Palestine

RE: Palestine
Is the world run by the arab moto and we all missed it? Even in the notion of lex talionis, there's supposed to be consideration for proportionate and discriminating response. It's not a head for an eye. It's not the notion that one guy stabbing me gives me warrant to stab a third party. Or, at least, when these things happen we don't think it's our best work.

Does the arab world judge the quality of it's military actions by how much cruelty they can inflict rather than how much good judgment they display? The same question will now be asked of the israeli government, even in the context of granting an absolute right of self defense. You seem like you're well aware of this - what with bitching about the great satan for years.

-and about that arab world. They getting alot of full throated support over there in hamas at present?

Sure, that's why the IDF always gives 'em ten mikes to clear the building, they're trying to kill civilians.  And Hamas' thousands of rockets are precision rounds that only land on military sites.

Oh, but demolishing the house of a poor family is okay ? and maybe they miss hearing the knocking on the roof ?

The Israelis have put that on a back burner for now.

Israel is still bitterly divided about Mr Netanyahu, whose government's extreme right-wing agenda prompted months of protests.

But citizens of all political persuasion are rallying behind their flag. With Israel officially at war the protests are suspended, and reservists who refused to turn up for duty are now queuing to return.

So you're saying Hamas has united the Israelis ? 
Netanyahu should have anticipated that.

On one hand Israeli is an awful corrupt state whose military has and does commit war crimes. On the other Hamas are not heroes either. Both sides of this conflict are in the wrong.

The question is, how long will that last ?

War is war; even America nukes civilians, even Russia burned civilians, even the British burned German civilians, the Arab moto says : "Eye for an eye, the one who started it is the cruel one".

And Israel was indeed very, very cruel. Almost Nazi, or worse.

So then why are you complaining only about the Israelis? It's a war, and as you say, war is war. By your logic, Israel is entitled to raze Gaza and evict or kill its inhabitants. The rest of us can see the immorality of that.

There's your double-standard, complaining about Israeli war-crimes, ignoring Arab war-crimes. Fuckin' hypocrite.

I'm not sure anyone here ever expressed support for Netanyahu or Likud.  But if that's not good enough for ya then we know your anti-Zionism has veered into anti-Semitism.
