It still doesn't excuse Hamas being a bunch of self-righteous sociopaths.

What now? The U.S. does not support ISIS / ISIL / IS, and the Iranians don't support them either. Re: Dark Elf, you're an ignorant internet f**kwad with a bone to pick about sh*t you don't understand in the slightest, so I'm not going to respond to you further.

Good points Steve and the thing is if you threw a ton of money at the Palistinians the Hamas would just use it for weapons because their ultimate goal is to wipe Isreal off of the map. So what do you do? Isreal is not going to be pushed around after the Holocaust and I say the more power to them. |

And what about this ISIS that is supported by our current US authorities? They're fighting the Shiites in the Middle East...

Nice selective Wiki -- if only there wre only a hundred thousand more protesting the heinous acts perpatrated by Islam across the world, then perhaps you would actually be in context with what I said. But your boy, the Ayatollah Shirazi, is a real peace of work. He advocates stoning women in most cases of adultery and believes the Holocaust is a superstition. The "holy man" even believes dogs are evil and should be banned from Islamic households. |

Russia is not a problem. Israel is not a problem either. The problem is the US and their banksters. As always. They accept any war if they make money. Goddamn motherf**kers. |

I do feel for both nations and their casualties but not necessarily for their political leaders. And of course the west, through the centuries, has only looked at its own benefits from the region, thereby letting the problem continue to grow. Simple condemnations of practice and illegal activity do not really help. A solution could arise when the big powers get interested in something like this |

I think you missed the point. I'm applying the obsessive ethnocentric paranoia of Israel to Europe, where the justification would seem pretty hollow. Russia may want its lost territories back, but starting a shooting war with Russia over that belief would be pretty goddamn nuts. //EDIT: It's also important to remember that people often have beliefs in what should be that they are not really interested in attempting to enact. Christians believe everyone should be godly Christian people, but they aren't posting themselves outside houses and shooting anyone who doesn't leave for church on time.

So yeah, totally supportive, eh?
OK? |

It always amazes me that Muslim crowds will protest en masse against Israel or the U.S., but when it comes to Islamic groups perpetrating atrocities across the world, often against other Muslims, you couldn't find a single one who will voice dissent.
Where is the Islamic outrage over Boko Haram abducting hundreds of teenage girls, or ISIL blowing up mosques and slaughtering other Muslims? Not a peep. Muslims need to be quarantined. |

Oh, and Russia wants to annex the old empire again. Guess we should get out the guns, eh? You're not really getting anywhere with the paranoia argument. Well, except maybe deserving the endless war you make in the process. (Also, lol @ bolded.) Edited by Gamemako - July 26 2014 at 17:00 |

That is the absolute key to this. This will never be solved as long as Israel's neighbours, most of whom are run by utter lunatics, terrorists, or religious fanatics, have, at their core, the constitutional right to destroy Israel. People such as Svetonio, and his like, should realise that if they were governed by Islamists, they would not last two minutes. Why? Because most Trots, Stalinists, or other such people, are dedicated atheists. What do Islamists do to atheists? Erm..............

I really can't be arsed to debate right now... Plus I don't know enough about the subject (my position is supporting Palestine at the moment, but that may change, or may not, once I know a lot more). However, I improvised the score to a film (along with a bass player and a drummer) that covers this very issue, so I feel it's probably relevant.

In short, it's because they're insane religious zealots at war with insane religious zealots with a whole lot of people caught between. As long as the zealots fight each other, the bystanders have to hide with the zealots or be killed by the other zealots. Seek peace and you'll end up like Yitzhak Rabin. This is part of why Israel is a creepy, self-defeating, and ironic brand of nationalist. I've come to the conclusion that the only way to solve this long-term is by international force of arms. Israel will not ever solve this problem, and no-one else can do anything because Israel holds the greater economic and military power. This remains in perpetuity until enough people get fed up and destroy Israel. There is no other outcome without international involvement. Edited by Gamemako - July 26 2014 at 15:30 |

It's a horrible situation for Israel and the Israelis. But they have the technology not to bomb hospitals and schools that they know are UN run and kill children and UN staff that they have been told are there. I just don't know what they think they will achieve? Even if there are terrorists and missiles there then they will soon be replaced. By killing children all they do is create new 'terrorists' for the future. When 4 year olds start holding a grudge then you know you are in trouble. I try and imagine what Ireland would be like now if when the IRA had bombed London we had then started sendin missiles over to Ireland. I suspect that things would be very different. The only thing that has even the slightest chance of success is 'jaw jaw'. |

I'm not sure how you solve this matter when Isreal's enemies believe that Isreal should not exist.

Thank you guys for your support! I know it's hard to see what's actaully going on when you look at the numbers of casualties. The man's first instinct is to go with the weaker side and the one who got much more casualties on his side, but guys there's a bigger story here. For everyone who have an opinion, that'll be nice to hear some suggestions to solve this matter. |
