At the moment, we only have the Israelis word that any babies at all have been slaughtered.

 

Taking a small sampling of extreme or isolated events / individuals and tarring an entire people / group with the same brush seems very very similar to the underlying logic of that word the you guys are constantly parroting on about….. anti - what?

Presumably more "European" Israel held to a higher moral standard than Arabs.

Don't expect civilized behavior from them of course. They're Arabs.

 

Racist double standard personified.

Yup.

Same line of reasoning which paints the Palestinians as passive, ignorant, unable to choose, unable to change their course of action, not accountable for anything. And at the same time, arguing they should be 'given' a state. How they're supposed to maintain and run their state considering these characterizations is never addressed (or again blamed on Israel, somehow).

How dare you post untruths like this. 

Show one of my posts that is antisemitic. Nothing could be farther from the truth, I've a good friend, of over 20 years, who is a Rabbi here in Thailand and we share about our spiritual journies  on Skype regularly. 

Of course I don't justify killing babies. 

Of you haven't apologised in an hour, you're being reported, and ignored.

If your posts are factual, then they’ll stand up to scrutiny, if they’re BS, then they won’t.

 

I understand why you are afraid of a little scrutiny.

Does anybody think this can't get worse, and even for the Israelis?  

 

Unfortunately the propensity of things getting worse is increasingly apparent, as history has shown, human nature has never changed to date from five thousand years ago when civilizations led by megalomaniacs throwing sticks and stones at each other. The world is a far more dangerous place now, unfortunately many fail to understand. Netanyahu stated, the Middle East is going to change, read into that as you wish of the actual consequences considering Iran's allies.

There is no official Israeli government policy calling for a total annihilation of the Palestinians. There is not even an official Israeli government policy to the effect that the PA be dismantled. Hamas Charter, and numerous comments by Hamas leadership clarify that their policy is set.

Settlement expansion is official policy.

Settlement expansion is effectively a slow motion genocide of Palestinians.

There was very clearly a message. If Israel wants to see progress towards peace then they need to start with themselves, stop committing crimes and atrocities and invite international peacekeepers in to enforce a definitive border between two nation states - Israel and Palestine.

Of course not.  Israel just had a 9/11 event.  They have the hearts and sympathy of most of the world.  I just hope they don't squander it like W did.

 

Indiscriminate killing of toddlers and old folks in Gaza can deplete that goodwill.

 

What's the rush (other than political expediency)?  Hamas isn't escaping anywhere.  They're boxed in.

How would you feel if you were born into a prison camp and denied freedom? Would you be happy to accept your prisoner status, or would you fight back any way you could?

"or would you fight back any way you could?"

 

No not anyway you could, Hamas has crossed a line no rational thinking person would ever believe what they are capable of, they take evil to a level very rarely seen before. Beheading babies is not "fighting back anyway you could." Sorry you keep needing reminding!

How do do they use kids as shields when it's great big bombs from far up in the sky killing them. You think the pilot can see all the kids from way up there?

Some of them were reportedly killed in their beds.

And guess what, if Hamas had not committed this heinous barbaric attack in Israel none of this would be happening, take some responsibility!

Here is one of your previous comments

 

“How can the world sit and watch the Netanyahu wipe out over 2 million people by refusing them food and water? How can some even support it? This is pure ethnic cleansing and he is a Fascist war criminal”

 

Calling the Israeli Prime Minister a fascist war criminal for responding to the appalling atrocities committed by Hamas, but no criticism whatsoever of Hamas, and you claim not to be antisemitic …… not much eh, and you want to report me for calling you out; pathetic.

Remember that Israel left Gaza long ago.

 

 

Who are you trying to fool? While Israel withdrew from Gaza, they maintained a stringent blockade, tightly controlling entry and exit, regulating the flow of goods, conducting drone strikes on suspected Palestinians riding their cars or motorcycles (Extra judicial killing), patrolling the coastal areas and airspace. Israel killed many fishermen who strayed few meters while making a living at sea.

 

Israel imposed severe limitations on the import of construction materials, hindering Gaza's reconstruction efforts after the damage inflicted. Likewise, Israel kept strict control of the electricity and fuel supply and used it to drive Gaza into unprecedented poverty and despair. Additionally, they exerted pressure on Egypt to enforce similar travel restrictions, preventing Gazans from freely crossing the Rafah border.

 

Since 2007, Israel has conducted multiple military operations, resulting in the destruction of infrastructure and the tragic loss of thousands of innocent lives. Israel insured that Gaza would remain one of the Thus, it is important to avoid portraying Israel as a peaceful nation that peacefully departed from Gaza without ever intervening in local affairs. This narrative does not align with the facts, and it's imperative to acknowledge the reality of the situation.

The US should give $3 billion in military aid to the Palestinians too, you know, in the interest of making it a fair fight.

 

If the Palestinians had access to modern military grade weaponry they’d I doubt they’d attack festivals and families but instead Israeli military targets.

There is no requirement, other in nonsense posts and schoolyard mentality, that military conflicts will be balanced. This not a boxing match.

 

What you 'doubt' got little to do with reality.

 

No one stopped the Palestinians from going the way of having their own state, developing a proper army and arms industry, or forging strong ties with superpowers.

 

As usual, you seem to think that everything needs to be handed to the Palestinians.

There are no Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip.

There are more Palestinians in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip then there ever were.

It's 'genocide' only if you aim to mutilate the term and demean it.
