    Thank you for showing you believe collective punishment is acceptable (guess you really aren't a lawyer, mail boy). The blockade does nothing to hinder Hamas' capabilities in acquiring munitions/rockets. The blockade DOES collectively punish ALL the inhabitants of Gazans by depriving them of basic human needs such as water, food, and clothing.

    You're making this too easy for me.

    Why are you only outraged about what Muslims do? I haven't seen a single post from you criticizing anyone else. Oh that's right... It stems from you bigotry.

    This thread regards Israel and it's current state of affairs with Gaza. Nothing in this thread has anything to do with Northern Iraq or ISIS, despite your futile attempts to deter the topic (probably because you are inadequately prepared to debate the topic without resorting to logical fallacies and childish insults).

    Wow, you create threads on how horrible Muslims are seemingly every other day and you're here criticizing someone for their unbalanced criticism? That's pretty funny.

    Israel is not doing anything different from what Obama has done. The only way to deal with terrorists is to take them out. Obama killed Osama Bin Laden. Israel is killing Hamas terrorists, after having been extremely patient and restrained for a long time. It's sad that civilians are affected because the terrorists are taking them hostage. But Israel has a right to protect itself.

    What land has Obama been occupying for 60 years? Excellent parallel Jazz fan, sounds like it was written by Dick Cheney himself.

    The "occupation myth" does not justify terrorism.

    Let's not forget Israel attacked Gaza first because it thought Hamas killed those three teens. Israel doesn't have a shred of evidence that it was Hamas. Just an accusation.

    Do you know the history? Thousands upon thousands of Palestinians were slaughtered - women and children - after being rounded up. Refugee camps bombed. Ethnic cleansing was openly carried out as the intended purpose as a policy to create a Jewish state. Hundreds of thousands of people were forced to remove their home.

    This is just one example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Palestinian_exodus_from_Lydda_and_Ramle#Massacre_in_Lydda

    It's sad that someone like yourself doesn't know the history of the conflict and thinks only in modern terms.

    Israel rightly retaliated against Hamas for murdering the three teens. Hamas then once again increased their indiscriminate firing of rockets against Israel civilians, which is an expression of their blnd hate against Jews. Only then was Israel forced to resort to a ground invasion, in order to set back the terrorists' infrastructure and take out some of the terrorists. Unfortunately, there is no other way to deal with terrorists who subscribe to a death cult ideology.

    Did you not read my post correctly? Israel had no proof that Hamas killed those teens. Or even a Palestinian. And you say they "rightly" retaliated? What's wrong with you?

    Is that really the only way to deal with terrorists? Has it helped? A nation may have right and even be justified in taking out terrorists like that, but that is a far different thing than being an effective way at dealing with the problem.

    It has shown to be anything but effective in dealing with the problem. Israel has not stopped or slowed rockets from being launched at them in the future.

    A more effective way to deal with terrorists might be to erode support for terrorist organizations.

    The case can certainly be made that Israel has the right to do what they are doing. But I haven't seen you or anyone make the case that it is an effective way to deal with it. All it does is scratch the itch of revenge and the need to do something and take action.

    The exact same argument can be made against Hamas and their rocket launching. It does nothing for them, and doesn't help them accomplish any of their goals. They have a right to fight against the oppression and discrimination Palestinians face, but that method does nothing to make their lives any better.

    The morning after.....

    Neshana: Babe, you pulled the blanket last night for yourself and I was left with just a small portion of it.

    Habibi: My mom gave it to me so I should be able to use it as much as I want

    Neshana: That's it, were going to buy 2 twin size beds that are adjoined with matching sheets for each other. That way, we can have a division.

    'Occupation myth'? ROFL

    Please keep making these asinine posts. They're actually proving my points for me.

    According to some theories of morality, sure, according to others, you'd be doing wrong if you didn't. Then again, if you understood the many different concepts of morality, you'd know that. Just because your moral code tells you to do one thing when you play the trolley game doesn't mean that's the only correct answer.

    What I do know is that a plurality of Palestinians support a terrorist government....that's not a way to achieve a two state solution.


    Perhaps you should step aside and let the grown ups talk. If you don't understand what's being said, just bow out gracefully instead of proving to everyone that you are a fool.

    This is all pretty surreal. Israel is committing suicide and it is one big gruesome, epic fail on the international stage. What fascist loons

    committing suicide would be allowing 100 rockets a day to be shot at your country.

    Are you israeli? If so, you should be ashamed. Bunch of monstrous fascists, where are the moderate Israelis? They've been silenced and marginalized by a majority of wackos

    Yeah, what they are doing seems to be the exact opposite of suicide, but not according to our resident Baghdad Bob's.
