Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

Why this sudden escalation.

Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

^I want to know the same thing?Why all of a sudden?

it is worse than the drones...they are just firing off into "Hamas targets", and ofcoz all the civilian casualties are now the fault of Hamas not Israel army? very clever!

Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

The following sums it up:

Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

hmmm…sooo Israel shoots a child, Hamas then collapses a tunnel INJURING 4 Israeli soldiers, and then Israel kills more children!! Wow, how brave of Israel to attack children…oh and they want to the Arab world to fear Israel… :omg: sure, all they are doing is making the Arab world even more mad than they already are!

Ofcoz the US’ stand is that Israel has a right to defend itself…what about the rest?

i think it’s escalating partially to do with recent gaza support?

Israel is just digging itself into a bigger hole with each passing day.

Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

Israel usually PMses before election.

Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

Unbelievable!! I am shocked with the idiotic things the Israeli guy says..and it was handled very well by the Palestinian…

on latest middle-east violence, as always EQ>IQ mantra prevailing in both camps…rest of the world sadly becoming increasingly frustrated, quiet and disenchanted…

israeli atrocities are way out of control…and US govt is shamelessly supporting Isarel as always… but then we should keep asking why did Hamas provoke Israel by firing rockets?even Palestinians concede that Hamas started this round of violence.. question is why?

and if you dont know the answer or refuse to answer, let me help… I beleive Hamas mistakenly thought that with new pro-islamic Egyptian govt in place and Israeli elections coming up, Israel may not respond that fiercely…and even if they do, so what..for Hamas, more intentional popularity

bottom line..IQ should always be >EQ.. condemn Israeli brutality but dont forget to question Hamas’s painful intentions which ultimately resulted in killing innocent kids…this is the same strategy that Al Qaida employed against USA…kill American pride by destroying thsoe 2 towers so that a new global war starts…and they sort of succeeded in that…

if you simply want to use EQ and not IQ and decide not to blame Hamas for anything, you are welcome to do so…but with that thought process you will never get to an actionable solution … hamas started this round of violence and Israelis reacted with shameless brutality…

by the way are you following tweets of IDF and Hamas..huge social media war…i try to be unbiased and i believe Israeli reaction is way too much…concentrated in the north, targeting defenseless civilians in the most densely populated areas…

A balanced article … please make sure IQ>EQ when analyzing issues like Israel- Palestine … there are always 2 sides to every story..

Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

It is so sad that inspite of years of negotiations, the conflict is still not settled. It is such a shame that innocents on both sides are being harassed like this. If you think that the Palestenians are the only guys suffering(I was of the same opinion until recently I met an Israeli guy. He was telling me that everyday is a nightmare with a constant fear of suicide bombs), it is the same with Israelis too.
I understand there can be a amicable solution, but both sides should be willing to relent. Hope better sense prevails.

There are no two sides to the story. One is an occupier holding gaza under siege for the past three years; and the other is a victim fighting the fourth most powerful army in the world with mere rockets, simply for survival. The idea that this is an equal sided war is beyond ridiculous. This is david vs goliath. Theres simply no excuse to be deceived by israel lies.. Not in this day and age!

Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

nope not true.....no one is saying that there this is an equal war...of course israel is much more stronger and i never said they are equal militarily..so not sure what do you mean

but there are absolutely 2 sides to every story...Israeli brutality is beyond question but how come we never bring hamas crimes into question...what have they done to make gaza a better place to live despite its dysfunctional status amid israeli and US block-adage? NOTHING!.....

what we do know that hamas launched over 600 missile attacks in 2010, around 700 in 2011 and so far close to 600 in 2012... you are welcome to do your own search and verify these numbers....independent sources confirm hat hamas has launched over 5000 missile strikes over israel in last 7 years....those missiles were targeting everyone....kids hospitals schools...and more importantly created a continuous state of psychological frustration among israeli citizens...

problem is that the moment you present these facts you will be labeled as a Zionist jewish-lover fascist...Israeli brutality is beyond question but how come we never bring hamas crimes into question...what have they done to make gaza a better place to live despite its dysfunctional status amid israeli and US block-adage? NOTHING!

once they had gaza strip, they should have abandoned military outfit coz israel is far far superior and these missile strikes will only create more problems..their one-point agenda should have been to make gaza a better place to live no matter how brutal israel is....in few years Israelis would have backed out amid international pressure plus its own public would have demanded a back-off and rest of the world would have supported Palestinians with so much cash..but Palestinians picked a different course..hence paying the price...

Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

Once they blockade you and keep you virtual prisoners than the other side will retaliate More so when you realize that America will turn blind eye to every illegal thing Israel will do. Imagine if this was being done by Iran to another country, the champion of human rights would have been in UN crying crocodile tears and getting its army ready to invade Iran. Hypocrisy at its best.

Another thing is that amazingly that even after 5000 rockets have been launched by Hamas as per your figures less than 10 Israelis have died. What are they launching, fire crackers. Propaganda at its worst to justify the massacre of innocent Palestinians.

Re: Israel Attacks Gaza With Airstrikes

Morality is not granted, it is secured by force...by power..simple as that...when Muslims were strong no one dared to come close!

If iran cannot secure the safety of its citizens by power, then stop playing with fire...I hold iran completely responsible for all the misery its citizens have to face and will face

Same message for Hamas...even if they fire crackers but if they know retaliation will be hard core bombs, dont do it

and the logic that israel uses for blockades is the existence of hamas and hazb-ullah forces ... once Palestinians had gaza no matter how dysfunctional, hamas should have announced its dismantlement...in a year, israel would have backed out...they had to....these rich arab countries and iran who support hamas and haza by giving weapons, could have poured billions and make gaza a heaven... these arab countries could have used their connections with US...they built dubai from nothing into a heaven..but hamas chose to take a different path.

and remember there are many examples where nations succeeded despite injustice dumped upon them...

Japan the best example in the modern history..who would have thought these stubborn Japaneses would put their head down to US

i mean US had used atomic bomb against them.... and worst they actually made jpaan a colony....Japaneses could have started a gorilla war....where would be japan today? but Japanese focused on a single goal...sustainable education, trade, science...

and even if it is only a fire cracker, it is a disruption and psychologically depressing..i am sure you wont appreciate one single fire cracker outside your home and you will demand retaliation...and if your government is strong it will retaliate...so onus is on weak to find the best possible but sustainable solution...powerful never bow down!

we will never reach to an agreement...so peace!

This is what i mean. What kind of mentality must one have to avoid blaming the culprit at every cost. Mind numbing slavery at its best.
