Margot, where have you been the last week or so ? It is true you still have some humanity left in you, you could not prase the Palestinians for trying to kill Israeli civilians ?
One thing's for sure, we need to send more money and equipment to Israel to make that Iron Dome more efficient in stopping those Hamas terrorist rockets.
Oh I haven't "praised them".. That's your false construct.. and a tired excuse. I find it tragic and wasteful that after 6 decades Israel is still killing them, stealing land and water.. What's the point?
Civilian deaths The UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs (OCHR) has updated figures on civilian deaths in Gaza, the BBC reports. It puts the civilian death toll at 103 including at least 30 children, 12 of whom were under 10, and 13 women. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/middle-east-live/2012/nov/22/gaza-ceasefire-holds-live So the supposedly moral IDF managed to murder 30 children and 13 women, in there are a few babies as well. Disgraceful
Soldiers spell out critique of Netanyahu as a ‘loser’ for not using ground forces in Gaza The IDF Spokesman’s Office said Thursday it was looking into a photograph circulating widely on Facebook in which 16 IDF soldiers arranged their uniformed bodies on the sand, to spell out the Hebrew words “Bibi loser” — in a deft physical critique of Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu’s failure to send ground troops into Gaza during the just-ended Operation Pillar of Defense. http://www.timesofisrael.com/soldie...-a-loser-for-not-using-ground-forces-in-gaza/ Picture in link.
So Bibi appears to be a liberal and a moderate (as does his government) and far from the psychotic right winger he is portraited to be by anti-semites on the forum. Thanks for that Dawgie! Interesting news.
The land belonged - to the indigenous inhabitants (irrespective of religion) - no one else had the right to give any of it to "Jews" quasi/psuedo-Jews - which Europe wanted to be rid off. Transplanting Europe's Jewish problem in the Middle East , where Sehardim/Mizrahim(Arab- Jews liveed peacefully alongside Muslim + Christian Arabs for many centuries before an Austrian Atheist psuedo Jew wrote "Der Judenstaat "which was the founding of ZIONISM. According to learned Rabbis (True Torah Jews) Zionism is not Judaism and godless entity called "Israel" have no right to exist. Go check with Neturei Karta /JewsForJustice and some others like JewNotZionist - Use your search engine and learn the facts - you'll be surprise to discover many facts you're unaware of - with a click of a mouse . tata. .. ....
Right, and the Israelis are the indigenous inhabitants. All the pseudo Palestininas who are really Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, Lebanese and so on, have no claim for the land. BTW, Gazan can stay in Gaza their indigenous place.
European jews immigrated to the land legally, according to the law of the land at the time, established and enforced by Britain of all countries. And Arabs were migrating to the area as well, often illegally, looking for employment and opportunities, provided by these european jews.
The last time there was a ground offensive in Gaza the IDF shot up a couple of buildings they shouldn't have, and Hamas took an Israeli soldier hostage and held him for two years before the Israeli government could come to an agreement with his hostage takers. Maybe Bibi just felt ground forces weren't worth the potential headaches.
It's true. Israel is full of American and European Jews. They are called Zionists. They got a small bit of land that they've expanded by kicking the butts and taking the land of Arabs that attack them. It's how most countries are formed. If this were in the US, the Palestinians would be called Indians and Gaza would be a Reservation, Chief. I live where I do because the Kaskaskia and Shawnee Indians went to war with each other and nearly wiped each other our in a running battle over hundreds of miles. We came here and kicked the survivors into reservations where they died out.
