I am amazed that no one has posted a thread about this seeing as what has been going on in the past 8 days.

If you didnt know 8 days ago 60 f16s dropped bombs and fired missiles into Gaza, responding to missiles being fired by Hamas into Israel.

What do you think of this incident.

I agree with GSE, we have no right to argue about something wehn you don't no every single detail. I believe the conflict will end soon and everything will return to normal, but...didn't Bush say that about the War On Terror..?

@Smellwreck

I understand religion quite well actually. Being of the Jewish faith, I would say that Israel has a right to defend itself, but let's face it, the war in that area has been going on for too long without any end in sight.

And this has become less about religion and more about politics with religious tendencies. All I'm suggesting is that perhaps a more unorthodox method is needed to stop the fighting.

@kielzanie

Actually, I'm sure that the true nature of that area and who actually belongs there is something of a mystery and history, through games of operator, have grayed the playing field. Again, all I'm saying is if the children cannot behave (Israel AND Palastine) then perhaps something new must be done in order to stop the fighting.

Believe me, I'd be the first to say that this will never happen, but it's nice to dream.

@the listman: dude, do you even watch the news? Israel is actually sending aid into The gaza strip. and, There is just as much a chance that Hamas killed their own shields (read: people) and blamed it on Israel.


Errm do you even watch the news? They are restricting UN aid and have been for months. They even killed a UN truck driver delivering supplies.

I agree too. I support Israel, but if what the anti-Israel people are saying about troops murdering civilians is true then I would support neither and say the whole thing is wrong. (well, it already is, but Israel would be just as wrong as Hamas)

Thankfully the media is completely bias in Israels favor as we only seem to get one side of the story that apparently hamas started the conflict but due to the failure of neutrality in the media we will never know who really started it. Also apparently everyone thinks Israel are the good guys even though its estimated they've slaughtered hundreds possibly thousands of innocent Palestinians while Israel's losses are around 10 people (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7819371.stm) is that fair? Who really are the villains in this conflict?

Try BBC news. It is surprisingly impartial.

Close to 1000 Palestinians are dead. I believe the Israeli figure is closer to 15 however these numbers get larger (sadly) every hour.

I love the BBC. But when it comes to Israel, they have a bias towards them. It's not as big as most Western sources, but it's still present.

Sorry for the double post, but the number of Palestinian deaths just hit 1,000.

umm..... I don't know if I can believe your (anti-Israel group's) numbers anymore. Only 1000 palestinians total have died (rounded) so 1000s of dead civilians is impossible. way to fail.

listen i think that all of this is great but who cares about the civilians, the Palestinians and Israelis have been going at it for a very long time, and in my personal opinion the UN should just let the Israelis teach the Palestinians a lesson

Indeed. I still think it's far superior to The American news channels I have seen.They only show domestic incidences, unless it has something to do with them.

Israli deaths are at 15.

The Israeli troops herded civilians into a building and shelled it killing all but one inside.

40% of the deaths have been women and children.

Hamas arent the threat anymore, many are deserting. Israel is killing indiscriminantly which is morally wrong.
