Israel said never again will we be victims from now on we will use all our might to defend ourselves. No matter the consequences. After years of suicide bombers, rocket attacks, threats of complete and total annihilation. This is the result. Loads of innocent men, women and children dead, wounded, uprooted and with no kind of future. Whilst I think that there are those in Israel that are happy to see this suffering. Many more would rather this never happened. Ultimately. I lay the blame for this bloodshed on Hamas's head. The blood,of the innocent are on Hamas's hands. They are the ones that would not let civilians leave, they are the ones who attacked Israel, attacked the innocent civilian population of Israel, and they are the ones stockpiling their ammunitions and weapons amongst the Palestinian population. This was Hamas's end game. They could not ever hope to wage war on Israel in a conventional manner. All they could do is wage war in the arena of public opinion. Ultimately no one wins but Hamas.

Tail Docker wrote: » See, here's a popular misconception. Israel isn't really a Jewish state. My old lad was Jewish, so to an extent, so am I. It passes maternally, so I'm sort of an outcast, but whatever. Thing is, Israel was founded by the Askenazis, my old lad was the son of a prominent Ashkenazi Jew. My surname is an Ashkenazi surname. There aren't that many of them, it's a small but powerful set. They're a very mercenary lot, the Askenazis, which brings me to my point. Being classed as "Jewish" is a flag of convenience for them. It provides a cover. You cannot criticise Judaism, that's anti-semitic, and that's Bad, so a no-no. Which is great, if you plan on acting the gowl. So, what we have here is an Ashkenazi state, proclaiming its Judaism, and wreaking havoc, but beyond criticism by the International body politic as who else has suffered such persecution down the years as the Jews themselves?. The persecuted cannot be accused of persecution. Thing is, they aren't the persecuted, not really. Which is where the genius lies.

If Hamas had better weapons/Isreal worse defences and were landing rockets on buildings in Isreal (as they are presumably trying to do with their rockets) resulting in 1000 dead on each side, would it still be a case of marching for Gaza , Isreal is evil etc or would it just be a case of it being another war , lets move on with our lives? Lets be honest, theres plenty of war going on , but this one seems to be flavour of the month. Theres conflicts still going on that people were up in arms about before but now this one takes over it seems to be a case of "this cause is better than that cause, lets forget those people" , ie the same attitude people love to get all indignant about the media over.
