Nov 2012

Thugs who bomb, shoot, and abuse an occupied people into oblivion get what they deserve when their victims lob some explosives their way.

And just how do you see this as defence? teddy51 Nov 2012 #1
Still no condemnation of Hamas. Where were you the past year.... shira Nov 2012 #14
You defenders of Israel are good at throwing smoke screens up, teddy51 Nov 2012 #22
And....still no condemnation. shira Nov 2012 #23
I suspect you two are going to stay angry and frustrated for a long, long time to come. eom leveymg Nov 2012 #29
"we have no choice" subsuelo Nov 2012 #72
Defending against terrorism isn't terrorism... shira Nov 2012 #122
That is the same logic as Hamas, of course subsuelo Nov 2012 #150
So in response to Hamas' rockets, Israel should.......? shira Nov 2012 #160
Do you justify using the same logic as Hamas? n/t subsuelo Nov 2012 #197
Hamas doesn't defend. Israel's existence is the problem to them. shira Nov 2012 #198
Again, you use the same logic as Hamas subsuelo Nov 2012 #201
And you're arguing Israel has no choice but to enjoy those rockets... shira Nov 2012 #205
Wrong. The one and only argument I have made here ... subsuelo Nov 2012 #208
Wrong. You're against Israel's operation to attack Hamas. shira Nov 2012 #210
No, not wrong. It is the same logic as Hamas subsuelo Nov 2012 #213
It isn't attempted mass murder. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #77
Can you possibly believe what you've typed here? oberliner Nov 2012 #92
There never WASN'T a lockdown. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #94
Of course it is! They're trying to kill as many as possible each time... shira Nov 2012 #123
In addition, JoDog Nov 2012 #136
you mean the PLO our government supports and funds the one that will soon azurnoir Nov 2012 #155
Rubbish...Let's get things into proportion...... kayecy Nov 2012 #138
Without Iron Dome and all the bunkers, thousands of Israelis would be dead.... shira Nov 2012 #162
Now you really are getting in a tizz........... kayecy Nov 2012 #232
Without bunkers, early warning, iron dome there would be far more Israeli deaths... shira Nov 2012 #233
You are sorry that Hamas has not killed as many civilians as Israel has? ....... kayecy Nov 2012 #238
Gilad Sharon(the true voice of Bibi's government)is calling for mass murder, and Bibi backs him Ken Burch Nov 2012 #164
Bibi and Barak back him? Another bloodthirsty charge... shira Nov 2012 #231
Yes, the missile attacks are bad intaglio Nov 2012 #157
It is attempted mass murder & if not for Iron Dome, alarm systems, bunkers.... shira Nov 2012 #163
Interesting that you choose to dehumanise the Palestinians intaglio Nov 2012 #187
Interesting you choose to make all Palestinians one with Hamas.... shira Nov 2012 #192
I'm sure you believe that n/t intaglio Nov 2012 #194
I often take CthulhusEvilCousin Nov 2012 #106
I condemn both sides. lalalu Nov 2012 #2
Yeah, the victims who defend themselves are just as guilty as the terrorists. Fozzledick Nov 2012 #4
Both sides play the victim part well. lalalu Nov 2012 #11
One side targets civilians, the other targets weapons aimed at their civilians. Fozzledick Nov 2012 #12
One side believes they were promised land because of the Bible. lalalu Nov 2012 #13
I'm with you and sick of the whole thing Tumbulu Nov 2012 #20
So Israel is as bad as Hamas. Thanks for that horrendous piece of moral equivalence. shira Nov 2012 #27
You know the perception to the public Tumbulu Nov 2012 #49
Exterminate them? oberliner Nov 2012 #63
Sorry that is the impression Tumbulu Nov 2012 #70
Where do you live? oberliner Nov 2012 #73
Northern CA Tumbulu Nov 2012 #74
Thanks for sharing your perspective oberliner Nov 2012 #76
The peoiple of Gaza are powerless AGAINST Hamas. They live at Hamas' mercy Ken Burch Nov 2012 #81
None of that is true oberliner Nov 2012 #87
If you were a Gazan, you'd see resistance to Hamas as suicidal and pointless Ken Burch Nov 2012 #91
