Oh, thanks for that.It's Sinai.
This is true. I am not certain how that would work.
I support Israel being allowed to live without being subjected to terrorist attacks. Particularly by a terrorist group that is getting arms and support from Iran.
You are welcome to your opinion.
15 minutes more than Hamas ever gives, and you know it.
And? Giving someone fifteen minutes to vacate their house before it's destroyed is still an objectively shitty thing to do.
Never claimed Israel was without fault. I do claim that as a government, a military, and a culture they are morally superior to the Palestinians, and what we've been witnessing from the news media these last few days is clear evidence of that.
You can peddle that propaganda elsewhere. I'm not buying.
See post 4 if you want to read what Hamas aspires to be.Of course you won't, you prefer conformation bias to support your biased view but just so you cannot claim you have never been shown how or why............

The problems starts with Hamas using civilians as shields. And are you going to pretend that Hamas limits its activities to only military targets?
Quickly.
And that's a very good thing. I shudder to think of the loss of life should real weapons ever be in the hands of Hamas.
So the killing of Palestinian civilians is justified because they are culturally inferior to Israelis, is that what you are saying?
No, I'm not.
"Germany reviews aid for Palestinians as Scholz assures Netanyahu of support
Germany is reviewing its hundreds of millions of euros of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territories, Development Minister Svenja Schulze said Sunday.
She said although Germany had been careful to check that the donor money was only used for peaceful ends, the nature of the current attack by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas marked a "terrible turning point."
"We will now review our entire engagement for the Palestinian territories," Schulze said.
Germany would discuss with Israel how development projects in the region could best be served, but she added it was also in the country's interest for people in the Palestinian territories to be able to live in stability in the long term.
German development commitments currently total €250 million (around $265 million) and include funds for water supply and sanitation, health care, food security and job creation.
Half of that for bilateral projects via Germany's overseas aid agency and development bank, and the other half for the UN agency for the Palestinians, UNRWA.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and assured him of German support.
Scholz said Israel had the right to defend itself after the "barbaric attacks."
The German leader also planned to speak with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, supporting Egypt's efforts to mediate and de-escalate the situation.
As a precaution, authorities have increased the protection of Israeli and Jewish institutions in Germany."

You absolutely would not feel that way if you were a Palestinian.
Then what point exactly are you trying to make by saying that the Palestinian Arabs are culturally inferior to Israelis?
Then that would mean you would be against your own country the most, seeing as it has committed more state terrorism than anyone else since the end of WW2. But you won't because you are evidently highly selective about these things.
Of course you won't, you prefer conformation bias to support your biased view but just so you cannot claim you have never been shown how or why............

Those people you are trying to refer to in the above were kids when Israel stole their houses in 1948 and thereafter, so no. I am talking about the current residents of Gaza who are virtually all children of Refugees and/or elderly refugees themselves. Over half the population are under 18, most, a vast majority have never left the strip and have suffered all the attacks by the IDF their entire lives.
Oh please!! lol Talk about being unaware.
But let's play this theme out. The tap bombs you are referring to are a great PR tool for Israel but the context/reality of the situation is left out in many analyses.
1. It is illegal under international law to deliberately target civilian buildings . The focus on the tap takes away the focus on an attack on a civilian structure that has likely killed dozens of innocent civilians.
2 Even if people hear the tap amid the carnage of Israeli air /tank strikes all around them, how many actually have time to get out before the strike comes in?
3 They may leave one building and get hit traveling towards another one which might have had a tap or might not that they are unaware of. This happens with the much lauded leafleting tactic.
4 Tell me. What capacity do the Palestinians have to do the same if they wanted to? They have no facility to do it period.
That the lack any respect for basic human rights even among their own people, never mind the people of Israel.
