They were playing soccer on a beach, far from any possible weapons caches.

Clearly a P&N topic; so moved. -Admin DrPizza

 

[clamum]

Certainly is terrible.

 

[pontifex]

whatever happened to human decency? all those fucking cameras in that poor woman's face.

Just a reminder that Israel purposefully starves Palestinians (euphemistically calls it 'putting them on a diet'), steals their land, and uses billions of dollars of American taxes to kill them with high tech weapons. I actually think Israel is WORSE than Apartheid South Africa, yet they are our 'ally'.

P&N

That boat they were in was once owned by a guy who is related to a guy who allegedly fired a rocket into Israel. Therefore: justified.

I won't be watching it. Ignorance is bliss.

And that's how American taxpayer money keeps flowing to Israel to kill Palestinians.

Got me these days.

Stop firing missiles at Israel, you'll stop getting bombed more or less.

About the long and short of it I guess.

The Palestinians just seem like a bit of a wind up toy to me to be honest from the radical Muslims in the whole area at the moment, considering everything going on in the region.

It's like the other ones in the area are just feeding them rockets to piss Israel off while they are doing other things regionally.

Hamas is kinda like the other groups in the area stepping back, supplying them, and watching them getting blown out and watching news feeds.

*hey guys, lets give these guys things to pop off, while we play around in the rest of Mesoptamia.*

I don't post much on P&N but if I understand currently, all borders are blocked and people are not allowed in or out. Where are these people supposed to go?

Yes, Israel is worse than S. Africa. The same point has been made by Noam Chomsky, who is himself Jewish

No where, but they keep shooting off rockets at the Israels non stop and killing their own people because of that.

All I know is if they keep tossing missiles at Israel they are going to get hurt more or less, that's just a fact.

Reality is a bitch I guess.

 

[Phokus]

All those things Israel does is just a pretext to pretend they give a shit about Palestinian lives (they don't) so they can paint themselves as the 'good guy' internationally. International politics is very important to Israel. Hamas has bottle rockets to play with that aren't accurate and hardly do any damage while Israel has US taxpayer funded high tech weapons. What a stupid comparison.

Israel renigged on a previous peace agreement and rounded up hostages. That is what started the rocket fire.

Religion < Government < Murderers

At least (most) Murderers don't have gun boats.

They did that. Which prompted them to do this. Which caused this retaliation. Causing them to do that other thing...

By golly you've definitively figured out the beginning! Have yourself a celebratory cookie.

Is kinda like bumper cars with real weapons involved...

Blame Religion.
Blame Government.

Question still stands what does HAMAS do to minimize Israeli civilian casualties?

Which relates to Israelis gunning down un-armed kids on a beach in what way, exactly?
