You've pointed out plain & simple.

Even those stupid coward pigs will comprehend it.lol

This's the jew/zion way with their mass media
and support of the papa US.

Their daily lying propaganda in which operates 24/7 ''nonstop'' before & after their gutless conducts/attacks only to convert people's mind, distort the facts also gain some sympathy (while the exaggerated version of holohoax will 'always' come handy!lol) is losing it's affects for, people around the world are awaken and won't fall for the same retarded insulting tactics.

Free Palestine- Palestine for Palestinians ONLY.

ADD: ......LOL.......this's my 2nd answer!
...........God, you jews/zions are ''pure'' entertainment!

The usual wussy COWARDS who are busy reporting ''LOL'' have nothing to show for but their little girlish manners (as usual!) thus keep reporting!!?....ha!

Even DOGS have more courage than these people!lol

-Israel is holding Gazans in a siege.

-Israel monitors all land and sea border crossings (except the border with Egypt), so Gazans cannot travel and trade with the outside world and earn a living.

-Working with the Bush administration, Israelis got the US to force Egypt to seal the Gaza border on the Sinai side, so Gazans are completely trapped within a tiny piece of territory, dependent on meager handouts from the UN. Malnutrition among Palestinian children and lack of proper healthcare is common.

-Israel does not allow humanitarian aid from other Arab countries.

-Gazans are simply seeking reopening of the border so that they can trade and help themselves. But Israel wants them to suffer, so that they would turn against Hamas and accept Israeli-Fatah dominance.

Israel, unfortunately, is actually somewhat responsible for both the rockets entering and leaving its cities. By not stopping the continued settlement of Palestinian land, it is continuing a policy of expansion that has outlived its usefulness. The initial expansions of the country in the beginning resulted in 700,000 Palestinians have to become refugees in neighboring countries. As well, though there were massacres on both sides of the conflict, Israel has committed far more of them.

The self-identity of Israel is really Israel's main problem... not Hezbollah or Hamas. By not reviewing its status in the region... as a strong political and military power... and that it does not need to fear another holocuast anymore... the Jewish government places itself in a very dangerous position. The nationalist movements like the PLO have slowly been changed into radical islamic movements. This will make negotiation MUCH more difficult for Israel.

Israel must take responsibility for the plight of the Palestinians, and make every effort to stop the expansion of new settlements into Palestinian areas. Expansion only provokes the Palestinians, reminding them of their initial exodus during the 1948 massacres. IN turn, the Palestinians feel their only recourse is to fire rockets... which nations like Iran are ready to supply.

Israel is chasing its own tail... and needs to reassess its political identity. As do Western countries, so that real dialog can take place about the creation and maintenance of a two-state solution. The alternative will be losing the opportunity to negotiate with the Palestinians directly, and instead having to deal with ever growing movements run by foreign islamic jihadi organizations.

ā™� uh yeah

why are you only focusing at what the Israelis are doing and making the Palestinians out to be innocent little angels?

In an effort to make peace, Israel gave up Gaza on the condition that Hamas, the Palistinian terrorist group, wouldnt use the strip to launch attacks on Israel. yet, even after Palestine agreed to that, they have launched over 3000 attacks in this year alone. And for a whole week there were attacking Israel and no one said ANYTHING. And now, when all Israel is doing is defending itself and its people from terrorists, people have a stick up their asses about it! what the hell? Any country has the right to protect itself from attackers. If I punched you in the face would you just sit there? No you would do something.

& Besides, Hamas was directing their attacks at innocent civilians, while Israel specifically targeted Hamas

Israel needs to do whatever it should to defend itself against a bunch of nomads who have specifically said they dont even think Israel should exist.

Difference: Terrorists and Hamas target civilians specifically. Israel targets Hamas specifically and tries to avoid hurting civilians. Hamas realizes this and hides in schools and hospitals.

Hamas attacks without warning to maximize civilian death. Israel often drops leaflets stating when/where they will attack so civilians can get out... which can be used by Hamas/Hezbolla/etc. to set up ambushes and prepare... Israeli troops are risking their own lives to prevent civilian casualties...

Israel honored the cease fire, and didn't fight back despite more than 3000 rockets from Gaza launched at their citizens... Once the ceasefire is over, they counterattack. Hamas broke the ceasefire, Israel showed more patience than any nation in the world would've... If ONE rocket is ever sent into US territory, there'd be war immediately.

Here is a basic question you can try to answer:

Who does Hamas specifically target? Civilians or Military?
Who does Israel specifically target? Civilians or terrorist organizations?

Why is it Hamas hides in and launches their attacks from civilian encampments?
Then when civilian casualties occur they blame their opponents.
So, it's ok for them to attack civilian entities and cause casualties but it's not ok for Israel to attack their military encampments which are embedded in civilian areas.
Cowards. They like hiding behind and using women and children for shields.

