    So, just checking I'm up to speed. Hamas were launching rockets from a hospital, Israel gave warnings that it was about to attack said hospital.

    Israel attempted, repeatedly, to get clarification, on whether the hospital was evacuated. This clarification was not forthcoming. Am I rite so far?

    If that was true - how come there are Israelis demonstrating freely to stop the war, to free Gaza, etc? Would extremists allow it?

    The more lies you post, the more ridiculous you make yourself out to be.

    I would be the first to always make the distinction between Hamas and the Palestinians when applicable.

    you wouldn't, you don't, you haven't, you never will.
    my heart goes to the suffering Palestinians - in particular all the innocent children.

    it doesn't, you condone the genocide.
    at the end of the day - the Palestinians made a choice between Hamas and Fatah.
    One was corrupt but headed for peace, and the other was corrupt and promised Jihad.
    The Palestinians democratically (right?) elected Hamas, and they still support it and its Jihadist targets.

    democratically voted yes, means nothing, no excuse for israels actions.
    They are responsible for Hamas as much as Hamas is responsible for them.

    wrong again, if israel didn't start clenzeing the natives the minute the state came into being and still do to this day then hamas wouldn't exist.
    I completely understand that Israel has to defend its own citizens first and only then think about enemy citizens.

    you mean putting their citizens at risk, brilliant strategy
    I see that the Israelis are doing the best they can not to hurt civilians - more than any other army in the world.

    sweet suffering jesus, there is mountains of evidence to prove otherwise.
    I know that war is chaos and I'm amazed at how the Israelis manage to avoid killing so many more civilians given the conditions on the ground.

    you are seriously fcuking delusianel, and brainwashed

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

    Shelling 'kills 15 in Gaza shelter' - BBC News
    At least 15 people have been killed and more than 200 injured when a UN-run school used as a shelter in Gaza was shelled, the Gaza health ministry says.

    There are two possibilities IMO.
    1. The IDF knew they were aiming at a shelter for civilians, in which case, they intentionally murdered civilians.
    2. The IDF didn't know what they were hitting. Therefore, they are negligent and guilty of slaughtering at least 15 people in this case.

    Either option is worthy of scorn IMO.

    Hamas themselves have been known to handle Christians in a "loving" fashion.

    If you are referring to the attacks on Christian churches in the aftermath of Benedict's speech, those were condemned by Hamas but some of those churches are sustaining damage now as are sheltering people

    Not at the expense of its people. The Israelis have shelters and iron dome. The Palestinians have what?
    They have little or nothing... but Israel just keeps taking anyway.
    Instead of using the aid they got to build dozens (if not more) of terror tunnels meant to attack Israeli civilians, they could have used the aid to build bomb shelters for their own people. Didn't build even one did they?
    Well sure they wouldn't need them if they weren't getting bombed!!!!

    Did you actually read those links? One is a denial that Hamas militants have turned up in Syria and the other concerns a statement from the leader of ISIS essentially saying that the time isn't right for all out war on Israel - they're taking a systematic approach to the growth of their caliphate and killing Israeli's today would upset that. They're on the list though. Hilarious.

    Yes I read them and replied to the post saying they were buddies.

    "One is a denial that Hamas militants have turned up in Syria and the other concerns a statement from the leader of ISIS essentially saying that the time isn't right for all out war on Israel"

    Doesn't really sound buddy buddy now does it?

    According to the Israeli Ambassador they can target anywhere they want if there's a suspicion that there's rockets on the premises :confused:

    So basically you are saying that the people in Gaza are getting what they deserve is that it?

    As for doing their best not to hurt civilians, well there is ample evidence every day that this is definitely not the case. So do you put all of the civilian deaths down to pure incompetence on the part of the IDF?

    No, I'm saying that they are getting what they voted for. Big difference.

    As for civilians - I've said it before and I will say it again.
    You need to decide which is it, out of only two possible options:
    Either the Israelis don't care about the civilians or they do care.

    If you agree that they care, then you can accept that mistakes happen in the chaos of war and understand that Israel didn't target civilians on purpose.

    If you don't agree that they care - then answer me this:
    why are they calling Palestinians and warning them to leave before bombing?
    why are they dropping leaflets?
    why are they sometimes cancelling attacks when they see civilians?
    why did they set up a field hospital for wounded Palestinians where Israeli doctors treat the wounded?

    Allow me jump the gun, and guess that your answer will be something along the lines of "They are afraid of the international community and public opinion, and that is why they are doing these things, but they don't really care about the civilians".

    And here lies the flaw in logic that so many here fail to see:
    If the Israelis are soooooo afraid of public opinion and the international community and all that...
    Then why would they bomb a school or a mosque or a hospital...
    Unless it was used for terrorist activities? Where is the gain?

    How long would you estimate it takes to fully evacuate a hospital when all the other hospitals are full, roads have been turned to rubble, ambulances have been destroyed and bombs are raining from the sky? In my opinion probably a few weeks.

    And Im sure they were repeatedly told that there were people in the hospital, but the Israelis were dropping that bomb no matter what.

    entry wounds aren't that spectacular as you may be led to believe by tv and movies.

    The real damage would be on the exit would which would not be visable in the video.

    Idealy you don't even want a bullet to exit the target. As i said earlier you would either want it to sxpand/explode inside the body where the shrapnel will tear everything apart or have the whole bullet tumble through the body ripping and tearing everything.

    I agree wounds vary. In any case - there was other evidence in the analysis to suggest it was fake.

    750 dead, 150(ish) children

    That is 750 dead, but they tell us they care,

    Should we look into it? Nah

    Simple - you don't have to be an extremist to support a ground offensive when you have rockets flying at you.

    I don't think that Israel is scared of public opinion at all. I think they are willing to push the boat out as far as possible before an international response becomes a probability. This is something they definitely don't want. As regards warnings to civilians, this is in itself a means of spreading terror among the civilian population. Anyway, where are they supposed to flee to? to one of the shelters?

    Can I ask a very basic question here... Are you actually in Israel and if so, have you had rockets flying at you?

    What I dont get is with their warning systems how do they hope to get anybody from Hamas,they dont care, they will just move on. The only people they will kill are the people whos homes are about to be destroyed and have nowhere else to go.

    And all rifles are the same and use the same ammo and hit the target in the same way and wounds are the same no matter what distance and drop of the bullet and the position of the target

    The chances of no blood when a man is shot 3 times by a sniper rifle is 0.

    Is this your expert opinion? If so what qualifications do you hold? How many people have you seen that have been shot to base your factual post on this? Please post a link to a "sniper rifle" that the man in question was shot with.

    The activists provided 15 minutes 45 seconds of raw footage to The New York Times for review, and although it bears no apparent signs of manipulation, it also offers no clear evidence of the gunman’s identity.
