To be honest with you all those F-16 air strikes and ground attacks from Israeli military, including the dropping of Phosphorous, depleted Uranium and DIME onto the people of Gaza is something action packed straight to you from Warner Bros. Warner Brothers and Steven Spielberg wanted to entertain us all so they suggested through this movie that Israel pounding Gaza with air strikes and a ground invasion was the only peace talks that should be considered. And who mentioned anything about Gaza having over 1,100 casualties there is no such thing as casualties or a People of Gaza. And the main cemetery that was attacked by air strikes was simply to prove that the Palestinians buried there were faking their deaths and Israel wanted to make sure they were dead so they hit them with air strikes.

When Livini' was interviewed by journalists in Washington there was one journalist who stood out in particular without a shoe but instead with powerful words who questioned her presence in the USA. He started of by mentioning human Rights Reports and the murder of innocent civilians in Gaza he was then told to finish his question. His bold response was:
you are letting her speak for an hour, and you aren't allowing us to ask questions. Since when have you hosted terrorists here?
But the little princess kept her cool.

I never said anyone, I said the majority.

And we're up to nearly 400 children of the 1100 or so killed.. way to go, Israel.

Israel unilaterally halts fire as rockets persist - Yahoo! News


Hamas acts like children. They will only agree to cease fire under thier own unreasonable terms and they refuse to compromise at all and when they don't get thier way they lash out.

Isreal should just warn everyone ahead of time and then turn gaza into a parking lot. It's a tiny strip of land anyway and the people that live there don't want peace.

The questions are:

Why is Israel targeting civilian and civil installations in violation of the Geneva conventions?

Why is Israel using chemical weapons on a civilian population in violation of international humanitarian law, causing severe burns to innocent people?

Why is Israel bombing schools and compounds run by the UN where there were no militants or rockets?

Why is Israel intentionally targeting hospitals filled with hundreds of already wounded innocent people?

Why is Israel refusing to allow humanitarian aid to help ease the suffering they inflict on innocent people?

I was watching a clip from Israeli tv the other day while they interviewed a Palestinian doctor from Gaza whos daughters were killed by Israel while he was being interviewed. It was heartbreaking.

These are people just like you and me, with families and children and they're suffering greatly, in part because of our unwavering support of anything Israel does.. and this demonizing has got to fucking stop.

Saying they should make it into a parking lot is no better than the neocon morons who say we should nuke the middle east.

As far as Hamas "crying uncle" .. I suspect it has more to do with the transfer of power that will be taking place in a few days, and Israel wanting to get a bead on where Obama will stand on these issues as he takes office.

Hopefully this is the last time for a long time that Israel will feel like it can do whatever it wants because America will protect it regardless of what it does.

Israel has gone out of it's way to inflict as many casualties as they can, not caring one bit about the fact that the majority of them have been civilian, with around a third of them being children.

They are war criminals and should be prosecuted as such.

So you think it's a good move that hamas continue to attack civilians at random in teh face if Isreali's agreeing to cease fire? It really helps thier cause huh. They are just a peaceful people trying to defend thier land.

They aren't. Those terrorists attack from civilian areas. Once you launch an attack from a civilian area it's now military and it's fair game. That's not isreal's fault, that's the dirty terrorists fault who, like a coward, decided to go lob morters from a school.

Why is Israel using chemical weapons on a civilian population in violation of international humanitarian law, causing severe burns to innocent people?
White Phosporus is not a chemical weapon. It's an incindiary and it's used to illuminate targets. that doesn't violate anything

Why is Israel bombing schools and compounds run by the UN where there were no militants or rockets?
No militants? according to do? hamas? Of course they claim that. they want Isreal to look bad. It's thier goal. I also doubt that hamas has any sort of knowledge of all of the terrorists that operate under it's name.

Why is Israel intentionally targeting hospitals filled with hundreds of already wounded innocent people?
Same question you already asked.

Why is Israel refusing to allow humanitarian aid to help ease the suffering they inflict on innocent people?
It's war. Why would you allow aid in to help your enemy? Since Hamas blends in with the civilian population, there would be no way to ensure you weren't giving aid to the very people you are fighting against. They brought that on themselves.

Why do you totally ignore the fact that hamas is a terrorist group that lobs missles randomly into civilian areas with no military goal other than to inflict terror? I'm sorry those people brought this on themselves. They voted a terrorist group into power, they get to reap the benefits of having a terrorist government.

A colleague of mine is from Gaza. His family won the citizen lottery and came to America about 8 years ago, but still has his home in Gaza. We were sitting at a desk next to each other working on a project when his wife called. She told him that three of his family members had died when an Israeli air strike hit their home and that they can't get in touch with one of his brothers. His brother is an ambulance driver and went out to help someone when he got surrounded by the Israeli military and no one had heard from him since.

I had to console him when he received the news and it was heartbreaking. And although he isn't fond of Israel he sure as hell is not supportive of Hamas. He had not one positive thing to say about Hamas. In fact, he complained more about Hamas than he did Israel. He considers them to be a hindrance to the people of Gaza.

The people of Gaza are suffering, not because of our support of Israel, but because the actions carried out by Hamas are not in the best interest of its people. Hamas puts revenge and the destruction of Israel above the well being of its citizens. They are willing to make whatever sacrifices are necessary, including the countless deaths of their own people, for even the most minute advances against Israel.

because they are used to aid hamas

any less heartbreaking than a video of a Israeli doctor whos daughters were killed by rocket attacks?
Saying they should make it into a parking lot is no better than the neocon morons who say we should nuke the middle east.
it would be a medium sized parking lot alot of good could come from that
As far as Hamas "crying uncle" .. I suspect it has more to do with the transfer of power that will be taking place in a few days, and Israel wanting to get a bead on where Obama will stand on these issues as he takes office.
or Hamas is tired of getting it shit pushed in
Hopefully this is the last time for a long time that Israel will feel like it can do whatever it wants because America will protect it regardless of what it does.
so you don't want Israel to protect itself
Israel has gone out of it's way to inflict as many casualties as they can, not caring one bit about the fact that the majority of them have been civilian, with around a third of them being children.
If Israel wanted to inflict as much death as it could, then there would 10k+ dead not this. And these numbers, according to whom? You really take Hamas at face value?
They are war criminals and should be prosecuted as such.
that is quite an accusation from someone who doesn't know the international law of war and who falls right into the trap that hamas wants "useful idiots" to fall for

[quote=motivez;233686]The questions are:

Why is Israel targeting civilian and civil installations in violation of the Geneva conventions?
Israel has continues to violate Geneva conventions it is nothing new.

It makes us all wonder if Israel violates UN Resolutions are other countries going to take UN Resolutions seriously?

Why is Israel using chemical weapons on a civilian population in violation of international humanitarian law, causing severe burns to innocent people?
Who is there to stop them from not using chemical weapons? The one thing we can do is to stop financing Israel with these chemical weapons? And to boycott all their products and services.
U.S. Investments, A-M
Boycott Israel

We need to be part of the solution and write to our Congress Representatives demanding that we don't finance Israel's war on Gaza.


Why is Israel bombing schools and compounds run by the UN where there were no militants or rockets?
Israel has no respect for human rights. To them your guilty simply because your Palestinian. And you have something they want which is the whole piece of Palestine.

Why is Israel intentionally targeting hospitals filled with hundreds of already wounded innocent people?
That is what terrorists do. Look at history of Israel and you will see this is something from their past.

Israel call's Hamas terrorists. How many UN facilities did Hamas hit? How many times did Israel hit the UN? I believe it was 6 times. How many times can Israel get away with hitting the UN and say it is by mistake?


Why is Israel refusing to allow humanitarian aid to help ease the suffering they inflict on innocent people?
Israel motive is to kill of the Palestine population off either by air missiles and tanks or by starvation. The people of Palestine will not bow down or put up a white flag.


This all sounds like an act of "Ethnic Cleansing."

Half of the causalties are children and women. At least 1300 Palestines were casualites not including the ones buried under the ruins of what used to be there homes and the bodies that the paramedics could not reach because of Israeli ground forces being there.
