Done nothing? Nothing? You have to be kidding... Decades of oppression, starvation, water apartheid, resource and land theft/occupation of Palestinian territories is nothing to you?
Exactly. Power to the Palestinians!
The state of Israel should have never been created in the first place. Why did the UN think it was a good idea to benefit the jews - who, of course, deserved it - while it's clear that decision totally marginalized other people?
Lol. This isn't Islam versus Judaism. This is Israelis vs Palestinians. Who gives a **** what religion?
I think it's just a way for them to be like " stop criticize Israel, look what they're doing". It's a shame people feel the need to point the finger elsewhere to try and justify what is happening.
Because ISIS won't be stopped by the regional forces, it will be stopped by the western world, if they decide to do so.
How does that come into this debate though? The poster was claiming they are hypocrites for protesting israel and not syria, which was a lie, many have the ability to protest all these issues and more.
The user I was responding to was saying that Gaza only fires rockets in response to acts of VIOLENCE from Israel. When I say "nothing", I mean that Gaza continues to fire rockets at Israel even when Israel goes long periods of time without being violent to Gaza.
What I find extremely confusing is people think that a ground invasion to destroy missiles being targeted at civilians is "disproportionate" to firing thousands of missiles intended to kill civilians, yet firing thousands of missiles intended to kill civilians is totally fine and not at all disproportionate to Israel claiming some land.
For the record - I am NOT in support of Israel's occupation of the West Bank. All I'm saying is the disproportionality arguments needs to follow through. If Israel's current response to Palestine is disproportionate, then so is Palestine's missiles in the first place.
Also, I find it very hard to sympathize with Gaza regarding the starvation, water, etc. when they were given millions of dollars back around a decade ago to make Gaza a better place for civilians, and instead of using that money to do that, they used it all to build tunnels and rockets...
Well, targeting hospitals, schools and official UN shelters certainly isnt aproppriate, dont you think?
And what I find confusing are the claims that Israel invading another country is alright, and that they doing it to destroy the missiles which arent doing any damage anyway. They could easily let Palestinians to waste them, but no, and instead invaded Gaza and are responsible for 1000 of civilians deaths, what will cause even more hatred and extremism.
Im not saying that what Hamas is doing is acceptable, but when you are under oppression for as long as they are, then you become either apathetic and surrender, or continue to desperately fight for freedom and risk everything even if the chances for success are futile. Desperate people are doing desperate things. But they wouldnt be in this situation without Israels oppression.
You know what?
it only shows me how hypocrite is Islam!
What about 170,000 people who died in syria (children and women) NO ONE CARES! Since you can't blame israel!
Muslims are killing muslims and the world is silent !
What about arab spring all around the world? the barbaric ISIS who are killing christians, they are not different from Hamas.
I don't see any who protests against it!
Hypocrisy !
I see some of the hypocrites on this thread are ignoring the barbaric radical islam is spreading through the arab world, how they are killing muslims and christians and destroying ancient holy sites (BOTH muslim and christian) built thousands of years ago, they say NOTHING.
I wonder what would happen is Hamas conquers Israel, will they destroy all the synagogues? will they destroy all the christian churches? what are they going to do? the support for that terrorist group is truly sickening.

I find it extremely hilarious that you're mocking Hamas, when in reality they've been created by Israel's greed and inhumanity. If Israel was doing the same thing that they've been doing to Palestinians, to you and your people you would've gotten sick of it and resisted against their oppressive control. (I don't support hamas but its wrong to condemn them for having natural human feelings). The fact is, that Israel is killing more innocent people who have absolutely NO defense. Your support for that terrorist state Israel is truly sickening
Ha Ha Ha. Pro Israelis changing the topic to "oh the religion of terror Islam is spreading death around us and no one says anything" and other but same ********, like, STOP. This is a thread about Palestinian-Israeli conflict not Islam and the middle east and Syria. Many protested all what happened is Syria and it may be about religion, but it isnt OUR topic to talk about it here so keep all that out of here. ISIS is a terrorist group hated by everyone, and nothing in its doings represent Islam, it has been said over and over but you keep spewing all your BBC and Fox ******** no matter what, like, how are they representing us while they are destroying OUR holy places too?
People in Gaza live in peace with each other,they take care of each other. Some of the people who died are Christians to,but we talk about PEOPLE deaths, whether Muslims or Christians because we are the same people, we are Palestinians, we dont hear in any of the news "37 muslims died and 3 other christians died" NO, we hear 40 PALESTINIANS died, so cut it. Many churches open their doors to the muslim refuges that are running from the bombings and shelling, why would they do that to people who "oppress" them? GTFO with your ******** and stop trying to change the subject. If you feel youre loosing just admit it, dont try to open new arguments and change the subject.

