Is Sam Harris becoming a pariah for the anti-religious cause?

Maybe Hamas should gather in a stadium and declare to the IDF, "Hey, we're right here. Come and bomb us." Or perhaps they should store their weapons on the moon? What the fuck do you think happens in war, when the resistance must come from a population that has very little power or control of their own regions?

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?

Hamas use of civilian infrastructure is the fault of Hamas.

Stop trying to blame the Israeli's for Hamas' actions. The Israelis have their own faults without you disingenously adding to them.

Quote:2. Every ceasefire (which means you stop firing at the enemy -- only that) has been met with Hamas using it to position more Qassam rockets.
Factually incorrect. See the article I linked in my previous post. Or here, I'll save you time:
Quote: Hamas rocket fire increases in response to Israeli military attacks and decreases in direct correlation to them. Cease-fires have brought the greatest security to the region.

Notice how they don't say "stopped rocket fire"?

That's because they are ALWAYS FUCKING FIRING ROCKETS.

The only difference is intensity. An intensity that does not seem to hit zero for any significant body of time.

Any number of rockets is a declaration of war -- so you're stupidly wrong.

And I'll pay my own money to have you live under the red zone under the condition that you make no use of Israeli warnings, shelter or Iron Dome.

Let's see how much you're willing to stand for your beliefs when you are under fire.

Quote:3. Hamas has no military bargaining power.

If they do not surrender, then they are solely responsible for the death of Gazans.
So it's Hamas' fault that Israel is lodging missiles and gunfire at houses, schools, and hospitals?

Article 52, Protocol 1:
"In so far as objects are concerned, military objectives are limited to those objects which by their nature, location, purpose or use make an effective contribution to military action and whose total or partial destruction, capture or neutralization, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a definite military advantage."

Hamas stores and uses civilian infrastructure for launching military action (i.e. contribution to military action).

Thus they are legitimate military targets.

Are you retarded, or just ideologically blind?

To hell with Gaza -- pound them until they unconditionally surrender or kill them all.

There is no middle ground any more as it has gone on too long.
Genocide is the answer? You're fucking disgusting.

Are you claiming that Palestinian == Hamas?

Because if you are, your cries of genocide are disingenous and disgusting.

You're the ball of shit. Not me.

Did you cry salty tears when Imperial Japan refused to surrender until two of their cities were obliterated in a second?

Did you blame the big bully United States for demanding the Imperial Japanese government surrender unconditionally or face utter destruction?

Please, tell us your moral high ground...
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