That's what people use to say about Libya oberliner Nov 2012 #95
This has nothing in common with that. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #96
One point here JoDog Nov 2012 #137
Well then what is this about then? Tumbulu Nov 2012 #217
Two of us condemned the rocket attacks in this very thread. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #80
When pressed, you write a one sentence condemnation... shira Nov 2012 #124
I never supported Hamas. It's not like the only positions on them are support or denunciation Ken Burch Nov 2012 #159
So help me understand that when you ignore or deny Hamas' true character.... shira Nov 2012 #167
I don't ignore it...I just don't think it's more important than everything else. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #169
Israel targets civilians too, and Cast Lead proved that. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #79
Actually the exceptionally low ratio of civilian to combatant deaths proves just the opposite. Fozzledick Nov 2012 #84
hang on... Shaktimaan Nov 2012 #89
Moral equivalency garbage.... shira Nov 2012 #125
It is difficult to avoid hitting civilians JoDog Nov 2012 #139
The Israelies are NOT innocent victims Ken Burch Nov 2012 #78
So the Israelis are guilty of defending themselves from Hamas' terrorist attacks. Fozzledick Nov 2012 #83
evidence? Shaktimaan Nov 2012 #90
Israeli victims of rockets are innocents. shira Nov 2012 #126
No, no, no...I never said Palestinians were MORE human Ken Burch Nov 2012 #158
You focus far more on Palestinian victimhood than Israelis... shira Nov 2012 #168
Everyone already knows about Israeli victimhood. Israeli victimhood is always covered in the MSM Ken Burch Nov 2012 #170
I have seen condemnation, and that Hamas started this particular conflict, at least in the U.S. still_one Nov 2012 #3
Not by the Israel-can-do-no-right crowd, you haven't. No condemnation from them at all. shira Nov 2012 #31
Bullshit Ken Burch Nov 2012 #82
Not really. You mumble that Hamas is wrong and then rant exclusively... shira Nov 2012 #114
Personally I don't care atreides1 Nov 2012 #152
He's a nutcase. He can't be ridiculed and condemned enough. n/t shira Nov 2012 #171
Condeming Hamas is not more important than everything else in this situation. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #161
Actually, it is. If instead of rockets, their focus were to build up Gaza peacefully... shira Nov 2012 #172
You, for some reason, take the Israeli government at its word Ken Burch Nov 2012 #176
If Israel and the IDF hate Palestinians so much.... shira Nov 2012 #184
Terror? ann--- Nov 2012 #5
So you blame Israel for the effects of Hamas' policies. Fozzledick Nov 2012 #8
No, I blame ann--- Nov 2012 #18
Thanks for this-I'm borrowing for a reply... Boxerfan Nov 2012 #9
I feel the same way ann--- Nov 2012 #17
Propaganda. No condemnation of Hamas. Thanks! n/t shira Nov 2012 #15

Because gosh Palestinians could have exported their produce right? thanx for 7 yr old link azurnoir Nov 2012 #154
It's hard for you to condemn Hamas for anything specific, isn't it? shira Nov 2012 #173
what are you babbling on about? the comment was about Palestinians in 2005 not Hamas today azurnoir Nov 2012 #183
Yeah, Palestinians like Hamas destroying the greenhouses back then... shira Nov 2012 #185
lol nice try but your comment is quite revealing azurnoir Nov 2012 #186
The Rafah Gate leads to 85 million people. Sounds like a market to me. aquart Nov 2012 #229
Isn't that funny? Zero condemnation of Egypt from our fellow peace activists. shira Nov 2012 #235
You know why. I know why. aquart Nov 2012 #237

it's Persig's statement about the irrationality of religious beliefs... mike_c Nov 2012 #66
So Israeli women & children had those rockets coming to them? shira Nov 2012 #16
as I said, the sympathy-for-Israel card has little currency here.... mike_c Nov 2012 #67
But if you have sympathy for Palestinians.... shira Nov 2012 #133
