"It is the second time Israel destroys the two-kilometer " Freedom" street, which the Palestinian National Authority opened two months ago with a fund of 400,000 U.S. dollars, the sources said"

wow, your tax dollars at work right there. collective punishment on a whole civilian population is a war crime. :thumbsdown:

where is the news reports on this? why must i get all my international news from russia and china? :\

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Israel is doing the right thing. And no, I am not Jewish.

 

[novasatori]

Israel is doing the right thing. And no, I am not Jewish.

Why is it you feel they are they doing the right thing?

 

[soccerballtux]

this justifies palestinians raping and pillaging the Israelis.

 

[EagleKeeper]

Better the funds go for recontructino that into the bank accounts of the Palestinian leadership.

This way, the US can see where the dollars go.


Now let's find out what the other side of the story is?

 

[Craig234]

Israel has a history of unjustified destruction of Palestinian infrastructure, e.g., homes.

Homes that are destroyed usually belong to a terror suspect and/or family members.

Homes are not randomly destroyed.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Homes that are destroyed usually belong to a terror suspect and/or family members.

They pay the price because they are suspected/assumed to be guilty or be kin to said suspects?

 

[EagleKeeper]

They support the terrorist. They pay the price.

Theterrorist seemto think any Israeli/Jew is fair game. Israel at least limits the scope.

To the Arabs, the family is everything. It hurts when the family is punished for their transgressions.

This may not seem fair to the Western mindset, but it is part of that area mindset.
Punishment tothe terroist is a way to Allah. punishment of the family is not a way to Allah and hurts because it is brought on by one's actions.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

So it's ok for Israelis to kill suspected terrorists and their families then using the same logic it should be ok for the Palestinians to kill and maim Israelis because they support actions against the Palestinians.....right??

well, do all Isrealis "support the actions against the Palestinians"?

 

[theeedude]

We should take 400K out of whatever money we give to Israel and give it to Palestinians to rebuild the road. Wash, rinse, repeat.

 

[Jaskalas]

Is this disputed land or firmly Palestinian? To me that makes the case and Israel needs to stay the fuck out of land they do not claim.

 

[Anarchist420]

This proves they're powerful enough to conquer their neigbors without money from AMERICAN tax payers, not all of whom consent.

Name one thing we all consent to.

 

[Anarchist420]

Well, people should at least consent to be governed by the Articles of Confederation. However, at least 97% of Americans want to be a slave, so you have a point.

Still, a majority (Zionists) has no natural right to rape, pillage, and plunder a minority (anti-zionists)

 

[Jhhnn]

That's not really true at all, no matter how much you want to believe it. Palestinian homes are routinely destroyed because they didn't have building permits. Why not? Because Israeli authorities control the permits, and won't issue them. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Israel intends to take it all, over time, so it's all "disputed". Any other questions?

Like Israel taking over Gaza.

Had the Palestinians showed up for talks when the freeze, that they requested, was in effect, progress was hoped to be made.
But they refused to show up. They claim that they want peace, yet refuse to even try for it. But they want to be rewarded for deliberate failure.

They have succeeded in this attitude for the past 50 years - why break a good streak.

 

[Freshgeardude]

someone here want to show some proof the west bank and gaza belong to the Palestinian people?


please, I want to see proof.

 

[Freshgeardude]

. nvm

Sure. Absolutely. Let's go with that, and turn a blind eye to the actions of both sides, and may the best side win.

 

[Nebor]

The reason it isn't in American mainstream media, SandEagle, is that no one here cares. If anything, all it makes me think is we should stop giving the Palestinians money if they're going to use it so carelessly.

What a crock a shit piece of reasoning.

Lets take the case of our previous President in GWB. He may have tried to be a good parent to his daughters Jena and Barb, but they both got caught smoking pot.

So by that reasoning we should tear down the white house?

Earth to Common Courtesy, collective punishment is already defined as an international war crime and your reasoning is reprehensible. Not to mention that any time a Crazed Settler party wants a piece of West Bank land Israel can never own, they displace a Palestinian family regardless if they did anything illegal or not.

Its simply why Israel is increasingly skating on thinner and thinner ice.

You're equating smoking pot to being a terrorist? I don't feel that's an apt comparison whatsoever. Terrorists are hunted around the world. Their homes are destroyed, nations that support them are crippled and their families are killed. People that do smoke pot, snort cocaine and drive drunk are elected to the presidency of the United States.

Israel isn't on thin ice because you have a majority of Americans willing to go to war in support of Israel on any given day. It would certainly enjoy more popularity than this Libya fiasco.

 

[Redfraggle]

A lot of Israeli citizens live in the US and pay US taxes. They serve in the Israeli Military in order to maintain citizenship. So maybe you want to rethink that statement and the implications that the Israelis are getting along fine without Americans.


Now, it's my personal view that Palestine has really got some serious issues and need to lay off the empty claims that they want peace, but both sides have taken some poor actions.
