Hamas still trying to get some victory out of this debacle by sending another rocket at Tel Aviv. However, a battery of Iron Dome which was just commissioned this morning in Tel Aviv took down that rocket down. "Experts" on TV are saying that looking at the mid-air interception explosion video, the rocket is most likely a pathetic attempt at assembling something that can reach Tel Aviv, as it had no munition on it and only a lot of fuel. Good thing our air force destroyed all the Fajr5 missiles they had and we spent years and millions developing a purely defensive weapon system that allows us to suffer minimal actual losses while hundreds of rockets are sent at us each day. And of course, good thing that Hamas is such a failure. | ||

It says a lot about that country (same goes for the US, which gave asylum to many German and Japanese war criminals when it benefited them). | ||

Religion isn't the problem, it's just, unfortunately, used as a motivator for hate because it's something people feel passionately about. That's like blaming a hammer because someone struck their neighbor with it. If it wasn't religion it would be something else. It'll be several dozen lifetimes if ever before that could happen though, even the most secular European country has a majority that's religious. The vast majority of the world is and gets along fine-ish and doesn't mix it's religion with it's politics. It's just a few regions that seem to have issues separating the two. | ||

Opening both borders (to Israel and Egypt) and allowing all goods through And international guaranties that no offensive action of any sort take place in gaza (includes any bombing, be it militants or munitions). Basically something that stands 0 chance of happening. Edit: thought this was worth adding to demonstrate part of the problem the IDF face: Rocket launch now from downtown #Gaza city, neighborhood erupts in cheers and whistles, "takbeer" and "allahu akbar," they shout. #Israel Source: | ||

Media is mostly reporting that Israel is being attacked by Palestine and they are just defending themselves. However, Palestine has suffered many more loses than Israel, has a much smaller army than Israel and has less technology than Israel. I am not taking sides, but it seems clear that Israel is the one attacking Palestine now and Palestine is in defensive mode attempting to retaliate Israel's actions. | ||

Israel is good at telling lies and manipulating people ![]() ![]() a cursory search on google/wiki reveals your figures of "millions of people" are off the mark by orders of magnitudes. this is literally a fact. also, many of the civilian casualties are caused by explosive devices of the insurgents themselves. would you stop hurting the discussion with these mistaken claims? unless of course, you've "seen things", in which case do go right ahead and quote your sources | ||

It's up to Hamas now as for when the fighting will cease. It was always up to Hamas. | ||

This is not a numbers game, the fact remains that had the rockets not been fired in to Israel none of this would have happened. Hamas are not dumb, and they nothing gets the worlds sympathy faster then dead civilians. They fire from civilian ares, hide munitions in civilian buildings. Just as you said, the have less technology and a smaller army, these rockets would have achieved nothing then pissing Israel off, and yet they did it. Also if they were to commit to a cease fire, stop launching rockets, stop massing munitions and stop terror this could all end right now. | ||

It's up to Hamas now as for when the fighting will cease. It was always up to Hamas. Nonono, Israel regularly breaks ceasefire agreements as well. Yes I realize the problems with the sources, but the first one uses different news outlets it directly sources and you are free to show disagreeing sources. For the second one it's unfortunate that they used "enemy got killed" as a signifier for breaking a truce since obviously Hamas regularly attacks Israel without killing anyone and I accept that critique but in light of the 2008 events I have no problem believing that Israel does a fair amount of aggression that is not in retaliation. At least this should let you question whether it's in the control of Hamas to stop the fighting... Actually if Israel would offer a truce right now it's pretty sure that Hamas would take it... Israel has more or less complete control over how this all plays out. [EDIT]: I doubt even if no further rocket is fired by Hamas the incoming operation will stop now. Of course there is no way to see whether this is true but I think it's highly likely that Hamas thinks the same. | ||

Of course there is no way to see whether this is true but I think it's highly likely that Hamas thinks the same. read what i posted about a truce, right now Hamas have no interest as they know that if the fighting goes own long enough public opinion will change with more civilian deaths. Also, electronic intifada is not a reliable source in the least its a propaganda site. The only times when Israel will do bombings is or in response or when there is Intel presented about a incoming attack (such as the ones from Sinai). These "breaking of the ceasefire" in the huffing post fail to mention the IED the hurt a soldier (source) or that those who were hit were preparing to launch rockets or planting explosives in order to hit patrols. | ||

And the Huffington post article is from 2009. Like I said at least try to read what I wrote. I'm not here to fight anybody or to win, I would just love if I could help you to understand the other side better. | ||
