France has had to quell protests that turned into riots wherein Muslim fanatics started attacking synagogues. It's not the first time either.

What Israel is doing is just evil,
The Palestinian people have a right to autonomous way of life not subjected to oppression.
They should not be killed when they protest
What an f********* unfair world we live in.
And it is sickening to know based on what I have been reading throughout this site, concerning this topic, that I share it with f******* non-compassionate people who condone this behaviour because of being indoctrinated with twisted ideology based on propaganda.

I appreciate the sentiment, but if it were Hamas militants with an Israeli child, the child would be dead.

with Israeli planes that had their markings removed.
Yet another silly story from you,
Signalman Russell David testified that he saw Israeli insignia on the attacking jets and reported this to the Captain. Most conspiracy theorists have ignored David’s testimony. • Conspiracy theorists have also ignored Captain McGonagle's sworn testimony that the attacking torpedo boats were flying Israeli flags: When the boats reached an approximate range of 2,000 yards, the center boat of the formation was signaling to us. Also, at this range, it appeared that they were flying an Israeli flag.

Machine gunning unarmed soldiers from boats, soldiers floating in the water?
More nonsense from you...
MCGONAGLE: Immediately after the ship was struck by the torpedo, the torpedo boats stopped dead in the water and milled around astern of the ship at a range of approximately 500 to 800 yards. One of the boats signalled by flashing light, in English, “Do you require assistance”? This was confirmed, under oath, by Chief Communications Technician Harold J. Thompson: THOMPSON: ... I was asked to report to the bridge, which I did. When I got up there, Signalman David was attempting to rig a hand light. I assisted him. We went to the starboard wing of the bridge and one torpedo boat was making a run straight at us off the starboard beam while the other two stood off. At the Captain’s direction, David sent, “US Naval Ship” “US Naval Ship.” When they were about 500 yards off, the torpedo boat turned astern and came up on the stern on the starboard side and flashed, “do you need help.” ... The Captain ... said “no, thank you.” We sent this back to the boat ... and saw on the last part of that message ... “Do you want us to standby?” I passed this word to the Captain. He said, “no, thank you.” We sent this to the patrol boat. They came up along the port side, I say roughly 100 yards off, flashed “good luck” ... and disappeared. That was the last we saw of them. In addition, note that contrary to Ennes’s claim, neither the Captain nor Chief Communications Technician Thompson mention any Israeli machine gun attacks on the Liberty after the torpedo attack; on the contrary, they both recounted Israeli offers of assistance.
I'd love for you to explain why they didn't have their planes marked, and why they shot unarmed men in the water
The planes WERE carrying Israeli markings, they did not machinegun people in the water - what is your source that they did?

If Hamas was interested in negotiating a two state solution, would their charter call for the elimination of Israel as a sovereign entity?
As for Hamas not seeking an escalation in violence and trying to prevent missile attacks, I can't take those claims seriously. The sources you posted are incredibly biased, and the information is predominantly propaganda.
Look no further than recent history. In 2005, the world applauded Israel when the government extended the olive branch towards a peace treaty by relinquishing a significant piece of land near the Gazan border to Fatah, the current moderate leadership in control of the West Bank. The IDF had to forcefully remove 40,000 Jewish settlers from their homes, uproot graves in Jewish cemeteries, and abandon schools and synagogues.
Do you know what the response was to that unprecedented gesture by the Israeli government? Within 48 hours, Hamas militants overtook control of Gaza by murdering Fatah politicians; they actually threw them off of rooftops as a show of force. Shortly thereafter, Hamas seized control and began to use that land to launch missile attacks on the Israeli population from close range. Israel tried a diplomatic approach and it backfired.
As long as Hamas is in control, there will be never be an everlasting peace treaty or a two state solution, and I don't blame Israel for refusing to negotiate with a terrorist regime.
If ALL of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are unified under a single entity; humane, moderate, diplomatic leadership at some point in the future, there might be hope for peace.edit on 21-7-2014 by Rosha because: (no reason given)
