#1 an intergalactic freak show of communists, socialists and at least one literary fraud.

Yet another example of Blair's Law - the ongoing process by which the world's multiple idiocies are becoming one giant, useless force.

#2 Putting these idiots under some continuous and accurate Hamas fire might do wonders for them.

Nah.... who am I kidding.

They are completely mad.

Toss them into ISIS territory and let them deal with the scum lefties. I hear crucifixion is all the rage there.

#3 Darth Vader. Putting these idiots under some continuous and accurate Hamas fire might do wonders for us.

#4 They are not useless, they have much power.
I am always surprised by the blindness of our side to others strength.
It is called hubris.

The power of this kind of people made Communism stay much longer than normal circumstances.

This operation has been a PR disaster of giant proportions. I hope they hit Hamas hard because if they didn't they are even more idiot than i think. And Hamas not wanting to sign a cease fire i see points for the other option.

Hamas wins with Israeli and Palestinian deaths.
That is the journalists work of art

(BBC, Telegraph, Guardian etc jut to talk about English ones).

Unfair for many Palestinians and Israelis . Yes but world is not fair.

So Israel should make small continuously operations instead of this big operations that enter in people minds because the media only writes about Israel retaliations.

We are not wining if we don't get a strategic victory over Hamas.

#5 Anything these people oppose, is the right thing to do.

#6 One notable signer was a former close friend and mentor of President Barack Obama, former PLO spokesman Professor Rashid Khalidi. Obama has credited Khalidi with helping shape his political worldview.

Interesting. But not surprising.

Among the other signers were Nobel peace laureates Desmond Tutu, Betty Williams, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Jody Williams, Adolfo Peres Esquivel, Mairead Maguire and Rigoberta Menchu.

Also signing were academic Noam Chomsky, filmmakers Mike Leigh and Ken Loach, musicians Roger Waters and Brian Eno, writers Alice Walker and Caryl Churchill, and journalists John Pilger and Chris Hedges.

So I've heard of two of these zeroes looking for relevance (not counting the President, of course).

Perhaps some of you educated Burgers have heard of more than Noam and Desmond?

#7 These people should volunteer to become human shields in Gaza. The Gazookians would probably shoot them themselves and then blame it on the Jews.

#9 Zorba Fleresh4606, I disagree. This is not a PR mishap, sane folks who don't normally pay attention are realizing that Israel is finding tunnels everywhere and rockets that don't stop. Hamas is realizing that their rockets don't work against Iron Dome and they look very week, and Israel is doing what needs to be done.

Israel needs to realize no matter what they do the same folks are gonna hate them, so they need to do what they have to do. Talk peace all you want, but make sure that the talks take long enough the Pals are desperate. Then tell the media that they are talking and making progress and sugar-coat the hell out of it until the job is done.

#10 "Among the other signers were Nobel peace laureates Desmond Tutu, Betty Williams, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Jody Williams, Adolfo Peres Esquivel, Mairead Maguire and Rigoberta Menchu."

When did Federico get a Nobel prize? Was he part of a group that was awarded one?

#11 Rigoberta Menchu is still accepted in polite society? Didn't it turn out that almost every single thing in her biography and career was either a fraud or a scam?

#12 I did some research, yup she's a liar, and not to be believed.

#13 The crowd is so predictable as in Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton predicable. It is what they do.

#14 I realize that, for some strange reason, Pilger and Chomsky still have some cred in wild-eyed circles. But surely the presence of Cynthia McKinney is your Seal of Stupidity -- your guarantee that this letter and its signers need not be taken seriously.
