Re: Gaza Under attack
Murder of 3 civilians in one country of one background is not enough reason to go and destroy a whole group of people, and bomb their innocents.
There are crimes daily in the US, and often by minorities that are from poor socioeconomic backgrounds. Do we go to their countries of origin and open fire? No. That would be crazy. But that's what has been done here. Instead of doing an investigation and bringing the perpetrators of that crime to justice, they instead take some innocent palestinian kid and burn him alive, and then beat the crap out of his cousin (who happens to be a US citizen).
Burned ALIVE. Wait I'm sorry, did that kid go kill 3 Israeli kids that he was burned alive?
So, on top of the obstruction to trade, movement, humiliating encounters at the border, prevention of rights to agriculture, preventing women from seeking professional obstetric care outside their ghetto borders, keeping an educated population unemployed, not even allowing a bloody turkish ship to come to port for charity and trade for crying out loud...
I mean the atrocities have added up. You can't blame people for wanting to fight back. It's not terrorism, it's a rebellion to fight for their rights, that have decade after decade been slowly taken from them.
Having said that, Hamas threw rockets targeting civilian targets. So, muslims can't play victim and play aggressor at the same time either, just as other populations can't do that. Firing rockets at civilians in retaliation just spirals the situation out of control, and the result is in front of us. At some point, showing restraint and mercy can be a GREAT tactical move. Neither side is figuring this out.
excuse me PCG? are you calling me a zionist?
where did i say that zionits reaction was proportionate and justifiable? it never was and it never will be.....
where did i say that Murder of 3 civilians in one country of one background is enough reason to go and destroy a whole group of people, and bomb their innocents?
where did i say that burning innocent Palestinian kid alive was ok?
zionists are the biggest terrorists themselves on this planet (and yes not all jews are zionists....just like all muslims are not fundamentalists taliban or al qaeda) and all i am saying how to eliminate or minimize those factors that provide these zionists with an excuse to exercise this brutality.
I believe Hamas's slogan of death to israel and destroy isarel in itself breeds violence and in turn that violence provides these zionsits with a launching pad to exercise their brutality ...
**now let me also make another important point... if hamas was a legitimate power, even 30% of Israeli force, i would have supported hamas's military struggle **but 50 years of violent struggle has not provide Palestinians with any thing..that is why yaser arafat gave up military struggle and decided to negotiate.
