The Threat of the Human Shield Strategy Hamas Uses Extends Beyond Israel, Gaza;
There are over 50 Muslim countries in the world which consider themselves MUSLIM countries and treat their women, and non-Muslims as second class citizens. The Palestinians are not citizens of Israel and like every other country in the world, are not privileged to the same rights as are a country's citizens.
The Gaza Strip has been turned back to the people as Israel left it completely in 2005. Israel is under no obligation to allow a group of people who call for its destruction to use any part of Israel as a land route. Israel is not obligated under international law or any law for that matter to let a single Gazan step foot on Israeli soil. Almost every country in the world controls its borders, and Israel is no different. Israel is under no obligation to live up a higher standard than any other country in the world. The Palestinians want equality? Let them ask for peace and build a second Palestinian homeland run by Palestinians. The fact is that the Palestinians don't have a single person capable of creating and running and independent country. If you can name anyone who is up to the job, please name him or her. They can't stop killing each other and the mark of a beginning of humanistic civility is when people stop killing their own in power grabs.
Please also compare Israel and religious freedoms with 'any' of the Muslim countries, including Indonesia. To attack Israel as a suppressor of religious freedoms, when there is no Muslim country with anything half way close to the freedoms of Israel is the complete and utter proof of some form of insanity. Even the Arabians who are negotiating with the Jews don't believe such tripe.
Any bit of research will tell the truth. Yes, Israel has some fanatics, the more so for all the attacks the Arabians have promulgated from Israel's birth (Push them into the Sea) to the Hamas's Khartoum Accord Dictates (The Three No's.). All state their wish for the destruction of Israel. It is clear enough to me and you can be certain that any discussion of peace with twenty thousand Hezbollah on Israel's south borders is just not going to happen. We know the weapons against us and we know the targeting on the American bases in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as Saudi and Egypt. Yes, we know and it is certainly taken into account by a knowledgeable West.
Whilst Palestinian apologists continue this brinkmanship game, PF continue to demand massive deaths in the Middle East. If he had any idea of what Israel has in its defensive weaponry and IF he truly cared about lives in the ME, he would see that negotiation is the way to go and Arabian demanded intermediaries in the negotiating process is unworkable and be certain that the dynamics of negotiations will change if a war comes about. Be certain of that.
Israel has some of the worlds prized nuclear physicists, chemical engineers, etc. If this war comes, there will be a lot of mopping up for the US. They will create a far stronger hegemony when this is over.
This upcoming war never was about the Palestinians. They are no more than flotsam and jetsam in the bigger game called the middle eastern hegemony. Iraq attempted to break it. The terrorists attempted to break it and now Iran attempts to break it. Some think they will win. I do not.
Not propaganda. No words. Just pictures of Palestinians herding their young whilst they shoot at helicopters, outposts, etc.
Hamas does this alll for the express purpose of the propaganda links you post. The young WANT to be killed as martyrs. They've been taught this since childhood.
Want some of those videos?
But our snipers are pretty good. We get their shooters mostly. Those are mostly the ones dead. Not all, but Israel sure tries to separate what Hamas puts together.
