195 reported dead civilians on Palestinians side.
195 reported dead civilians on Palestinians side.
1 on Israel's side
I know where my sympathy lies ...
That's what happens when you bring a knife to a gunfight.
The Palestinians would attract more flies with honey than they would vinegar.
Please read post #17. Hamas wants civillian women and children to be killed by Israeli forces. They sacrifice there women and children for propaganda purposes hoping to tug at your heart strings and garner condemnation from the UN and the rest of the world. Why elese would they fire rockets from densely populated urban areas?
Laila,
At this time, there is no information that suggests that all 195 Palestinians killed were civilians. Reuters
Meh, im just pissed at Brown's response.
'expresses concerns'
For gods sake condemn the attacks :roll:
Yeah, and if he does, Hamas uses that for propaganda to show evidence that they are breaking the West's resolve.
It does seem that Hamas is the one that keeps breaking the cease fire agreements.
Its not Hamas rockets that are killing civilians but Israel's.
Everytime a attack happens, do you notice that more civilians seem to die compared to actual militants?
Hamas will use anything for propaganda, i want my PM to show some form of backbone and morality. Condemn both sides
US is clearly not going to condemn, i want EU and UK PM to do it.
What would you have Israel do? I know you would have them die, cease to exist, every last man, woman and child Israeli.

And what would be gained? Do you think either side really cares what they think?
Where do you get that from?
Yes Sgt, that is what i want.
All Israelis to die ...
:doh :roll:
I got it from BBC.
Hence why i said 'reported' not 'confirmed'
Ok then you don't want them to die. What would you have Israel do? The government is responsible for protecting its people. The people are under attack by an enemy that wants them all dead. Day after day after day of rocket attacks raining down from Gaza. What would you do if you were in charge of Israel?
Thanks for the clarification, Laila.

Look Laila, I know you have a good heart, And I know you don't want innocent people dead, Palestinian or Israeli. But you are the one that said "I know where my sympathy lies". As a Jew what am I to think?
Honestley?
I don't blame Israel for wanting to retaliate but can they not have gone by it in a different way? How about not stupidly using bombs/air raids in civilian areas. Do they not realise that just possibly, there may be civilians there?
Yes they were provoked but there is no justification when more civilians are being reported killed than Hamas soldiers. No justification at all and all Israel has once again suceeded in doing is once again giving the militants a PR boost and shooting themselves in the foot.
Bob,
This was a massacre. The targets were mostly police stations as evident by the uniform the dead were wearing. This is not the first time these buildings were targeted. Most were destroyed when Abbas was in control before in Gaza. A lot of damage was also done to civilian areas as most police stations are in civilian areas.
I feel sympathy for the Israeli, i believe every life regardless of religion is precious but when i said 'sympathy' i was also partly saying, support.
I am more inclined to support Palestinians atm over Israel because of the fact the death toll seems higher on one side.
Hamas rockets rain down on civilian areas. Hamas does not differentiate between civilian and military targets. We are all apes and pigs and should be exterminated.

Yet it seems that despite all the rockets Hamas chuck. Not many Israelis die.
When Israel seems to do the 'retaliating' the figures goes into double digits
Do you not see a problem there?
