    only hamas? israel always tell the truth?

    Did anyone say that? The poster implied that Israelies lie, without mentioning the possibility that Hamas and Palestinians may also lie. Just adding a bit of balance.

    yes, they love to trot out that excuse, of course the amount of weaponry and size of military, and enough people to take up the fight isn't enough, but a bit of land belonging to another country is going to stop the destruction of israel, i don't know whether thats laughable, ridiculous, or just pathetic, i pick laughable

    Could you read some military history before you make comments about military matters please?
    The West bank prevents Israel from being cut in two by a quick military thrust and also provides a natural defensive line along the Jordan. As long as Israel feel threatened, and launching rockets at them is not likely to ease their fears, they will continue to occupy the West Bank and the longer they are there the less likely they are to ever leave.
    This is what we know as 'reality'.

    Had Hamas not constantly needled and provoked Israel with their rocket attacks, this would not started.

    if israel didn't steal these peoples homes and land, and treated them like human beings from the start, the situation where rocket fire would have came to be, may not have existed.
    The blood is squarely on the hands of Hamas and those that elect and support Hamas.

    no, the blood is squarely on both sides, not those who elect anyone

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Yeah, awful. Shelling a beach with military ordnance is much better than making a comment on a discussion forum. You appear to be vehemently pro-Israel, regardless of what is occurring. Why is that?

    I don't know, perhaps because I believe they are right in this situation.

    The can't let Hamas continue to constantly send rockets into Israel. Israel don't want this, Hamas have brought it on themselves and their people by their actions.

    Do you consider the death of the innocent Israeli civilian to have been murder?

    the killing of civilians on both sides is murder

    The aim of all Islamic terrorists is to wipe Israel of the face of the Earth. If that happens & the Isis, boka Haram, Al Queda etc take over..what then? World domination, Sharia law. Anyone for a beheading today?& a good kicking for them annoying women

    They are where they are. The current situation is directly attributable to the actions of Hamas.

    No rockets no retaliation. Simples.

    Glad to see you post that. And what about either side sending guided or unguided rockets across the border?

    Nope, couldn't be bothered when google is but a click away.

    The problem with these discussions (or one of the problems) is that people (like you) tend to rush in with ill researched knee jerk reactions and post up silliness which does neither side justice.

    Google and a little time are your friends.

    no, your not, your just excusing israels actions no matter what, and you more or less have said israel doesn't lie, all to fit your agenda

    That's a very sick view to hold. "He made me do it". " If she didn't dress like that she wouldn't have been raped".

    Jesus, you really are stretching credibility there.

    Not even sure where to start with that one, but I suggest you seek professional help to work through your attitudes to women. For your sake, please do, this is not healthy for you.

    All of this is rubbish. Not a word of truth, which in a way is admirable, that you could get it so wrong. You couldn't have done worse had you been trying. Quite an achievement. Kudos. :)

    yes, more territory for the state, that is all.

    they don't feel threatened, its all an excuse for their war machine, and to get more territory, just like 1967, you are definitely right when you say the longer they are there the less likely they are to ever leave, thats the whole point, they want that territory, and they will do whatever to get it. mind you, if they get on the wrong side of the wrong country they will be finished, america isn't always going to save them, americas patients will run out eventually.

    Here's my problem with the pro Israeli side. They talk about dead children with as much compassion as someone would talk about a dead rat. They have a sick attitude that says "oh well that wouldn't have happened if someone else had voted for someone different". Bearing in mind that the children who died had no idea of the current conflict and were certainly too young to vote.

    I disagree with Israel but when young Israeli children die I would certainly be more human than to say "Ah well if the Israelis didn't do X, Y and Z those children would be alive. That's why I have a problem with some posters. It's not their support of Israel it's their complete empathic and pathological view of the casualties. Most people on this thread just want peace and would love for both peoples to live together but some (those with "ah well dead kids approach" don't care about peace. They just seem to want punishment.

    No, it's more like 'if she hadn't kept throwing bricks at me I wouldn't have had to restrain her".

    I know the history of the area well enough thanks. I was just calling your bluff on it and was proved right.

    and no better way to do that then murdering children, shur they deserve it, they brought it on themselves, discusting

    Why can't we all just get along?

    "PIRA launch sustained bombing campaign in Mainland Britain, British retaliate by shelling Killiney beach and launching a ground offensive using tanks, bulldozers and armoured personnell carriers. Dozens of civilian casualties amongst the Irish population".


    Sounds mad, doesn't it? yeah, pretty much..

    So are 'PIRA' in power in Ireland in this scenario? Is it a 'state sanctioned' bombing campaign?

    They are where they are. The current situation is directly attributable to the actions of Hamas.

    wrong again, hamas came into being via the miss treatment of the palestinian people and the apartite system in which they live.
    No rockets no retaliation. Simples.

    not simples at all, stop excusing the murder of women and children

    Dunno, depends how you view Haugheys role in the arms smuggling tbh..

    As I said, unfortunate collateral damage. I'm happy to agree that both sides to the conflict are equally responsible for all of the deaths that have occurred.

    You're bluffing on this. You haven't a clue outside of the last two decades. If you had you would know that HAMAS was encouraged by the Israeli state at the expense of more moderate groups.

    Guys apparently we are all ill researched. I actually know the history quite well and if you don't I suggest you read up on it. You won't find anything to counter the view that the Israeli state fuelled HAMAS contrary to keyboard warriors's views. I support a Israeli state but not how they're going about it now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,537 ✭✭✭Arthur Beesley

    None that I'm aware of. :)

    lets see, rockets that have little to no effect sadly kill one person, jets and shells that have killed a couple of hundred, which one has the most blood on their hands? who has killed the most people? yes, you guessed it, the people with the jets and shells, but of course they have made no effort to avoid civilian deaths, because they know the people they are shelling and bombing can't go anywhere to escape
