You are saying that the UN school (that Israel was told about 15 times or so) was an ammunition bunker? So why haven't I heard this before anywhere else? I think you implied the same about the last UN School that israel bombed afterwards claiming it was an error. |

But the civilians who fled their homes to UN schools and hospitals are also being bombed! You say they warn them to leave their homes; they flee their homes and Israel bomb the schools and hospital they flee to! Were they hiding ammunition? The damage done by Israeli rockets is completely disproportionate; if my home is being attacked by rockets I don't respond by randomly blowing up innocent men women and children who had nothing to do with it. You say its a war but the civilians being killed are nearly all Palestinian; there's no equal war here. There one's country using high caliber rockets killing thousands against a weak impoverished people firing weak missiles incapable of causing the damage Israeli rockets can cause. It's completely disproportionate and shows no respect for innocent people who have done nothing to Israel.

Well as was already explained before, first of all civilians who hide ammunition for Hamas or digging tunnels out of their children's room or aiding Hamas in any way are an accomplice. If you're firing rockets out of civilians houses, hospitals, schools and mosques or use them as an ammunition bunker (which is the case here), you're putting all of you're surrounding in danger. People are being told before their houses are gonna be shelled, if you want to be there when it happens it's up to you. But don't expect me not to react if you're hiding behind innocent civilians, if you are an innocent civilian and you care for your family's life go to a different place. Thousands of Israeli civilians who lives close to the border also evacuated, I mean come on you're living in a war zone! Another thing is I don't agree that if your rockets this time didn't cause any damage then I shouldn't react, are you serious? You mean to tell me that if your house is gonna be threatened with missiles every day but nothing happens then your gonna be ok with it? I won't believe it for a second. I'm sure you haven't fully grasp or knew but Israel is under missiles attacks from Gaza for 14 years now, suicide bombings for 20 years, the north was under missiles for decades! And various terror attacks including kidnapping and murder. If you'll put together the number of these casualties you'll be shocked! People are calling it a "situation", no buddy it's a war! Are you familiar with any war where civilians weren't killed? Edit: And here's a proof for my explanation for 'why are there so many civilians killed?' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ6S0-o3uFI&feature=youtu.be Edited by Sagichim - July 31 2014 at 01:09 |

So you defend the bombing of the school?! How can you ignore the deaths of innocent men, women and children who have nothing to do with Hamas. Look at the statistics. Over a thousand Palestinians dead, the majority innocent people. This is not a war on Hamas; this is a war on innocent men, women and children. The Palestinians are being butchered and the world, and prog archives, sigh indifferently. I have nothing against the people of Israel but the actions of your government is state sanctioned murder. You say you want to stop terrorist acts; you don't regard the bombing of schools and hospitals terrorists acts? If they were Israeli the world would be in uproar but the Palestinians are left to die. Even the UN has criticized Israel. What your government is doing is completely indefensible. Hamas rockets firing into Israel, that seem to do hardly any damage compare to Israel's, does not give Israel the right to randomly murder innocent men women and children. I can't even believe your going to reply defending their actions; how do you defend schools and hospitals being bombed and children being blown up playing on a beach?!

^ Seems pretty accurate, I'm surprised it's not 99%. The reason for that is that we've seen this movie before, we've been there already, a cease fire is another word for let's reschedule the war for next year. Without a significant progress towards peace or stopping terror acts everybody seems to agree on continuing until either is accomplished. I don't see it happening, I think a cease fire is close.
Btw Israel has agreed to all humanitarian cease fires till now, Hamas didn't. They are not interested in a cease fire just as much as we don't. |

Heard on the news that 92% of Israelis oppose cease-fire. Had trouble finding a source for that exactly, but I did find another like this.

Seems an over reaction to bomb Gazza. He should be left alone, alcoholism is a disease and he needs support.

United Nations officials described the killing of sleeping children as a disgrace to the world and accused Israel of a serious violation of international law after a school in Gaza being used to shelter Palestinian families was shelled on Wednesday. At least 15 people, mostly children and women, died when the school in Jabaliya refugee camp was hit by five shells during a night of relentless bombardment across Gaza. More than 100 people were injured. Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, said the attack was "outrageous and unjustifiable" and demanded "accountability and justice". The UN said its officials had repeatedly given details of the school and its refugee population to Israel. |

Guys, just have a beer together. This is just like the protests that I observed in Boston the other day... Name-calling and irrational emotional responses...

It's a little different here, religion isn't being misinterpreted to be honest, there are no calling for violence in the name of.... All civilians wants their peace, no one here wants or thinks it's a good idea to occupy Gaza, it costs a lot of money, soldiers and civilians are killed and it's not like I can visit there so why do I need it? The country is pretty much divided between the idea of how to ensure this peace. But I can tell you left or right, no one here wants to take anymore sh*t from Hamas. There was always the fear of... how can I be sure that if I'll open the Gaza port and the border to Egypt towards Gaza, that fanatics won't take advantage of it and unleash mega terror acts, I remind you a lot of them don't believe Israel should exist.

You are very clever manipulator of words Gamemako, but how can Sagi be ignorant if he is an Israeli ducking missiles? You are comfortably numb in your peaceful homeland security-protected USA , and that makes YOU ignorant of the issues and ignorant of the definition of the term. We commend your bravery, you are entitled to any opinion even its its ludicrous but accusing someone of what he cannot be is pretty cowardly. You even promised to respond later.........but only with some propaganda video. You are a smart man, and a free one.

Just kind of an outsider's view from many miles away; I have no personal experience of having been there or first hand experience of observing what goes on other than what US media wants me to see. |

^ Well there are a few levels of practice. I'm not sure really but I'll say maybe 50% are not religious but pretty much all of those are celebrating holidays (like me). The rest are religious but of course there are a few levels for that. Some are living a "normal" life having jobs or careers but still observe the sabbath if you know what I mean. And of course some have no jobs except for the job of praying to the lord! Things are pretty complex here but then again kind of simple too.

Sagi, is religion still strongly practiced in Israel? Just curious, if most Israeli Jews are kind of lackadaisical about religion, accept for major holidays, or if the religious views and beliefs are strongly held throughout Israeli's Jewish society.

I think it is possible but there will have to be some major change in the Gaza strip and in their world view. I think Israel can accept all of Hamas terms or at least most of them (some may be too big of a threat on home security so I'm not sure about them). But anyway the big terms should be accepted such as the opening of Rafah crossing, opening Gaza's port and fishing area, and anything that should be of help to the Palestinian people of creating a better life with an evolving economy, they deserve it just as much as we do. I think the better life they will have, there will be the less need for violence, just look at the arab civilians living in Israel in small villages or in bigger cities, they have the same life as Israeli civilians. I'm sure there is still some level of hate but they will have too much to loose if they take any violent actions towards civilians or soldiers. On the other side Hamas and his fellow organizations must cease to exist and in stead there should be some kind of ruling authority like PA, in addition to that their warped upbringing methods of teaching hate and violence towards Israel/Jews must also stop or there will always be some level of terror. There will be no terror attacks of any kind on Israel exactly like there are no more terror attacks coming from Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Of course building of tunnels under the Israeli border is not accepted. The same way Israelis can't visit the majority of arab countries, Palestinians shouldn't be allowed into Israel. Peace.

The only real thing about small members is that people compensate for them with trucks and guns
Really that had so little to do with anything.
