Re: OMG.. About 300 killed and 700 injured. Do you think Israel still seeking for pea
Here is the Wikipedia definition:
Israel is not deliberately trying to destroy the Palestinians. If they were, the Palestinians would be destroyed. You are completely wrong and neither understand the conflict nor the term. Sorry. That's known as "fail".
Irrelevant to the issue. Genocide does not exist in the context you claimed. I never said that genocide does not exist in any context. Please do not subscribe to me a position I did not take.
The Palestinians were the initial antagonists, and it is irrelevant as to who is better armed. They are the aggressors and that is what matters. I suppose if the Palestinians do not want to be killed, since they only have substandard weaponry, they should not attack a country that is so well armed. Unfortunately, making good choices, does not seem to be one of the Palestinians' better attributes.
Let me define my terms, then -- I call the systematic destruction of a peoples and their way of life genocide. And since when does, "Israeli feelings of religious entitlement in regards to a patch of land," translate to Palestinian aggression? It really sounds to me like you don't have the foggiest as to why this conflict exists in the first place. Or can you enlighten me?

Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.

Also, just as an aside... If genocide doesn't exist, what do you call the Holocaust? A different word with the exact same connotations? Or maybe you're saying that mass killings don't occur, in which case I simply don't wish to converse with you, and anyone else of your ilk around here.

A final point... Even if the Palestinians were the initial antagonists (which they weren't), you have to consider that for the most part, they throw rocks and sticks. The Israelis have the best pilots in the world and, outside of America, the best air-fleet. They. Are. Well. Armed. Period. And they're not attacking the Palestinians with rubber bullets and tear-gas: they're using lead.
