Israel and Hamas talk terms.
Man 1: We demand that Hamas be disarmed.
Man 2: Israel has killed 500 times more of us than we've killed of them. Shouldn't they disarm?
Man 1: That'd ruin our kill ratio.
Not only that Harley, but Hamas are the ones that break the truce EVERY single time! Hamas can end the fighting now by ending their aggression towards Israel.
Ted, if you spend your time responding to people like PianoGuy24 (and Remnant, which I haven’t seen here before), you’ll have no time for anything else.
I do respond myself, sometimes, but then I’m retired, and the disgust that I experience at the perverted rationalizations I encounter probably makes my heart work a little faster.
LEt’s see – the blockade was imposed in an attempt to prevent more rockets from getting into the country so now it is blamed for the rocket attacks? Poor logic.
The entire history of rockets from Gaza, Lebanon, or elsewhere into Israe equal the actual damage a single F-19 or artillery barrage from Israel has caused in that prison camp called Gaza.
The blockade, seizure of lands, and destruction of the Palestinian economy by Israel started this “whole thing”, a long time ago.
Interesting that the folks here in the U.S. who are all against giving up guns, want all Arab Palestinians to give up theirs, while Israel maintains the largest arms supply in the Middle East, and the only nuclear weapons. Jews in Europe WERE victims of the holocaust. Israel uses that, totally falsely, as rationale to declare themselves still “victims”. It’s like the grandson of a man who had his bike stolen as a youth, still declaring third generation separated from that crime, HE is the victim, still. (And he himself is now a bicycle thief…)
Late to comment, but I can’t let Pianoguy24’s assertion that “Hamas are the ones that break the truce EVERY single time”.
See http://antiwar.com/blog/2014/02/06/the-truth-about-cease-fire-violations-between-israel-and-gaza/ showing the OPPOSITE. Israel breaks cease-fires in the overwhelming majority of cases.

Don’t let the facts influence public opinion in the U.S..

The problem, Ted, is the minute Israel disarms they’re dead. If Hamas disarms, there will be peace. But, you know that, don’t you.

Didn’t they swap 1000 to 1 on the last prisoner exchange?

Sorry, but this assertion is even more boring than it is asinine.
