Israel's 'victories' in Gaza come at a steep price !

[Agnapostate]

Israel will continue to ravage unchecked so long as a U.S. administration continues to provide that nation with unconditional and unregulated economic, diplomatic, and military aid. So long as Israel continues to receive their aid while they construct settlements in the Occupied Territories, so long as they continue to receive their aid while they remain in unjust possession of the Golan Heights, so long as they continue to receive their aid while they launch obscenely disproportionate responses on civilian populations, they will continue to ignore democratic consensus of world nations and continue their campaign of unjust warfare.

It's ironic that the justification for the 2006 invasion of Lebanon was the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers while Israel has kidnapped Gaza civilians in the past. Since they kidnapped a doctor and his brother around the time of that war from Gaza because they were the sons of a Hamas leader, should the inhabitants of Gaza have invaded Israel? While it was foolish and wrong for Hamas militants to fire Qassam rockets into Israel, the Israeli response to kidnappings is complete invasion. Why is Hamas then condemned for firing rockets when Israel is permitted to invade entire nations?

The Arabs won't allow it. They'll riot or intafada. Sometimes I wonder if the IDF "accidentally" misplaces the rubber bullets for the real ones.

Fox news just said that 3 IDF soilders were killed and 20 wounded by friendly fire.

Friendly fire is just more Zionist lies.

Israel doesn't want the world to know that the Palestanian Freedom Fighters can inflect heavy damage to the IDF Storm Troopers

Freedom fighters? Very funny. Considering the way Hamas immediately silences any opinion but their own and the hundreds of Palestinians they unceremoniously murdered in taking over Gaza and the dozens, perhaps hundreds, of Palestinians they murdered on suspicion of collaborating with Israel, the Gazans will have much more freedom under an Israeli occupation than they have had under the Hamas occupation of Gaza.

Israel will continue to ravage unchecked...

Hopefully. Not everyone can be so optimistic.

So 3 dead and 20 wounded is "heavy damage"? Have you forgotten the hundreds of Palis dead at Israeli hands?

And these three Israelis were killed by friendly fire, an errant artillery shell from a tank,at that. At least he didn't claim they were killed in the Mother of all Battles.

No I haven't forgotten the hundreds of civilians the IDF has murdered.

LOL
yeah sure
too bad Hamas doesnt follow the Geneva Conventions and actually have their terrorists wear uniforms

 

[Sunni Man]

Hamas is like most Freedom Fighters the world over.

They are a popular grass roots organization composed of patriotic civilians.

Much like the Minute Men in the American Revolution.

Murdered? When did Al Jazeera tell you that?

Fire Fighters, Freedom Fighters, make the necessary adjustments. You know what that term really means.

to be a freedom fighter, one has to be fighting FOR freedom, not the slavery of sharia law

They are NOTHING like the Minute Men in the American Revolution. Hamas is a terrorist organization that targets civilians in other countries, hide behind women and children when they make those attacks, and flat out LIE in their propaganda. They are despicable little cretins who demonstrate time and again that human life has no value to them (not even their own women and children). Comparisons to Minute Men is just another piece of rhetoric designed to appeal to idiots in a bid for sympathy.

Did you ever wonder where the hell Hamas got the funds to purchase all these rockets they have been (and continue to) firing into Israel? Can you imagine how much better off the "Palestinians" would be if Hamas had spent that money for food medicine and education? I often hear about the funding of Israel with US dollars and never hear a peep about the funding by Arab states for hamas and other terrorist organizations. Why is that?

 

[Agnapostate]

Probably because U.S. aid to Israel is largely unconditional and unregulated, and because several Arab states fund Hamas and Hezbollah to encourage military action against Israel because their own military forces are not powerful enough to contend with the IDF over conquested land.
