Israeli air strikes target Gaza

Hard not to kill civilians when the terrorists are hiding amongst them.

Yes, im sure bombing civilian towns is not meant to result in killing civilians

How stupid are their officals?
Do they seriously think if they pray hard enough, the bombs will magically divert itself away from children to militants?
 
Israel's government showed good will. All they got in return was more missiles in the south and more kidnappings in the north.

Therefor we must punish ALL. Sounds like a drunken stepdad. A whole body of people, through government, is attacking a whole other for the actions of few. Sounds like a plan.

When I walk in on my brothers and they are doing something bad but I only catch one... And the one with the wrongdoing is caught with it and the other doesn't rat himself out. How do I know he wasn't innocent? I should spank or repremand him for something that he MIGHT have done? No. That just reflects cruelty. You tell the one that was caught to just keep their hands off your expensive object next time and he wont get in trouble without his little brother.

Except by your logic replace brothers with the appropriate sides and replace repramand with missles.

With the terrorists?

Yes, I secretley support Taliban. Hell, i have wet dreams over Islamic take over on Israel and a return of Hitler ....


.... :doh
 
Oh brilliant logic, by invading and bombing Palestinians they cleary work towards peace... That's the most stupid thing I've heard this month. Obviously you don't realize how many innocent Palestinians have lost their life or home because of that bombings... Or you just don't care?

The civilians are not so innocent in Gaza. They voted for terrorists. They march in parades dressing up their children in mock suicide belts and carry plastic rockets pointed at Israel. These civilians are not as innocent as those of your ilk would like us to believe.

Palestinian Rocket Misfires, Kills 2 Girls In Gaza

A projectile fired by Palestinian militants fell short of its target in Israel on Friday, striking a house in northern Gaza and killing two schoolgirls.

The attack came as Israel sent mixed signals regarding its plans to respond to continuing Palestinian rocket fire. Israeli defense officials say politicians have approved a large-scale incursion into the territory once rainy conditions clear. But at the same time, Israel appeared receptive to international pressure against an invasion, opening the Gaza border Friday to allow in deliveries of humanitarian aid.

****ing retards :roll:

Make sure to tell that to God when the North American Coalition is bombing your neighbor because he is part of some violent group called "The Freestate Project". Or maybe some mexican labor force that sounds slightly scary. And then maybe hell just tell you "Damn... you shouldnt let that terrorist hide next to you."
 
The rocket attacks are what needs to be condemned, not Israel's exercising its Article 51 rights to defend itself.

Both need to be condemned
 
Its not Hamas rockets that are killing civilians but Israel's.
Everytime a attack happens, do you notice that more civilians seem to die compared to actual militants?

This is because of the cowardly practice by the militants of hiding amongst human shields.
 
Honestley?
I don't blame Israel for wanting to retaliate but can they not have gone by it in a different way? How about not stupidly using bombs/air raids in civilian areas. Do they not realise that just possibly, there may be civilians there?
Yes they were provoked but there is no justification when more civilians are being reported killed than Hamas soldiers. No justification at all and all Israel has once again suceeded in doing is once again giving the militants a PR boost and shooting themselves in the foot.

Because the terrorists and militants hide in civilian areas. The rocket launches are an act of war. By right, Israel could re-invade the entire territory and take out the entire Hamas infrastructure. Honestly, this is what they should do to preserve their security. That wouldn't play well internationally, however, so Israel has to exercise restraint - which it has.

I always said, "Wanna be a lawyer? Hang around lawyers. Wanna be a doctor? Hang around doctors. Wanna be a crackhead? Hang around crackhead's." I suppose if ya wanna be a terrorist, ya should hang around terrorists. Would you let a terrorist set up shop in your house? Would you go out for a night on the town with a group of them?

I hope not. That would make you fair game. :shock:

That is restraint?

225 civilians is now restraint?

You and me clearly have a difference of opinion

Soo let me get this straight... the terrorists must be letting off smoke signals every time they do a dastardly deed. Or a plane flies over and its sophisticated electronics sense a militant hiding behind 3 innocents and calculates it as acceptable. Or maybe... Damn.. How do they pick their targets? Maybe you could explain to me how a bomber picks a target by Israel.

Does a pilot just fly around and look for some dude holding a gun?

It is not terrorists hiding behind people... Its people slowly getting pissed of and leaving the crowd to avenge.

Did you see the video I posted earlier of a aircraft hiting a car with a security leader in it? The Palastiniens don't know what is up with that car. They are just responding to a car getting lit up and doing the human thing. Then minutes later after a good size crowd has built up. The plane comes back around and legally blow the same target. Its correct because they are stilling hitting a militairy approved target right? Except for the fact they purposely wait for civilians to gather around it and then chose to light it up again.

We got American protesters and UK protesters dying by the hands of Israel when they travel their for everyones sake and yet we still back um.... Doesn't make any sense.

I personally think this has little to nothing to do with Hamas attacks.

Isn't Israel's elections coming up ... *cough*
 
I get the feeling Iran is going to come off in a good light

A good light? The flash of freshly supplied weaponry from Iran. Iran is nothing but an instigator, they know that Israel will not allow the so called aid into Gaza. Iran has done nothing but encourage, support, and supply arms to Hamas and Hizbollah.

Unfortunately, there is nobody posting here from Gaza to tell us how it feels to be under siege with no electricity, fuel, food and medical supplies in a day where 220+ died, 400 injured over 120 seriously, many more still under the wreckage with F16s flying over head causing fear and terror for a 1.5 million people.

If they stopped the rockets from raining down on southern Israel, they wouldn't have to worry about those things, now would they?
 
Perhaps, or perhaps Israel needs to show further restraint.

It has used this 'tactic' before many times in not only Gaza but Lebanon.
You do not manage to kill Militants by attacking civilian areas, they should know civilians will be the ones who die

What would you propose? Do nothing while rockets continue to rain down on Southern Israel?

Yes lets blame Iran.
Its almost like blaming US for Israel's actions.
