If another country started firing rockets into your neighborhood...

Why are they firing rockets?

Does it matter if they're firing on civilians? Of course it doesn't.

Why are they firing rockets?

Hamas mission is to wipe israel off the planet. End of story.

 

[The Rabbi]

The media barely reported the 70+ rocket attacks on Israel preceding Israel's defensive actions. So for most people all of a sudden Israel is firing at Gaza with no reason. No wonder some people aren't that supportive.
Media in this country sucks. No wonder they are losing market share and viewers.

It's so sad that a beaten people would want revenge against those who stole their land.

Israelis have been on this land for the past 3,500 years. It's their land.

Vanishing the Palestinians

by GHADA KARMI

When the Zionists decided in 1897 to establish a Jewish state in Palestine, the Jews of Vienna despatched a delegation to examine the country for its suitability. The delegation reported back as follows: "the bride is beautiful but she is married to another man". They had found that Palestine to their dismay was already inhabited by another people. And this has been Zionism’s central problem ever since. How to "vanish the Palestinians" and get an empty land? The latest manifestation of this imperative is the barrier wall, which Israel is currently building to separate and enclose Palestinian towns and villages in the lands it occupied after 1967. There are those who rightly point to the wall’s illegality and infringement of human rights. And the International Court of Justice has just affirmed this view resoundingly in its ruling, passed on 9.7.04 by 14 of the 15 judges, that the wall was an illegal structure when in the occupied Palestinian territories and that Israel would have to tear it down and make restitution for the damage it has caused to thousands of Palestinians. This position is entirely valid, but critics, in my view, have missed one crucial aspect of the wall’s purpose, which is, to "vanish" the Palestinians, to make them so invisible that Israelis can go on pretending that there is no "other man".

If native Americans started killing American civilians that would be ok?

The native Americans didn't develop the technology and couldn't work together. Who's to blame for that??? I'm sorry a stronger culture came in as the rest of the human race does and beat them.

The gaza strip is one of the poorest places on earth and the people do nothing to better their position. Israel is light years ahead of them within technology. What do you expect going to win???

False analogy. Israel is surrounded by Arab countries.

Victimhood is the mainstay for the stupid and weak that think they can attack the stronger. These people have a mission to wipe israel off the planet and keep firing rockets into israel trying to get them to attack them...Then they turn around in play the victim when israel gets angry!

Maybe they should stop attacking and go to school?

 

[Sunni Man]

History shows that all evil states and those who rule them will eventually fall.

Israel won't be an immune to this fact.

What difference does that make?

1#These people should ask for peace and they will likely get it as israel doesn't want war.
2# Ask for books on farming, engineering, ect...
3# Build schools and colleges
4# Build up their wealth and build a military
5# 50 years from now then attack Israel

That would make more sense!

Really? While Israel continues to gobble up their land with settlements? Get real...
