GUEST,Guest from Sanity BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine (2685* d) RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine 13 Jul 14


'RETAKE the Gaza.."

RETAKE...think about it...Israel gave the lands for the Palestinians, and Hamas used the land, that was given in for a 'peaceful' concession, to build tunnels and fortify it, as a base to launch attacks against the very people who gave it to the Palestinians to live, hopefully in peace. You are assuming (or trying to portray) that the Palestinians are wonderfully 'happy' with Hamas. You are trying to portray Hamas is happy with ISIS, Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, the Sunnis and the Shiites, Kurd, Egypt, Somalia, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban etc etc, like they are all one sort of one big happy family of peaceful, fun-loving, happy Arabs, who welcome their cousins, the Jews, to the region, so they could all live as bosom buddies! ...but of the aforementioned groups, they are all at war with each other, allying themselves TEMPORARILY, with another of the group, to help wipe out somebody else of the group!....which causes me to wonder...WHY do you resent the Jews? WHY do you resent Israel?..when they are the ONLY ones to grant concessions, and lands, only to have the agreements violated and be attacked, in return. Truth be told, if it broke out into all out war, Israel could wipe the rest off the map. If anything they have shown restraint, while at the same time, no tolerance to having their country repeatedly attacked. WHY does that bother you?? Does it infringe on your predisposed bias and hatred?

As far as Chomsky, to whom I usually agree with on a lot of issues, let's rephrase the question..."The Hamas decision to rain death and destruction into Israel(remember, they fired the first rockets), to use lethal weapons of the modern battlefield on a largely defenseless civilian population, is the final phase in a decades-long campaign to ethnically-cleanse Israelis.
Israel uses sophisticated attack jets and naval vessels to bomb densely-crowded refugee camps, schools, apartment blocks, mosques, and slums to attack a population that has rocket launchers hidden within the civilian populace, which has no air defense, no navy, no heavy weapons, (except missile launchers), no artillery units,(except missile launchers) no mechanized armor, (except missile launchers)(except missile launchers)(except missile launchers)no command in control, except missile launchers, no army… (except terror units with missile launchers)and calls it a war. It is not a war, it is murder."
Now IF Hamas is FORCING civilians to act as human shields, perhaps the civilians should rise up against Hamas...IF they decide to be human shields, on their own, then they are combatants, who are foolishly unarmed while in the line of fire!..I mean, why bring just sandals and a Burkha to a war zone?!? to be a shield...with your children???..and expect Hamas to protect you??
I got a 'novel idea'..how about not launching missile strikes, kidnapping, or other acts of violence and then hiding behind innocent civilians, so you can claim that the Israelis started it with no provocation...or just for the 'fun of it'????

Lots of questions to answer...let's try it...or at least THINK beyond the biases!
