If i can do anything for you, i would be more than happy if you let me know. I wish you and your families strength to survive these bad times, and realization of hope and peace.<BR/><BR/>It was through friendship that de Gaulle and Adenauer in the 1950ies overcame the perception between France and Germany as each others "arch-enemies", and laid the basis for a more peaceful Europe since then. I hope that your action will have a similar result!<BR/><BR/>thomasThomas S.

I saw a video of an Israeli airstrike that would break anyone with a soul's heart.This raw footage was taken minutes after an Israeli attack, I saw roughly 20 bodies strewn about, kids laying next to their bikes, a body of a young boy can be seen laying face first on the ground, he was no older than 5.My God have mercy on these people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968220524668733495.post-18999470342301201972009-01-10T22:02:00.000+02:002009-01-10T22:02:00.000+02:00As a Jewish american, I am greatly conflicted by w...As a Jewish american, I am greatly conflicted by what is going on between Israel and Gaza. I support that the Israel should defend their country by putting a stop to the rockets that are terrorizing their citizens. However, Hamas is not really paying for their actions in the end. Instead, hundreds of civilians, and counting, are losing their lives. The refusal on both sides to negotiate the proposed U.N. Security Council cease-fire makes me wonder- what are the objectives of this war? I support that Israel shouldn't stand by and be attacked, but are these means really effective? I applaud this website and its efforts to humanize what is going on over there- people need to understand how these old rivalries are affecting normal lives very much like our own. I am taught to stand by Israel, but I cannot help but wonder if hundreds of lives are worth whatever they are trying to gain. <BR/>All in all, thank you Peace Man and Hope Man for giving me some new perspective. If the war ever ends, it is people like you that will help the world to realize that what everyone wants is more similar then you would think. And I believe that what everyone wants is peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968220524668733495.post-86146414577490944152009-01-09T20:38:00.000+02:002009-01-09T20:38:00.000+02:00I also heard about your blog on National Public Ra...I also heard about your blog on National Public Radio. It is hard for me to look at the news those days. In one hand we have the pro-Israel news in U.S. that makes me sick. On the other hand you have the news that shows what is going on in Gaza and it is horrible. It is so hard to see all those innocent children being killed. If it is difficult to see this situation on the news, I cannot imagine how it will be to live through this terror.<BR/>I am also ashamed to live in U.S. and know that the tax we pay is going to kill innocent people around the world, instead of bring peace and a better life for all of us. My husband and I try to raise our voices to stop U.S. violence against other countries, but unfortunately nothing has change, and the violence continues.<BR/>I, like many others that are writing to you, apologize for U.S. behavior. We will keep trying, protesting, and hopping that one day this situation will change. Unfortunately people are losing their lifes and their loved ones as we hope.

I have been following the situation in Palestine for many years and continue to be shocked at the level of violence Israel commits against you. I am incredibly angry that my country, the U.S., provides such an incredible amount of aid to Israel. Israel is the recipient of the largest cumulative amount of U.S. foreign assistance since WWII. Since 1985, the U.S. has given Israel $3 billion in grants EACH year, and in '07, the Bush administration said it would increase U.S. military assistance to Israel by $6 over the next ten years. And our country is experiencing the worst financial crisis in recent history. Is anyone surprised? There are many Americans who do not support U.S. support of Israel, and I am one. I apologize for my country's unforgivable behavior, and my heart is with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968220524668733495.post-15620954632377351972009-01-09T05:11:00.000+02:002009-01-09T05:11:00.000+02:00To Hope Man and Peace ManI heard about your story ...To Hope Man and Peace Man<BR/><BR/>I heard about your story the other night on All things Considered on NPR.

It's obvious that Peace Man/Hope Man reject the road of hatred and the way of Hamass: so what? They're still living in a state of terror and hopelessness because the politicians are bolstered by the 80% who believe there is no other option and the other 70% who feel the same: funny, what does that tell you that nearly similar % in both countries support a violent solution to the problem?
