So essentially your argument is that the Palestinians are the wronged party because they broke the cease fire, their technology was inferior, and were related by a better armed foe. By your logic a man with a knife attacking bruce lee, shouldn't be held accountable for his actions. If Hamas had effective weapons technology they use it. And they'd be happy iif an they could launch a barrage of rockets and kill thousands of people. If israeli decided that Hamas' rocket attacks were a big jape, and ignored them A) Israeli Citizens would deal with random rocket attacks, which are so much fun. Hamas would get the range of Israeli houses. C) Hamas would improve rocket design. Now I'm not saying I agree with Israeli policy, but if you really thing people should endure sustained rocket attacks for days, and then get told "hey could be worse you could get killed by a folding couch" is just absurd. Suggesting that Hamas has not place in the blame of this. Oh and MC suggesting that the situation needs to be simplified, is just ignorant. Your, well documented racism is on display again.

Let us also be clear on this, there was provovation from the Israeli side.
Also, I am well aware of how evil hamas ideology and actions are, I make no excuses. But I challenge everyone out there who considers themselves unbiased,
and on the side of rational and justice in a single, simple post if they truly consider that there is equal wrong on both sides. To briefly mention what the Israeli's are doing wrong and however partially it is that the Palestinian's are justified in their actions.

also just because you dont understand 'free energy' we're supposed to dismiss the entire concept.

Diogenes wrote: » Yeah because that works. Look not being funny here, but the only way we came close to sorting out this mess of an Island and our own conflict, is by unilaterally saying neither side had a greater right to commit terrorism, and both sides had to accept that some form of compromise, which would include, for example, accepting that murdering terrorists on both sides would be released. We stood up and took it, everyone did. How you can claim that an organisation with lauds and rewards the families of suicide bombers who kill dozens of innocent people on bus is on the side of rationality and justice?

It was to demonstrate the dispraportionate response.
I didn't. I claimed the like of yourself and King Mob who claim impartiality, objectivity and common sense tend not to practice what you preach, meaning if there came about an anti_Palestinian post I cannot imagine you defend the Palestinian position or people.

A very dear friend of mine worked as human shield during the olive picking. During the start of the 2nd infadia, I spent extensive time at the sit in at the Israeli embassy in Dublin. In short, I doubt theres any one else on this forum who can say they've gotten homemade baklava outside the Israeli embassy in ballsbridge on a cold march night in 2002 from Palestinian immigrants, aside from me. The OP is clearly following his own religious agenda, and one of our mods isn't so much a friend of the Palestinian cause so much as he is horrendously anti semitic, so I am playing devils advocate, because it's important, indeed, vital, for both sides to see the others position otherwise, there will be no progress.

If it's like "all Palestinians are terrorists" or some ridiculous conspiracy theory the yes I would defend them.
