just once, only once would i like to see hamas fight in front of the civies and not behind them.  they dont because they know they would get stomped.

So let me get this straight-140 civies got killed and none of the Hamas members? Either Israelis are incompetent or they are deliberately killing civies

Israel killed +140 people.  We don't know how many of those were militants or civilians.

this is from an AP story.....

"Most of those killed were security men"

so, go learn something next time.

BBC says something similar but:

BBC wrote:

Israeli F-16 bombers have pounded key targets across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 225 people, local medics say.

Most of those killed were policemen in the Hamas militant movement, which controls Gaza, but women and children also died, the Gaza officials said.

Yes, of course women and children are going to die. HAMAS FIRES ROCKETS FROM CIVILIAN LOCATIONS!

Why is this so hard for people to understand? I really just don't get it. On top of it, Israel killed MAINLY HAMAS members! Something like 90-95%? Of course though, that's never good enough. It's called collateral damage. It's war. It happens. Just like it happened in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and every other war that's ever happened on the planet. Welcome to the human race.

Nothing is ever good enough for the Anti-Israel crowd, I swear to God. They could only go in on the ground and kill no civilians, but people would be mad because the IDF was breaking property of the Palestineans through gunfire. It's like...really? Come the fuck on.

...after 200+ rocket attacks over the last week. Hamas made it clear that they wanted war. Hamas gets its war.

Bingo. Best post in the thread.

To be fair this is a pretty legitimate military response to a barrage of rockets following a ceasefire Hamas wouldn't extend.

thing is, those rockets dont wipe out city blocks, sure they are fired indiscriminately, and hamas are fucking douche bags for doing that, but Israel is no better for what they did, and will escalate in doing. I'm so sick of this bullshit from the middle east, and theres Israel all high and mighty bc big brother America has its back.

Israeli military is as much of a terrorist group as hamas, they just use different tactics, advanced weaponry, and try to justify it to us.

Terrorism: the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.

i think the people living in Gaza right now are pretty fucking intimidated. scared. sleeping in terror and fear of air strikes. Just like the Israelis who were under constant rocket attacks.
No one is in the right here.

Or any toilet bowl of a religion for that matter. Christianity, Muslim, Judaism to name a few, all preach violence in one way or another. it is how the followers interpret it that makes the difference.

well they can crush the pals in one second if they wanted to.  seems they are a little more progressed no?

No the Israelis are just rabid religious extremists with bigger guns.

try using the whole quote since you missed the examples about progression.  fuck sakes.

Having airlines and a tourist industry are not measures of social progression IMO, gues your perspective is a bit limited.
Given they were agrarian peasants who had their land stolen from under them and are living under oppression wouldn't really expect it TBH, any more than I'd expect the eskimos to have created Disneyworld on an ice floe just so some dumbfuck could fly there.

they have a real society.  the pals dont even have a real govt.  so yes, israel is way more advanced.  figures you would try and argue that.  quite stupid of you.

The Palestinians do have a goverment, the US just doesn't like it.

no, they really dont.  even serge stated that.  they have zero control over their people.  hamas runs the show.

Correct, governments don't have control over their people, its the other way around.
