Israeli officials criticize Hamas for using primitive missiles to indiscriminately fire at Israel from Gaza.
Man 1: We target their leaders with high-tech precision weapons.
Man 2: Maybe we should keep that thought to ourselves.
No fair!!!! The Jews are shooting back!!!Close, but no cigar. Both sides pitch hissy fits because the other side fights back. Extremists from both sides just want the other side to leave (or die) without making a fuss.
It was ISRAEL that fired on the U.S.S. Liberty, repeatedly after being told to stop. NO Palestinian, nor any other Middle East country has fired on our Navy first or without provocation. A friend doesn’t kill friends, but Israel has done so, repeatedly. Going back to the 50’s when they assassinated German scientists in Egypt, they’ve also, always, played “fast and loose” with international law. Same with the Eichmann “trial”, after kidnapping him from South America. Those who have no respect for the law, should stop demanding they be “protected” by it.
And Israel’s first response after the UN vote was to announce more housing in the West Bank. Time to cut off some of their defense budget since nothing else seems to get through to BaBe.
‘Then level Gaza. Scrape it down to bedrock, and push the trash into the sea. Cut down all orchards, sow salt in all the fields. Make it uninhabitable.’An anti-Semitic rant if I ever saw one. So you wish to drive a nation into the sea and advocate their destruction. How different is this from Hamas extremists? You are part of the problem when you spew racist bile; you’re simply the reverse of the coin.
‘…the Palestinian Authority for including as a core plank of their politics that “we deny Isreal the right to exist”.’As a prelude to the Oslo Accord of ‘93, the PLO & Arafat recognised the state of Israel; as part of the Oslo Accord, the PLO also agreed to excise such or similar declarations from their charter. Clinton in ’98 witnessed a public vote that rescinded these clauses.jrmerm said, @et2008’Absolutely. But good luck trying to get a serious dialog about the fundamental reasons behind the situation.’I know; how about getting a serious dialogue started when all parties are sincere and acknowledge all the facts before spouting nonsense and inaccuraccies.
The U.N. merely seeks non-voting, non-member status for Palestinians, and only the U.S. and Israel say “no”, and Israel says they will build yet MORE ILLEGAL “settlements” on the West Bank which IS Arab land, and Britain gave to the monarchy when forming “Jordan” from “Trans-Jordan”, coincidentally in 1948,
“Semite” isn’t exclusive to Jews, it also applies to Arabs. “Zionist” applies to Jews of a particularly virulent and violent bent, especially in their extreme wing represented by Netanyahu. Likud is just “Hamas” with a yarmulke.

Yes, Ima. The dead Arab women and children were all suicide bombers and rocket launchers, assassinated with pinpoint perfect surgical strikes.
