[W:1103] Netanyahu tells Israel ‘We are at war’ after Hamas launches an unprecedented attack on the country - Live Thread.

Two possibilities here: 1. This guy is a fringe nut who should be committed to an insane asylum for life 2. He is speaking the true message of Islam, in which case Islam should be wiped from the face of the Earth.

How 'bout it, Muslims?
I do think he's a fringe nut, but the problem is Islam has a LOT of those fringe nuts!!
 
Israel’s apologists being furious that anyone would condemn the slaughter of Palestinian civilians “because Israel is mad” is pretty freaking lame.
So are your arguments about 'international law' which are useless as the IDF moves into Gaza to kill Hamas cockroaches.

You being furious that the IDF is condemned for slaughtering Palestinian civilians doesn’t change the facts dude.

Are you taking bathroom breaks or do you sit on the john all day making sure you never miss a message that does not agree with your sick support of Hamas?
 
Sure it does. Don’t be silly.

In any event though, we all know this whole schtick of yours is an act.

In any event, your heroes killed way more people than Hamas—-at least two hundred thousand people during during the course of the Albigensian Crusade, which you defend—so your claims are meaningless.

What’s really sick is trying to excuse Israel’s slaughter of Palestinian civilians.
 
You have no idea to which 'international law' you are referring.
To you, it sounds good to remind everyone there is some form of international law which is meaningless to Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah. Ask Putin, whose Russia is a U.N. security member, if he thinks international law means anything to his leadership.

But if that is how you are able to sleep at night then go for it.
Your virtue signaling is all you have right now.
International Law is the mother's skirts the brat kid hides behind right after punching another kid.

And it’s not real anyway. It’s a fiction made by European countries to govern war on the European continent and some more fiction was created to justify hanging Nazis.

in reality none of this applies if the country in question doesn’t want it to
 
International law is what keeps every war from becoming the Eastern Front.
Nazis and Commies fighting to the last man? What's wrong with that?

You might be referring to the Western nations grabbing the initiative in the 1930s and forcibly preventing Nazi Germany from re-arming and threatening all of Europe in the latter 1930s.
The analogy could be what the Western powers should do to Iran to prevent that country from continuing to support the proxy forces such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Houti rebels,and its Republican Guard that is harassing oil freighters in the Strait of Hormuz.
There is no international law which says Western powers should destroy Iran's ability to fund more terrorist groups outside of its territory... But it certainly would be a smart thing to do in order to prevent further tensions in the Middle East.

What skin do you have in this conflict?
Are you a Muslim? Do you have relatives living in Gaza or the West Bank? Did you lose money in a tech startup run by Israeli technologists and now you're seeking revenge.?
Do you live near a synagogue and hate the fact that Islam is a product of the religion of Abraham and Jesus?
Do you have the same protective feelings toward Armenians, Rohingyas, Uyghurs, Kurds, or Yazidis? If not, why not? They're persecuted people condemned to suffer because of their religion. Or perhaps Palestinians are just another ethnic group on your list you are supposed to pity?

Some people are putting on an act because they were washed out of boot camp for psychological unfitness
 
It's not dumb or senseless. Hamas leadership isn't stupid. They know that the likely response to these terror attacks is going to be a full IDF invasion of Gaza. Which means that they committed to this plan, knowing that was going to be the outcome. In other words, it's what they want.

From my perspective it seems pretty textbook dumb and senseless, so, perhaps Hamas and I don't share the same base value judgements.
 
Your point is to blame it all on the Western powers who created Israel?
To which war are you referring ? WW II?
Be more specific.

Your point is that they've never governed themselves to which I replied that they were not really given the chance.
 
So you do sort of admit that the blockade was in response to the actions of the Palestinian people. Though only in a round about way.

Well I guess a little progress is better then none.

The blockade was in response to things that hadn't happened yet, it was a precautionary measure.

It also makes Gaza basically an unlivable prison and terrorist incubation center.

In terms of keeping out weapons, we can't really call it a success if it didn't do it's job, in terms of the policy perpetuating the problems we see over there it's hard to deny.

Again I don't live in the world where it wasn't done so comparisons to that state of affairs are hypothetical.

Extremist Palestinian Muslims have been a chronic problem for a century, I don’t think it was preemptive
 
Gosh, you can never tell which buildings those Hamas varments could be holed up in. If there are no more buildings they won’t be able to hide in them.
Sounds reasonable to me given the circumstances!
You support war crimes. Putting lipstick on a pig does not change that.
Levelling cities and collective punishment are War Crimes
Some here are fine with War Crimes when it is Muslims being killed

Really
Is beheading babies considered a war crime? How about shooting innocent unarmed civilians attending a music festival at point blank range-is that a war crime?
Personally, I think there are different levels of war crimes. Leveling buildings (which can be rebuilt) is FAR BELOW the level of murdering babies while the parents watch then murdering the parents too. 1000+ murdered Israelis.
Leveling Gaza City is fine with me, given the circumstances.
