The true nature of Islam is rearing its head.![]()
You just dont get it, Hamas started this and attacked Israel, what did they think would happen after having these rockets fired without provocation into Israel?![]()
No it should be a crime punishable by death but who put that child in harms way? Who put that child where the Hamas terrorists were? Was it Israel? No it was Hamas ...
Maybe if some Islamic states and leaders condemned the attacks on Israel my opinion would change.![]()
wikiBalfour explained:
"The contradiction between the letters of the Covenant [of the League of Nations] and the policy of the Allies is even more flagrant in the case of the ‘independent nation’ of Palestine than in that of the ‘independent nation‘ of Syria. For in Palestine we do not propose to even go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country though the American Commission is going through the form of asking what they are.
The Four Great Powers [Britain, France, Italy and the United States] are committed to Zionism. And Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age-long traditions, in present needs, and future hopes, of far profounder import than the desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land. In my opinion that is right.
What I have never been able to understand is how it can be harmonized with the [Anglo-French] declaration, the Covenant, or the instruction to the [King-Crane] Commission of Enquiry.
I do not think that Zionism will hurt the Arabs, but they will never say they want it. Whatever be the future of Palestine it is not now an ‘independent nation’, nor is it yet on the way to become one. Whatever deference should be paid to the views of those living there, the Powers in their selection of a mandatory do not propose, as I understand the matter, to consult them. In short, so far as Palestine is concerned, the Powers have made no statement of fact which is not admittedly wrong, and no declaration of policy which, at least in the letter, they have not always intended to violate.
Er.. I seem to recall that they were kicked out by military force in the first of Israel's little illegal wars in 1948 or so. Or am I mistaken?
How are the Christian people in these areas affected by such attacks on either side?
dont hear much on it ... always Muslim vs Jew ...
Some Israelies are indeed Christian, Muslim, and probably Atheist.
Yes you're mistaken.
If a war is illegal, then surely it's the attackers who are doing the illegal act?
Israel didn't attack her neighbours they attacked her.
The invading arab armies told Arab civilians to leave the area and they did. Those that didn't became Israelies.
Do you think that them being terrorist breeding grounds has anything to do with it ?"Arab propaganda machine" ??? Marine1, the world hates the Arab nations!
Wow people will say anything to justify the aggression.
Marine1 i am sure that dropping 100 tons of explosives (minus last night), would mean that if the Palestinians moved their children, wait the borders are closed.
With no health care (yep blocked too)... This is probably the war you all want to see. But wait if you have advanced waponry and still kill 200 + innocent (they are innocent cut it anyway you want).
What it comes down to is that Israel is shooting fish in a barrel and however you try to spin it what they are doing is wrong.
Yes firing rockets is wrong but it is in the occupied territories (for anyone still in denial this is what we in SA call Squatting i.e the land is palestinian).
So if i fire rockets onto my land and you are there then you deserve it for being on my land.
So Marine1 it looks like the jews put their people in harms way.
Ah i see Frankie. So the actions of a few are used to judge all muslims.
Everyone can say oh kill them because of the Bali bombings. But that is samll minded but i shoulda expected that
Yes it is small minded to ignore the ideology driving these extremists.Ah i see Frankie. So the actions of a few are used to judge all muslims.

When will it stop?When did the rise of modern Islamic extremism begin though?
Marine1: Answer just this question ... killing a 5 year old is justified? (be it on an Israeli or Palestine child) ...
When they shoot rockets it is okay, but when Israel retaliates someone starts the old, tired emotional threads about terrorism. No-one is fooled and this has been the pattern all along: For every palestinian attack on Israel, there is always a retaliation. I think Israel's response is okay.
