since you're ignorant of your history- George VI, as figure head of the UK, was the sovereign of the area in question from the end of WWI until the formation of the State of Israel.
All very nice that you got the word Israel in your post twice and forgot to mention what this thread is actually about and that is an Israeli bombing raid on Gaza for no good reason. The rocket attacks followed that attack. The problem for Israel is their government do not want peace. they want to continue to steal Palestinian land. You cannot have any peace in that area until the Israeli government stop stealing Palestinian land and feck off back home to Israel.
Likud, the dominant political party in the Knesset, is unashamedly Zionist. Its intent is to colonise all the land currently in Palestinian hands, and to create Eretz Israel-a country free of Muslims. When Israel stops stealing land and the Zionist squatters go back to where they belong-off of Palestinian land, then we can discuss a practical solution. But while the Likudniks remain in power there is no room for rational or moderate discussion.
The Nazis had the upper hand.. They had the forces and the weapons to do as they pleased. They demonized the Jews.. took their jobs, businesses and property, incarcerated them, worked them like slaves and practiced massive collective punishment against any sort of resistance. They starved them and denied them clean water.. and killed them quite deliberately.. Germany for Germans only.. As a people who have suffered cruelty and horrible persecution for thousands of years, why would you be insensitive to abject cruelty and injustice towards others?
This post of yours is a perfect indicator of lack of knowledge, ability to discern and interest in truth. The Israeli press is in no doubt about ' who started it ' and why. I'll lay it out for you below but you'll still be chronically misinformed because misinformation is your forte. Nevertheless;
Why does the international community take pity on gaza while israel suffers a long term missles attack from gaza ? Israel concentrates its efforts to destroy terrorism activity in contrast to hamas that aims to strike at civilian population in israel ! Do you think it's legitimate that the palestinians attain the worldwide voice as a terror organization is on the grip of this place. Doesn't it deserve a condemnation - The fact that hamas is not excluding rockets launchers from the dunes and i have to clarifyall the occurrences across gaza strip is at hamas's responsibility. million israelis are today under attack and actually our life routine depends on the resistance's mood.Israel,as an independent country,would not allow such a terrible paralysis to occur every month. In addition to all I've said,I suppose it's ridiculous that an international condemnation of israel has already come out while assad incessantly continues murdering innocents in the eyes of the entire world-apart from some concerns emphasisis nobody has acted for the safety of the tortured citizens in syria-Don't you think it is much easier to blame israel for anything and spotlight israel ? What happens in syria is clearly worse than the whole escalation cycle at gaza-israel border,so why does the world avoid acting ? Where is the justice ? Racism against jews is clear but we jews think how to keep it lower. I understand pro-palestinians and feel belong to their feelings for fellows in gaza ! Don't think we enjoy occupying you,no,we don't.Israel was established in 1948 after an request for a jewish state had been confirmed by most of the countries,however,there was no intention to entirely take lands away from the palestinians,therefore,There was division plan on purpose of spliting the whole land to two separate countries,the israeli officials directly agreed to the proposal and the palestinian leadership totally rejected the bid,when israel was officially announced to be a country,the palestinians came up with tough resistance expressed through shootings,demonstrations,terror attacks and much more stuff.Israel,in response to these abrupt assaults by arabs had to fight back by sending the tiny israeli forces,this had become a large combat in which israel came out very much on top,in conclusion the sorrowful implication (for the palestinians) that resulted from those violents battles is the grab of land by the israeli forces-but it's certainly not our fault that the arabs demonstrated against us as a fair offer for both sides had been sent.
Hogwash ! Don't think that this is the first attempt by the neoZionist camp to rewrite history in order to justify invasion, land theft, ethnic cleansing and mass murder. It happens here frequently. This hogwash has been dispelled on numerous occasions too. Read my post, above. The Israeli press acknowledge that the current slaughter was initiated by the stinking IOF and intimates that it is part of the stinking IOF agenda. Wriggle on that.
