Hamas Attacks, Israel Responds

It would totally be easy, if not for those damn Israelis!

 

I suppose you could say peace is "simple", but that's different from "easy."

 

Negotiations basically stopped when Netanyahu came back to power in 2009, which was 15 years ago.

And even prior to that, the only meaningful negotiations after 2000 were after Sharon had a stroke, because Sharon had little interest in negotiating either.

 

So does this man need hama propaganda or imam incitements to hate?

To put faces on mere stats:

Ahmad with his three daughters, Tala, Lana and Najla

 

100 dead and 700 injured.

...each day brings more Israeli war crime. Now IDF is shooting starving people as they stand in line for scraps of food...

...IDF deploying mass starvation of entire population as weapon of war...

Nearly every family in #Gaza needs food assistance to survive.

Yesterday, WFP's Deputy Chief @CarlSkau warned the Security Council of imminent famine in northern Gaza unless conditions change.

I disagree. There is a lot of pride involved. I once did a deep study of the Triple Alliance war against Paraguay and it's amazing how far pride takes you down a dark path.

 

I don't get it, is the idea that these were starving people who were killed in a stampede supposed to make it fine/better?

 

I would say that the right political wing needs Hamas. Hamas also needs further IDF incursions although they may have overdone it this time. The alternative is that the burgeoning Israeli economy could partner with a Palestinian state much like the relationship that the US has with Canada and Mexico. I understand that there are Palestinians that want to build that relationship but they are still a minority.

 

There is a blockade in which food hasn't gotten through to people in months, and children have died of starvation. Of course there's going to be a stampede.

I sincerely hope that you're never that hungry.

 

Perhaps the “state of Palestine” could try laying down their arms and releasing the hostages?

 

Here's the video of the event.
My take is that this is evidently a stampede to the trucks and the soldiers got spooked.

According to the IDF they were injured or killed due to "pushing and trampling," pic.twitter.com/TEPc1USjWV

Regarding the IDF, yes there is a huge difference. Regarding the victims, no of course not.
