I agree. You can't be using human shields against the Israelis. Maybe against a less brutal aggressor than Israel they would work, but we've already seen that Israelis don't give a shit about shooting women and children. Putting children in the line of fire is madness.Kmarion wrote:

From your link
It just doesn't seem to smart to me. If you were trying to protect your women and children wouldn't you want to keep them as far away from the people who would be targeted by Israel's military?
At the risk of sounding harsh - why did the Jews leave it until it was too late to put up some resistance (Warsaw Ghetto Uprising)?

Argentina Dirty War 1976 - 1983
The Dirty War, from 1976-1983, was a seven-year campaign by the Argentine government against suspected dissidents and subversives. Many people, both opponents of the government as well as innocent people, were "disappeared" in the middle of the night. They were taken to secret government detention centers where they were tortured and eventually killed. These people are known as "los desaparecidos" or "the disappeared."
After the death of the controversial President Juan Peron in 1974, his wife and vice president, Isabel Peron, assumed power. However, she was not very strong politically and a military junta led a coup against her and removed her from office. This military junta maintained its grip on power by cracking down on anybody whom they believed was challenging their authority. Casualty counts from this war range from 10,000 to 30,000 people.
Although the military dictatorship carried out its war against suspected domestic subversives throughout its entire existence, it was ironically a foreign foe which brought the regime to an end. In the early 1980s, it became clear to both the world and the Argentine people that the government was behind the tens of thousands of kidnappings. The junta, facing increasing opposition over its human rights record, as well as mounting allegations of corruption, sought to allay domestic criticism by launching a successful campaign to regain Las Islas Malvinas (the Falkland Islands).
The Falkland Islands have been a source of contention between England, which administers them, and Argentina, which claims them, since 1820. The junta had thought that it could reclaim these islands relatively easily, that England wouldn't mind their loss, and that the government would regain its popularity and control over its people. However, the government was wrong in its anticipations when 72 days after the invasion of the Islands, the British military won the war, having captured 9,800 Argentine POWs.
This unexpected loss was the final blow for the military regime, and in 1982, it restored basic civil liberties and retracted its ban on political parties. The Dirty War ended when Raul Alfonsin's civilian government took control of the country on December 10, 1983.

Where in his post did he "bad mouth" other people's governments? Fact of the matter is, most countries' governments have done bad things in the past. All he is trying to do is get people to think about why this shit is going on.silo1180 wrote:

But they were not a nation, they were an extremist group. And one reason they did it is because of the US's backing of Israel, if the US had remained neutral 9/11 may not have happened.Miller wrote:

You are so lame, coz some military dictatorship took the country when I was a baby, I can't talk about what I think is wrong? It wasn't my government. I didnt' vote it. Do you wanna talk about that?

I don't. There is a difference between protecting your own citizens and wholesale slaughter of foreign civilians. Killing Palestians doesn't achieve anything (except the terrorist minority) except to create a climate where you will get more and more terrorism.rawls2 wrote:

No government in the world officially recognizes that Israel has left the Gaza strip. That includes the UN. Israel controls the roads, ports, airspace, and economy. Hardly a gesture of goodwill.mafia996630 wrote:

Stay at school a bit more, you will need it for sure. My government isn't killing Palestinians, and if it were I would be the first to criticize it. If you want to defend Israel go ahead, but use some background to support your poor statements, instead of accusing me for something that happened in my country 30 years ago. I was goo goo and pooping myself. So, according to your lame argument, Argentinians can't talk because we had 7 years of a military dictatorship 30 years ago? The Spanish can't talk because of Franco? The Basques can't talk because of ETA? The Irish can't talk because of the IRA? The Russians can't talk because of Stalin? The Germans can't talk because of Hitler? I don't find this very fair. So, I will talk all the shit I want. Here, in school kids are learning about that 7 years, we don't deny it, we don't forget in order to avoid it in the future, so tell everyone what happened here, because it was terrible. Although you don't know a shit of what happened here, you just did your lame google to find some crap.silo1180 wrote:
