If you had bothered to check further, you would have seen that the two soldiers who have done that were punished and dishonorably discharged. Not only is it not a widespread phenomenon, it was also dealt with. But you're right, the IDF is an army and as such it -will- defend Israeli citizens. So don't expect Hamas to fire rockets at Israeli cities FOR EIGHT YEARS and the IDF to do nothing. Any other military would've wiped Gaza off the map after the first rocket. | ||

Oh please. No wonder you're being so obstinate. Do you really believe the people arguing with you are chanting "go go Hamas kill the evil Jews? You're justified so launch more rockets!" There are some idiots saying that, but neither WhiteDog nor Leporello nor anyone else that's reasonably intelligent believes Hamas should be launching rockets at Israel. It's just that this goes without saying because any sane person agrees that violence with civilian casualties is really, really bad. Most of the criticism levied at Israel is because they sometimes refuse to take the higher ground and have at times used less-than-appropriate methods to retaliate given their position in the situation. Many think those less than appropriate methods aren't justified. Edit: It doesn't help that Netanyahu seems intent on alienating the entire western world... | ||

Check your fact straight, IDF is not righteous, IDF does not have any ethics, they are just here to kill. The IDF will never be Israel's solution, but you will never be mature enough to understand that. | ||

No one is arguing that Hamas is a terrorist organization. And nobody is arguing that killing civilians is wrong On November 17 2012 03:24 Leporello wrote: But invading Gaza? Wrecking homes of known innocents in the one of the most condense and poor populations on earth? Declaring that all the thousand+ people killed in these invasions -- or even the majority -- are terrorists, without any proof? That is what is argued, and the strawman responses are all the same. It's tiring, and I'm done. Hopefully Israel finishes the job and completely destroys Gaza quickly, as it seems the notion of discretion is to be completely forever disregarded. So they might as well. I'm open to suggestions on what Israel should do. Are you arguing that they should respond completely in-kind? that involves fire random, unguided rockets at civilian populations with the sole intent of killing innocents. Is that the plan? I'm not saying they should invade Gaza either, but at this point I personally think that it is up to the Palestinian people to differentiate the civilians from the terrorists. Israel *will* strike at something in response, and if there is no way for Israel to distinguish Civilians from Terrorists, then no such distinction will be made. Sure, its wrong, but it is also silly to presume something else will happen. Neither side is right in this debate, but honestly I don't know what people expect Israel to do. | ||

A massive majority are killed in street battles, some of which involved air strikes, but a massive majority are not killed in their homes by airstrikes. Still waiting on the source for this. You ran away from the thread as soon as I asked. Is that your strategy? You post lies until someone calls you out then leave the thread for 24 hours to resume? | ||

I know more about the IDF and it's methods then you will ever know, not to mention that I also know - AND HAVE SEEN - to what lenghts the IDF will go to avoid unneccesary casualities. I can't convince you though, since you're so dead set on your way, which is cool. We'll agree to disagree, I won't bother responding to you anymore. | ||

It's bullshit, even the IDF considers that there were 400 civilians killed out of 1100 during the Gaza war of 2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Gaza_War On November 17 2012 03:45 hooahah wrote: I've served in the IDF during Cast Lead.

Maybe accept the 1948 borders? It's the least they should do actually, after all their actions against the peace of the Middle East. | ||

I wonder if this moral of intend would still hold if Hamas did start to "assassinate" Israeli military targets in the same way Israel does (collateral damage in the 1000th)....... (that's not directed mainly at you but it seems the only way to defend Israel is arguing that the sole intend of killing people is actually worse than killing people) As to what Israel can do: when you make an agreement show any effort to hold it. Quite unlike they did in 2008 and quite unlike the Hamas who tried at least to hold their end in the bargain. Like I said before Israel has all the cards in their hand, they can give Hamas any kind of concessions and when Hamas fucks up they can take it away again without problem. Israel does not really need to trust the Hamas at this stage. Hamas on the other hand can do nothing else than to trust Israel, they don't have any option to convince Israel of anything (6 month ceasefire were only worth being attacked right after). How do you expect change to be initiated by Hamas? | ||

This isn't the first thread he has posted this bigoted nonsense in, and it won't be the last. I got tired of him the last thread. And if a guy like zalz even gets tired of him, then I don't know why bother. | ||

Why is go to Israeli defense to an argument "omg bigot anti semite". You realize being critical of a government has NOTHING to do with being a bigot. | ||

People are tired with zalz is how things have always been. From his posts about how "anarchy" in some sub saharian african country is the best possible form of government to his rant on how muslims are all haters. | ||
