Anytime you conduct military operations near civilian populations, for the purpose of attempting to deter your enemy from firing upon you, you are using human beings as shields. You are forcing your enemy to put civilian lives at risk in order to defend themselves from assault.

One incident: http://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/IDF- ... ied-363081

Israel actually investigates when something goes not according to the plan. Hamas doesn't investigate shit but supports terrorist acts by bombing residential areas in Israel.


Answer the question, show me where the Hamas members were. There were reporters all over the area and GASP no one saw any Hamas members with rockets or weapons dumps! All they saw was a bunch of children get murdered, and I don't want some bullshit IDF source that has two sentences saying we're looking into it, I want evidence.

Neither. As hippyish as it sounds, and I'm no hippy, I'm pro-Humanity in this case.

I think what Israel's government is doing at the moment is morally reprehensible, and politically stupid. Aren't there over 500 civilians in Gaza killed so far, and about 1 in 5 are children ? It's very upsetting.
I would hope Israel would realise it needs to stop soon if it doesn't want the USA and the EU to turn against it.
I think Israel should use the Iron Dome to protect it's civilians, never retaliate, but show the world what it has to go through with Hamas controlled Gaza and show it's restraint to the world.
I also would hope that anyone who is vehemently opposed to Israel would realise it's surrounded by countries that hate it, and want to see it wiped off the map.

The Palestinian's need to be EQUALLY respected. They need land to build very much needed infrastructure, and there are a majority in those tiny pockets of land that just want to live in peace with their families, and live their lives like the rest f us, so anyone who is opposed to Palestine should realise that to ignore the legitimate plight of the Palestinians is ethnic cleansing. Full stop.

And don't bother replying to this post if you're a fanatical Pro-Palestinian/Pro-Iraeli. I'm not gonna argue with you.
Peace.

It is just not a fare contest, Israel know the rockets will do nothing, they just want more land


Maybe because Israel is richer?

How the hell can people 'feel bad for Hamas' because they have lesser weapons? Should people also feel bad for ISIS then, because they have lesser weapons than the US?


I do not fee; bad for Hamas, I feel bad for the people who are being blown up by another country.

The PLO did not exist at that point and if one Palestinian saying we supported the Nazi's means the PLO has links to the Nazi's then every nation in Europe has links to the Nazi party.

Haj Mohammed Effendi Amin el-Husseini

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Amin_al-Husayni
During World War II he collaborated with both Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy by making propagandistic radio broadcasts and by helping Germans recruit Bosnian Muslims for the Waffen-SS. On meeting Adolf Hitler he requested backing for Arab independence and support in opposing the establishment in Palestine of a Jewish national home. At war's end, he came under French protection, and then sought refuge in Cairo to avoid prosecution.

And? I can list off Nazi collaborators from every nation in Europe. Does that mean those nations are all Nazi's today and have links to the Nazi party?

It doesn't really matter how much damage the rockets do or how effective Iron Dome is. No country should be subject to attacks from within a foreign territory. And that is why I really hate this "Hamas does barely any damage" sentiment, because it's practically irrelevant in the context and is pretty antagonistic to those living in Israel all same.

Also Israel did kind of steal all the land they have.

A vast over-simplification of the early 20th century land deals and the Palestine mandate. Look, regardless of how the land was divided there are still 7 million jews living in that strip of land. "The land technically isn't yours, tough shit" isn't going to fix any problems in the middle east.
Yes.

Even if we take your claim to be true, that doesn't mean Palestine is fascist. How can a country be fascist if they have elections?
