Middle East Conflict

[halfcenturyup]

Is this a problem with religion OR a problem with those who use religion to justify their horrific actions? Besides, palestinians fight is not a religious one, is it?

Forgive me if I have read your post wrong.

Understand what you are trying to say, but it's a bit like the gun control argument in the US.

No bad guns/ religions, only people who use guns/ religions badly.

I suppose, though, if you take away all guns/ religions people will just invent something else to do what they want because all people are basically cunts. So we are where we are.

What Hamas did was disgusting. What Israel are doing in revenge, its unbelievably disgusting. Thousands upon thousands of innocent people being killed by their regime and backed by an Israeli population hungry for blood.

Apart from the complete lack of humanity on display by the Israeli government there also appears to be a complete lack of intelligence too.
With each passing day more Palestinians are supporting Hamas. Even if Israel manage to wipe them out there will now be thousands of young men and women, seriously embittered, who will become the 'terrorists' of the future.

It's time journalists started asking the awkward questions like "What are the boundaries of Israel?" "Where should they be?", and "What should happen to the Palestinians within those borders?"

They're fighting a war. You might have noticed that wars tend to be somewhat inhumane. Care to give an example of a humane one?

And I'd say their actions maybe have a sound logic. The worse it gets, the more the pressure to stop and therefore the more need for a longer-term solution involving the international community, which takes some responsibility for Gaza and it's future.

It's not revenge, it's just an excuse to rob the land.

Rather later than I thought but the tipping point is being reached, the loons in charge in Israel are not helping themselves
