they should just stand toe to toe against tanks.
Idiot.
They are targeting missile sites that people walk past every day.
they should just stand toe to toe against tanks.
They shouldn't fire 200+ rockets into Israel and expect no response.
Don't get mad because they are killing babies.
Actually, maybe you should get mad.
they shouldn't keep bulldozing homes and lives if they expect it to stop.
You don't get mad when our drones hit babies.
One side INTENTIONALLY fires on civilians.
Israel should have just gotten their ethnic cleansing out of the way early and quickly instead of this slow motion crap they try and fail to run under the radar. Most people don't know or forgot it happened with India/Pakistan.
You and SA210 are on the same page -- I get it.
I don't?
One side intentionally runs bulldozers over civilians. Result is the same tbh.One side INTENTIONALLY fires on civilians.
I just don't automatically bend over for Israel for no good reason like you do.
And I wouldn't say calling for Israel to accelerate its ethnic cleansing program is exactly what SA210 thinks.
I don't see their really wanting anything else, so get on with it -- without billions of dollars of handouts from us.
Man, you must be reading from Nbadan's favorite blogs.
What do you think is Israel's end game given its settlement policies and ghettoization of the West Bank and Gaza?
Explain.
You do realize Israel instigated this latest round of violence, right?
I like cheese.
The only way you can really not be a little horrified at what Israel has done over the last 50 years is to not know about it.
Have you ever looked at what they have been doing in any detail?
Roughly about 500 villages were abandoned in and around 1948.

It is difficult to overestimate the tremendous role this lot of abandoned Arab property has played in the settlement of hundreds of thousands of Jewish immigrants who have reached Israel since the proclamation of the state in May 1948. Forty-seven new rural settlements established on the sites of abandoned Arab villages had by October 1949 already absorbed 25,255 new immigrants. By the spring of 1950 over 1 million dunams had been leased by the custodian to Jewish settlements and individual farmers for the raising of grain crops.
Large tracts of land belonging to Arab absentees have also been leased to Jewish settlers, old and new, for the raising of vegetables. In the south alone, 15,000 dunams of vineyards and fruit trees have been leased to cooperative settlements; a similar area has been rented by the Yemenites Association, the Farmers Association, and the Soldiers Settlement and Rehabilitation Board. This has saved the Jewish Agency and the government millions of dollars. While the average cost of establishing an immigrant family in a new settlement was from $7,500 to $9,000, the cost in abandoned Arab villages did not exceed $1,500 ($750 for building repairs and $750 for livestock and equipment).
Abandoned Arab dwellings in towns have also not remained empty. By the end of July 1948, 170,000 people, notably new immigrants and ex-soldiers, in addition to about 40,000 former tenants, both Jewish and Arab, had been housed in premises under the custodian's control; and 7,000 shops, workshops and stores were sublet to new arrivals. The existence of these Arab houses-vacant and ready for occupation-has, to a large extent, solved the greatest immediate problem which faced the Israeli authorities in the absorption of immigrants. It also considerably relieved the financial burden of absorption.[25]
How much of Israel's territory consists of land confiscated with the Absentee Property Law is uncertain and much disputed. Robert Fisk interviewed the Israeli Custodian of Absentee Property, who estimates this could amount to up to 70% of the territory of Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip:
The Custodian of Absentee Property does not choose to discuss politics. But when asked how much of the land of the state of Israel might potentially have two claimants — an Arab and a Jew holding respectively a British Mandate and an Israeli deed to the same property — Mr. Manor [the Custodian in 1980] believes that 'about 70 percent' might fall into that category (Robert Fisk, 'The Land of Palestine, Part Eight: The Custodian of Absentee Property', The Times, December 24, 1980, quoted in his book Pity the Nation: Lebanon at War).
The Jewish Virtual Library, estimates that Custodial and Absentee land comprises 12% of Israel's total territory.[26]

Lot of people fled the fighting, Israel locked them out and grabbed their land. By the time the refugees tried to return it was a fait accompli.
To be sure a lot of the history is somewhat murky and there is no shortage of conflicting accounts, but you can get a generally good picture of a country that is not quite the choir boy some seem to think it is.
Why do Hamas bother, do they know they have no chance of winning a war against Israel... this will be over very quick
You would think that Hamas would learn, but no. The buy missiles, shoot them off, agree to cease fires again when they run out, and buy more and start over.
I feel for the innocent who get caught up in this, but if you want this to stop, you have to stop the terrorists. Not Israel.
And the caption is a lie. You need to start reading the truth. That may have been a homemade rocket, but they are buying real ones.
Eh, terror bombings helped Israel get a homeland. Whatever.
go ahead. (this should be good) enlighten us.
