It is very disturbing to witness that apparent
lack of moral literacy in your news service.  When
I read that Jews and Arabs are in conflict, you
would think that there Jews were just as likely as
Arabs to TARGET and KILL a family in the middle of
a meal or celebration.  You would further think
that Jews were just as likely as Arabs to TARGET
and KILL women and children out shopping.

Such thing do not occur.

While the IDF may not be pure as the driven snow,
to suggest that the actions of the IDF and Hamas,
et at, are in any way similar is yellow journalism
at its worst.

Hi, I'm the IDF.

I'm here to knock down your homes and destroy your orchards.
Then I'll start a settlement here and let rich Jews live her in the middle of poverty stricken Palestinians.

If you say anything about it or protest, we'll kick the shit out of you.
But we don't kill families.

If you do something violent against us, we'll kill you and anyone who happens to get in our way.
But we don't intentionally kill families.

If you declare war on us, we'll slaughter your army with our US supplied advanced military equipment.

If you ask the UN to intervene, we'll use our Jewish lobbyists in the US to pressure the US into vetoing any resolution that helps Palestine.

If you protest our bulldozing of your homes, we'll just run you over if you get in the way.

If a Jewish citizen decides to shoot a Palestinian for fun, we'll give him three months in jail before letting the people elect him to a position on council.


And if you take any violent action against us, other than a declaration of war (in which case we have the justification and the power to annihalate you) - then we will declare you to be terrorists.

But we don't kill families. We're the good guys.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your comments.

 

The Israel/Palestine issue crops up from time to time on this forum and I always try to make it a point to be considerate of the non-Israeli side.

 

I will again make my point from another thread that when the people who have declared war Jihad against the Jews have vowed to drive them into the sea and to annihilate them it then causes Israel to react and even overreact. 

 

My concern is for Israel and I do give Israel grace in their tactics because the World U.N. has made and put the Israelis into a difficult situation and being in a difficult situation of facing either Victory or Annihilation they are bound to make mistakes and do things that the Israelis themselves would not like to do but because of desperation they have to and again it is all of the nations of the worlds fault for allowing Israel to be placed into this desperate situation.

 

God Bless You,
David

There seems to be a prevalent opinion that Palestines will only cease their violence against Israel - when Israel is completely destroyed.

There are a minority of people such as those in Islamic Jihad - who do have that sentiment.

However, there are also a great many Palestinians who want nothing more than to be left alone, and a chance at a better life.

Israel often does not know who is responsible for the bombings - since the perpetrator is usually already dead - so they simply wreak havoc on Palestine in general - so that any would-be suicide bombers know that any damage they do to Israel will be done ten-fold to Palestinians.

There will always be militants who want to destroy Israel. Killing civilians while finding terrorists - creates more terrorists than it destroys. You can not let the extremists dictate the relations between the two nations.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your well thought out and Good replies.

 

Unfortunatlly it is the extremist particularly the Palestinian extremists that are shaping the policy.

 

The suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism against Israel are designed for maximum terror against all of Israel and against their very way and quality of life. On the other hand when Israel does respond it is in a measured way and designed to only punish the guilty or as near the guilty as is possible.

 

I suspect that there are no Palestinians afraid to go on daily shopping trips because a fanatic Hebrew is staying awake all night obsessed with building a bomb to detonate in a peaceful supermarket.

 

God Bless You,
David
