By murdering unarmed children on a beach? So how exactly is israel better than the terrorists attacking them?
As I stated in the other thread on this, israel and the palestinians are equally to blame for this mess. One oppresses the other and occupies their land and submits them to inhuman conditions, the other attempts to kill innocent people in terrorist attacks. Basically, two sides of a very evil coin.
Yes, Hamas only acts in self defense. sending a 5-man "commando" unit into Israel, armed to the teeth (and gets blown to kingdom come), and digging a tunnel into Israeli territory (this time 13 men get blown to bits) are all intended to protect poor Gazans.One is acting, israel , and the other , the palestinians, is reacting.

No, that's BS. Lets not pretend that either side is innocent. The wackadoodle jihadis would like nothing better than to kill israelis, regardless of what israel does or doesn't do.
As I said, two sides of an evil coin, except that one side is much better armed and equipped than the other.
If the US was to invade Mexico the US government would have no right to confiscate private properties owned by mexicans."It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonialization, or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands."

Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2006, and closes the border every time there is a hostile act by Hamas. (which is...all the time)Lets not ignore the fact that they live under occupation and oppression, and they're using whatever means they have available to retaliate. There is no innocent side in this.

there are exactly 0 israeli soldiers in Gaza today. 404 occupation not found.

by your logic, South Korea is occupying and oppressing North Korea too.No need of soldiers inside Gaza since they control all things outside this area, among others the products delivered inside Gaza, for the record here the products that are not allowed to enter the city , the list is in french, use google translate :

the state of Israel and the Hamas organization are at war! of course Israel won't supply it's enemy with materials it needs to fight them!
not chocolate, silly. metals, pipes, fertilizers - materials used to make Qassam rockets and explosives.

the same leadership that hoards millions of dollars instead of investing in infrastructure in gaza, the same leadership that perpetuates poverty in order to squeeze more aid from europe and use the resources to produce weapons and dig terrorism tunnels.

they have all that, the UN builds everything for them. and there is also education, agriculture, industry, healthcare - all those things are not funded by Hamas. well maybe education - they brainwash their kids to hate jews.Wich infrastructures since they cant get what they need in concrete, are you silly, and no metals, how do you reinforce the concrete, no asphalt, how do you pave the roads ?
You staunch support of israel is definitly reducing your IQ....
Oh, so if I surround your house and strictly control what and who can come in and out, including what food or medical supplies come in and out, when they come in and out, how much etc, that would be perfectly acceptable to you? That is occupation, pure and simple.
but that HAS happened - 3 teens were murdered by 2 Hamas activists a month ago.All I can say is that if this was 4 Jewish Kids on the Israel side of the border who got gunned down by Hamas. There would be posts all over the place calling for the destruction of something...
by your logic, South Korea is occupying and oppressing North Korea too.
"On May 20, 2010,...Seoul would cut all trade with North Korea as part of measures primarily aimed at striking back at North Korea diplomatically and financially."

I don't trust either side as far as I can throw them. Both contribute to the issues and bear equal responsibility.

Gaza has 3 borders: Israel (from the north to the east), Egypt (south) and the ocean (Israeli territorial waters). it doesn't take a genius to see why 2 borders with israel would be closed, bot what about the Egyptian border? no one talks about the egyptian blockade of Gaza, israel is just an easier target.

it's not an analogy, it was to show that his logic was broken. obviously S.Korea does not oppress N.Korea.Worst analogy ever. North Korea has the ability to level South Korea if they did any shit and they would. Also, the Palestine is split into the West Bank and Gaza strip; they don't even get a contiguous country. Most of Palestine is enclosed and Israel controls their borders and the small tiny part of the west bank that has access to the Ocean. They control all trade that gets in or out. North Korea has control of it's borders/waters.
key words in your quote: "addressing a meeting of militants from the extreme right-wing".
those people aren't in power in Israel. just like the religious right isn't calling the shots in the USA.
i don't have any qualms with the Palestinian people, only their terrorist leadership in Gaza.
the same leadership that hoards millions of dollars instead of investing in infrastructure in gaza, the same leadership that perpetuates poverty in order to squeeze more aid from europe and use the resources to produce weapons and dig terrorism tunnels.
i even doubt Ismail Hanniya is in gaza at the moment, and wisely so, if he shows is head in broad daylight he would get a drone missile to the head before he could say "allah akhbar".
i have never seen you condemn their actions, only attack israel, are you a terrorist sympathizer?
