This is not in dispute but the Israeli response to non-stop barrage of rockets is not vengeance and is not eye for eye but self-defense. An internet troll declaring it vengeance just does not make it so. Duh! See if you can take a few logic classes.
An internet troll declaring it vengeance does not make it so. A military response to 2.5 years of rocket attacks is self-defense.
Retaliation is not self defense. It is an act of vengeance. The action is not defensive, it is meant to punish... Israel retaliates, engages in willful acts of reprisal...not acts of self defense.
Obama says US should not meet with Hamas SAN ANTONIO - Democratic US presidential candidate Barack Obama on Monday backed the Bush administration's policy of shunning contact with the Islamic militants of Hamas in its Middle East peace diplomacy. "You can't negotiate with somebody who does not recognize the right of a country to exist so I understand why Israel doesn't meet with Hamas," Obama told reporters during a campaign stop in San Antonio, Texas. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3514533,00.html
Good grief. You hit me, I hit you back but harder. I should have responded with the exact same amount of force. God forbid I respond in a way to discourage you from hitting me again. That would make me "vengeful." Troll logic. Utterly devoid of reason.
This is not actually what he's saying, it's not a matter of proportional response to him. He simply refuses to say what he thinks Israel should have done to stop rocket attacks. He has no answer, no guts to admit that he has no answer and besides it's easier to troll if he does not offer an alternative course of action. No wonder there is not a single person on this forum who does despise this disgusting weasel.
You are a sucker for some fine killing hapaboy. Never mind the fact that thirty kids, some of them are less than 2 months old, were among the killed. The bottom line, it gives you, and the other bitch, satisfaction to pick on civilians who are caged in Gaza and are on the receiving end of the forth strongest army on earth. Your like cannot express their bravery but on two months infants ripped apart by 2 tons bombs. And just before you put on your GI Joe costume and wave a plastic M-16 in front of the mirror fanaticizing about your latest victory against them two months old evil doers, you might be interested in knowing the following; Thirty people have died in the last month for lack of medical care brought on by the embargo. Only two weeks ago, we saw the appalling sight of over 40 women and children seriously injured when an Israeli F-16 dropped an enormous bomb in the middle of the densely populated Gaza City, a few meters from a wedding party. Just in the last two years, 2,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli military action and thousands more injured. The cold-blooded fact is that the ratio of Palestinian deaths to Israelis is now over 40 to 1. What you are forgetting while being busy day dreaming about ripping 2 months old infants to shreds, the Hamas-led government has consistently called for a long-term cease-fire. For nine months before the election that brought this zionist government into power, they observed a unilateral ceasefire, ensuring that no rockets were fired from Gaza by. They observed this policy during the first six months in that zionist government, despite the fact that words and actions were summarily dismissed by the Israelis and their U.S. allies. If the people of Sderot want to know why rockets continue to land around them, they should ask their own government why it has continually rejected calls for a cease-fire and continued its policy of daily incursions and reckless targeting that put the whole population at risk. Before you celebrate your victory, why don't you ask your master why are the cranes and bulldozers still busy in the settlements on our land in the West Bank. Neither is there any sign that the numerous checkpoints that are crippling our economy and social life are being dismantled. You, like dddooo, are a bunch of cowards hapaboy. You know it and your boss knows it.
Par for the course, an entire post that is nothing but an attempt at retaliation on a personal level essentially because someone doesn't agree with Israel's retribution based foreign policy... A true microcosm of the disease of the collective mind seen in Israel's revenge oriented belief systems by a single individual who consistently rationalizes the killing of helpless people as righteous, civilized and defensive in nature...
Don't forget to hit harder hapaboy the matcho man. The innocent laughter of six-month-old baby Mohammed al-Bor'i stopped forever on Wednesday night when shrapnel from an Israeli missile and rubble struck the infant in the head, minutes after he enjoyed his last meal. "The baby sucked milk, he was playing with his mother; I was reading a book when a rocket hit the Ministry of Interior," said Nasser al-Bor'i, the baby's father. With the first missile, the electricity was cut and darkness filled the ill-fated house. Stones and pieces of the asbestos ceiling fell onto the head of the laughing child. The explosions continued as two other missiles hit the building. "I looked for my baby in the darkness between the rubble; I did not know where he was. When he cried once I followed the direction of his voice," Nasser al-Bor'i said. "My hands touched my baby who was breathing hard; I felt warm liquid on my two hands and realized that he was wounded." Al-Bor'i carried his son to the nearby Shifa Hospital as the blood streamed from his tiny head. In the hospital, al-Bor'i became hysterical when he realized that his only child had been killed. Tears poured from al-Bor'i's eyes when he saw Mohammed's shoes. "After five years of treatment for sterility, [my wife and] I had a baby. I can't imagine that I lost him in a second." Toys, a plastic bike, a crib and clothes were covered by the heap of rubble inside Mohammed's bedroom. Cutout magazine pictures of laughing babies decorated the walls, a sad reminder of the joy lost in the strike. Mohammed's mother sufered shock and fell unconscious when she realized that the child had died. She laid on a hospital bed while her baby was in the morgue. On Thursday morning she cried when she returned home from the hospital to see Mohammed's empty crib. Mohammed al-Bor'i was not the only child to be killed in the series of Israeli air strikes across the Gaza strip on Wednesday. In the northern Gaza Strip town of Jabalia, three other children, Anas al-Manama, 10, Bilal Hijazi, 11, and Mohammed Hamada, 11, were also killed in an Israeli air strike, Palestinian medical sources reported. At least 19 Palestinian civilians and militants were killed and dozens wounded by the continuing Israeli air strikes on Gaza in the last two days. http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article9345.shtml
