Thanks Scootaloo. Bohunk68 Nov 2012 #56
Another sanctimonious, self-righteous know-nothing anti-Semite garthranzz Nov 2012 #57

Yesterday, you were outraged at my characterization of overreaction and use of excessive force leveymg Nov 2012 #58
I was astounded by your comparison of Qassam III's to model rockets, levey Scootaloo Nov 2012 #67
It's more accurate to compare Quassams to model rockets than to call them "missiles" leveymg Nov 2012 #69
The point is, you don't need to downplay the threat of those rockets to make your point Scootaloo Nov 2012 #73
Exactly! Raksha Nov 2012 #61
Except for the part with the rockets being launched at Israel from Gaza oberliner Nov 2012 #81
Do you think blowing up Palestinians is a good solution to the problem? Scootaloo Nov 2012 #84
No oberliner Nov 2012 #85

Israel is not going away and I expect them to defend their people/country 100% Sunlei Nov 2012 #22
Do the Palestinians have the right to defend their people and land 100%? nt Bodhi BloodWave Nov 2012 #29
The Apartheid Israeli official position is that the Palestinians don't have the right PerceptionManagement Nov 2012 #60

Isn't that an oxymoron? eyl Nov 2012 #40
Welcome to DU. I find something you said objectionable... Violet_Crumble Nov 2012 #31
In the view of some there is a moral equivalency between the dead murderer and his dead victim. wellspring Nov 2012 #44
Do you want to back up and ask the question I asked you? Violet_Crumble Nov 2012 #46
Do you think blowing up Palestinians is a good solution to the problem? Scootaloo Nov 2012 #25

good news! if not for The Iron Dome system would be so much worse. Sunlei Nov 2012 #9
So much worse? How much worse can it get when children have been killed? Violet_Crumble Nov 2012 #13
Only Israeli's are people. That's why even though they started this round of violence by killing a Puregonzo1188 Nov 2012 #17

As we all know, the Palis never tell a lie. wellspring Nov 2012 #54
I don't think they want a ground war so they will try for a cease-fire. Good luck to them all! hrmjustin Nov 2012 #12
Then why did they break the ceasefire...AGAIN? Puregonzo1188 Nov 2012 #16
That is a great question to which I have no answer. hrmjustin Nov 2012 #18
Me neither. The rockets are unjustified, but the Israelis know every time they pull this shit Hamas Puregonzo1188 Nov 2012 #19
Yes that is it . King_David Nov 2012 #34
Then explain why Hamas can hold up their end of the bargain and Israel keeps breaking the ceasefire? Puregonzo1188 Nov 2012 #70
Ha ha King_David Nov 2012 #83
