I know that the US is Israel’s biggest ally but I am confused on what is going on. Israel’s ground forces have just entered the Gaza Strip and my question is how will this affect the US and other parts of the world?

Once Israel beats Hamas, the world will sleep better at night knowing these animal terroriss training children to prepare to die; are now al gone. There will be less terrorist minds plotting in the world; less US/Israel haters, and money wise I think this will impact a but of the Oil industry for the positive on the side of the U.S.

US blind support for Israeli aggression makes us more vulnerable to Islamic terror attacks

Whatever Israel does will not affect the US, since the US government is controlled by Israel. It is shameful that the most powerful nation on the planet is controlled by a foreign country. And it is amazing that the US is one of the leading nations on the war on terrorism, however they are the biggest supporter of a terrorist nation called Israel.

It is very sad what is happening over there and sadder that the world is just sitting down and watching. What everyone needs to understand is even if hamas sends 100 rockets to Israel they are homemade rockets so 100 of their rockets wont even equal to 1 of Israels bombs.
The US is helping and defending Israel and that is going to hurt the US even more. There are many Muslims and arabs and non Muslims and non arabs that are against this holocaust that is going on over there I think if you really look into what is going on over there you will understand it better , I see alot of people who get into tears over the coldness that is there for the Palestinians. And they are killing children and woman and civilians NOT hamas .Look up occupation 101 on youtube and you will understand the story from the start.
So the US helping Israel is only gonna get more and more people to hate America!! The US knows Israel is committing war crimes daily and all they do is defend them and say that Israel has a right to defend itself well guess what Palestine is going to defend itself too, they are humans and they have the right to live a decent life. They dont even have electricity to hospitals now in gaza its sooo sad !!

Israel is creating terrorism and genocide. Hamas kills 6, Israel kills nearly 500 who are mainly civilians, babies, women, families……do the numbers. As I write this Israel is launching a ground attack. Against who? The civilians!!!! They want that land, they want to wipe the Arabs Christian and Muslims off the map.

there would be more terrorists who believe that would not happen if US did not support Israel,they will attack Americans and Israelis every where for revenge.Well I am Muslim but I do not believe in that,Qur’an forbids us from killing innocents for the fault of someone else.Peace

Because I’m actually educated heavily on the subject – I should let you all know that we support the side of right and good. In this case – it’s the inoccent Jews fighting the EVIL they are surrounded by.
face it – you live in the greatest nation that ever sat on this planet. You conspiracey theorists are causing desention which causes more U.S. boys to die for your safety. Stop being contrarions and support your great nation. Or please leave it. You are hindering progress and that is costing us brave men.

It is in the self-interest of usa to have a peacefull world. So, it is the same for the good of humanity. That means the world and the world inhabitants. That answers in general your question. As to specifics, it is not in the self-interest of humanity to sponsor and to take sides with “Hamas (not humous)” an idology whose time has long gone from the history books. In fact “the political entity hamas” is considered both by USA and Canada –among other nations a terrorist organization. You draw your own conclusion as to why Israel had to defend itself and its inhabitants from “mortar attacks” from their neighbors, the hamas regime. Hope it helps.

The ruthless massacres taking place executed by the Israeli military machine are aimed at unarmed people. Hundreds of innocent people fell dead as mortars and many injured in the first few hours of the massacre.
Such development is unprecedented in its nature and can not be justified in any way. It can not be met with silence. The air strikes and the appalling attacks are being concentrated over a small stretch of land which has the highest human concentration in the world. What is happening is an unreserved mass murder carried out upon the inhabitants.
The human nature can only be shocked at the terrifying and murdering of an entire nation taking place. With all the horrifying details appearing as events unfold. It is noticed that the air raids take place at the time when children are leaving their schools maximizing terror and death amongst children. Religious worship places were bombed with worshipers inside. This makes this military operation a barbaric and savagery assault.
In the face of this massive situation and the horrendous massacres which seem to be still at the start of a greater campaign, we stand with the Palestinian people in the Gaza strip. We wish to show our brotherly and strong human solidarity with these people. The people of Gaza have suffered a strangling blockade for over two years. The blockade has affected all the basic vital life support services in Gaza. On top of that, the people of Gaza are now under fire by the invading military fighter planes minute by minute.

from now on, whenever I hear the word ‘Holocaust’ I’m going to think about what Israel did to women and children this week
July 26th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Good point Tim. No one should sympathise with Jews and their Holocaust if they envoke the same terror on others.
July 27th, 2009 at 1:05 am
What is happening is a Holocaust that is going to affect the whole world, not just the US. Today alone, the headline news on BBC read “Israeli strike on gaza school kills 30″. It is a UN school and it was used as a shelter by the civilians. The UN had guarantees form the Israelis that they won’t attach schools. No body (including jews) with any human sense can support this, regardless of religion. Find out by yourself, stop watching CNN and Fox-news…

First of all, Pacifists around the world are up in arms saying that Israel should talk their way into a peace with Gaza residents.
Israel was bombed by residents of Gaza. One question answered by some nutjob on this forum called them “Home-made.” If in calling them home-made means that they were manufactured in Iran and Russia and sent to Gaza via tunnels, he would have been correct.
Imagine New Jersey as Gaza and New York as Israel. Now imagine residents of New Jersey are angry, upset, and irritated at New Yorkers.
Now imagine New Jersey residents launching “home-made” rockets into New York randomly for months on end.
Do you suppose New Yorkers would sit idly by and watch?
Israel isn’t sitting idly by and NO amount of talking is going to convince violent, angry, hateful, spiteful, people(Gaza residents) to stop their aggression againts Israel.
In fact, the US is not doing enough to help Israel.
If it were our country, the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, and National Guard would be all over New Jersey residents if they were guilty of launching rockets into New York.
Hamas is an enemy of the State of Israel.
How difficult is this to understand?
How difficult is it to understand that peace talks have failed and this was a last resort for Israel?
