Well, the first thing I would do is demand some kind of accountability from Hamas. If Muslims debated the policy of bombardment of Sderot as hard as they debated everything else, they might get somewhere.
Try this out:
Malik: Hamas launched over 3,000 rockets into Israel last year.
Muhammed: But every time they do that Israel closes the border and the Gazans suffer.
Malik: Yes, the siege is unmerciful, and inshallah Israel will be pushed into the sea!
Muhammed: Pushed into the sea? What are you smoking brother? They are sick, poor and living in refugee camps. The rockets just seem to piss them off more, and make things worse for our people.
Malik: Yes, but this does not effect me, and it is a matter of Muslim pride!
Muhammed: Pride my brown butt, those people are suffering while you are safe and warm. Perhaps we should pursue peace, this "pushing them into the sea is not working out so well!"
Malik: But Hamas told us that they would destroy Israel!
Muhammed: Yes, and in the West when a politician makes a campaign promise and it makes the plight of the people gets worse, they get voted out of office!
Malik: When is the next election? Or was it delayed due to the rocket fire?
Muhammed: Arafat was only elected once, I don't think Hamas will be holding elections any time soon. But, there is a new sport in Gaza!
Malik: What is that?
Muhammed? Watching the rubble bounce.....
Nope, the Serbians don't really appreciate American terrorism and neither do Muslims. That Kosovo thing of yours hasn't solved any problems, but created more problems for the future. Nothing a few dead American soldiers in the Balkans can't handle, right?

All well and good; but who is going to help the Palestinians in doing that? Hamas is their leadership; it would be better to work with Hamas, instead of isolating them.
Listen those guys are your bas.tards. If they are bad then why do you white people support them ?
Most of the dictators throw out the cold war were supported by the colonial thugs.
Oh, a billion muslims, and all of these leaders are in power because of the US?
Gosh we are powerful beyond belief!
I just argued with some guy who took the position that Saddam only killed 300,000 Iraqis, not 400,000, and that was not so bad. And you want to know why the Muslim world has bad leaders? When a Muslim leader slaughters 300k Muslims (only) and the rest of the Muslim yawns, or worse yet, defends his actions, then you are on your own buddy. You just don't get it.
I never believed that Saddam had WMD. I did believe that he had committed Genocide. How many Genocides does a Muslim leader get before Muslims get pissed off?
A 100k Kurds is just an Oooops?
When you hold Muslim leaders to the same standard that you hold the west, then you will be on your way. As it is now, Muslims are happy with a double standard. They revel in the mistakes of the US instead of spending their time and energy fighting for change in their own realm. Lawyers get bloody in the streets and somebody starts a thread saying there is more freedom of speech in Pakistan? Do you think anybody really believes that?
^^ That seems to be working out well. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
What else do you want?
Remember Jews and Muslims are practically the same people and they believe in "Never to forgive and never to forget". One of the reasons why America shouldn't be in the Middle East in the first place.
You don't seem to think that US support for these dictators matters; and yet you still blame Muslims for inaction. Trust me, things are happening, and the US coddled dictators will be a thing of the past. Egypt, Saudi and Jordan will no longer be US allies.
Once these dictators are gone and overthrown by their populations, don't expect the Muslim people to act all friendly towards the US or Israel.
If you want to talk about Zionists killing thousands of people please be honest enough to mention how many innocent people Muslims have killed as well. If it was a competition Muslims would win 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
If you're talking about Israel & Palestine, you should probably take a look at the statistics before running your mouth.
According to B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, during the Second Intifadah (2000-present), almost 4500 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli security forces. Of them, almost 900 were minors; and over 2000 were not taking part in the hostilities. In contrast, the Palestinians have killed a grand total of just over 1000 Israelis; 705 civilians (including 119 minors), and 326 soldiers.
Despite all the talk of suicide bombings, the fact remains that more than 4 Palestinians are killed for every Israeli.
Thousands of rockets have been launched into Israel from Gaza over the past year aimed at Israeli towns, it's not like the Palestinians aren't trying to kill Israelis.

And can you blame them? I would kill those who occupied my land as well.
The Jews in their 60 years of the existence of the state of Israel have not killed as many Muslims, nor displaced as many Muslims as Saddam did in half that time. But what the heck, let's blame the Jews. A billion Muslims can rot under corrupt and vile leaders, but as long as we can blame the Jews for our misery it's all good! And so much easier! Rather than reform the Islamic world, a rather hard bit of work mind you, as long as the focal point of Israel remains, the despots are safe.
You seem to be neglecting the rather well-established fact that the entire time Saddam was gassing Kurds, electrocuting Shias, and butchering Iranians, he was doing so with the tacit approval of the United States...and in fact, was using weapons supplied by his American benefactors for most of his genocidal campaigns.
It's so easy to denounce the Muslim world for "allowing" themselves to be ruled by these "corrupt and vile leaders." But what armchair experts like yourself fail to realize is that behind virtually every Muslim despot there is some neo-colonial western power. Do you honestly believe these leaders are popular in their own countries? Most of these despotic regimes are foisted onto these people by Western governments (a notable exception is Iran's draconian regime, which was created as a reaction to a despotic Western-backed government)...and its absolutely absurd to pin all the blame for their existence solely on the Muslim masses.
The Palestinian children have no future either way, so they would rather die with honor, rather than live under humiliation.
I suppose to live in proverty and knowing that over 1.5 billion dollars have been stolen by corrupt officals (Arafat and company) would be humilating. To know that billions of dollars in aid given to Palestinians which was meant to be used to improve infrastructure instead was diverted to terror organizations would be upsetting.
