Does that give the right for zionist to do the same to palistinians?
What, lining up the population of whole towns, making them dig trenches and then shooting them so that they fall into the trenches? Lining them up against walls and shooting them? Marching them into gas chambers and killing them?

Have not seen any recent footage of this, link?

Funny how everyone has just latched onto using the term 'Zionist' as if it's some kind of insult :D

So what value does one place on a life? I get you but think its inappropriate to say one worse than the other.

By that logic Churchill is no better than Hitler.

I'd say it's inappropriate you don't show nearly the outrage at the deaths of over a 100 000 Syrians than you do 600 Palestinians in Gaza.

By that logic one could compare a single fatal domestic dispute to the systematic, targeted, unprovoked mass murder of millions of civilians during the holocaust...because what value does one place on a life?

They are completely different and on a different scale.

Again, I'm not saying that whats going on isn't a tragedy. I'm saying that it's wrong to say it's the same thing as the holocaust.

I also thought it was funny. :D But the same people can't see the wood from the trees.

It is as per below:

[/I]A religious variety of Zionism supports Jews upholding their Jewish identity, opposes the assimilation of Jews into other societies and has advocated the return of Jews to Israel as a means for Jews to be a majority in their own nation, and to be liberated from antisemitic discrimination, exclusion, and persecution that had historically occurred in the diaspora.

Defenders of Zionism say it is a national liberation movement for the repatriation of a dispersed socio-religious group to what they see as an abandoned homeland millennia before.[5][6][7]

Critics of Zionism see it as a colonialist[8] or racist[9] ideology that led to the denial of rights, dispossession and expulsion of the "indigenous population of Palestine
"

I looked and found this

http://electronicintifada.net/blogs...eo-shows-sniper-killing-wounded-gaza-civilian

can you answer why a plain clothes unarmed person is being shot? I can not understand it.

The hamas militants also wear plain clothes. Obviously snipers have a different ROE than other ground troops, and if someone steps into their overwatch area they can shoot to kill if the person is deemed hostile. I don't know why they would shoot someone who doesn't have a firearm though, as a firearm like an ak can be seen from miles away with their optics. Could be an honest mistake or a genuine war crime.

No sure, I just find it funny that all of a sudden the term 'Zionist' has replaced 'Israeli' on the forum as if it's an insult. And the people using it obviously mean it as an insult and I think they are the one's who don't know what it means. Not least because they are using the term incorrectly :)

Ya...clearly to avoid appearing racist, when they try to stop rockets being fired at them they should make sure bomb that town in Gaza that's filled with Norwegians!
[/sarcasm]

If you find a town in Gaza that's not full of Palestinians, let me know.

And here we were having a good discussion about what is happening and the fanatics came and screw everything up.

And that boys is why you need women to rule. You fanatics will keep on blowing up each other and not look at facts.

( Fanatics - Not all of you.. but you the guys that feel offended by this.. you yes you need a pacifier.)

FFS.
