Not as handicapped as you, but it's a handicap in a combat theater.
I don't think the machine guns were so busy they had to stop to let them cool down before all the targets were dead. Given enough time you could kill 100 womean and kids with a single shot .22.
Riiight! And the bulk of the world saw the closing of the Straights of Tiran to Israeli flagged ships as an act of war. Only the perpetual morons of your ilk believe otherwise, or have no idea that it even preceded the war.
Bulk of the world being US allies more or less, post the results of that 'poll'.
When Kennedy put Cuba under a sea blockade, backed by American warships, that was not considered an act of war, or at least it didn't start one. They were stopping military supplies, if JFK had included medical supplies then it would have been an act of war against Cuba, but he was smart enough not to cross the line.
It is a boycott if it was consumer goods, that is not a war crime, those ships were welcome to use a different route.. Was it consumer goods or was or ships of war?
Israel has Gaza under the same principle, they turn away goods destined for Gaza, medical supplies and food supplies come under aid to humanity. By your reasoning Israel has no right to interfer with goods destined for Gaza or the West Bank. Her sea blockade is an act of war because it targets humanitarian supplies.
His question was answered, why no rebuttal to the rest of my post. The last argument to that whole article was the author of one events was sued over the 'term' massacre. That word was never used in his original article, however the ones who did the killing never denied the event happened just like his investigation, they objected to the term massacre. 100 or so people (women and kids) lined up and gunned down. I don't care if it bother you, it is the truth about how Israell has acted since the beginning if the mess that was created by the West.
Here's the problem, you haven't a goog enough grasp of history to have a discussion on this topic, let alone to have formulated an opinion.
I'm not claiming to be a expert in history. At the same time I reserve the right to bust out into laughter when I see a graph that not only has the hockey-stick appearance but it is more like a pregnant hockey stick to boot. If you want to swallow that as the truth go for it, just don't expect (or demand) me to agree with something that is not as firm as you believe it to be.
I suggest you actually go and read about the history of the area. And you should start by not reading things on the web.
So I can grow up to be like you? No thanks, I prefer to expand my knowledge rather than be spoon fed with no chance to ask questions. All your points should be able to be confirmed by some sort of 'official reference'.
Try an actual history book, not OpEd pieces.
But they all list source material, if an article is against what you believe it wouldn't matter if it came from the Encylopedia Britannica.
