Horror Day of Israeli Attacks:
- Thread starter Praxius
- Start date
So... No answer then I guess...
Thanks for coming out. Lemme see if Vanna can dig up a consolation prize for ya'll
I never realized that it was only the schools that the Israelis would provide advance notice on.
Shirley, you jest.
Past behavior is proof of what you were like at a certain point in 'the past'. If the indicator proves to be true the person is clearly on one side of the stupid line. Inability to see that for himself and apply the appropriate correcting action means the person is stupid and mentally deficient in that his moral compass is broken and as such he shouldn't be telling anybody what to do.
In Gaza electing a Government is an indication they are resisting Israeli rule therefore they must be terrorists, the elected and the voter and their friends and families too, . . . just to make sure none are missed.
Haven't looked up the stats lately. How many Arabs are living outside the area and claiming the right to return and how would that effect the next election if they all had 'their Israeli passports' so they would be voting in the next local/national election?
Oh oh, I must be renting more space in someones head again, lol.
I'm impressed that you know your flaws. Although it's sad that you can't change.
I'm also not surprised that I have to expalin that Israel has a track record of striking at rocket sites after the launch.
Ummm, Israel isn't and hasn't been involved in Gaza govt in a long long time.
So who's resisting what?

Those kids should have been in school over holidays to be used as shields not out enjoying summer.
I don't know they were targeted. Palestinian sources are not reliable. I don't know that they weren't forced to be there by Hamas. Who has a track record of forcing civilians to stay in areas they know are going to be shelled.
Yeah its easier to set them up as pawns and targets all in the name of God.
People who do this are lower than cockroaches.
Israel says they made a mistake. I guess they'd best get rid of Mr Magoo as a spotter.
Forced? Is that what Haaretz said? Like the kids who aren't in school being used as a shield?
Where are they going to go?
The West Bank is one big walled-in, open-air prison.
Pounding Gaza – World’s Largest Open-Air Prison
Pounding Gaza – World’s Largest Open-Air Prison | The Nader Page
An already troubling humanitarian crisis has intensified with the Israeli bombardment of Gaza, an area about twice the size of the District of Columbia that has about three times as many residents (1.8 million). Israel has been using its highly touted precise missiles to hit numerous targets. This collective punishment, a war crime per se, wreaks havoc on civilians and their life-sustaining infrastructure.
With over 1,700 explosive strikes so far, the Israeli military has pounded homes, schools, mosques, electric and water facilities, municipal buildings, health clinics, moving vehicles, a home for the seriously disabled and even tiny agriculture areas. As a result of these attacks, over two hundred and thirty Gazans have died and over seventeen hundred have been injured so far, about eighty percent are civilians, a majority of whom are women and children, according to UN observers.
That is only part of the continuing war against Gaza. For years, Israel has maintained a siege/blockade, restricting the importation of adequate food, medicine, water, electricity, construction materials and other necessities needed by the refugees in the world’s largest open-air prison. These daily deprivations have taken a deadly toll. Fatalities, sicknesses, untreated cancers have resulted. Half of the children are seriously malnourished due to the dire poverty associated with the Israeli air, land and sea encirclement. (There are even harsh restrictions on Gazan fishermen.)
Israel’s complex association with Hamas, the elected governors of Gaza, is rarely reported or discussed. First, the Israelis, with U.S. support, helped start Hamas over thirty years ago to counteract the influence of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) under Yasser Arafat. More recently, Israeli officials have been in regular communication with Hamas over the administrative details of the selective siege, custom duties and transfers of tax revenues by Israeli to pay for Hamas’ 40,000 public employees.
Even when open hostilities commence, the two adversaries remain in close communication to sense how far each can go, given their own internal political struggles, in the ensuing “lopsided battle,” as the New York Times calls it. Hamas and other splinter groups, comprising the complex dynamics of competing Palestinian factions, have launched some 1,000 feeble rockets to demonstrate that it can resist the hyper-powerful Israeli domination. The rockets obviously frighten Israelis, most of whom have access to secure shelters and are defended by the Israeli anti-missile system (which is called the Iron Dome and is funded largely by U.S. taxpayers). The Israeli military is knocking down 90% of the Palestinian rockets they target. These crude Palestinian rockets are so inaccurate that they largely fall on barren ground, including several right back on Gaza. Recently, one rocket claimed an Israeli life very close to the border where Israeli tanks lie waiting for the outright ground invasion.
Without any army, air force or navy, the Gazans have very limited military options. The Israelis have unlimited military options. The military invasion of the Palestinian enclave may unleash forces that may be uncontrollable and move Israel into a civilian catastrophe starting with no drinkable water and other human disasters.
In recent years, Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have suffered at least four hundred times more civilian causalities – both fatalities and injuries—than Hamas has inflicted on the Israelis whose immensely powerful forces occupy, colonize, brutalize, and loot the land, water and people of the remaining 22% of Palestine that has not already been taken by Israel.......

Something interesting further down in the above link:
• The Palestinian National Authority (PA) has long recognized the existence of Israel as an independent, secular state. So have numerous Arab and Islamic nations, belonging to the Arab league, whose comprehensive peace proposal was dismissed by Israel twelve years ago.
• Besides demanding ethnic cleansing, driving all Palestinians into the desert for the goal of a “Greater Israel” covering all of Palestine, some extremists have called for annihilation. Recently, on June 30th, a leader of the Jewish Home Party, part of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s ruling coalition posted a call for the destruction of the Palestinian people including “its elderly and its women, its cities and its villages, its property and its infrastructure,” adding that Israel should also not exclude Palestinian mothers because they give birth to “little snakes.” Thousands of viewers responded favorably.
Have you taken leave of your senses??
There were 150 rockets fired into Israel BEFORE they retaliated.
It could stop at any time.....all Hamas has to do is agree to a truce.
If I wear a bullet proof vest, and some idiot insists on shooting at me, guess who is at fault when I kill him??
Hint: It ain't me.
They did?
Yes forced, Hamas has a documented history of doing so.
I didn't read your long winded cut and paste, and have only to say that not the entire land mass is being shelled.
If that were the case, the death toll would astonomical.
Use your head.
I have no idea if those schools take the same breaks as we see elsewhere. Regardless, the diversion and exclusive focus on schools goes no where to addressing the lack of rocks being used in the many rocket launches into Israel.
Frankly, the biggest immediate issue (for me) in this situation is the deliberate use of children by Hamas in waging war... It's beyond reprehensible
They lynched the 3 Israeli kids and then launched the rockets
Room has become available lately as I recently went through and got rid of the moldy things. Rather than let my 'old knowledge' just swell I thought something from the 21st century might as well go in the empty spots. Most would call that change, perhaps you are not seeing the change because that part was right all along and doesn't need changing, only fine-tuning.
No wonder, the footage they are going by would make the Apollo stuff look like state of the art equipment, even today.
Since the IDF took that over? Whoever looks up the addresses of the places to be bombed next time they need some correction. (before they actually make any mistakes)
What you call resisting is what I call 'not fully convinced'. At this point Israel might have to surrender to Hamas because the 'right to return' will never be dropped. Under your own words to not be able to adapt to that and still get what you originally wanted just calls for a new approach to an old problem. When a their gets caught he automatically offers to pay twice what the item is actually worth if he wants the best possible relationship to exist between himself and his victim. Going back in and stealing twice as much in half the time is not something you should want on your resume at the end of the day. (when it may\may not matter)
