“Did the Gazans use up any of their lives shelling and bombing Israel?”
Shelling and bombing what…sand? If it doesn’t matter what harm is ACTUALLY done, was Hitler right? I mean according to him/Goebbels Jews COULD HAVE ruined Germany.
To say more qassams would be fired if they were guided further demonizes Hamas, the group that actually kept its word as Israel broke its. More likely better weapons would be better targeted at IDF military sites (which are never built near civilian centers…right?)
How many civilians has Israel killed WITH its “smart weapons”?
Israelis are hysterics. They act like Germans who, hearing one Jew killed one German, ran amok beating and killing ALL Jews during Kristollnacht. For years Jews said that was wrong. Now they celebrate collective punishment.
If it’s okay to wage “war” on a population with few weapons, what was wrong with the Holocaust? If actual numbers of dead don’t matter (a la Sderot), then why talk about Shoah victims at all. One dead, one million: same difference…right?
So, why no talk about what is provoking Hamas to fire missiles?
Oh, I forget. Israelis can do no wrong. The Holocaust exempts them from ordinary morality. If you criticize them they will call you an antisemite…which makes antisemitism seem kosher.
“Every nation reserves the right to control its borders, and even to build a fence along them if they so choose.”
Israel has no borders (just like it doesn’t have a constitution). It doesn’t want borders because that would end its expansionism.
“Doesn't Gaza share a border with Egypt?”
No. Egypt has a border because it is a state. Gaza has n o border because Israel won’t permit Palestinians to have a state. It wants Palestinian land without Palestinians. Just like Germans wanted Jewish paintings and property and businesses without Jews.
“I'm confused as to why the Egyptians are blockading and starving the Palestinians.”
Simple. Egypt gets $2 billion per year to prop up its dictator. Hamas is allied with the Muslim Brotherhood, which opposes Egypt’s dictator. It won’t help Hamas because the dictator likes his job. The irony is that more and more Egyptians want Mubarak gone.
So, are you confused why Jews helped round up other Jews in WWII? Why some acted like kapos and sonderkommandos? Wherefore "Jewish unity"?
“You know what else has an associated cost? Sitting back and letting the rockets hit.”
So it was right to attack Warsaw Jews who fired bullets at German soldiers who wanted them dead?
What wimps Israelis are. Citizens in other countries have grit. Citizens of fire-bombed German cities kept going. So did buzz-bombed Londoners. Only Israelis (living in modern villas built on stolen land, swimming in pools filled with stolen water) cry like babies whenever the people they’ve beaten-murdered-humiliated for 6 decades fire harmless coffee cans at them.
What wusses. What contemptible sots. 19-year-old armed punks bravely humiliate Arab grandfathers but can’t stand “rockets” bombarding sand.
Millions of dead kibbutzim must be rolling in their graves, seeing the nancyboys now populating the land.
How bitterly ironic, too, that Israel not only adopts the outlook of WWII Germany, it explains to the world that the Holocaust was both inevitable and deserved!
Here we all thought a state filled with oppressed people would be the wisest, most moral in the world. Instead it emulates Rome…going from republic to empire to bullying, corrupt, amoral/immoral brutishness before finally falling.
Many countries no longer list (East Germany, the USSR, etc.) Even Iraq, some 5,000 years old, barely exists (because the American bully, nose bloodied by those it’d bullied, decided SOMEBODY had to pay…and picked the weakest opponent it could). Israel is barely 60, a fly fart in Time. It was created by the world and can be removed by same. It might be time for it to “disappear.” Jews should live wherever they want. Who needs a selfish, arrogant, cruel, racist, militaristic, socialist Jewish state?
