There are various areas of agriculture in the region and Hamas has designated zones where they could easily station their rockets however they chose to harbour them in schools, UN hospitals and very densely populated areas.

I must say the support people like you give to Hamas begs the question- who's side are you really on in the fight against terrorism? I can't help but think you would aide them


Where did I once state that I support Hamas?

I'm not on any "side". That's childish playground nonsense. Clearly, you've picked yours. "Fight against terrorism" is a meaningless statement, given that you can't fight against a tactic.

"They chose to harbour them in schools, UN hospitals and very densely populated areas". Can you support this assertion with a credible peer-reviewed academic source?

An overwhelming amount of evidence illuminates who the aggressor is in this conflict.

Not liberal as I'd like it to be, but more liberal than many of its neighbours.

You can be gay in Israel without being put to death.

What, exactly, does this have to do with Islam other than the fact that Hamas are using it to justify attacking Israel? Israel dislike Arabs as a whole, seemingly no matter their religion.


Oh Yes, Mohammed never had any conquests for land and power

LOL The hypocrisy of these Muslims is too much.

I'm not denying that.

All I'm asking, because you posted that figure 30,000 rockets, is where is the data for the rockets/shells fired by Israel?

Why don't they publicize that figure? In fact, if you wanted to be a neutral (are you a neutral?), then you would post both figures - the rockets fired by Israel and Palestinians, shouldn't you?



Irrelevant to the discussion but good on you.


I am neutral, I said I don't have the figures. Down to a mixture of laziness and probability of them not being published till after the conflict is over. Its worth noting that 30 000 missiles were fired BEFORE the most recent outbreak of conflict, not during. So actually, I don't have figures for either side on the ammunition expenditure of the current conflict. But they will be published at some point.

Indeed.

Israel withdraws from Gaza.

Hamas respond with rockets.

No. No IDF soldier is forced to kill a civilian. They do so under their own will, or by accident.

the conflict is caused by zionists, islam is a zionists worst enemy,.thats another issue in itself. Israel took land that didnt belong to them and claimed it as their own, hamas is just a bullcrap excuse to enable this whole conflict to continue. 'seemingly' trust me nothing is ever as it seems, espesh with media which controls the information you have access to. The israeli zionists have a hatred for muslims, most of the arab population is muslim, the few that arent wont matter to them, they are 'colatteral damage'.

Not really. About 1,500 people have died in Gaza out of 1.5 million. From a statistical point of view that is negligible.


Carry on for a little longer and it will become the norm. Nearly half of Gaza's population is under 14.

The point of the statistic (and the one about infant mortality rates) is that people seem to think of Gaza as an "open prison" where no food is getting in and no medicines. This would leave people starving and dying in the streets en masse. The reality is not like that at all.


Is it not? Do prisoners not get food and medicine reluctantly?

When did Israel "withdraw from Gaza"? They clearly haven't!

No, better than Iran. Still not at an acceptable level, but neither do I claim that we and the USA (especially the USA) are perfect liberals.

Okay fair enough, but the former does not engage in any wars even when threatened with sanctions ect.

Dude, they are much worse off in Gaza you know how many people died in their homes?

Do you think Hamas can do anything is wants it is the under dog here and what if I told you hamas would agree to a cease fire if the blockade on Gaza was lifted.


Right now it sucks to be in Gaza. No argument there. But are they really trying to kill people? Look at the destruction wrought on Syria when that went down recently - just opened up without any regard whatsoever as who was there, and the number of people killed was a hundred times what it is in Gaza. And where were all the trouble-makers then? All trying to somehow blame the "West" rather than just be realistic - that people are getting killed when there's conflict, and it's not "worse" when it's Israel doing it.

And when there is no war, the laws of the PA notwithstanding, you're so much better off in Gaza than Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi, Iraq or Iran.

Let's try this another way:

How many shells/missiles were fired by Israel on Gaza prior to the start of this conflict? (You have said that they publish after the conflict so I'm asking you for the last updated figures)...

Oh, and judging by what I have seen in the Israel/Palestine megathread, you are most definitely not as you claim, "a neutral"...

That wasn't a withdrawal. It was a redeployment of the IDF to Gaza's borders.

No idea, if you could quote me the figures I would be grateful because I don't actually know. They will be there, but probably hidden somewhere (proganda purposes obviously). An educated guess would be that Israel fires more artillery shells and bullets (certainly more bullets) whilst Hamas fires more mortar rounds and rockets.

And im more pro Israel, than pro Hamas, but this has been explained. Im certainly not pro killing civilians or anti Palestine.

This does not mean I wont be critical of Israel.

If you're referring to the Sabra and Shatilla massacre, its Christian Lebanese militias who did that, as revenge for the killing of PM Gamayel. Sharon had nothing to do with that, and its hypocritical that people still blame him for a case of Christians killing Muslims.


Let's not forget that the palestinain scum invaded Lebanon and slaughtered Christians there. They sparked off the civil war which killed 100,000+

Scum.
