Israels criminal shelling of gaza

" A storm of bombs and fire grotesquely denominated “Operation Protective Edge” has been unleashed by the Israeli government on the civilian population of Gaza. Over the last days more than 400 tonnes of high potential bombs have hit targets within the densely populated Gaza Strip, killing at least 100 civilians, including many children, and injuring hundreds. Meanwhile, Gaza is cut off from medical supplies and any form of aid, because of the Egyptian government’s decision to close down all tunnels through the border, which were used for smuggling in arms, but also food, fuel, medicines and almost all that is needed for the survival of the population, with the result of making the civilian casualties even worse. This attack launched by the Israeli army has no justification, in spite of all the excuses made up by the international media."

Agree with the article.
Three Israelis killed. Ok, they found the dudes.
There is absolutely no justification for Israel's actions.

Quote:
But these rockets have proven to be totally ineffective and easy for the sophisticated Israeli military defence to detect and destroy after they have been launched. Israeli towns which could be targeted by these rockets are secured and safe refuges are available in case of emergency. Proof of this is that so far civilian casualties in Israel have amounted to zero, compared to over 100 victims among the Palestinians. These figures alone speak clearly on who the real aggressor is and the disproportionate amount of firepower between the two sides
So I guess the author of this article is saying Israel should not do anything until the rockets are more sophisticated , more accurate , more deadly and produce an appropriate amount of casualties . And the people who live where the rockets land are good at hiding from rockets anyway so.... If you are just really nice to the people who believe you have no right to exist no matter what, perhaps they will change their mind.

Actually, let me edit. I believe I'd defend Israels right to defend itself if Gaza was allowed free trade and unblocked immigration. Its hard for me to defend Gaza either, why is Hama's representing them? To me it seems it'd make more sense if insurgents did not represent Gaza's intentions. But more or less Israel to me over decades, if not today, seems to justify its actions saying they are religiously persecuted. Its ignorance to me to use the Jewish persecution defense crutch.
Oh well, w/e whats the damn use. The entire middle east is like a blister on the face of the earth that needs to be popped with a few nukes.
I may even go too far saying this, but to me no religion that exists in that country should even be recognized anymore I'm sorry religion that justifies murder should be abolished

And what is Obama doing?
http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0FQ1JC20140721?irpc=932
A ceasefire? Oh wait I mean, yeah a ceasefire. The right decision. For some reason I thought we might be secretly assisting Israel. With air strikes. Like when Gadaffi was found and raped and killed without a trial.
Ok so anyway I'm not saying we will eventually intervene like always but if we did, who do you think we would assist? Israel right? We see Hamas like insurgents, which they are, but what makes one side more innocent then the other? I should post facts but would like further input on this discussion before I continue to describe why I think both sides are equally guilty fighting a pointless war

According to you. Many disagree. I'm surprised they waited this long. This is how they should respond each and every time a rocket is fired at them.
I doubt many other nations would have put up with what the Israelis have. China wouldn't. Russia wouldn't. The US sure wouldn't.
Why should the Israelis?

Of course not, that would require maturity. And murder does not represent maturity.
I could sit here and say, "well if Israel allowed Gaza to do this....... Then no fighting would amount to much because......" But that would indicate rationality. Muslims and Jews hate each other. Its that simple, unfortunately
I wish it wasn't. Sad times for people in sad places, is all that can be said

Yet Israel does, until Hamas or the others start up again. They choose not to respond, they release prisoners, they gave Gaza to people that hate Israel. Despite that, Hamas (and others) seem to always start shit again.
Frankly, I wouldn't care if the Earth opened up and swallowed that entire region but one side is clearly the aggressor.

If they start using catapults to willy-nilly shoot their machines into population centers, then yes.
In the meantime the harm the machines cause is generally self inflicted. Much like the harm that befalls those who are stupid enough to lob unguided missiles into population centers.

The hundreds of innocent civilians killed in this conflict had no part in shooting rockets into Israeli. Disgusting how some people will try to justify what is essentially genocide.

You should go look up genocide. It doesn't apply.
Those in Gaza know how to stop the attacks. They choose not to.
I find wanton acts of terror, like shooting unguided missiles into population centers, to be what is disgusting. How do you justify that?

Clearly.

Last week. Actually, a better answer is "repeatedly".
I don't give a shit about both sides list. My issue is with the rockets.
Your map is in error. There never was a Palestine.
As long as one side launches unguided rockets at civilian areas, they are the aggressors. And as long as they continue to do so, Israel is completely justified in responding.

What the fuck kind of logic is that?
Should US citizens be responsible for all the criminals around them? Should they have to pay with their lives if they don't?
How many of the 520+ dead were Hamas? Israel doesn't know, Palestinians don't know, and you sure as shit don't know.
By the way here's the definition of genocide:
gen·o·cide/ˈjenəˌsīd/ noun
the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

It's what you called it. Logic.
No rockets into Israel, no Israel bombs or troops into Gaza. It's quite a simple concept. How is it that it escapes you?
