Israeli air strikes target Gaza

Why of course and likewise it wasn't exactly shocking what side Bush took.
So what about EU, AU and many other countries who condemned both sides? Do they hate Israel too? :roll:

Israel and Hamas both broke the ceasefire numerous times. Quit the bitching

Hamas broke the ceasefire; Israel retaliated. Retaiation is not the same thing.

During the 6 month ceasefire.
Hamas broke it but likewise Israel also broke the conditions laid out.
 
BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Reaction in quotes: Gaza bombing

Arab and Islamic leaders condemn deadly raids on Gaza : Middle East World

Egypt condemns the Israeli military aggression on the Gaza Strip and blames Israel, as an occupying force, for the victims and the wounded," an Egyptian presidential statement read.

"Egypt will continue its contacts to prepare an atmosphere conducive to restoring the period of calm and achieving reconciliation between the Palestinian groups," it added.

Jordan condemns Israeli strike on Gaza - People's Daily Online

Jordan urged Israel to immediately stop its military operations and put an end to the collective punishment policy against Palestinian civilians, said Jordanian State Minister for Media Affairs and Communications Nasser Judeh.

"Jordan will exert every possible effort along with influential powers in the region and beyond to put an end to the Israeli military operations," he said.

Countries with peace treaties with Israel condemning it ... you was saying?

Thank you for the links. They still fall short.
I did notice one line from the 2nd link thats says a lot.

"The truce expired on December 19 and Hamas said it would not commit to renewing the cease-fire."
 
If you target a building full of civilians for a bombing, and you bomb it knowing that, then you intentionally bombed civilians. It does not matter whether it was direct or indirect "collateral damage". It was still the intentional mass murder of innocent civilians. Of course, you could try telling the families of these people that were killed that "they were just after Hamas" but I don't think they'd really care.

Now you're just splitting hairs. The attacks were on legitimate targets known to be used by Hamas terrorisrts. The attacks are NOT on civilians. That is nonsensical bull****.

Isreal IS NOT attacking civilians.

That was not an ad hominem. I addressed your point, and then proceeded to conclude from your points that you are a hypocrite.

"I think bombing civilians is bad."
"I support the bombing of civilians."

That makes you a hypocrite.

This IS an ad hominon attack on me.
 
Laila, Israel isn't right all the time. But Israel is indeed right this time. No nation in the world would put up with daily rocket attacks. No nation should. Even at this late date, Hamas continues to fire missiles into Israel.

By most measure, the Hamas leadership is clearly dysfunctional.

Honestley, i don't think Israelis have the right to complain about the rockets still hitting them when more high tech weapons are being dropped on the Palestinians at this stage.

Israel as a democratic country, i expect it to take a moral highground every time Hamas does something wrong. All it has achieved is radicalising the popularity and potentially risking its Egypt ties as Egypt is getting a-ttacked over this recent conflict.

Bombing a Mosque full of civilians = attacking civilians. Unless bombing isn't attacking?

This IS an ad hominon attack on me.

I don't care what you want to call it; it still stands.
 
Thank you for the links. They still fall short.

How so? Because it doesn't deliver what you want to hear? None of Israel's allies save US is standing by them. That says something no?
 
Facts are excuses? Good God, you are off the deep end, sir. :shock:

What was posted were not facts.

He was making exuses for the side he believes to be correct.

You can call his excuses "facts" if you wish but that would make you as incorrect as he is.
 
9/11 wouldn't have happened if the US wasn't so involved in the Middle East.

Whats the matter you cant reply with an honest answer?

btw...How little you know...
Do you even know why bin laden turned against the US?

No, it was a fact. There wasn't conflict until the formation of Israel. If you can't see this, I pity you.

The attacks are NOT on civilians; they are on the structures. If Hamas wasn't using them to store weapons and supplies, these structures wouldn't have been hit.

I don't care what you want to call it; it still stands.

Thank you for admitting your adhom attacks.
 
HAMAS would not exist if it were not for the suppression of Palestinians by Zionists. So now where are we?

Here we go again, who owns the land...........:roll:


I thought you said you didn't support any side?

No, he was making an excuse.

He was trying to shift the blame from Hamas to Isreal. This is called making excuses.

Moral of the story -- Leave Isreal alone.. and leave in peace.

Attack Israel --- get owned.
 
Here we go again, who owns the land...........:roll:

Who owns the land?

At this ****ing rate both sides can piss off. UK should own that land.

Make it a nice holiday spot with good beaches ...
 
The mosque attacks whilst its populated is a new low.

Did you know any inside? Where they your brothers and sisters? hmmm?
Do you have friends inside the area that provide you with real intell?
Or are you just blowing the same smoke from the propaganda war of 06?
 
Calling you out on your lack of knowledge and rather than prove me wrong, you duck. Awesome. :)

You ARE attempting to hijack this thread.

Making excuses isn't going to change that.

That makes complete sense. So when a group of individuals starts slowly taking over your homeland, you should not attack them.

:sinking:
 
Here we go again, who owns the land...........

It has nothing to do about ownership. When any population is displaced in such a manner it is going to foster a lot of hatred, radicalism and resistance. It doesn't matter whether or not you think it was justified; that's just a fact that you should expect.

The attacks are NOT on civilians; they are on the structures. If Hamas wasn't using them to store weapons and supplies, these structures wouldn't have been hit.

So if someone puts a bomb in a club and blows it up and claims their intent was to destroy the structure, and it resulted in hundreds of people dying, that person shouldn't be charged?

Thank you for admitting your adhom attacks.

Hypocrite.
