Terrorist-Sympathizers UN Claims No Hamas Fighters in Bombed School:

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Yeah - that sounds like it was worth the lives of 40-odd bystanders.

Probably wasn't, but it's not like it's the first time Hamas ever used a school or a mosque

for cover or vantage point.

Yeah and its not the first time someone's decided to use such a situation to justify an an atrocity.

Atrocity? As Risto pointed out, if Israel wanted to deliberately "target civilians", there would

be no civilians left. The easiest way to target them is to carpet bomb the whole damn area.

The troops saw gunmen shooting at them from the school, so they fired back in response.

Tragic mistake to be sure, but I seriously doubt it was their "plan" to kill 40 children.

It doesn't matter if it was their plan. Best intentions mean very little when you look at the outcome.

The latest round of Hamas rockets killed what... 4 people?

Israeli military action in Gaza has killed 400-500.

Can we even talk about "intention" at this point?

since when has war become an eye for an eye?

[mawilson 2,133]

Israeli military action in Gaza has killed 400-500.

Most of whom are Hamas militants.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Since we started drawing distinctions between what is and is not justifiable in war.

Not losing our perspective and rationality is a good start.

There's no way anyone can justify this $hit. Its obscene.

Allegedly.

Allegedly allegedly.

The IDF doesn't BS. When they accidentally kill civilians, they say "oops our bad, we have killed N civilians".

If they say they have killed N militants, you can be sure it was militants they killed.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

You can never be sure when there are agendas in play. Certainly noy when every mistaken school or apartment building shelling is accompanied by a prepackaged excuse absolving them of responsibility.

What is sad is watching Israel play into Hamas's hands. Have you seen the rockets they are talking about? They are less sophisticated than a bazooka, basically a tube and a rocket.

Let me see....Someone jumps the wall, shoots two rockets and leaves. How many probably innocent people are killed? Jeez Louise Israel--get some perspective on this. Have they not heard of the saying "won the battle lost the war"?

This is the basic premise of modern guerilla warfare--attack and then watch the enemy burn their bridges with the poplulace and their allies.

Anyone familiar with the VC tactics against the french?? Here it is again.

It comes down to this simple fact

One jewish citizen life is worth more than 10 hmm 100, 500, 10,000 Arab citizen life. After all it's called Collateral damage, when the other side does it it's call TERRORIST. According to the Religious right, they are God's chosen people as such they can hide under than mantle and nobody will say anything against any atrocities they commit, if ANYBODY comes closed at many a comment, Watch the full force of the Lobbyist, The controlled media comming at ya and label you ANTI SEMITE.

It is odd that those who are suffering the most, are the ones that are sympathised with the least in our media.

Can we even talk about "intention" at this point?

Hamas would kill every Israli man woman and child if they could. You speak as if it was Hamas's intent to kill only 4 or 5. This begs the question, why would hamas pick a fight with someone with the capability to wipe them out?

Most likely to garner support from symathizers such as yourself and others that hold the same beliefs.

But they can't. So its a moot point.

I don't sympathise with Hamas - lets not start with the slander here.

Quick, who is suffering most?

What is sad is both are suffering.

You will have a hard time convincing me that the Israelis are suffering more though......

That's pretty much what it always comes down to - that and the relativisation that one palestinian life is work X number of Jewish lives.

Its not unreasonable to draw attention to the disproportionate nature of the Israeli response when compared to the scale of the original threat.

Uh...excuse me....and what percentage of palestinians are Hamas?

Have you examined your beliefs lately?

[pedroh 21]

didnt the USA promoted the hamas election as a good thing in the first place? shouldnt Israel be kinda pissed off against USA for this?
