Attempting Genocide with rockets that have to have most of its explosive warhead removed to be even able to reach Israeli territory and might kill a handful of people on a really, really lucky day. Good one.

When Israeli casualties even begin to reach half the amount of Palestinian casualties, then using the term "genocide" won't come off as pure bullshit.


So what exactly do you propose then? When the rockets drop just "take" it and act like nothing happens?

Doesn't change the fact that Hamas is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.


And I can be dedicated to total world domination but if I'm nowhere near achieving even a bit of it I'm only going to be laughed at.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Crack down on the settlements. That would take a lot of wind out of Hamas's justifications for sending bottle rockets over. Then again without Hamas, Israel wouldn't have a justification to bomb the shit out of Palestinians and grab their lands either.

Let's say that Hamas get's "lucky" and kill 1 or a few? What do you suggest then? Ignore it as well? A few lives don't matter right?

It's quite unreasonable to expect any country to tolerate rocket attacks against their people regardless if said rocket attacks result in small amounts of physical casualties.

Because the Palestinians bending over with their pants down while Israeli settlers sodomize them out of land will result in peace. For the Israeli settlers.

Have you seen me supporting expanding the settlements? No. In fact I agree with you that's wrong and disgusting. But Hamas using continued rocket attacks and expect the Israelis to just wither it is insane and unreasonable.

Hamas is to blame because they constantly commit to violence instead of peace.

Maybe because peace and diplomacy not only got them nowhere, but earned them further Israeli settlements in their territory.

It didn't. Israel pulled settlements out of Gaza in 2006 and Hamas doesn't rule the West Bank.

Hamas gaining rule is one of the reasons why peace is unlikely. The other is the sheer jingoism of Netanyahu.

Now, the wronger are the Palestinians. If they used diplomacy rather than strait-up tried to genocide the Israeli, nor tried to do it again repetitively during the course of the year, they wouldn't be in such deep shit nowadays.

The Palestinians have never attempted genocide. Stop lying.

Their aim has ALWAYS been genocide. It was adopted as their leadership's policy in 1920, and while some major factions have said they were no longer pursuing genocide as an aim, at every time there have been major factions, such as Hamas at present, who continue to hold genocide as their official aim.

Since the Israeli evacuation of Gaza there has never been a year without rocket attacks from there; there has seldom even been a month without attacks.

there is a difference between rocket attacks and hamas rocket attacks.

i would consider a month with literally 1 rocket to be splitting hairs. and when the number of rockets fired a month goes from 4 to 2,874 you know that something has gone pretty badly.
