Bad Israel BAD!



Now tell me you would not defend yourself should someone start trying to constantly drop rockets on your head and those of your family.

well if we are going to jump into other people's shoes you can take the role of somebody living in Gaza, and having to deal with having your territories completely barricated, not to mention the amount of land taken away in the past 50 years. people get pissed... i'm not condoning Hamas' attacks on Israel, only trying to empathize with them. Both sides are wrong in my opinion but Israel is taking this way overboard. Had they lifted the barriers on Hamas after signing the cease-fire then i don't think this mess would have happened. Conclusion is - Hamas sucks and Israel sucks...

I'm not a jew, from israel or surport it.

But , i stick by them 100% on this. if Canada fired missles into US , your telling me they would not fight back??

what you must remember is that israel just wants peace nothing more, and for them who say israel just want war and so on.. your mad! no one wants war!

Also alot of people say its not the cilivans fault, well hamas has been eleceted by the people , they are the goverment and there actions speak for majorty of people , who voted them into power..

on the other hand children,women and "REAL" innocent people should not be allowed to be killed , israel has very advance technolgy and should use it carefully.

What really gets me is that there are now what 20 plus posts on all this with the majority of them against Israel, so your post really doesn't balance anything for it just adds to the other large numbers.

When I look for posts from all of you towards Darfur and other atrocious it might be one or two, but it is basically zero for most.

So my question is what gets you going when 600 are killed, and their leadership invites the confrontation, and 2 million dead doesn’t deserve a one line post form any of you.

War is hell, but you all do not put anything into perspective and are as bad as Fox news and other agencies that pick and choose with little regard for what you all should really be screaming about.

Ok so you hate Jews, we get it, big deal (or maybe just untamed Jews) just say it in a one liner and save yourself a lot of unneeded effort.

Is Israel any different than Gaza strip? They are surrounded by countries that could wipe them and would wipe them if Israel wasn’t as strong as they are. Also, where do 5 million Jews go once they “give back” the land that you all feel is not there’s. Since Jews came from Egypt, should Egypt give them land to go to? Should all the countries around Israel give up big chunks of their land where oil is? I say this because I guess you all assume the Palatines’ land was only in the borders of Israel…well it was not, and so maybe each country around Israel should give back a third or more of their lands too.

This is why just a simple post from you all of “I hate Jews” and then all of you can star the crap out of it in agreement and add your own post of hatred, keeping this all to just one topic.

Personally I think we "The U.S.A" should stay out of this, they've been at each others throats for eons, I say let them be. Why do we have to stick our noses in every darn conflict. I am neither for no against, but enough is enough let them settle their own differences.

I'm disappointed. The OP posted this thread specifically NOT to discriminate against Jews, but that's just what about half of you did.

Why did you go do that? We're not talking about your sister-in-law or Jews at all. Get a grip.

Can any of you honestly say that you would not be upset if the United Nations ripped your home country from you and gave it to someone else? Can any of you honestly say that you would not be upset if this new government sponsored the destruction of your homes and towns and forced you to what essentially amount to two large refugee camps in Gaza and the West Bank, and consistently cut off your access to vital resources?

War between Israel and Palestine is necessary for the rest of the world. The U.S. Government in co-operation with Britain and France saw to that following the end of WWI when the Allied forces double-crossed both sides during the war by taking financial backing from Jewish bankers in exchange for the land they now posess and promising the land to Arabs if they helped fight Germans in that region.

Which has more value?

10s of millions of dollars, in their time (equal to billions today), or the lives of the honored dead who spilled their own blood so that they could finally and at long last have their own nation.

To answer your questions... It doesn't matter which side I were on. I would kill the other indescriminately with whatever means available to me.

The reason for the appearant support for Israel over Palestine is our (meaning the USA, Britain, the UN) desire to have someone in the Middle-Eastern region who will be our ally. The UN and the remaining civilized world has been at odds with the unstable views of every Arab nation in the region. Even at the turn of the 18th/19th century, the UN new we would need an ally in the Middle-East. That is why they gave the Jews that particular territory. The UN realized that as long as hatred existed between Jews and Arabs the UN could control Israel. Without UN and US support, Israel would have fallen decades ago. This is why Palestinians are demonized as terrorists.

If I were a Palestinian I would take my war to the highest level. Israel has been lucky so far. I would have kid-napped Israeli children, strapped TNT to them and then showed then the way home. On the flip side Palestinians have also been lucky so far. If I were Israeli, I would have enclosed Palestinans in concentration camps with walls and fences and then regulated their ability to reproduce. But since I am an American, I sit back and watch as mine and other UN nations condemn what's going on; all the while knowing that it was we, or at least our governments, who made this happen.

Israelis aren't stealing the land. They bought it from con-men - the UN, who had no rights to selling it.
Palestinians aren't stealing it either. They too bought it from con-men - the UN, who had no rights to selling it.

It's like putting one gallon of water and one gallon of oil in a one gallon container and expecting them to share.

Not!

Very good point.

I have a question to all of this though. When Israel was created by the UN Jordan was also created. Jordan was the Palestine state and was by far much luckier in they got the oil and Israel did not.

So if Jordan was created as the Palestine state why are Muslin Palestinians living in the Jewish state and not all of them in Jordan? The maps laid out that show the change in that area from muslins to Jews really doesn’t take into account Jordan’s roll in all this.

I'm sick of the Anti-Israel Sentiment in the news and here on ATS and it never ceases to amaze me how many ATSers fall for everything they here in the MSM.

Also, I don't know what your talking about. All over ATS is Anti-Israel Sentiment.
