That's a typical reaction from the Hollywood left. Why, wasn't some years ago that Vanessa Redgrave stood up at some Hollywood function and nearly kissed Yassar Arafat's backside with a litany supporting the PLO and the Arab community vis - a - vis Israel? Speaking of which, has anyone seen the protest of the Israeli's response to the Hamas air strikes, where in Miami, on television a few days ago, some Arab women dressed in traditional Arab clothing were chanting "Go back to the ovens!" to people who were attending a Holocaust memorial event? That 's pretty sick.

Ok Roseann, you should be ashamed of yourself. You being a Jew of all people to make such a comment. Don't you think Israel has endured enough crap from the surrounding countries. You expect them to be attacked and sit idly by and do nothing about it. Please, if the arabs and Hamas had their way, they would eradicate the Jewish state of Israel altogether. So please think twice about your comments.

No matter who's right or wrong, there are human being's that did not and should have had to pay the ultimate price for the action's of their leader's.
In my opinion, they are using these innocent people as human shields for their wars.
Shame on them.

Why should isreal or any one else pay not to be shot at or have missles rain in on them or there country. I don't always agree with what isreal or any other country does. but we had 911 here @ home along with peal harbor & other peopal critizes us for those actins we took. we didn't ask to be attack.I seaved along time ago for our country when people said i was stupid.I feel proud for serving because we have problems here @home,but i'll live here than anywhere else.I beleive we should take care of ourselves first as far as helping each other out,because charityy begins at home.I'm tired of seeing ads on tv begging for money for other countries but yet we can't seem to help ourselves out or those less fortunenate,because people here at home ethier say it's there problem or is afraid of being seen as bieng weak in front of there freinds. somtimes it takes more to stand up for what's right because you might have to stand alone to be counted just like rosanne.At least we still can speak our opions here @ home in the U S A.many of people complain but no-one wants to step forward & do what's right here at home.many because of being seen as weak or of getting involed.Somtimes it just takes a helping hand in a kind word or gseture without passing judgement or condeming our fellow citizen.

Roseanne has a right to her opinion. It may be extreme but it is hers and as such can be freely expressed. Her looks and weight have nothing to do with this topic.

Who threw the first stone? That is the way of the world since it
first began and will always be the way. I don't condone the
actions of either side. When will this stupidity and horror
end? It is happening all over
Asia, Africa et al. And who is
paying the price? The innocents
of course, not the ones who keep fighting and don't tell me
otherwise. One side is as bad as the other.

*sigh* Inhumane atrocities on innocents and children are never excused. Must we have stereotypes and blame all races for the terrorist act? It just isn't fair! Rosanne, in the face of injustice, you GO GIRL!

To some extent I believe both sides are wrong but do think Israel's retaliations have been acts of over-kill designed to intimidate and subdue. Israel seems to be making statements such as "We are the most powerful. Back waaay off."

that is disgusting language, you can say so much without being so hateful and evil....whether they are Arabs or Israeli's, they are all HUMAN....
Israel needs to back up a bit, they are both in the wrong and it's always the children that has to suffer so much more, this should come to an end, both countries should sought out peace instead of this war that has gone on since the beginning of time, can't they just make peace already with one another...

Roseanne "no talent" Barr,should take her friends Annie Lennox and Bianca Jagger and live in southern Israel and let the rockets fall on their hypocritcal heads or more importantly their BIG NON FACTUAL MOUTH'S! They would be the first tho run ! Rosenane,if we sent rockets on your head how long do you expect to take it ? And by the way HAMAS NOT ISRAEL started this war.And the people of Gaza,Democratically elected HAMAS, so HAMAS ,not Israel is to Blame !Where is you and your friends BIG mouth when Israel was being bombed.? Didn't here from you guys! Where was you Big mouth when Bosnia was happening? Please go live with your arab brother and you'll be lucky they don't cut your head off, as they hate both Jews and Christians of which thankfully know one would want to claim YOU.We live in the USA maybe you could go get some good mental health care is it is seriously overdue

people killed in Palestine are innocent citizens mostly women and children. What wrong did they do to the Israeli people?
I very much condemn their action in Palestine.

I'm not sure what "retaliation" you all are talking about. Are you not aware that Gaza has been under a blockade for the past 18 months, starving?? Did you know that Palestine is internationally illegal occupied territory? They are OCCUPIED. And Israel broke the ceasefire on November 4th. Look it up on anything except US news (for e.g. the UK).

Yes, she is entitled to her opinion, however, there is a time and place for everything and, imo, it was not the time nor the place to make such a statement. She's just ignorant.
