    That is the new phrase used by Netanyahu, have to agree with him.

    He goes onto explain how Hamas has been using the concrete they have allowed into Gaza, not for schools and hospitals but for tunnels;

    One interesting proposal was the call for the 'International Community' to put their money where their mouth is and help;

    Yes. They place all of their attractive children at the ready to be killed. Of course. That way the gullible Westerners can better empathise with their plight.

    So the sociopaths and psychopaths would have us believe.

    Which variety are you, oh ineffective, cheap apologist for the odious, racist, apartheid state of Israel?

    "Hide the ugly babies the cameras are on"...there is nothing attractive of a child in a war zone.

    And the propagandist for the genocidal state chimes in.

    There is only one state involved in this conflict, Israel, so your understanding that it's genocidal is noted and agreed with although I carry no water for it so you're mistaken about that.

    I disagree. Two states are involved: Israel and USA. Without mighty support from USA, Israel would never afford these "exploits".

    I disagree! They're so joined-at-the-hip they effectively comprise a single state!

    :D

    Netanyahu should talk about the SS Patria being bombed in Haifa Harbor by the Hagannah.

    Work with you it seems as you only seem to see good looking children.

    I'm the sort that uses fact rather than the Jihadist slogans as I note you have yet to respond to one iota of the OP instead preferring to oogle children and rant about non factual hyperbole.

    - - - Updated - - -

    No wonder you don't respond to facts as you have no clue as to what one is. Your Jihadi pals were so so proud of Palestine when it became a state at the UN and here you didn't have a shmick. :roflol:

    Not a rant but two facts, you have yet to respond to the OP and, were not aware of the fact that Palestine is a state.

    The Telegenic Dead


    The leg is in the street.

    Roughly attached & delicately

    Arranged, (though

    Shredded in between)

    The torso lies quietly on the sidewalk

    In front of the café.

    The gray face & glass-like eyes

    Looking “just so” at Heaven.

    Nearby, her son, probably 4

    (Or at least he was 4) has

    Only one sandal on & the

    Dirt covers his body in a delicate

    Wave of sandy colored dustings

    Distributed properly.

    (Thankfully,) his face is buried beneath

    The impeccably coiffed black-red mass

    That once was his head.

    Across the street lie more,

    Posed just right to earn one´s immediate attention.

    They work so hard it seems,

    To get each pose, each positioned limb

    “Just right” for the photogs and reporters.

    Apparently, one can’t let up for a moment

    Or they may appear

    Simply dead.

    Gaza works so hard these days

    To get those images right.

    José M. Tirado

    So Netanyahu believes that the Palestinians are what, choosing who dies on how they look on a TV screen?
    Does he think a mother brings a child into the world, loves it, cares for it, then sends it towards a tank to die?
    "put little Abdul in the firing line he will look best with his legs blown off!"

    Well this is true, it's a propaganda war what does Benji expect?

    Hamas knows they have no chance at an actual war so they correctly use whatever "weapons" the can.

    Unfortunately for them this last action has made them lose a lot of followers world wide.

    Personally I think it's equally both their faults

    By carrying out terrorism from the homes of their people and using them as human shields they don't need to put a child n the way of a tank as the danger is surety while they conduct their war crimes of terrorism and deliberately endangering their own people.

    He knows this all and tells us that this is what Hamas wants. If they didn't want this they wouldn't send rockets which guarantee a destructive response. After all, he nailed it on the head when he said;

    “They use telegenically dead Palestinians for their cause. They want the more dead, the better.”

    So he knows all this and would expect, like any other sane human that Hamas would stop this policy of sacrificing their own people for propagation of hatred.

    "Correctly use" if their intent is to do one thing - ensure they continue to live in misery and kill their own people.


    And rightfully so.


    I disagree. This latest round of dead civilians is all Hamas's doing. Israel, no matter what sins they ever committed never had any inkling of going into Gaza to take out schools and hospitals or people until Hamas began hiding their weapons amongst them, firing from those locations or nearby, telling their own people to ignore IDF warnings to vacate a target in fact, if I'm not wrong Israel only goes into Gaza when the rockets targeting their civilians begin flying. Myself, if I were a person concerned about my people I would certainly not be intent on turning my nation into rubble rather than drop the destruction of my neighbor from my charter and policy but then again, I'm somewhat sane and view human rights as a right, not a tool for my organization to further our hatred.

    Yeah, years and years of Hamas shooting rockets and when Israel responds then you come out of your hole with your hate.

    Hamas is not stupid, they know what they are doing and how the world will react. Their goal is destruction of Israel and the more people they can get to side against Israel, the better. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood who got their start with Nazi funding.

    So random question. If Israel really wants to minimalize civilian targets, is it smart to keep bombing, keep the "security for peace" policy that really hasn't been working, or just keep thinking that people don't want to defend their homes?

    If Hamas stopped shooting rockets and building tunnels into Israel then the hostilities would cease and the blockade would be lifted but Hamas has only one goal, to destroy Israel.

    Even if Palestine or Hamas is destroyed as long as Israel is as well then mission accomplished. This is the goal and it's priceless to Hamas.

    Hamas does not care about the Palestinians. They are just a pawn to be used for their final solution.

    Sure, but Hamas wouldn't have been in power if it wasn't for the left center parties in Israel being replaced by the right. And that wouldn't have happened if the Israeli PM wasn't killed. That wouldn't have happened if the PLO didn't exist. That wouldn't have happened if the 1967 war didn't happen. And that wouldn't have happened if Arab countries recongized the right of Israel to exist. And that wouldn't have happened etc etc etc. This isn't a "one person stops and everyone stops" solution. This isn't going to end until both sides can agree to stop, and acknowledge the right of the other to exist.