I think you got your facts backwards. The Palestinians have been bombing Israel for the last month, Israel tried to stop it diplomaticly. Unfortunatly this did not happen and Israel killed the man leading the attack. Now the Gazan respond with more missiles on civilians and they will suffer the consequences. Just a week ago I warned that for 10 days Gaza had been firing missiles on Israel cities and unless they stop, Israel will respond.
Cut this BS, go tell this to the Syrians, Iraqi, Turks, Saudis, in fact every country around Israel who is practicing this right now.
More hogwash ! Here's what's been happening for the past month- like every month; http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/146463-weeks-israeli-terrorism-18.html
Margot, these rockets are fired after after al-Qaisi and al-Hanani were murdered by the IAF. Hamas hasn't fired any rockets, they are in Egypt right now, who is trying to end the violence. This is "Israel" testing Iron Dome, for a war with Iran, at the Palestinians expense. They instigated this latest violence by executing those two men.
Dead people cannot prove their innocence. By the way, "Israel" didn't do anything diplomatically, they used airstrikes. Always airstrikes.
I'm not a jew. I am not insensitive to abject cruelty and injustice as I have repeatedly stated my opinion of the occupation. to compare the palestinians plight to that of european jews under the nazi regime is dispicable. Is it ironic and horrific that any number of "ultra zionists" advocate transfer? Advocate annexation? You betcha. Is it similar to the intent and actions of the nazis against the jews, not even remotely close. Like I said, show us the slave labor, the sonderkommando killing squads, the crematoria, the gas chambers, the yellow stars, the deliberate starvation and disease. That is what a basis of comparison is about, and anything less is intellectually dishonest and slimy.
In 2010 Israel was forced to reveal what Palestinians and other observers on the ground have known for a long time: that the blockade of Gaza is state policy intended to inflict collective punishment, not to bolster Israeli “security”. Collective punishment has over the years manifested in many ways that involve a policy of ethnic cleansing that even includes a deliberate policy of near starvation of Gazan's: http://www.imemc.org/article/59843 It's a given that the events leading up to the Holocaust and its aftermath cannot be compared to the situation in Palestine - nothing in human history can. Nevertheless the IDEOLOGY underpinning the actions of the Israeli Zionist fascists - if not the scale or nature of the atrocities - IS comparable.
I wasn't explicit, no, but I addressed what is happening: terrorism and counterterrorism. And if that is truly the problem, that the government of Israel does not want peace (which seems redundant) - then what are the solutions to the problems? That was the point of my post all along. We're so quick to point out every single flaw of every single policy or whatever that comes down the pike, but how often is it that we are the ones developing solutions to the very problems that we so passionately argue over? What is the solution to this problem? And, how can it be achieved?
Absolute rubbish and even the Israelis do not agree with your fantasy. The Israelis stated that the guy they killed was planning another attack like when they snatched Gilad and that is why they kill him,of course we only have the Israeli word for that and going on their history of lying no one believes a word they say. Get your facts right.
You give yourself away with your terrorism and counter terrorism line. I will tell you the solution to the problem. The Israelis to pack their bags and (*)(*)(*)(*) off out of the west bank and leave the Gaza strip alone as well,stop stealing Palestinian land. There you go,easy.
The intent is the same even if it is couched in their religious entitlement and memories of the holocaust. Their actions in pushing the Arabs off the land have been consistent and deliberate. Destroying 10s of thousands of ancient olive trees and denying the population water is another version of killing all the Plains Bison.
Israel has always had a policy of collective punishment. I believe that policy has been around since day one, as has disproportionate response. The blockade of Gaza was a REACTION to Hamas' election. Of course the palestinians had been forewarned about the consequences of electing Hamas, but they collectively decided to ignore the warnings as was their right. They certainly can't claim to be surprised by what transpired after the election. There has NEVER been starvation in Gaza. There isn't any comparable ideology that I am aware of, however, I am willing to be educated. so oh wise one, what ideological similarities are there between Nazi Germany and Israel.
