Saying hamas is just as responsible for the deaths of the 800 Palestinains this week, is akin to saying that a drunken women in a short skirt is resonsible for being raped.
This 'if you act like that we won't be responsible for our actions' is utter crap.'
They are dropping the bombs they are sending inthe tanks they are entirely responsible for every death that occurs from this.
and Hamas have only been on the scene with the Palestinians for the last 5 years or so (previously they were supported by Israel to create difficulties for fatah btw) and the Palestinians plight has been ongoing for 60 years not 5 years or the last 3 weeks.
Turning to hamas is a consequenec of what they have undergone.
Israel has enclosed over a milion refugees in a tiny peiece of land, made them prisoners there, kept them there for 60 years, maintained them in a state of poverty by making them dependent on Israel for everything and then withdrawing and limiting all resources, even the most basic when any dissent is shown, deny them many basic human rights, and then when they understandably try to resist the Israelis are not responsble for thier own actions???????????
WTF planet do you live on MT where this is in any way reasonable action of a state?
They are bombing refugees which they have imprisoned. (80% od gaza citizins are registered with the UN as refugess and Israel has built a wall around Gaza and they are not allowed to leave, so I think this is an accurate and not just emotive statement)and still poeple are reluctant to take sides???
What would Israel have to do for some oele to critise?? to condemn, to judge and stay stop??? What???
800 Plaestininas dead.
13 Israelis.
Without any background just the numbers scream unjustifiable massacre.
The denial that is going on by some of what is being dome to the Plaestinians, puts fear in my heart and makes me understand how people have stood by and watched atrocties happening, denied them even, or found some reasoning for them and turned away.
Soemtimes we have to recognise when huge injustices are being committed and stand up and stay stop.
Apartheid anyone? main huge sense to many white south africans.
This is like them bombing townships. Would you have sat on the fence then MT??
What if before the end of apartheid black south africans had killed 13 white South Africans, so the Governmebt bombed the townships killing 800+ Blacks, theratening to escalate and kill more (as they have today) would you have siad the black south Aftricans and the women and children in the townships who may have supported what they viewed as resistance, desereved it??
Thw white goverenemnet wouldn't have been responsible??
The fact this is being allowed to go on really frightens me, It seems humans can justify and rason anything, just as we have before.