Let's take a look what the Palestinian missiles have caused:

It was a miracle from God that many more Israelis were not murdered from these bombs. Israel acted in self defense of its civilian population which has been subject to more than ten thousand rockets in the past eight years and finally responded. It gave sufficient warning to the settlers in Gaza that it will defend Israel against such attacks. Hamas is manufacturing and firing weapons on purpose from areas where civilians, even children, live in order to try to get world sympathy for it.

Terrorism: Deliveratively targeting civilians

Military action: Deliveratively targeting military and government targets while trying to avoid collateral damage to civilians.

Actually both sides have fired around the same number of rockets/missiles. The difference is that most of Hamas' rockets/missiles land in empty fields or deserts because they don't have guidance systems. Israel has spent a lot of money on weapons with guidance systems to avoid civilian deaths. That's why the reported civilian deaths are only around 12%.

Was there a warning before Israel attacked back? Yes, it gave sufficient time for the Palestinians in Gaza to evacuate.
Was there a warning before Hamas attacked? None at all.

Israel already tried to negotiate. It gave back Gaza and West Bank and attacks continued -- thousands of missiles were sent flying into Israel from those territories after that. Israel made efforts to negotiate. Attacks still continued. In fact, they increased *dramatically*. So, what people are constantly saying about how Israel needs to give the land back now is clearly mumbo-jumbo. Yes, it needs to do it, but only once there's no threat. This is what it's like dealing with Hamas, to put it into perspective: Let's say someone, God forbid, takes out a gun on you and tries to kill you. He shoots you a few times. You manage to wrestle that gun away. Everyone suddenly jumps on your neck and criticizes you for taking it away. You give it back (although who in the right mind would do that? I'd say that takes a lot of trust, wouldn't you?). The man takes back the gun and fires even more bullets at you. Naturally, you take it away again. The guy takes out a knife and charges at you, and people are saying that the reason he's attacking you is cause you did not return his gun to him.
Alright, granted, his family might need that gun for hunting for instance, for survival. However, the man (i.e. Hamas) is not using the gun to help his own people thrive in peace. He's using it to kill you instead. Wouldn't you think that you'd trust him more if he wouldn't fire at you and shield himself with his own family from your attacks, then calling you a murderer?

So, now that missiles are being launched into Israel without warning, well... let's see.. negotiation didn't work, giving the land back didn't work, building a wall didn't work... and now there's an attack... I guess there's only one thing left to do, and that's defend. Logical? Yep. Especially when Hamas is purposefully =targeting= civilians, whereas Israel is doing its best to avoid casualties. Some people seem to be under the impression that Hamas is doing the right thing? So, now it's Israel's fault that it's attacked despite its attempts to negotiate, despite it having given the land back, and so on? And it must defend aggressively because when you've got a crapload of rockets purposefully fired into Israel's public places every day to maim innocents, while Hamas militants are running around hiding behind innocent Palestinians who have nothing to do with the battle you're fighting a messy war.
Hamas isn't fighting Isreal's army: it's trying to wipe out the people living in Israel. Don't be fooled: there are many children in Israel too. I know it's surprising, but yeah. So, if you're for Hamas, then logically you must think that firing rockets to specifically target places with children without any warning to evacuate those areas is a riteous act that supercedes Israel's response. So, it's OK for Hamas to target and kill kids but it's not OK for Israel to retaliate because of innocent casualties (and I'm not saying it's a good thing. It's terrible! But, it is a fact).

Innocents are dying in Gaza. // Well, yes but it's hard to target terrorists who launch missiles from public places. It's trying to avoid casualties by targeting Hamas-operated sites, but it's very difficult NOT to have casualties. Israel has them too. And if US was being attacked -- if Mexico had attacked the states even though all the aforementioned negotiations and conditions were attempted (giving land back, ceasefires, building a wall..etc), there would be only one thing left to do. Honestly, though, it sucks that this is happening and that innocent Palestinians are victimized -- it more than sucks. It's a terrible tragedy -- the loss of life is tragedy. War is tragedy. Period.

But I think telling a country it doesn't have the right to defend itself is just sick. I'm not saying killing innocent Palestinian children is not sick, but purposeful targetting on behalf of the Palestinian militants of public places, children, youth, and the elderly is no less sick.

One thing's for sure though. A country has the right to respond to aggression with aggression when all other methods have failed. Such is the case here.

Oh, of course, there's one thing Israel hadn't tried yet, and that's blowing itself up.

All bitter sarcasm aside, again, I think this whole thing is a tragedy.

Peace to the Mid-East,

Self-defense means fighting the other's ability to attack.
When terrorist cowards are launching missiles from behind women and kids, it's their fault if they get hurt.

Hezbollah/Hamas have sown the wind and now they will reap the whirlwind. Israel has made every effort to demostrate they want to have peace with their neighbors, Hezbollah/Hamas has made it clear they do not want peace they are responsible for any innocent deaths by their continual rocket attacks and homicide bombers.

Israel fights because they have to,
others attack because they want to.
