The 20% of non-Jewish Israeli "citizens" do indeed have some, not all, but some of the rights afforded to Jewish citizens. Why doesn't Israel offer those same rights the existing non Jewish Israeli's have to the Palestinians of Gaza and the West Bank creating a Greater Israel incorporating all the people's of the area? Surely, the 20% are not just a token minority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely an exception that proves the rule. Every interview I have seen of somebody representing the Palestinian side the very first question is always - do you condemn Hamas's attack. The same is never asked of the Israeli proponents - do you condemn Israel's wholesale slaughter of civilians. Very, very few decline the opportunity to condemn Hamas. On occasion there is one or two. It is dishonest to represent outliers as the norm - but I guess what choice have you when the truth is at odds with your opinions. Which posters here are "hanging on their every word?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that is because Israel is not slaughtering civilians wholesale. Even using Hamas' inflated figures, about 8,000 Gazans have been killed in 3 weeks of bombing. "Wholesale slaughter" in a crowded urban area, should Israel choose to do so, would result in 8,000 deaths in an hour. It is actually a remarkably low number, considering the difficult conditions the IAF has to work with, and a testament to their professionalism and restraint. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You again do not attribute the necessary actions of the Israelis that caused by the terrorist butchery on the 7th, are you purposely ignoring the catalyst murderous actions of the Palestinian incursions, are you being purposely obtuse by ignoring the very people that started this war. Do you not agree that Israel has every right to defend its country and its citizens and why never any condemnation of the terrorists that created this war.

We are all heroes in our own heads. Reality, however, tends to expose people for what they are. You have no idea what you would do and how you would feel had you been born and raised in Gaza.

Israel carries on as if they are being singled out when all that is being requested is for them to meet the minimum standards that the rest of the developed world adheres to. Stop the war crimes and apartheid and people will stop demanding that they act civilised. You're welcome to explain, in detail, how other nations comply with such laws on other conflicts.

Israel was established in 1948, in the preceding 2,000 years there was no Jewish state, anywhere? If I leave my luggage at the airport, after 90 days without pick up - it's gone. Israel has zero claim to any land in the Middle East. That's your opinion. The UN felt differently. Most countries in the world have no issues with Israel's existence or claim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if the bombing campaign is not the path to victory for Israel, what is YOUR winning strategy for eliminating Hamas? It is easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize, but time to get in the game with your path to victory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel is a democracy, the only democracy in the Middle East ranked 29th worldwide. See Democracy Index WIKI. This does not include Gaza, which is a terrorist state run by Hamas. Good time to ask oneself how much else am I unaware of. Probably most of us. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would walk out too if stuff is said that is possibly not true but said over and over again to make it true. I'm sure terrible shocking things take place on both sides of the fence. I know that because we are dealing with humans on both sides. My review of the human species is 1 out of 5 stars across the board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
