When someone shoots you, they are at a power of authority and more likely have a more dangerous weapon than you, with higher chance of accuracy of killing. With a rock, well, you're a joke. Which is why Hamas is a joke to Israel, the United States, and the Arab League.
In other words, let them die along with the civilians to generate more ethnic cleansing and breeding of Hamas kids. Killing two birds with one stone.

What?
Is this directed to Muslims who don't cry out when It's Muslim governments that are in the wrong?
Do you really think so?
Of-course you'll only notice people crying out about Israel because that's what you're centered around.
The Syrian, Libyan and Egyptian killings got huge media coverage.
Full-out riots, petitions and marches just like the Palestinian crisis is getting it now..
Did you really forget about the Arab Spring? Bye..

It doesn't pertain to them,so why would they know about it or bother hearing about it on the few news outlets for just 2 minutes? It's very dangerous when one uses their own very poor perception as a gauge for the GP's. Smh.

Ok since I didnt know about this thread and made another one(which is gonna be closed) heres a summary on the latest news which I posted on the other thread:
In the 15th day of Israeli attacking on Gaza, the death toll of Palestinians rises to more 509, mostly civilians. The number of deaths rises after the Israeli heavy shelling on various areas in Gaza strip.the number of the wounded also rose to 3150 with more than 60000 civilians running to the UN camps from the Israeli shelling and clashes with the Palestinian resistance, who for now, has killed more than 21 soldiers (a lot of are still not admitted by the Israeli army) and still counting with more than 100 wounded, and succeeded with kidnapping a Israeli soldier named Shaul Aron. Many of the Israeli bombings targeted houses for no reason according to civilians, who were getting shocked by Israeli military calling them saying that they need to leave their house because it is being targeted for bombing. The Palestinian death toll rises daily with tens of deaths of civilians which the Palestinian resistance and many other countries claim that Israel kill them on purpose to revenge the deaths of their soldiers from one of the strongest units in the Israeli army. The Israeli attack on Gaza is in its 15th day today, and Israel claims that she wants to destroy the tunnels Hamas uses and to hit Hamas hard and claims that she doesnt target civilians and try their hardest to not kill them, but the number of the civilians who were killed by the Israeli shelling make up to 90% of the total deaths (up from 80% few days ago).

What I saw on Facebook.
Quote:
I used to wonder why some Palestinian people would engage in actions that could only provoke the aggressor further. Then I realized that to ask a people to live quietly, while they have no justice and no freedom, is to ask them to live "peacefully" as slaves. "Peace" without justice or freedom is slavery. It's like asking a battered woman to live "peacefully" with her abuse. We all want the bloodshed to stop. But what about the daily humiliation and institutionalized oppression?
I was reminded of a part in "The Hunger Games" when Katniss considers abandoning the resistance against the oppressor, in exchange for "safety". Gale's response was telling. He said: "Safe to do what? Starve? Work like slaves? Send their kids to the reaping?"
Consider this: If a woman is being raped, things would be a lot more "peaceful" if she didn't resist. But, asking her not to resist--just because her attacker is physically stronger--is asking her to accept her own abuse and oppression for the sake of "peace". This is what the world is asking Palestinians to do.
And sometimes what seems to the world as just ineffective tactics, like throwing a rock at a tank, is in fact an act of resistance. It is a powerful statement to the oppressor--and the world--that they refuse to be enslaved. That dignity and self-respect are even more beloved to them than their own lives.
It is a statement that you can take their lives. But not their freedom.

Just one/two things, I don't think it will be peace, it goes the way that in near future 3 nuclear bombs get placed in the israel heartland and after the explosion, then we will see.
Second, Israel has lost the war of pictures due to the internet but it won't matter much, it will go on and on and we can make a thousand threads - 'til my first point.
third, to prevent point 1 and 2, The 1 billion Muslims has to demand the right to exist for Israel to their leaders in exchange that Israel has to share with the Palestinians half of Israel, half of Westbank, half of Negev, half of Jerusalem.
For the rest of opinions, weepings, moanings, laments, shocking deads, I don't care.

I think the world should learn from the Palestinians courage ! they are bombed everyday with the heaviest arms and they still find a time to smile and they never give up. This is what we call courage and resistance !

Well this is a problem tho cause we all know, once Israel takes land there is no way it's going back to Palestinian hands.

Israel 'Hits Hospital' As Death Toll Tops 560
Quote:
Another airstrike kills 26 members of the same family, while seven more Israeli soldiers die in gun battles with Hamas fighters.
Four people have been killed and a further 70 injured when Israeli tank shells hit a hospital in central Gaza, according to Palestinian medics.
Thirty of those wounded in the attack were reportedly medical staff.
Health official Ashraf al Kidra said 12 shells hit the intensive care unit, surgery department and administration building at the al Aqsa hospital in the town of Deir el-Balah.

To hit a HOSPITAL which is a sanctuary packed with ill or injured people who can't fend for themselves and are seeking shelter is one of the most heinous atrocities anyone can commit.
Israel showing its true colors. I guess it's all good since it's an act of self defense and Palestinian brought it upon themselves?...
