Replace Hamas with British Empire and Islamist with Christian and caliphate with empire. We humans are all the same. Mine mine mine want want want. There are more examples but just to be clear, I'm against humanity as a whole. Not on any one side.

Reread the post.

You'll note that I am critical of BOTH Hamas and Israel.

I apologise for neither side.

Unlike you, who misguidedly believe that there is a good side in this conflict.

BOTH sides are committing inhumane acts of barbarity day after day, year after year.

 

An Israeli life is worth no more or no less than a Palestinian life, don't you agree?

I think the moderators should certainly be answering you.

Post after post whingeing about others.

You are not the arbiter of anything on this forum so stop wasting your and other peoples time with your off topic nonsense.

 

Anyway, I thought you were quitting this thread.

What happened?

Repeating inaccuracies only serves to highlight the weakness of your argument.

 

Both Israel and Hamas are committing criminal acts against each other and against their own people without remorse - wouldn't you agree, or do you wish to apologise for one of these sides?

Israel is a democracy of the one nation state in the world with a majority of Jewish people. It is not a theocracy.

 

Not equivalents.

 

Not a theocracy....?

Not yet, however, give it a little more time and we'll see.

It is certainly steaming ahead in that direction

 

From the Jerusalem Post

 

Lao Tzu once said, “If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.” Lately, it seems like Israel is heading in the direction of theocracy.

Incorrect.

 

Hamas intentionally murders civilians in the most barbaric ways possible. 

 

Israel targets terrorist targets thar have human shields at them. The targets are not the civilians. 

 

IMHO - Hamas almost exclusively targets civilians, so no argument there.

 

Israel certainly targets civilians - this much is obvious to anyone glancing at the Palestinian death toll.

 

If Israel valued Palestinian civilian life they would have sent in Special Forces to root out Hamas and not (carpet) bombed Gaza from 10,000 feet.

 

The Israeli's have clearly made the calculation that in order to minimise the number of IDF casualties they accept a high Palestinian civilian death toll.

 

Whatever the actual numbers are (e.g. every 1000 Palestinian deaths reduces the IDF casualty rate by 1) - Israel have knowingly chosen that path.

 

They have the right to operate in this fashion, but in choosing to do so, have zero claim to the moral high ground or elevated levels of civilisation.

 

They are in the gutter with Hamas.

 

BTW - "Precision bombing" is the mother of all oxymorons.

Agreed.

 

It seems we are in sync that both the Hamas and the IDF terrorists should be eliminated.

 

Glad to see you finally reject the dark side.

I don't know if Hamas (or Israel) will agree, but reports of 'deal' mediated by Qatar are along such lines: ceasefire, release of hostages for something (guess release of Hamas prisoners held by Israel). Some reports say it's in pretty advanced stages, but who knows? Previous negotiations on such matters took way longer.

At any cost?

How many dead civilians is acceptable to achieve the stated goal?

Is the stated goal even achievable?

If not, then isn't the murder of so many civilians pure evil?

 

Senseless and indiscriminate murder.

Anyone with an ounce of humanity disapproves of the slaughter of women and children.

 

Direct your questions at the Palestinian leadership.

They started this war.

They did not do anything to protect their people.

They urged their people to stand their ground.

They do not open their underground facilities to save these women and children.

 

Murder is what Hamas did.

What you see now is what happens in every war.

Not the same.

It's only 'obvious' if one has not clue what 'targeting' means. If Israel was out to kill civilians, the death toll would have been higher.

If someone displays this level of ignorance, then his military 'advice' should be ignored.

 

Israel is not obligated to value Palestinians' lives over Israeli lives.

Israel is not obligated to to care more about Palestinians' than the Palestinians' own government.

 

IDF soldiers are Israeli citizens.

Hamas could field his own men and face them, rather than asking Palestinian civilians to do so.

 

You whine about other poster playing 'arbiter' on the forum.

Apparently you see yourself as being an 'arbiter' on a way bigger scale.

Amusing.

 

Precision bombing is a thing. It doesn't imply pinpoint precision.

If Israel was using Hamas style bombing, there would be more dead Palestinians, and less buildings around.

The hostage swap ratio was something set by Hamas (and in earlier days, the Fatah etc.).

Do you think that they will agree to a 1 for 1 swap this time?

 

Again, you expect Israel to value Palestinian lives, more than Palestinians do.

Latest War Updates:

 

Hamas leadership is urgently calling for further resistance in the West Bank. Hamas Political Bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh called for louder condemnation of Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.[xvii] Haniyeh claimed on October 7 that the Al Aqsa Flood Operation began in the Gaza Strip and will extend to the West Bank.[xviii] A cybersecurity monitoring group said it had observed the largest single internet disruption in the Gaza Strip since hostilities began, amounting to a “total or near total blackout of internet service.”[xix] Hamas Political Bureau member Hussam Badran made an urgent appeal to people in the West Bank that “this is the time for weapons.”[xx]

If Israel is as civilised as they claim to be shouldn’t they value all lives equally regardless of what the Palestinians (or anyone else for that matter) does?
