Hamas holds victory rally in Gaza

i'd be insane too if i lived in gaza

In the neighbourhood of Shujai'iya, scene of the most intensive battle of the war between Israeli troops and Gaza militants, the Musabeh family was picking through the debris of their home.
"There is nothing left, we lost everything," said Naima Musabeh, 49. "Where is the good from this? We are destroyed."Her son Ali, 29, was bitter about the outcome of the conflict. "This war was for nothing. Yesterday they were giving out sweets in the street and shooting [in celebration], but I was crying when they said it was a victory."

what amazes me is the views which ppl who support israel hold on issues in europe

both Hamas and Israel are murderers ,both have no value for innocent human lives

Israels ****ed up for using ridiculous levels of firepower essentially indiscriminately

while Hamas is equally if not more in the wrong for using children and civilians as human shields even when they knew Israel would open fire anyway and for starting a war which they could never win. In the end it come down to Hamas being nut cases who are willing to forcibly throwaway huge numbers of lives for no gain.

Anybody who says Hamas didn't know how Israel was going to respond is just plain wrong.

i was more thinking that i would be insane from the humiliation of being ethincally cleansed

and forced into a small corner of my homeland.

what did i mean? don't u worry ur little head about it, all that stuff in history is just crazy stuff that doesn't mean anything people just did things because they were totally crazy and paranoid and their beliefs were baseless and founded on nothing that was actually happening

I beg to differ. Israel obviously values human life in that it has spent billions on bomb shelters for its citizens and on missile defence systems. It even shows its value for Palestinian lives with its "knock on the roof" warnings, text messages and phone calls to Palestinians to tell them to leave their homes when a bombing or ground attack is imminent.

Hamas shows their complete contempt for their own citizens by using them as human shields. Hamas uses humans to shield their rockets, whereas Israel uses rockets to shield their humans.

The distinction between their moral positions can be shown if you reverse the situations and ask what would happen if Israel used its own citizens as human shields against Hamas attack. Of course, it creates an almost Pythonesque absurdity, given Hamas would be even more likely to shoot.

But given your objections to Israel's military strategy, why don't you tell us how you would have stopped the rockets raining down? How would you have reduced civilian casualties if you were the IDF Chief of Staff?

most if not all Human rights group criticized Israel (as well as hamas btw) in this latest conflict. 2000 dead with 75% civilians

shows that Israel value for human life is at a very low standard

And come on i cant believe this human shield propaganda lie is still around.

Not "anywhere near". It was "anywhere but"
