Israel-Gaza conflict: What has Israel achieved in 26 bloody days?

[Hei Guizi 21]

Cute eh? Whatever.

I am only interested in the humanitarian angle, the deaths of civilians and the wholesale destruction of civilian infrastructure. By taking a side you are simply politicising the narrative and you are no more informed on what is going on than anyone else.

You seem to think it appropriate to allow extremists to dictate the debate. And you don't even live in Israel.

The only solution to this is to get people around the negotiating table to try to find a permanent solution.

I think you need to get over yourself and stop trying to find justifications for unjustifiable things.

This short youtube should explain it to you in simple terms.

If there's anything that isn't needed, it's more youtube videos.

Teaching by youtube eh? Excellent.

I would never justify launching rocket after rocket from civilian locations which would force retaliation for any country on earth.. That would make me evil.. I also would not condemn the side for retaliation as it would encourage more rockets and the violence to continue.. That would make me evil and stupid... Sadly there are those that fall for that idiocy and so we see more of this nonsense.

Please don't try to claim the high moral ground here.. You are nowhere near it.

Now everybody group hug!

You certainly are justifying the massive civilian loss of life and destruction of civilian infrastructure. I don't know about evil but it certainly makes you a bit immoral.

One set of bombs that causes minimal destruction and loss of life is evil, another set of bombs that causes much more death and destruction is apparently fine.

I think you need to look up morality in the dictionary.

We are not going to agree on this.. You think I don't care about Palestinians an am immoral and I think people like you make the situation worse by giving reasonable spin to those who put civilians in harms way.. Lets move along.

I think Israel needs to accept it's complicity in the deaths of civilians. They won't of course, because they want people to hear less about the numbers of Palestinians killed than the number of rockets fired. It's propaganda and people shouldn't support it.

Just my guess. If the rocket count was less, the Pal death count would be less.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Brilliant.

Never going to happen. Palestinians made the mistake of being born on Jewish only land and Israel has apparently every right to punish them.

If you want to get into the conflict with just cold math, Israel would be best off just ignoring the rockets all together. They kill more palestinians than Israelis. Israeli death toll didn't climb much until the invasion.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

If, in some strange parallel universe both sides were to get around the negotiating table is there any chance that Israel will concede territory and agree to the creation of a viable Palestinian state?

I'm not convinced.

No sense in arguing with a fanatic.

No sense in arguing with a fanatic.

If by that you mean that you're arguing with yourself - the solution there is to see a psychiatrist.
