    Of course, because they're all the same. They've no motivation other than religion, and aren't at all pushed about being occupied and colonised for the last few decades.

    Israel has decided it will do the same to the Palestinian people.

    Even the Palestinians that are in Israel are not safe.

    http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/.premium-1.607312
    Two Palestinian youths were reportedly assaulted by a Jewish mob in Jerusalem on Friday evening.

    The two were seriously wounded, and were hospitalized in the Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem in Jerusalem.

    Islam has conquered and killed since it's formation. It will not stop till it's deadly enemy is destroyed

    Wrong as they would have already done it.
    The Arabs hid and fire using their babies as shields for protection.

    The Jews fire to protect their babies.
    You can see the difference?

    The Palestinians have to fire because Israel has them blockaded into a small area. Israel decides if the electricity works, Israel decides if the water runs from the taps, Israel decides if a sick Palestinian child lives or dies for want of hospital treatment. Gaza is the worlds biggest open air prison that Israel bombs with impunity.

    Using 'Arabs' is a hell of a generalisation. I'm sure everyone agrees the (let's call them) 'bad guys' are using civilians as human shields. We all know that. The problem is that people like you, and the other supporters of Israel's actions, seem to think that that justifies the civilian deaths. Israel says they're not aiming at innocent civilians, rather at the terrorists standing behind them. Don't know if you realise this... but if you're aiming a missile at the person standing behind a child, then you're also aiming at the child, the building, and everyone standing near the building. The indisciminate destruction and murder is the problem.

    Another thing, when you and the other supporters of this offensive use the term 'human shields', you're already dehumanising the victims. The 'bad guys' in Palestine do use innocent people in this way, everyone knows that. But the 'bad guys' also know that Israel will not hesitate to kill whatever number of people those 'bad guys' are standing behind, be they man, woman, or child. Israel sees them as shields and thus not human any more. That's a problem. Because with as many bad things as a person could say about the Americans, if they were in Israel's position, I fully believe they would do everything possible to avoid civilian casualties. The Israelis show no such restraint. Never have. Because to them, the innocent civilians in Palestine are no longer human. They're shields. And the Israelis thus see them as superficially regrettable statistics and not people, humans, with families and friends and futures that have been stolen from them.

    You think it's reprehensible to use "babies as shields for protection", you're right, of course you are. But it's also reprehensible to kill them and then pat yourself on the back for holding back so much. And it's reprehensible to claim you had no choice but to bomb a hospital, when you could have used your vaunted technological superiority to take out the 'bad guys' in a way that didn't involve killing almost a thousand people. And it's reprehensible to suggest that murder on one side is disgraceful, but that vastly disproportionate murder on the other side is a perfectly acceptable response.

    But judging by the rest of this thread, we're all wasting our breath.

    I was wondering why RTE was giving such an easy time to all the Israeli propagandists that they interview compared to other "news" stations around the world.

    It looks like they've already taken sides by pushing their own propaganda on behalf of Israel. Fortunately they were called on it this time.
    The material contained pictures of a woman with a lengthy sequence of her shouting in the street. The woman begins by referring to children dying, but she then goes on to say that she is ready to wear an explosive jacket and join the fight.
    The voiceover on the report was not intended to be a direct translation. The reporter was paraphrasing the woman's view.

    Anyone care to explain to me what is going on with Israel and Palestine, I know their bombing eachother but thats about it, but why are they fighting ? Whats it all about ?

    Someone educate me on the whole thing

    Check out the youtube video Occupation101. Best documentary at both cannes and sundance festivals. Walks through the whole thing.

    That is beyond ridiculous. If you want to defend Israel, try saying something intelligent. This kind of nonsense undermines your position entirely.

    Another ridiculous post. RTE are not peddling propaganda on behalf of Israel. They can be very amateur sometimes, but to accuse them of deliberate pro Israeli bias is stupid and childish.
    Our media is generally very liberal and left leaning. Try reading the Opinion pieces in the US press and you will soon realise what proIsraeli bias looks like.

    It's an interesting perspective on what the background is. Just one view, and it's a heavy read, but food for thought.

    I stopped at
    exposing the Jewish tyranny which has enveloped the United States.

    And skimmed the rest. Looks line an article Mel Gibson would be proud of :rolleyes:

    It's an interesting perspective. I'd say you'd have to approach it with an open mind and regard it as one view amongst many en route to forming an opinion. The "open mind" bit might be trickier for some than others. The fact it is from a speech by a Jewish Gentleman makes it a bit awkward going along with your "Mel Gibson" schtick.

    Good one. Waay better than the usual. Sadly, the people discussed in the piece I linked to would not be regarded as Jewish, but fire ahead. I have a wall to be headbutting, that's likely to be more productive.

    I am accusing them of pro-israeli bias and have provided proof. What proof have you got that they're not? or is it just a hunch? Much like the rabid religious fundamentalists in this country claiming RTE are liberal anti-church do-gooders, even though we hear the angelus booming on tv and radio everyday.

    I suppose if you keep repeating the same lie over and over, people start to believe it.

    RTE, during this genocide, has a clear pro-israeli bias. Simply asking the israeli propaganda machine a couple of awkward questions and then backing down is not going far enough for the majority people.

    I haven't seen the interviews you are referring to, but what else can RTE do? Fire some missiles at the interviewee?

    Looks like you're contributing to the Israeli war machine. You must feel disgusted with yourself? Your TV license contributing to pro Israeli propaganda.

    Israel's attack on Gaza is revenge for the Palestinians' refusal to accept occupation

    T he Palestinians are disobedient. They refuse to adapt. This is after we thought it was working for us, with VIP treatment for a few of them and an opportunity for swollen bank accounts for some, and with enormous donations from the United States and Europe that nurture the pockets of imaginary Palestinian rule.
    The armed Hamas operatives who emerged from the tunnel shaft on Kibbutz Nir Am on Monday were dressed as Israeli soldiers. Haaretz’s Amos Harel writes that in the first moments, the field commanders were not sure whether they were soldiers or terrorists. “Finally, thanks to an aerial photograph taken by a drone, they were found to be Hamas operatives,” writes Harel. “They were carrying Kalashnikov rifles, which the Israeli army does not use.”
    But for some reason, the eye of the drone that can tell the difference between various makes of rifles cannot tell that this figure over here is a child, and that is a mother or a grandmother. Instead, all are given a death sentence.

    Do you re-read what you typed just before you post? Seriously, the above undermines any point you might have.

    It shows just how isolated they really are.....
