And israel is right to retain this measure of control, or do you prefer that they just sit back and be murdered?
The rocket attacks have only killed 28 people in 13 years.
That's hardly an epidemic. And besides, Israel does 10 times the murdering than Gazan's do.
irrelevant when taken as part of the Geneva Conventions, there should be no rockets targeting Israeli children as this is a WAR CRIME and a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. The rockets are unwarranted and ILLEGAL and the governing body of gaza should be hauled before the Hague and tried for their heinous crimes.
The problem lies in the muslim refusal to adhere to the Geneva conventions and stop using civilians as human shields. Then further refusing to provide safe havens for the civilians in times of attack. By refusing to do these things they make the deaths of civilians a foregone conclusion and under the terms of the Geneva Conventions they are to blame for the deaths NOT ISREAL.
I find it interesting that dime-a-dozen posters like you never mention the criminal actions of the arabs in gaza, as in how many hours or days was it after israel exited gaza in 2007 before rockets/artillery were fired over the border?
The rocket attacks are always in response to an Israeli air strike or targeted killing.
STOP LYING the rocket attacks are pre meditated and deliberate attempts at murdering Israeli children. They are the implementation of terrorism not a response to anything and the gazan leaders have admitted this as fact.
Idiots like you demand more and more concessions from israel, yet make no comment on how the more israel pulls back, the more hostile actions it faces.
I'm not demanding concessions from Israel. I'm demanding they honor international law and human rights and end the occupation and blockade. It's an occupation. There's nothing to concede. Just get the **** off land that isn't yours.
Who says it is not their land if it was bought by them in the first place. How would you like some Lebanese to tell you to get of your land because they hate Americans.
Read the transcripts of the UN GA and see were they have constantly stated that Israel is not occupying gaza and the blockade is legal, and that Israel is honouring International Law all the time. In fact they could implement ROLLING THUNDER and destroy gaza completely in one day and they would be within the terms of International Law.
Why don't you explain what steps towards peace have the gazan arabs ever taken, what token gestures, etc.? Tell us why Israel should not maintain preventative measures against an area firing rockets at it?
The only thing Gazan's can do, is what Israel allows them to do.
End the occupation and blockade and Israel won't get rockets.
