Yeah, like Hamas wouldn't be driving all Jews in to the sea, had they the means to do so? Both sides have books and legends that say they have the divine right to that land.

Why do people always point out "Yeah but the other side blah blah" as if that somehow excused certain actions? Just because certain elements of the other side would do the same, given half a chance, doesn't in any way excuse the actions of the Israeli army and administration.

As for this:

Don't fall for the propaganda, there are no "good guys" in charge on either side.

Who's falling for propaganda? Half of us here are just looking at the figures. The 'bad guys' on one side murdered a few people, the 'bad guys' on the other side murdered almost a thousand. And as seems to be the case now, they murdered almost a thousand based on faulty information and then are surprised when their enemy fires back?

Propaganda is what those on the pro-Israeli-offensive side are being blinded by.

And when the Israelis say they had no choice, they're liars. There is a choice not to fire.

Don't fall for the propaganda, there are no "good guys" in charge on either side. I really don't get why people in this country are taking one side. No, that's not a request for someone to dump a mass of text and links here, I've probably read them already.

I haven't fallen for any propaganda, it's just anybody with two functioning eyes can see the atrocities being committed by the Jews.

I would have to say that I can quite often let news like this get in on me - a range of emotions from absolute outrage, to empathy, sadness......but the one thing I am feeling more than most is absolute hoplessness for those poor people who have suffered and continue to suffer so much.

I'm at a loss to explain how a so called modern democracy can inflict so much suffering on a defenceless people but what is worse in this day and age is that the modern world can sit back and allow it to happen.

I hope and pray that justice eventually comes to those who deserve it - both the victims and the perpetrators of this carnage.

Atrocities committed by the government yes, but supported by many a Jew, as seen from the perverse joy they have shown on twitter over the attacks, and also the picture of them 'enjoying' the bombing of Gaza whilst observing from a hillside in Israel. While sitting on deck-chairs. Eating popcorn. Sick, sick people!

Also supported by many Christains and non-religious folk - not exclussive to "The Jews"

I'm the exact same. One thing I've noticed when trying to bring up the topic of Gaza in work or with friends that many people are really absorbed in their own lives and don't give a **** about the situation in Gaza. Sad but true.

I get that and don't get it at the same time. I can sometimes understand how someone never heard about something horrible like the Central African Republic. It's obscure and hugely under reported.

But bombing schools in gaza is all over the news and people still don't give a fcuk.

I'm sure they are supported by others, however, I have never seen a people take such joy in the suffering of others as I have from the Jewish people who pulled up a seat on a hillside to watch other people being killed by missiles. That's just pain wrong to me!

There are people on both sides up north who would take great pleasure in seeing something bad happen to the oppositions neighbourhood.

You don't see pictures on twitter of them pulling up a chair to enjoy the show though?

The Jew. Look at him, that disgusting creature. All twisted and vile, ready to take our children.

The Jew. Murderous land grabber. Hell bent on wiping out the Palestinian people.


This is pretty much what this thread is descending to.

The conflict in a nutshell.



I can't imagine this happening to my home. The guy showed so much restraint in a situation I would have been engulfed in anger. I guess the notion of fighting back and getting bombed as a result is a pretty strong deterrent.



I'm a fan of Norman Finkelstein. There are a ton of his videos on Youtube. Here is a great one.

After your extreme racist outburst earlier, it's surprising that you're still allowed to post in this thread let alone boards.
Why don't you remind us all again what you called all Arab people.

What was said?
