More Arabs in suits demanding things they have no intention of enforcing. Wake me when they do something besides pocket Uncle Sam's cash on the downlow.

Oh you smart ass Amr Moussa, a cowardly pimp who has now jumped on the bandwagon when its "safe" to come out so openly against the Gaza blockage. Where were you Oh Amr when the white phosphorus was raining down on the women and children of Gaza? Where were you and your lousy Arab League when the dismembered parts of children were posted on websites and families were killed with the weapons that the US provides? Where was your bravery then? Its a pathetic and typical response from a group of self inflated pompous Arabs who have done so little for "the Cause." As a Palestinian I spit on you and your Arab League. I hope the people of Gaza put you in your place.

Terry Scott knows what he is talking about for sure

I still wonder, how many packs a day Obama is doing now.

Yeah really, where was the Arab League? I believe they were hiding and being very careful not to offend their rabid neighbor, the one that has the ability to reach out and touch you. The one that takes billions of dollars from the USA in the form of advanced communications technology, hellfire missiles, warships, anti-personnel explosives, jet fighter bomber aircraft and attack helicopters any and or all of which will be used against any offender for little to no reason. (deir Yassin, USS Liberty, Gaza Freedom Flotilla)

Aside from that, about the following statement.
"Hamas seized control of the Strip from Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah forces in 2007."
now we all know that is a bullshit, there was an election, it was monitored by international observers, there was no argument regarding the outcome, Hamas was elected fair and square. AND we all know how corrupt Abbas was then and is today.

Can we ask the editors for fair treatment of history?

What happened to CD's Video of the IDF beating & shooting a Flotilla passenger?

The following story was on CD yesterday morning but dissappeared.

do you know that the united states' government actually pays people to read our postings? though i have a brand new computer that cost me well over $1200.00, it seems that just about every time that i am in the middle of a 300 word post, the script just disappears, and another common dreams editorial soon emerges on my screen. anyone else having problems like that? it just happened again, though this time i was able to retrieve my post. here goes.

egypt should renounce its alliance with israel and form an alliance with turkey. then the arabs would have the leverage to force israel to act reasonably. the only reason carter and begin were at camp david was to bribe sadat to take egypt out of the military equation, thus freeing israel to do what it wished with the weaker states like lebannon and the occupied territories. of course, congress would immediately halt the flow of arms and money to egypt, which would weaken mubarak's hold over his people.

Bring America Back !!!!

***Perhaps if Moussa holds his breath until he turns blue, then the Zionists would stop the blockade, or would they just measure him up for size of casket?

***Same issue as Terry below; if 9 dead peace activists impressed Egypt to loosen its border for Gazans, then why did not 1500 dead Gazans, including 400 innocent children, impress Egypt in January 2008 ??

***If Egypt is so willing, why cannot the flotillas turn into truck caravans of needed food and supplies and come
thru the same border that Moussa just came thru???

This is all too easy, I guess, trucks instead of boats.

Something is happening in the world, but it's only a few small voices at the moment. You know what they say:

A commando team blasts its rifles into a flotilla and a tsunami shows up in Germany.

It appears that Germany is seeking extradition from Poland for a person going by the name of Uri Brodsky. Was he part of the mossad group that murdered Mahmoad al- Malhouh (not sure of the spelling) in Dubai?

I saw a tiny news article, somewhere yesterday, and now I can't find it, nor do I find mention elsewhere.

Is the world community responding to blowback, or is it collateral damage, from the flotilla murders? It's hard to say, but it appears that various countries of the world are being more ethical than either the U.S. or the Israeli government.

All the world stage is a player, and sovereign nations are ditching the script and creating their own parts. PEACE, America and Israel , comes through ensemble playing , and "stars" are no longer on the playbill.

Theatre of Diplomacy? Oh, much better than the Theatre of War.

Wonder which is more useless. The African Union or the Arab League. The paradox of these so called leaders is that the more acceptable they are the less independent and less accountable they are to their populations and the more they are treated with hostility by the west the less control the west has over them. They hate Mugabe, I love Mugabe. The hate Ahmedinijad, I love Ahmedinijad. They Love Tutu, I dont trust slippery Tutu. They love Mandela, I am very suspicious of Mandela. Its that simple. Since when did the West look out for 3rd world nations. History has always been my guide. Call it the illiterate's insight. Not clouded by high falutin jargon BS. Keep it simple

I hope the siege of Gaza is not ended like the U.S. siege of Iraq ended, with another preemptive "shock and awe" bombing and continued military occupation.

Amr Moussa, a mouse that's now roaring.