I agree with you, They don't even care about their historical places!
One of this rockets can fall in The Temple Mount! (This is not a holy place for Muslims? )

Out point is that HAMAS Isn't different from ISIS, He's using his own people.
And here we go again with the "let's blame Israel for choosing to defend its own people". The missiles aren't causing any damage because Israel developed technology to make sure they don't cause damage. Hamas also got money a few years ago that they could have used for defense. But do you know what they used it for? MORE MISSILES. Saying that the missiles haven't caused that much damage isn't a point in Gaza's favour when Hamas's GOAL is to cause damage and they're only failing because Israel chose to protect its citizens, unlike Hamas.
Oh please. I know that SOME of the rockets might have been justified, but don't pretend like shooting rockets every single day for who knows how long has been justified. They've sent rockets into Israel on days where Israel has literally done NOTHING, and then they've sent them again the next day.
Lol no, dont try. I live in Israel, and whenever one SINGLE rocket falls in Israel from Hamas the whole country goes ******* crazy and its ALL over the news, and do you know when does that happen? When they respong to a Israeli attack. When Israel randomly bombs Gaza and kills on average 6 people no one even blinks here in the media, but when Hamas responds with a rocket or two all your media goes "oh look theyre ATTACKING US FOR NO REASON when will this stop we must kill these terrorists", it happens weekly with not one single newspaper or radio or channel saying the truth that it was a response. Yes the Hamas sometimes shoots rockets into Israel, BUT ITS EXTREMELY RARE , and not daily as your lying ass trying to claim. The missiles didnt do any damage BECAUSE IT WAST DEVELOPED ENOUGH to do an actual damage like the Israeli army does, they dont use white Phosphorus for example which is considered a war crime but the U.S is in Israels back no matter what but she doesnt get any punishment for it, "they were just defending themselves",when Israel assassinated a Hamas leader and killed many Palestinians and Hamas wanted to revenge and shot countless missiles on Israel and some reaching Tel-Aviv, the heart of Israel, the whole country went ******* after everyone saw how undeveloped the Iron Domes were and how it couldnt stop even half of the missiles, and you started saying it was for nothing. Yeah. Sure. And as for the money, yes, Hamas was using SOME of it to build missiles and b tunnels, but NOT ALL of them like you claim. All the money was in the hands of Israeli, and many of it didnt even taken by the Palestinians, and the ones taken mostly used to buy medics and food and every needs the strip is in extreme need of because of poor Israeli supplying (other than being low quality, many Israelis would riot if the goverment gave those expired supplies to them.and those rockets m Hamas got most of them are Iranian and Syrian and from Hezbollah, like, yes there are ones made by Hamas but they arent the majority of the rockets.
Oh please, many reporters in the strip say that they saw NOTHING from the Israeli claim that Hamas uses them as human shields, and if youre gonna terrorize Hamas for allegedly using Palestinians as human shields shouldnt we terrorize Israel for THEM using Palestinians as human shields?

Noone is ignoring radical islamists and the crimes and atrocities they do to people and their/our cultural heritage. What they are doing in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Nigeria, Somalia etc. is disgusting. But this thread is about Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Im sure most of people here are at least as concerned about it as you are, but sometimes its just hard to find the right words, just like it was for me when I saw the images of Tomb of Jonah destroyed, or the loothings in Egyptian museums and archaeological sites, not to mention Palmyra, Damascus, Aleppo and countless other sites in Syria etc., but also to many monuments in the Gaza Strip which are being damaged and endangered by Israels bombing. I cant overcome the sickness, bitterness and sadness which I felt when I saw the damage done, but words cant really express it.
It would be interesting , IMO, if someone would even the playing field. If china or Russia were to start arming the Palestinians with advanced weapons, I wonder whether Israel would still fire away so carelessly at civilians.m
