The Israel-Palestine Conflict Mk.III

What part of Hamas operates in people's homes dont you understand? are you stupid?

Equally if Hamas really wanted to reduce the amount of civilian deaths in Gaza, they would not hide their weapons in civilian areas, but then that would not help them create the narrative they hoping to create.

Hey guys, check this:
On every note you have write 'FREE PALESTINE' on it. The money will go around and hopefully the more people who do it the more people will see it on their notes. Spread the message like wildfire!!! #freepalestine

So what?Terrorists take hostages.Does'nt mean you can kill the hostages.Its morally wrong.I'm not stupid.Just human.

That last post of yours was just absurd.Using Sympathy to stop bombings?People and children are dying you know.And getting injured from an explosion aint like a cut.People lose limbs.

The reason so many civilians are dying is because Hamas are using them as human shields!

This makes me so sad. Human shields you say? It's a ghetto for starters and one of the most populated areas on Earth. They have no where to hide. You should be sad.

So you're telling me that because it's "one of the most populated areas on Earth" and "They have no where to hide" is a valid excuse for forcing civilians onto rooftops so that Israel would bomb the civilians. Israel is trying to minimise civilian casualties in Gaza, Hamas is trying to maximise them to make Israel seem the bad guy.

Completely agree!

Gaza started firing rockets first. Now, it can't stand that it's losing against Israel, once Israel has started retaliating. Not to mention, even Obama (who, let's face it, hasn't been very 'pro Israel') stated that Israel has the right to defend itself.

Israel is getting rid of an evil that the 'international community' and the other Arab states don't have the balls to.

Why has no Arab state in proximity to Gaza opened its borders for refugees as of the time when the conflict began? Why hasn't there been any military aid sent to help out Gaza? Sure, people can 'condemn' the actions, but other than that, the fact is even Arab states supporting Palestine want Hamas out.

So you're telling me that because it's "one of the most populated areas on Earth" and "They have no where to hide" is a valid excuse for forcing civilians onto rooftops so that Israel would bomb the civilians. Israel is trying to minimise civilian casualties in Gaza, Hamas is trying to maximise them to make Israel seem the bad guy.

Without Hamas doing its dirty work (firing rockets that kill no one) the Israelis would have the nerve to expand their Jewish state illegally.

Wow, so you mean the children and women killed were forced by Hamas to die?

They're idiots. Israel has been found to lie numerous times. Just search about the Samouni family massacre back in 2008/09. See for yourself. Also the UN caught them lying about the school they dropped white phosphorus on, when they justified killing people using it as shelter by claiming hamas stashes rockets there. It just requires a few minutes.

The Palestinians were always losing against the Israelis. From day one. How could they stand a chance against the greatest recipient of American military aid?

Wow, so you mean the children and women killed were forced by Hamas to die?

I disagree that Hamas's aim is to prevent the expansion of the Jewish state illegally. That might be it, partly. If you've read their charter, they call for the destruction of Israel and jews. The reason why their rockets kill no one, is because they can't afford better ones. They fire rockets which may or may not hit Israel, which may or may not hit their own. They also brainwash their young, which if you youtube Hamas children's tv, you will find. They're disgusting.

Ultimately, they're terrorists which have yet to come knocking on your door. Just because right now they keep their terrorists acts within the Middle East, it's easy to sympathize with them. I wonder what'll happen when they pull something similar to 9/11 in Europe or the US again, whether the world will still call them freedom fighters and martyrs. They won't yet, though. Right now their 'game' is to be seen as innocent victims of the evil zionist Israelis. And they're selling it really well.

As for your other points, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree there. I believe that no other state wants Hamas to gain power, as they're extremists and a terrorist organization. This is primarily why no other Arab state has intervened, not because of fear of what the US will do, especially now under the Obama administration which is less than Israel friendly.

When is day one? the conflict until 1988 was always a regional Arab-Israeli conflict. Only in the 70s did the media start loosely using the term "Palestinian people" and only in 1988 the idea of establishing a state in the West Bank and Gaza came about. Prior to that it was a regional war, and these people were Jordanians and Egyptians.

Oh please, don't even bother with the aid excuse. The U.S. government gives the Palestinian Authority $500 million a year. Moreover, the Palestinians have received 25 times more aid per capita than what the U.S. spent on rebuilding Europe after WWII (the Marshall Plan). They are the biggest welfare parasites on planet earth.
