What's up with Israel?

The USA has protested the civilian losses to Israel. But really would taps get the job done? The enemy would surely think Israel has no stomach for war. These type cultures see pin pricks as a sign of weakness. Hamas would be emboldened if Israel shows weakness. Just like our piddly sanctions have emboldened Putin. They laugh and make fun of sanctions.

Nightcruiser . Let me ask you this, if a small Palestinian grows up knowing only violence from its neighbors what view do you think he would have of them.

If a small Israeli grows up knowing only violence from its neighbors, what view do you think he would have of them?

Nightcruiser Contrary to what people might believe here not all Palestinians are indoctrinated at birth to hate the Israelis most want to get on with their lives.

As I have stated, I am sure that the average Palestinian wants to live in peace but their governing bodies will make sure this does not happen.

What the Palestinians need to be focusing on is forming a cohesive government. A government that is not corrupt. A government that wants to do business with Israel. Educate their people. Train their people in business and trades.

Exactly

And further, the main point of this whole conflict,
Palestinians receive millions in international humanitarian aid each year. With no discernible economy, Palestinians have no means to acquire arms or build a sophisticated network of tunnels used to attack Israel. Arms, men, and supplies are provided by neighboring Arab nations who use terrorist groups in a proxy war with Israel.Consider war efforts by Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria carried out by Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood to get a clearer picture of the real opponents in this conflict. Portrayals of a David and Goliath contest are intentionally misleading.

And to get a real understanding of what is really up with Israel please watch this video. In it you will understand why Israel came into existence in the modern world and the role it plays. It is chilling and eye opening.

Watch it here...

I would never advocate the killing of any human being, but maybe stop shooting their weapons at Israel and stop using schools, hospitals, and the people in general as human shields. And put your launchers in an open field somewhere that might reduce the casualties a bit. If they want to fight Israel let them do it in the open, rather than keep fighting like a coward would do. I don't like the idea of anyone getting killed, but I don't see where Israel is being given much of a choice.....

Now that makes sense TY

Seems to me that when the UN created the state of Israel in 1948 after World War II they fucked up and put it in the wrong place. Why plonk them on a small patch of land in the middle of the Arab world?

If you watch the video I posted you will see that it was originally planned that Israel would exist in Uganda.

Well that paints a pretty grim picture, according to that theory all the death and suffering has barely started.
