  I'm so sick of all the terrorism aroud the world today. What nation doesn't get involved with it?

  My God!!!! We are turning this world into an armed camp.

  What is it going to take for people to understand each other?

  You know it makes me want to stand atop a mountain and scream out. Whats wrong with us? Life is precious and we destroy it for what?

  Is there no Love left in this world for our fellow human beings anymore?

  Thanks jovial. This is just so depressing, no matter what nation has to do it. We've failed to understand the meaning of life and the great gift it truly is.

  Leave it to hyperDOGMA to turn a story about how Israel regrettably needs armored buses to protect them from terrorists who purposely target civilians into another one of his typical anti-Zionist rants.

  The day the Arabs decide they want to live in peace with Israel there will be peace. Unfortunately the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah will settle for nothing less than Israel's destruction and driving every Jew into the sea (Many of whom have lived in Israel for many generations, or are the descendants of Jews that have been forced to flee Arab countries where they faced unspeakable persecution).

  "The day the Arabs decide they want to live in peace with Israel there will be peace."

  I don't believe that's true. Both sides hate each other immensely, & if ones travels to that part of the world one can feel the hate that comes from both sides. Both sides truly despise each other. Human life is precious & valuable and somehow that concept just seems to elude some people. The IDF is no better then Hamas or Hezbollah. In fact, the IDF has more weapons & is thus more powerful then Hamas is. But, they are both extremly brutal.

  Instead of developing buses to shield against some Muslim using the license to deceive thanks to sura 3:28 and 16:106 so the Muslim can dress up like a Rabbi secretly strapped up with bombs (al-taqqiya) as he steps onto a bus crouded with innocent civilians, the leader of Israel needs to tell the Muslims that IF a bus explodes DUE to a Muslim ACTING like a pregnant Jewish woman or a fat Jewish Rabbi, or, IF a bus goes up, or, a rocket is fired from Gaza after it was turned over to the Palestinians to make peace, well, the leader of Israel needs to say, "Go ahead, blow up one of our busses, hurt one of our civilians with your rockets, and, within 24 hours, you will be bowing down to glass and ashes five times a day."

  Israel tried withdrawal, and all they got in return was thousands of rockets lobbed at their civilians.

  I don't see how you make peace with such a mentality; and I don't know how long Israel will continue to show restraint and keep taking it and taking it.

  Israel certainly has the overwhelming might to take back Gaza again if she wanted to... and unfortunately it looks like that day is coming. Israel has no reason to put up with this nonsense anymore, and it won't!

  Hamas can declare "victory" all they want, but Israel will go back into Gaza again and again if needed in order to protect her civilians.

  Stay tuned...

  Strange world those Israelis live in.

  If you drive people from their homes and keep them in limbo for three generations, if you cut off their ability to make a decent living, if you separate them from the graves of their ancestors, if you deny them the right to visit the holy places of their religion, if you continue, after sixty years, to murder them by the hundreds at any provocation--then you might discover that you NEED armored buses.

  Yes, it's a strange world, where both sides are deluded into believing that they are entirely right and the other people are entirely wrong.

  "There is no such thing as a Palestinian people... It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn't exist."

  -- Golda Meir, statement to The Sunday Times, 15 June, 1969.

  "[The Palestinians] are beasts walking on two legs."

  -- Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, "Begin and the 'Beasts,"' New Statesman, June 25, 1982.

  "Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories."

  -- Benyamin Netanyahu, then Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister, former Prime Minister of Israel, speaking to students at Bar Ilan University, from the Israeli journal Hotam, November 24, 1989.

  Well we could go about this exercise in trading recriminations all day long... and it will get absolutely nowhere.

  But here's a real strategy that actually has a chance to bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians (for those who would really like to see peace -- and not just more dead Israelis):

  "Forget Annapolis: Nine Steps to Peace"

  This is my favorite quote. What arrogance.

  "Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial."

  -- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, 25 March, 2001 quoted in BBC News Online

  I'd like to hear that one for myself... I'm an Israeli news junkie and I never heard any such thing ever said by an Israeli leader. And since we don't know the context, who knows what this quote might have actually been about.

  But it still doesn't compare with the never ending barrage of Arab quotes said by Islamic extremists in too many mosques to name, like: "Atbach al Yahud" (kill all the Jews), or Arafat's famous "Jihad, Jihad, Jihad" quote...

  Or you can point to any number of broadcasts on Palestinian TV or Egypts airing of the notorious anti-Semitic forgery "Protocols of the Elders of Zion".

  Or you can pick your favorite quote by Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah or any of the Hamas leaders urging people to kill Jews wherever you can find them, etc., etc.

  But none of that stuff would bother a real anti-Semite...

  Shows you how ignorant you are of Israeli demographics...

  What about all the olive skin Israeli Jews of Sephardic descent, many who came from Arab lands fleeing persecution at the hands of those peace-loving Islamic fanatics?

  These buses work best if the terrorist does not get on board one.... if he does... not much help there..
