman: Isreal's only way is war? LOL! But it's okay that Iranian leaders constantly talk of "wiping them off the map" and the only thing any muslim seems capable of discussing is establishing muslim rule across the world (see current Al Jazeera update of Samalia).
Islamic nations know only one thing: war, even with each other if they don't have anyone else to hate. |

Hamas can't live with the truce - since it's only purpose is religious war. Like Hizbollah, Fath al-Islam, those who attacked in Mumbai, Bali, NYC, London, Madrid, Moscow etc. From the other side, Israel needs truce to improve it's economy (20th in the world per capita), to develop research (Weizman Institute is less than 80km from Gaza), to host festivals (Gutman, Matzuev, Spivakov and a few other great musicians are today in Israel at 2 different events) etc. That's the difference. |

There has been severe electricity interruptions, rationing etc, and often some areas have it & others don't. Israel has bombed power stations on numerous occasions. Israel is a Colonialist power occupying stolen land and they have been trying to kill the rightful owners since 1948. |

|

As long as Hamas has an aim (eg read their manifesto) to destroy Israel there can be no peace in Gaza.
The only way they will obtain peace with Israel is if violence stops and the first one to use violence this time was Hamas.

There's no truce to support....Israel is only looking for a one sided agreement to ensure the slow genocide of the Palestinian people. Israel can not claim any act in self defense: while Israel is the head bully of a gang of thugs in the world with power(political, military and financial) Palestinians are simply fighting for their inherent human right to exist with throwing rocks and bottles and a shoddy rockets. |

Jewish people starved and beseiged in the ghettoes of Warsaw fought back as freedom fighters. How horrific that such a legacy of oppression has now become their own tools for oppression. The massive incarceration of the Palestinian people, in prisons and their homes, starvation and deprivations, stealing land, were all used against the Jewish people in the past, by the Nazis. How quickly the "holocaust conscience" has forgotten the betrayal of sectors of humanity to become the new oppressors. |

This can not go on, not the rockets, not the reprisals, not the reprisals, not the rockets - because one day it will escalate probably through some string of miscalculations and errors and it will go nuke. Then both sides (if anyone is left) will wish they had tried to work it out. What do I know, I'm just some American - but I have known Arabs, Persians, and Jews and I know if you set your mind to it you can learn to live near each other. Try being nice to each other.

3800 hundred missiles on Israel in one year? you call that truce? Hamas has been teasing Israel for way too long...they've had their chances for truce. It's very easy to sit infornt of the PC and comment on every little move that Israel makes with words like arrogance, hunger, no electricity, etc. while people in Southern Israel get bombarded by Hamas on a daily basis. You should take back your words if you don't know what you're talking about. Hamas has been acting like a bully for too long. |

I used to demonstrate for peace, while suicide bombing attacked everywhere. and still thought it is the right way ! I also (willingly) took part in the evacuation of Gaza as a solider. BUT, now i understand that Palestinian leadership is too proud to make real peace ("Palestine is ours..") and the Palestinian people are too tired to believe the concept of peace (i.e. HAMAS which is a terror organization was elected !!!) and is too morally numb to condemn Gilad Shalit's "show". Hamas is using u! |

Until the full force of international law is applied to all parties in the area there can be no peace. Peace cannot exist without justice.
Those who refuse to ensure that all the relevant UN Resolutions are applied must hold themselves responsible for this conflict, of which the Gaza Ghetto is one tragic aspect. |

So far I have seen an objective Aljazeera but this makes me think:
Why would Israel break such an agreed to truce. Could it be that Hamas allowed the firing of rockets on Sederot even with a cease fire. Didn't Egypt open its border with Gaza for months before they were swindled by HAMAS with worthless forged currency. The list of HAMAS misdeeds far exceeds Israel's in much of this and why hasn't Shalit been returned as part of the ceasefire agreement. None of this makes sense -recheck the facts |

We need clearer chronology of the truce violation. What kind of journalism is this? You can't have your cake and eat it. If you have a title with a claim in it that Israel violated the truce then why try to undermine the claim in actual text of the article? Is Al-Jazeera now concerned with its own reputation more than telling the truth - as it used to do in the past? |

Hamas has been very honest and open in saying that they will accept nothing less than the complete annihilation of Israel.
Israel will never agree to be annihilated. So there will always be a conflict.
The only solution is for the international community to set up two countries, that are separated in such a way that they do not interfere in anyway with each other - no rockets, no invasions, no air attacks, no bombers, etc. (Think North and South Korea.) |

There seems to be a general lack of clarity of the number of civilians who have been killed in these raids. Indeed every life is equally important, but reports never seems to point out/remind that Isreal has targeted Hamas sites, unlike Hamas who indescriminately fire rockets on villages of ONLY civilians in Isreal. This is not a tit for tat game in the number of deaths. Surely if Hamas stops sending rockets into the villages, Isreal will stop its attack? |

It's hard to fathom a people who claim to have endured so much suffering imposing dehumanizing conditions on others. There is another Holocaust (yes there have been many throughout history but for someone reason the world has an obsession w/just 1) in the Gaza Strip. In America, we only hear about the conflict when Palestine is defending itself. Of course, they are the "villians" and "agressors" when our media is reporting and this sickens me! |

Israel's goal is nothing less than the complete eradication of Palestine as a nation, as a culture, as a living presence in the land that Israel is currently stealing for its exclusive use.
Israel's beautiful dream is to reduce a proud and modern nation into a hellish prison camp. |
