For some reason almost every thread relating to the conflict in Gaza has someone screaming out about how Jews were victims of the Holocaust. And how everyone is Anti-semetic just for speaking their mind.
Hamas, who are referred to as "terrorists" for having their people blown to pieces did not cause or take part in the Holocaust. They haven't even targetted civilians.
The Palestinian children who have been killed did not take part in the Holocaust nor did they target Israeli civilians.
So why is it, that Israel think that they are the victims when it's not their children who have been killed? It's the other way around.
If being of Palestinian decent, being against the war crimes, being against the murder and genocide, for having nothing to do with the holocaust, means i'm "anti-semetic", then I am Anti-Semetic and Proud!
Why does Israel think they are the victims? Because of the thousands of rockets fired at civilians during various cease-fires.

I suggest you look back at how the UN truck carrying aid was hit by Israel - during cease-fire.
And if you read about what happened yesterday Hamas responded to the Israel air and ground attacks during the cease-fire. That means that Israel began the attacks.
and the so called "thousands" of rockets are actually 450 since the start of the op. My source is YNet News.
"Some 450 rockets have been fired at Israel since the Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip 13 days ago, the Shin Bet security service said in an interim conclusion released Thursday night."

If that is your argument, not backed by or supported by anything not even by opinion then you obviously need to do some research yourself..
Whatever Hamas, Hizballah or Fatah or anyone does in the name of Palestine or the Palestinian people, is defence and not aggression. Their goal is to resist the occupation of their land and to resist being wiped out as a race. They are the ones who are victims of genocide
Definition of Aggression:
1. The act of initiating hostilities or invasion. (it is the Palestinians home that has been invaded by force by european jews.
2. The practice or habit of launching attacks. (Israel spends billions on tanks, military aircraft and weapons. Using excessive force on civilians)
Definition of Victim
1. One who is harmed or killed by another (evident from the death toll it is obvious who the victims are)
2. One who is harmed by or made to suffer from an act, circumstance, agency, or condition (it is the Palestinian people who are killed and injured and made to suffer by the actions of Israel)

I am not antisemetic. I am only against the U.S. government financing and empowering Isreal for no apparent reason at all. That money should be used to help our economy! And Hamas has been greatly oppressed by Isreal for years! Why would Hamas be forced to cut secret tunnels with which to SMUGGLE FOOD! Isreal has not allowed them to breath. Beside the fact that Saddam Hussein had NO CHEMICAL WEAPONS, this is another gimik to fool us! They even bank on our familiararity with verses in the Old Testament to use in a false pretence to make us to think they are "PROTECTING GOD'S PEOPLE FROM EVIL ONES"! Iran, Gaza, Iraq, and all those states are inhabited with God beleivers, muslims and even christians. Back in the Old Testament, Isreal was faced with barbarious evil empires and today THIS IS NOT THE CASE! I CONDEMN THE FINANCING OF THIS DAMN WAR! Isreal is the bully in the East today. So is GWB

P.S.- Between 2000-2008 4,048 Qassam rockets and 4,040 mortar shells fired at Israel by Hamas. So you can try to trivialize things by selecting specific time periods but over 8000 explosive projectiles were launched at Israel.
So, how many explossives, missiles, air raids, targetted killings, etc.... have Israel dumped on Palestinians in comparison? Or do you only wan't to present figures for just the 1 side? At least I mentioned how many Israelis the Palestinians had killed.

Perhaps if you read all of my posts you will understand why I mentioned those numbers and put the pieces together. I'm betting you won't even try because you don't want to see reality.
P. S.- Learn how to use the quote function properly.

I still can't get over folks using the term, "GENOCIDE."
If Israel wanted to indulge in "GENOCIDE" they would (in Gaza) start in the north, and kill everything that moved as they proceeded toward the south.
G]enocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Self defense is self defense.
And if it's periodic ass-kickings you really crave - keep starting fights with them.
.
So from the day that Israel declared independence, within weeks, coalition after coalition have been trying to wipe them out as a nation.
