Do you know how stupid you sound? 

Nuclear fallout would pollute the air and air floats dippy. It would contaminate Israeli space as well.

This is the fellow, remember, who thinks politicians are willing to let their own citizens die in swaths as long as they have an excuse to go to war.  He's probably seen Dr. Strangelove and knows the Israelis have a similar bunker complex to wait it out.

No. I've seen the true face of these psychopaths.

Really? How many people in Hamas have you met?

I saw an old ghoul who massacred 2 million people in Iraq; though:

Takes one to know one. Is it any less ghoulish when you cheer the deaths of Israeli civilians and brush off the butcheries of Hamas?

@arewethereyet  am I brainwashed for defying such atrocities against civilians, babies and poor families?

Israel: White Phosphorus Used in Gaza, Lebanon

That is a terrible thing but it was also a terrible thing to kill a bunch of people who had just shown up for work, were drinking their second cup of coffee, and reading emails.  They were mostly civilians though not babies and probably not your definition of poor.

Just people trying to live their lives.  Same damn thing.

Nobody cheered for their deaths.

War is grim, gloomy and disgusting. But when somebody invades and butchers since 1948, they are forcing the natives to fight back.

Nobody cheered for the death of civilians, but how else would the other part -Israel- stop the blood bath it started since 1948 ?

Umm... where are you getting that 2 million figure? Because the highest number I've been able to source is just over a million, and even that report is deeply flawed for a couple of reasons (from an extremely broad definition of "Household" to their counting excess deaths due to America destroying Iraq's social infrastructure among the war dead.)

Not saying I supported the war in Iraq (I was against it even before they actually rolled troops into Baghdad, and nothing that happened there since March 2003 has made it seem like any less of a bad idea), I just don't think it's accurate to say Bush killed 2 million in Iraq.

Sure, the blood bath Israel started.
WP: On 14 May 1948, David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel to be known as the State of Israel, a few hours before the termination of the Mandate. At midnight on 15 May 1948, the British Mandate was officially terminated, and the State of Israel came into being. Several hours later, Iraq and the neighbouring Arab states, Egypt, Transjordan and Syria, invaded the newborn state, and immediately attacked Jewish settlements.

You can't gaslight me.  It doesn't work.

Worth noting, every single conflict that Israel has been a part of (except for the 1956 Suez Crisis), they're never the ones to shed first blood. Granted, quite a bit of the time, the Arab states who end up fighting are pushed by Israel's policies (like pushing Gazan citizens out of their homes), and once the fighting starts, they will usually escalate it long past the point where it's easy to excuse (the white phosphorus bombs would be a good example), but the violence itself tends to start with the other nations.

Six Days, too, but as with the 1956 thing, Nasser blockaded Eilat first.
