The Intifada's threatenes Israel's existence. Hamas tossing rockets into civilian areas threatens Israels existence.

This is just incoherent so its hard to accurately respond to. "greater Israel" is something I've never heard of and I take it that its taken from some weird Balkan "greater Serbia" propaganda.

How can Isreal be inaccurate that they're not under attack when the rockets are being launched at them. I don't know what you consider "harsh retaliation" but Israels air strikes are the most moral attacks the world has ever seen.

drooping leaflets about when you're going to bomb and phoning ahead to the building they're going to bomb is worlds ahead of what anyone has ever been expected to do.

What in the fuck do you think "unguided firework bombs with shrapnel" are? They're rockets that are made in Iran and shipped over to Hamas.

This isn't disputed by anyone even the harshest critics of Isreals responses to Hamas. You can accuse them of fireing at civilians when they're aiming them twords civilian centers. They're doing this to kill civilians and the fact that you're saying that they're hoping that it kills Israeli babies is whats fucked up. Then you go insulting Palestinians saying how they don't deserve freedom.

If you have any proof about your last point I would very much enjoy seeing that. The west gains very much by supporting a country that values women over countries that don't value women. The west gains very much from supporting a country with a modern capitalist industry over those that can't get past the "you can't kill people who disagree with you stage" of nation building.

GENEVA (AP) — Doctors Without Borders says it took the wrenching decision not to formally inform Syria's government or its Russian allies about the location of some medical facilities like one hit by a deadly airstrike this week.

The charity says repeated attacks against health facilities during Syria's five-year civil war has led medical staffers to ask the group not to provide GPS coordinates of some sites like one in the town of Maaret al-Numan hit four times in attacks Monday, killing at least seven people. Eight remain missing.

MSF, as the group is known by its French acronym, says the responsibility to avoid hitting civilians rests with combatants.

MSF operations director Isabelle Defourny says she expects some medical staffers now will ask that their sites' locations be specified to government officials.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon disclosed on Thursday that U.S. officials asked Russia to avoid bombing broad areas of northern Syria where several dozen U.S. special operation forces have been working with Syrians fighting the Islamic State group.
The request, which had not previously been revealed, goes beyond what the Pentagon calls its "memorandum of understanding" with the Russians to avoid inadvertent military air collisions over Syria.
...

Brown is commander of U.S. Air Forces Central Command, responsible for U.S. air operations across the greater Middle East.

Brown said the Russians have identified airfields in Syria "that they don't want us flying close to." He said those are beyond where U.S. planes normally operate, "so, that hasn't been an issue."

Cook said the request to Russia that its warplanes avoid areas where U.S. troops are operating was made with troop safety in mind. He would not say when the U.S. request was made or who in the Pentagon made it.

"I'm not going to get into details other than to say that there was an effort made to protect the safety of our people from the risk of Russian airstrikes," Cook said. "And that those steps were taken, and those so far have been honored."

U.S. and Russian military officials have held talks in Geneva ahead of a wider U.N. meeting on Friday aimed at trying to secure a cessation of hostilities in Syria, diplomats said.

The unannounced bilateral meeting was aimed at narrowing positions before the two powers jointly chair a United Nations meeting on the issue, they said, declining to give details.

"The idea of the whole exercise is for Russia and the United States to have a joint view," a diplomat close to the process told Reuters.

BEIRUT — A meeting of the international coordinating group charged with implementing a cease-fire in Syria was cancelled Friday, Russia's foreign ministry said, delaying any reduction of hostilities and raising further questions about the workability of the truce.

The coordinating group was due to convene in Geneva Friday but called off the meeting, the office of Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. She was not immediately available to comment on why the meeting had been cancelled.

MOSCOW,— Russia speaks out in favor of the territorial integrity of Syria and Iraq.

The emergence of Kurdistan will lead to the disintegration of these two countries, as well as of Turkey, Russia’s Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin told Kommersant-FM radio and the Kommersant daily.

“We support the territorial integrity of Syria and the territorial integrity of Iraq, and, of course we respect the Kurds,” Churkin said.
...

“That is, we believe that the Kurds should meet their specific needs, but this should not lead to the disintegration of states. Otherwise, things may come to aggravating various crisis phenomena,” the diplomat said.

“If they begin to build Kurdistan, this could lead to the breakup of three countries – Turkey, Syria and Iraq,” Churkin said.

NEW YORK, United Nations,— Western powers Friday rejected a Russian bid at the United Nations to halt Turkey’s military actions in Syria, as France warned of a dangerous escalation in the nearly five-year conflict.
...
Moscow presented a draft resolution that “strongly demands” an immediate end to cross-border shellings and plans — supported by Turkey — for foreign ground intervention in Syria.

But the text failed to garner support from key council members with at least six countries including veto-wielding France and the United States rejecting it outright during a closed-door meeting, diplomats said.

US Ambassador Samantha Power accused Moscow of trying to “distract the world” from its air campaign in support of the Syrian regime and urged it to abide by UN resolutions supporting a peace process.

“Russia must understand that its unconditional support to Bashar al-Assad is a dead-end and a dead-end that could be extremely dangerous,” French Ambassador Francois Delattre said.

It is also completely irrelevant. Erdogan wants to bomb kurds, so he will find a way to make sure that anything that happens will be based on a kurdish plot. Facts are not really important to this.
