Topic: Death Toll Climbs As Israel Bombards Gaza - page 3. (Read 2897 times)

This article sounds like what Israel is doing is a bad thing. If this were any other country who was fighting back against the rockets that have been launched at them for over a week now. We would be cheering them on. But because it's Israel this is a bad thing? Maybe I'm reading this wrong. But that is what it sounds like to me

Here is a joke for you :
A Muslim dies and goes to "heaven." An "angel" approaches the Muslim and says behind this door are your 72 virgins, enjoy. Excited, the Muslim rushes to open the door and sees 72 ugly, fat MEN! The Muslim runs out to complain to the Angel, hey where are my virgins?! The Angel says, they are virgins, and by the way, you're in Hell!!!

I just think its insane that anyone would commit jihad suicide and seriously think 72 "virgins" await them in heaven. And think about the perspective of the virgins, is that their heaven??? Talk about a fairy tale!

I doubt Israel is targeting civilians on purpose. Unfortunately, especially with airstrikes, there WILL be collateral damage. How about the Palestinians quit firing rockets at Israel. As long as they're doing that, I can't blame Israel for retaliating. If they stopped and Israel continued, then I would have a problem with that. This whole area is ready to explode, unfortunately. If those rockets don't stop, I'd bet that Israel launches a ground invasion. That would be truly tragic and many innocents will die then as well.

The US media is confused in this case.  It's owned by the Jewish counsel, but it has leaned towards supporting everything Muslim in the last 5 years.  Guess the people up top will put their thumbs down.

The US media has lapped up the government narrative. Extremely one-sided.
Significant suffering on both sides that needs to be acknowledged.

So, who is the aggressor?

Yes! It is hard to imagine, growing up under such conditions

Can you imagine living in such an area where this bombardment is a regular thing? Not just living but growing up where this is considered normal just be a complete nightmare for the non-combatants that call these places home.

It is about a lot more than the holocaust. No one should be "touching" anyone else in that manner. When you launch rockets into cities you have to kind of expect a response.

Report: Hamas Stunned By Israel’s Ass-Kicking, Expected Limited Response To Rocket Fire…





Despite fiery statements issued by Hamas spokesmen over the past 48 hours, it was obvious Tuesday night that the Islamist movement was searching for ways to rid itself of the current escalation.

Hamas feels that it has been forced into a confrontation with Israel – one that it did not want at this stage because of its increased isolation and financial crisis.

The massive Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours have surprised Hamas and other Palestinian groups. Hamas apparently expected a limited response to the recent rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns. But as the IDF intensified its strikes against Hamas targets – including the homes of some of its top commanders – it became clear to the movement’s leaders that Israel means business.

On Tuesday night, Hamas spokesmen were sending distress signals to various parties. The organization is concerned that if the IDF operation continues for another few days, the movement will pay a very heavy price – one that could even bring about an end to Hamas’s rule over the Gaza Strip.

Hamas accused Israel of “crossing all the redlines” by bombing the homes of its military commanders. This shows that Hamas did not expect Israel to take such a drastic move. Less than 24 hours after the beginning of the IDF offensive, Hamas talked about the need to return to the truce that was reached with Israel in 2012.

On Tuesday night, Hamas and other Palestinian groups appealed to Egypt and Arab countries to intervene to stop the IDF operation. Given Hamas’s bad relations with the Egyptian authorities, it’s unlikely that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi would rush to save the movement that is openly aligned with his enemy, the Muslim Brotherhood.

peace for the palestinians is bending over and letting israel do whatever it wants with you.. while the U.S. holds their hands.

Don't talk bullshit, it really isn't all that hard to not shoot at someone.

What it shows is just how little both sides really care about peace when they constantly talk about it on television.

I hope Israel kills the Hamas and Jihad terrorists without harming civilians,but obviously thats not going to happen as every war takes innocent lives.

I feel bad about every victim of crime, but i hate the most when there are kids included in those stats: "has climbed to at least 84, including a number of children". Thats just sick.
