I have a solution. Why don't the people in Gaza do what Jews have done over the last several centuries when confronted by loss of property and loss of life...mostly at the hand of our lovely Christian brethren, who just couldn't get around the notion that some folks might not accept Jesus as their savior. Frigging MOVE!

The Israeli blockade of Gaza is an act of war, so is the firing rockets into Israel. The Israeli air attacks and ground invasion are acts of war, so is the Hamas retaliation. Israel's targeting of civilians is an act of war and a war crime, so is the indiscriminate firing of Hamas rockets at Israeli towns. Hamas is a terror organization, Israel is a terrorist state. It's a wash-there are no good guys in this conflict. Israel is not morally superior to Hamas in any way, nor is Hamas morally superior to israel, they are both very very bad actors in a terrible tragedy.

F chet:

"... you have to figure out a new strategy to use when your enemy employs them. I, at least, believe it is morally wrong to shoot at a terrorist standing in a crowd of preschoolers, no matter how many people have been killed by said terrorist, or his or her terrorist organization. And besides being morally wrong, it is also stupid."

They will continue using human shields as long as you and others on the Left continue to reward them for doing so.

It is not stupid; the Palestinians are not stupid people even though their "supporters" treat them as though they are. Their goal is to get someone to force Israel to give them what they have failed to win for themselves.

They've recognized that they cannot militarily defeat Israel. They know that Qassam rockets are not going to get the Israelis to withdraw from anything. The goal of Hamas is to get world opinion on their side by flooding the airwaves with dead Palestinian children. So they have to make sure that lots of Palestinian children are killed, and they do that by deliberately putting soldiers and weapons in schools and mosques.

It's working great! Step 1: Hamas deliberately puts weapons in schools. Step 2: Israelis bomb the weapons caches and innocent children are killed. Step 3: Broadcast lots of footage of dead Palestinians children. Step 4: Have the Left condemn Israel for killing innocent children. Repeat as necessary.

The Left falls for it every time.

The power to prevent the killing of Palestinian children is in YOUR hands. If you reward Hamas for the deaths of those children, they will just find make more children hostage and repeat the cycle. YOU can break the cycle, but you have to choose to do so.

Good thought experiment, but I would just add for clarity's sake, the terrorist hiding among the preschoolers is actively shooting at you while hidden behind the children (he's not just sitting there reading a book).

You got to do something right? Would you suggest that you just let the terrorist keep shotting at whoever he likes until he runs out of ammo (assuming he's not being constantly re-supplied by others)?

Do you wait until the terrorist gets bored of shooting?

Do you just move out of the area and let the terrorist have whatever it is he wants and hope that he doesn't follow you (surrounded by children the entire time)?

Do you try to live in the area, just always knowing that you must be covered in head-to-toe armor or just steps away from abunker for the remainder of your life (or the terrorist's life)?

Do you hide in a hole and hope that someone else not directly involved in the craziness steps in and assuages/disarms the terrorist?

What's the answer?

the European countries that are "supporting" Israel? That Australian, Mark Regev, spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister, is looking a bit ragged around the edges when being questioned by European journalists; of course, Regev isn't in Gaza and the international media has been BANNED from entry. Next thing, Jonathan in Tel-Tal-whatever, you'll be telling people that Australia is supporting Israel's onslaught. No, darlin' boy, this is an Israeli/American adventure.

Concealing the Transfer Agreement.

Like everything SS writes, he distorts.

In 1933, there was a Jewish boycott of German goods. Hitler, in order to break the boycott, allowed Jews to escape Germany in return for Jews buying German goods.

The Zionist Organization signed the agreement in order to rescue Jews from the Third Reich.

Who knew that Hitler helped found Israel?

He didn't, you like most Jew Haters just try to comprae anything done by Israel to Hitler in any manner or from possible.

Your unofficial motto is the same as Julies Streicher's "Something always sticks."

On other news, Alcohol prohibition wasn't done because of people drinking alcohol. It was done to prevent farmers from making their own fuel to power their trucks, tractors and cars with stills and to ensure that the makers of gasoline would have a monopoly onthe internal comopustion engine's fuels. AND THAT, is what caused the great depression. Farmers couldn't afford fuel, couldn't plow, couldn't pay mortgages, and then came the dust bowl to blow away the unplanted soil.

Good to know your stupidity extends to other fields as well.

Tell us about how the Earth is really flat, and we didn't really land on the Moon.

Screw you

And this is what JonathanInTelAviv will say when the United States 100% unwavering support of Zionism leads to dead Americans. He doesn't care that Zionism breeds antisemitism, and through the transitive property breeds anti-Americanism, all of which is exactly what the AQ wants. JonathanInTelAviv doesn't care that continued support of these policies, and every US taxpayer-funded Palestinian death, will lead to increasing numbers of dead Americans, either through terrorist blowback or fighting his religious wars.

Screw you, he says, and screw the United States, because Americans are all brainwashed and it is all about Israel.

"The support we are getting from the major European countries, as well as Egypt & Saudia Arabia, is icing on the cake."

Egypt and Saudi Arabia, eh?

Isn't that where all those boxcutter terrorists who cut down the twin towers with boxcutters came from?

They support Israel?

Naturally!

Shortstop!
