Briefly, Hamas must agree to stop the rocket fire. In return, Israel must lift the siege of Gaza. It is imperative that the economic blockade end.
Losing nothing? They are in an absolute panic over the FAA decision to ban flights to Israel over one rocket that landed within a mile of Ben Gurion airport.
I think this is blatant moral relativism. If I only kill 1 innocent person when I could easily have killed 50 should be taken as a sign of my moral rectitude?
No other country in this modern era dishes out the punishment Israel dishes out to its Palestinian citizens and subjects. The world has move on from settler colonialism. Israel and its US allies don’t seem to have gotten the message.
How do you stop a terrorist organization from permanently launching rockets into Israel when their stated mission is to retake the land that is now the state of Israel, i.e., the only thing that is going to stop Hamas is if Israel ceases to exist?
So what if they lose public support, i.e., the world in modern times has always been prejudiced towards Israel thanks to leftist policies/ideologies that have infiltrated many institutions in the West including the U.N.?
Bull, there are far worse countries with far worse track records, yet the U.N. focuses on Israel because it is convenient to do so (let’s not forget the Middle Eastern Bloc which has a lot of clout in the U.N.).
This is it IMHO too.
I did.
This is an admission they have done it in the past
What you are saying is that there really is no kind of a response Israel can make that is not “targeting of children”. While you condemn Hamas’ actions, Israel cannot respond because of the density of people in Gaza. It is not a war crime to target your enemies weapons.
So you didn’t want to answer my other questions, how about a different one:
If Israel relies on infanticide to exist does it deserve to exist?
Interesting that this question can be asked of both sides, isn’t it?
But one side’s charter calls for the death of the other. Care to guess which?
Have evidence of this? Please post.
I’m proud to be a Christian too. I want peace. But I do realize that the death of Palestinian children is on the hands of Hamas. They fired the rockets. They hide rockets near children. Hamas ended the cease-fire. Hamas does not recognize Israel’s right to exist…from their charter: “The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: ‘The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’”
“Satanic levels of slaughter”?? Do you realize that close to 2000 people were murdered/slaughtered by ISIS within a period of 48 hours just last week, and that they continue to kill, torture and ethnically cleanse the regions they conquer of all Christians? Yet where are the mass protestations/rallies around the world against the outrageous evils perpetrated by this lslamic group? Where is the outrage??? Where is the E.U, U.S. and /or the rest of the world? Where is the media condemning these acts of violence perpetrated by Muslim terrorists?? Where are the Muslims voicing their outrage for the innocent deaths committed by their co-religionists?? All I hear is silence.
Yet the other side is the only one engaging in mass murder. Hmm.
Hamas is an insurgent movement (thanks to Israeli policy) that uses terrorist tactics. If the Hamas charter poses and has always posed such an existential threat to Israel, why did the Israelis support and nurture Hamas when it was first founded?
That is a rethoric question , isn’ t it ?
Yes , here we have reached full agreement.
So we are to blame Israel for the state of affairs that it is currently in, i.e., Hamas bears no responsibility for the violence it’s been committing even though Israeli troops/civilians have left the Gaza strip for nigh a decade?? Are we also to assume that if Israeli policies were less stringent, terrorist groups like Hamas would not exist, i.e., groups that simply do not believe Israel has a right to exist (remember the real issue here is the fact that Palestinians were displaced from their homeland by Jews with the help of the West)? Do you also know that antisemitism or Jew hatred existed even prior to the creation of Israel, i.e., the Muslim Brotherhood along with the Grand Mufti were admirers and good friends of Hitler so much so that they fought for him? Are you aware that once the state of Israel was created, which by the way, would not have existed were it not for the collective guilt of the West over atrocities committed against the Jews in WWII, the Muslim Brotherhood fought against the new fledgling country’s right to exist? Did you know that the MB created Hamas and taught it early on to hate Jews (reading the Mein Kampf which was translated by the MB in the 30’s and entitled “My Jihad”), instituting the Hitler salute which is used to this day?
