so that means a 100:1 kill ratio while bombing schoolchildren is okay
Maybe Hamas shouldn't fire rockets off the top of school buildings and use schoolchildren as human shields?
How about they fight like an army not like a bunch of street thugs?
How about they not hide behind skirts and baby carriages like the cowardly bastards they are?
For such proud "soldiers for Allah," they sure do like to put the women and children in front.
You mean the schoolchildren and Palestininan families killed in airstrikes?
Honestly, you sound like a National Socialist trying to paint the Wehrmacht mowing down Poles with old rifles as a "defensive" manuver. Do you really think poorly made, inaccurate explosives are any threat to even the weakest third-world force?
Hamas are monstrous, but history has clearly shown that the Israeli state is no better.
So your response to cowards using human shields is to never, ever retaliate because the shields will be killed?
Every single solitary death of a schoolchild is the direct result of the Hamas cowards using schoolchildren as human shields. Hamas has been responsible for the deaths of far, far more Palestinians than the Isrealis because of their policy of using schools as weapon storage and rocket launching sites and schoolchildren as human shields.
Why do schoolchildren burn? Because Hamas derives benefit from using them as human shields, then relying on useful idiots to spread the news that "Israel kills schoolchildren! They're monsters!" No. Hamas are monsters. They care more about killing Jews than the lives of their own children.
Literally. They will let schoolchildren be killed just so they can show the carnage on TV, and have some ignorant sap talk about Israeli aggression.
I do not think Israel has *any* right to exist; their existence is the result of a massive and systematic land theft that easily ranks among larceny such theft as the the American Southwest from Mexicans (note I said Mexicans, not the Mexican state) and the American West from Native Americans.
Cry me a river. They were given the land and they steward it well, and have utterly destroyed the attempts of other nations to take it back. 1948 was a long time ago and land was split up after a devastating war, and quite frankly if you till the land, steward it, defend it, and don't go rampaging against your neighbors, it is no one else's place to take it from you, regardless of how you originally got it. It's 2009. Talk about how "Israel has no right to be there" is a massive load of bullshit. They've controlled and stewarded the land for over 50 years, and the only reason they've ever gone to war is to wipe out an aggressing force.
Muslim claims to land in the Middle East via divine right are nonsensical to begin with. Both Judaism and Christianity predate Islam by centuries, thus Jewish and Christian claims to land are inherently older. As I've noted previously, the Palestinians based on their previous historical actions do not actually want either land or peace. Both have been offered and then used as platforms to keep attacking Israel.
A world without "Palestinians" (wherin they are absorbed into Egypt or some other Muslim nation) is a more peaceful world solely because any attack on Israel has to come from an established nation, which is far easier to retaliate against than a collection of terrorists and dissidents. But since the other political leaders of the Middle East use the "Palestinian issue" as a bludgeon against Israel and to stir up their own nationalistic support, it's better for them if the Palestinians never get a state for that exact reason. Saudi, Egypt, and Iran never have to bloody their hands, but they receive the benefit of a nationalistic Jew-hating fervor.
Interestingly that didn't work for Armageddonjad this time, which is why his repression in the wake of the "election" has been so ham-handed. We may never find out why he's tried so hard to make this an international incident, though it probably has something to do with the fact he knows his greatest possible prior opposition, the United States, is now run by a Chamberlain-esque moron more interested in apologizing and "talk" than taking any stand whatsoever.
In the Middle East, Western precepts of diplomacy are considered laughable. Just like when Israel signs a "cease-fire" with Hamas it means "free time to resupply weapons and reorganize our terrorist network," Iran views "diplomacy" as "buying time smiling politely and lying through your teeth while expanding the nuclear program." Actually, that's how most dictators operate. Because they employ force and intimidation in the advancement of their goals, those are the only things they understand.
