Israel - Palestine Update Thread. No hate. Just updates.

Like others have said this is not the place to have this debate. Ive been a lurker here at ATS for a long time, and have seen enough threads to know this debate will go no where. You believe what you believe, and i believe differently. We're both entitled to our opinions.

That's a surprise.

We might as well for the sake of brevity mention every Muslim nation in existence.

In terms of military might it may not be "balanced and fair" but its not like Hamas isn't asking for it

using all the might of your brain dont you think that in order for something to push you to attack such a greater enemy...must be something really strong..like being sieged for decades with no where to go like a cornered rat?

Yes. Look at the oppressed people of Hamas...

For those who think Hamas has no reason to act the way they do.







Just pointing it out...

Oh and gaza strip 365 square kilometres. Population 1,657,155 (2011) 4540 for every square kilometer.

lets try to keep this thread on updates...I know I started everything but it was way cooler and informative before my intervention..so accept my apologies of derailing the thread and please keep up the good work

Norman Finkelstein.

You are verily spreading hate in a thread that specifically tells us not to.

Qatar’s King Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani has reportedly located the whereabouts of senior Hamas members during his recent visit to the Gaza Strip, and later provided Israel with the information to assassinate them.

Many major cities can beat that population density.

Singapore 7301
Hong Kong 6396

Those two are countries,

Manila 43,079
Delhi 29,155
Kolkata 27,774

And many many more Link

Not only cornered with their back to the sea, surrounded by barbed wire and pounded day and night by naval vessels, tanks, artillery, attack helicopters and jets that use thousand pound bombs...

as opposed to 20 pound warheads on home made whiz bangs that fly all the way outside Gaza.

This thread has turned. Its allowing one sided opinions and telling other people to take theirs elsewhere.

Its supposed to be updates only...

40 rockets since midnight

Thank you, I fixed the link.

Just thinking outside the square. I find it interesting Israel mobilizes 75000 troops, and pentagon says 75000 troops needed to take syria.

Normally a ground invasion is dangerous, but with syria army fractured all over syria, with terror cells already within syria, and huge amounts of troops up north to strengthen against Turkey, the south door for Golan Height would be at a week reinforcement.

Imagine if Israel took Syria, plenty more land for them to bulldoze and build.

Just a thought I had. News reports formulating my guess can be found below.

Maybe not many rocket strikes are happening. They said 500 fired in last 3 days. How much footage of proof of this mass of rockets have been fired. Isn't it strange that one month ago USA started there missile war games in Israel.

Another question, how much is Hamas infiltrated by Mossad. I would say Israel are over exaggerating the amount of missiles. What is the death count of Israelis from the 500 missiles?
