1. Hamas rockets are shite, not like the US rockets the Isreali's are using. Their rockets have not proper aim and if they were indeed firing 40-80 targetted missiles a day on isreali's civilians, there must be loads of casualties, where are they?
I have not seen the videos of the explosions.
2. I hate the word "terrorist" being used and this war on terror has legitimised all these illegal wars and taken many of our rights. In terms of the son of the founding member of Hamas admitting things, I watched the interview yet i have not heard anything from the guy himself, just the reporter reporting on things he said.
3. Civilians are getting fired on.
4. How can one expect to fire and run into isreal and scream "yeah I did it". That definition means that every country that goes to war uses human shields since if a country could send a missile from their country to another, they are not in enemy territory.
5. How do Isreal know the weapons are in the house? Its just an excuse to bomb the houses. If they are so concerned about the civilians why do they hinder humanitarian aid to Gaza?
A bunch of uselss responses...
1. Saying that hamas weapons suck as a rationalization on why it's ok for them to fire them is the worst argument ever. The reason not that many people get hurt is because EVERY house in israel has a bomb shelter inside. They also have advanced alarm system that give residents 20 seconds to find shelter when a rocket is fired. Why doesn't hamas use the millions of dollars that Iran gives it to provide for Gaza instead of making weapons? Do you think there would be any shortage of food and supplies then? Doubt it.
Basically your argument is for Israel to wait until Hamas has more advanced weapons, and THEN attack? Hamas just uses Cease Fires to re-arm and regroup. Why do you think they have rockets that are more dangerous than they did before the cease fire.
And what about suicide bomberS? Are those not deadly enough for you?
2. watch again and get your head out of your ass. And watch the FULL interview that aired, those were just excerpts...
3. Civilians are not being isolated as sole targets of airstrikes. They may die as collateral damage, but thats what happens when their next store neightbor uses their alley to launch rockets and they don't care.
4. Sorry, but other wars are waged on a battlefield. Or if hamas is so confident, why don't they invade israel? The answer is b/c they will be obliterated and won't have any more propoganda of their civilians getting killed. Please tell me one other war where the atacker atacks from within it's own densly populated area and then complains when being attacked back? Doesn't happen outside of the Arab world.
5. I already answered this before. I have freidns IN the israeli army who have expereinced this first hand, and have even participated in these types of raids. They get the intelligence from palastinians looking to make a buck or that are loyal to other groups, or from their own undercover ops. There is a reason israel has one of the most powerful militaries in the world. They have solid intelligence.
Again, i am still looking for you to place at least some blame on Hamas. Just look at the world. How many jews around the world Kill people when people publish mocking cartoons about them in newspapers? How many plan attacks on Arab embacies? How many kill Jews in rival groups? How many send death threats to Arab schools (The schools in Chicago which my brothers and sister in law go to just got threats to attack them if Israel doesn't pull out of Gaza, As did my daughter's Daycare, which has kids ages 1-5.) All that shit is just plain crazy. Normal, sane people don't do any of that. Hamas does it all. And they do it in the name of their god. Yet you see no wrongding in any of Hamas's actions. It's time to wake up and face the reality that Hamas is a group of islamic extremists that want to Kill israelis and Jews anyware in the world at all costs. I've expereinced it first hand (Aside from my daughters daycare getting threats, i have a friend who was shot by a Hamas terrorist in an Israeli shopping mall in 2001. She barely lived and has had 15 surgeries. She was not even Israeli, just an american tourist). Look at what happened this week, a Palestinian shot 2 israelis in a mall in (i think) Belgium. Israels around the world don't attack Arabs b/c they have no problem with them.
Sure, i feel bad for Palestinians caught in the crossfire. But i also know that many of these Palestinians elected Hamas and share the same ideologies. I don't hate Arabs or Palestinians or any other nation/religion. I just hate people that want to harm me and my family just because i was born a religion that their religion commands them to kill. I'm sure many people in Israel feel the same way.
If Israel really wants to win in the long run they need to have a strategy to fight Hamas propoganda. Tjhey need to reach out to Palestinians and do positive things for them.
The problem is that none of that is possible with Hamas in power, or even existing. Because they want nothing to do with peace. Israel left gaza, and even forcefully uprooted it's own jewish settlers living there. What did they get in return? Rocket fire. No steps towards peace. Israel needs to stop bending over backwards for a group that will try to kill them no matter what consessions they make and fight back.
