Yes proof read, its always a good idea, something I should also do more often before I press submit:

I think you're making it up, yes. Do you have anything that supports your claim or not?

I said I do not disagree. So, you can't read or write.

I hear what you are saying.  Yes neither 'side' is innocent, but one side wants peace, and the other does not.

How many rockets has Hamas indiscriminantly fired into Israel in the last 20 years? Over 50,000 - with 5,000 as part of this current act of terror. They are aiming at anyone and anything in Israel (Jew or not) - they are not targetting military targets. Iron Dome (Israel anti-rocket defence system, stops about 90% of them). 

How many rockets has Israel indiscriminantly fired into Gaza in the last 10 years?   None.  Yes some during a military strike have 'missed', but they were all aimed at a military and/or terrorist targets.

Israel used to 'occupy' Gaza until as part of a negotiated peace deal they left and handed power to the PLO.  Things were never been 'great' between Israel and PLO - but since Hamas took out the PLO and took over, things have got very bad and after their latest atrtocity Israel has had enough. Israel is going to re-occupy Gaza - and I doubt they will withdraw anytime over the next 5-10 years (maybe longer).

 

 

 

Based on historical events like the Vietnam War, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the USA's invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, a different narrative emerges. It suggests that those fighting for their freedom tend to ultimately triumph, and the occupying forces are destined to be defeated, sooner or later.

 

In the case of Israel, a few hundred freedom fighters have managed to humiliate Israel and bring it to its knees. What chances does Israel stand when its neighbors come together and initiate a full-scale war, equipped with an army, tanks, air force, and more? This current situation doesn't qualify as a war; it's rather a one-sided assault on a small group of fighters and the civilian population who possess very little.

   Are you unaware that that has happened previously ?

All of Israel's neighbours attacked Israel all at the same time

Israel on its knees? Do you have anything to support that? Last I heard the terrorists were crying about their dead, and their neighbors were begging for a ceasefire, no?

Estimate of Hamas forces involved in the initial attack run between 2000-3000. There were, for various reasons, less IDF combatants to handle this at first. They were followed by a mob of armed gazans.

 

Bring to it's knees? Lets not get carried away, most of the attackers were killed by the second day.

 

Which neighbors do you imagine will 'come together'? What would be their respective interests to do so?

 

Hamas does not fight for freedom. It's declared goal is to destroy Israel, not simply to free the Gaza Strip.

   The Palestinian invasion of Israel was rather insignificant , when making comparisons between Palestinians  invading Israel and USA invading Iraq ,

Gaza has had it's freedom since 2005, not the same as the other places you quoted. Butchering 1400 innocent civilians did not bring Israel to it's knees. You might not have noticed Israel has been fighting off it's neighbours attacks for 75 years, it's going nowhere and call it a war or not Hamas are finished, islamic hate however will go on.

If nothing  else it indicates that claims of  civilian  support for Hamas is a distortion that does not  justify  being made collateral damage.

Senior member of Hamas interviewed. Asked why Hamas did not build bomb shelters for the civilian population in Gaza. His reply?

 

We fight from the tunnels, its up to the UN to protect the civilians

Few  would debate that. The  question is  why does israel not value the lives  of Gazan civilians ?

How?

Some seem to support Hamas, some does not.

Don't think anyone seriously claimed all Gazans or all Palestinians support Hamas.

Well, it seems to value their lives more than their government, Hamas, do; although in fairness that is not saying a great deal.

Yes fact, I doubt you wanted more deaths...........
