You do know that comparison is not even close to the same. Israel is comparable to Germany. They have Palestine caged up, and they are killing them. GENOCIDE. You are the one so deceived, and after reading this last post of yours I have decided that there is no hope for you. I can't waste anymore of my time reading your brainwashed post's. I leave you to your ignorance.
You are talking about yourself in this post. I can't believe you don't see it. BRAINWASHED WAKE UP. STOP SUPPORTING THE GENOCIDE OF REAL SEMITIC PEOPLE.
LOL, yeah, tell that to the Germans and Japanese killed by disproportionate firepower. I guess it is only bad when Jews do it eh? The ignorance of Hamas tactics is rife for some. - - - Updated - - - Typical. Jews aren't real. The rockets Hamas fires are not real. Hamas Charter is not real.
Of course UNICEF who state that the IOF are massacring ten children a day, are an Hamas front: https://twitter.com/UNICEFpalestine/status/491587547034710017 E-International Relations website reports: 'While the conflict has generated near blanket international media coverage it has been strangely ignored by the three most prominent and vociferous organisations established to promote the idea of "The Responsibility to Protect", namely The International Coalition for the Responsibility to Protect (ICRtoP), the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (GCR2P) and the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (APCR2P)... 'Since the operation began these groups have published myriad tweets, posts and articles – on issues ranging from the rights of women, the treatment of refugees, mass atrocity cries and the provision of medical aid... Yet, coverage of the crisis in Gaza has been negligible.' http://www.e-ir.info/2014/07/15/a-propensity-to-ignore-r2p-advocacy-and-the-crisis-in-gaza/
Please cite the figures and quote their sources and then relate these to those figures cited in media reports. We're all waiting with baited breath.
Between 2002 and 2004 Israeli planes sprayed toxic chemicals on small vegetable farms of the Negev Bedouin.. Now they go after them with airstrikes.
Previous to Hamas rockets and the propaganda war they strapped bombs on useful idiots to blow up among civilians.
If you want, we can continue the "who started what and when" until we arrive at the root cause of the current phase. How about it? You see, suicide bombings and rockettes didn't just suddenly appear out of a metaphorical clear blue sky like propaganda sponges and Israeli apologists for the massacre of children want us to believe. But I suspect deep down you really knew that anyway. I mean, nobody can be THAT dumb.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Language, History and Archeology substantiate ownership of the Land and not hordes of Islamic conquerors that came in the Seventh Centurey... sooooo who came first the egg or the chicken?
Arabs were in Palestine by 700 BC.. They settled in Samaria. Do you even KNOW what caused the formation of the PLO or Hamas?
Taxcutter asks: Are you denying that Hamas stashes ammunition in schools? Are you denying that Hamas launches rockets from hospital buildings and grounds? Even the very pro-Hamas UN says that Hamas routinely does such things. Iraqis did the same tricks. The Israelis don't stash ammo in schools. The Israelis fire weapons from sites far from any civilians. That way civilians are not hit by counterbattery fire.
This is why wars of revenge never end until one or both parties decide to end it. Hamas is a new political entity that was created out of the detritus of a once proud people that had no say in their own affairs starting hundreds of years ago. The Ottomans did not care about them, the Turks didn't care, the other Arab states did not care, Britain did not care, the US did not care, the Zionists did not care and the UN did not care. So, they got out smarted by European Jews working for decades to fulfill their dream of a Jewish state in Palestine. With the complicity of everyone but the people of Palestine and the combined guilt of the world over WW2, they succeeded in pestering Truman to grant them a nation based upon Zionism. The people that lived in Palestine for thousands of years did not engage in pogroms, genocide or anti-semitism to the degree that Christian Europe did for centuries. The people of Palestine did not kill millions in gas chambers or displace even more millions via war. They were not players in WW2. The powers that engaged in systematic persecution of Jews for centuries did not pay for their sins, they just washed their hands of it and made the people in Palestine pay. This is the source of all the trouble in Israel today. And you blame some of them for fighting back? The same people who think the Palestinians have no moral right to fight back are likely cheering on the kids in Red Dawn.
Then war it is even if it is asymmetric. Just wait, one day an Arab state will go nuclear and then all this will end just as prophecized. Isn't that really what this is about for American Christians? These are the same Christians who not long ago thought jews were the scum of the earth. Now they just drool over themselves waiting for Tim Lehaye's books to come true.
why is giving the Jews a tiny slice of the Middle East, such a crime? after WW2, millions of people were displaced and sent to other countries. Polish, Ukrainians, Germans, Hungarians, Romanians. But not a peep from you. Pakistan and India exchanged millions of people. From you...no peep. The Jews fight for and win 1% of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East, and you have a tantrum.
There is no evidence to support your hypothesis. However, the evidence that Israel targets civilians is overwhelming. "It was there that the second [Israeli] shell hit the beach, those firing apparently adjusting their fire to target the fleeing survivors. As it exploded, journalists standing by the terrace wall shouted: 'They are only children.'" http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/16/witness-gaza-shelling-first-hand-account UN high commissioner for human rights Navi Pillay: "A number of incidents, along with the high number of civilian deaths, belies the [Israeli] claim that all necessary precautions are being taken to protect civilian lives." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2702485/Israel-investigated-war-crimes-Gaza-UN-says.html United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, 2009: "The tactics used by the Israeli armed forces in the Gaza offensive are consistent with previous practices, most recently during the Lebanon war in 2006. A concept known as the Dahiya doctrine emerged then, involving the application of disproportionate force and the causing of great damage and destruction to civilian property and infrastructure, and suffering to civilian populations. The Mission concludes from a review of the facts on the ground that it.. appears to have been precisely what was put into practice." http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrcouncil/docs/12session/A-HRC-12-48.pdf
