Did the Israeli Government hand out candy? Did the Israeli people celebrate in the streets?

Nope, instead of handing out candy, the Israeli hands out bombs. To the people of Gaza. Killing over 200 people. Of which 80% are innocent civilians.

So, which side is more brutal? The one that 'celebrates' the murder of 3 people with candy and cheering, or the side that responds by murdering hundreds of people.

So Israel is to blame for Al-Queada, Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS?

Israel has to carry most of the can for the founding of Hamas and a good proportion of the blame for Hezbollah, which was founded due to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in the early 1980's.

Al-Queada ? Maybe a little, due to the sheer fact that Israel exists.

BTW. Did someone get sent for a "holiday" and their posts hidden ?

This thread is all over the place, quotes with no originals, replies to non existent posts etc. etc... What did I miss ?

Probably because a lot of the posts were moved from the other thread 'double standards on violence'.

Innocent people are being killed.

Very sad :(


A 5 months old baby, what in God's name has it done wrong??:(

I don't have anything against Jewish people but they are quite persistent and egocentric at times...:( They also seem to have a strong urge to 'conquer' what they believe is already theirs, but is it really theirs?

Very sad, but .... frequently terrorists hide behind "innocents", or store weapons in places like schools and hospitals.

There is a recent video showing a middle aged Arab claiming to be innocent and asking why Israel bombed his house, turns out he has four sons who were all living in the house, all members of Hamas.


Hamas won a major parliamentary election in Gaza in 2006 and is a legitimate Palestinian organisation.

Israeli attack "obliterated" el-Wafa rehabilitation hospital in the Gaza Strip

Staff managed to evacuate the hospital (whilst under fire) last night but...

without Wafa, which specialises in brain + spinal injuries, 200 people in Gaza would die every yr

Yeah, that's my doing. The Double Standards of Violence thread was taken way off course so I moved as many of the posts as practical over here.

Any explanation as to why it was targeted? Or are they going to claim that the people undergoing treatment were Hamas and deserved it?

Since this is board policy and not an individual action I assume I can comment. Why delete all posts of a banned member? If they were prolific posters it could render threads nonsensical. Especially if they started the thread.

The only "explanation" I can find is that...

Wafa hospital stood on the eastern edge of the city. With 4 floors it offered a vantage point over Israeli positions


which suggests it was deliberate... collateral damage is so rarely that convenient after all... :(

It is because banned members could still leave rude messages in their signatures or profile pictures. I guess it was easier to change the code to hide the user, rather than just his or her signature.

Right now, both in the Middle East & Eastern Europe, tragedies are occurring with blame being passed on each side. Move forward in time & any (if at all) explanations will be hotly debated.

However as in any conflict, those explanations are never satisfactory. Being a past student of modern history, I was fortunate to get WWI & WWII. During said student days as well as now, the explanations given for a particular tragedy still cause issues...

...the problem is that being an individual, writing letters to the local rags, or one's member of Parliament or the UN will not & has not stopped the tragedies from occurring.

Dresden Firestorm

Man's inhumanity to man will continue until we evolve to the point where we realise that conflict is pointless, until then...

No idea Gary *sigh* you tell me :) No actually - don't worry, I'll find out, but every hospital I've ever been in has had a basement.

Israel just announced you haven't seen anything yet. If Egypt would annex Gaza this wouldn't be happening. No Arab country wants them for good reason.
