This morning, Israel sent 117 trucks, hundreds of tons of humanitarian help, in order to alleviate the suffering of civilians suffering in Gaza.

Just because we want to stop Hamas from hurting our civilians doesn't mean we want to hurt theirs.

1,100 strikes in Gaza, where more than 1 million live.

less than 70 dead, the vast majority terrorists.

Man, we REALLY suck at genocide.

Mrtraveler01: Well outside of learning Hebrew, what other newspaper should I read then?

Ynet News and Israel HaYom cover between 60-70% of the Israeli newspaper market. Maariv is only in Hebrew, and all three of them cover about 90% of the market for newspapers in Israel.

Haaretz is insignificant and only has an impact outside of Israel.

I_Love_Cheesecake: According to the newspaper Haaretz, Israeli Interior Minister Eli Yishai said the "goal of the operation is to send Gaza back to the Middle Ages."

I doubt that they could be knocked that far forward in one operation, but it's worth a shot!

INeedAName: Hell, what would you say if we just up and moved into Mexico, kicked 'em out a few choice spots then built new walls around everything we took? I wouldn't blame them for firing rockets and I would gladly get all up on the President's case about wtf we were doing!

Actually we did that, took more than half the country... and didn't give it back. Now we shoot people who try to enter that territory. I guess that makes us genocidal mass-murderers.

Do you think in 200 years there will be a Jewish thanksgiving where they brush over their genocidal conquest of a land by saying the palestinians gave them turkey and cranberry sauce?

shotglasss: Mrtraveler01: shotglasss: Is it wrong of me to wish for the Israelis to be utterly and completely wiped out? Kill every Jew across the entire planet so that we no longer have to hear about how they're killing innocent muslim women and children. Level Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and every buillding within their border.

Would that end this madness?

No, that wouldn't help.

That's a terrible thing to think of.

Maybe it is a terrible thing to think of, but it would stop the fighting and killing there, right?

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

Tatsuma: UPDATES FOR THE LAST 24 HOURS...

So this is happening again, apparently.

Sock Ruh Tease: Any rational observer can see that Israeli incursions into Palestine are generally neatly timed around Israeli election time. In many countries, a state of war is when the "stay the course" mentality kicks in (you don't want to change leaders when we're at war, right?) and citizens largely vote to keep the same people in power. Good for Likud (the conservative Israeli party), with its tenuous grasp on the Knesset.

How does Likud get the Hamas to launch all those rockets at Israeli civilians just before elections? They must have a pretty good relationship with each other to get that timing right.

INeedAName: Tatsuma: derp

You are so full of shiat, it's coming out of your ears.

"Hamas' military wing, the Izzedine al Qassam Brigade, claimed to have fired 34 rockets on Sunday, adding to the more than 900 it says its fired at Israel since the fighting began. A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces put the number at more than 1,000."

How hard can it be to avoid discrepencies in the number of things that go boom?? It's time to enlist the aid of.....

 

The Count

BalugaJoe: Israel does not want to start a guerrilla war.

A gorilla war however might be kind of fun to watch.


/They'd blow it all up though.
//Damn dirty apes.

MFAWG: Honestly, I'm a little tired of giving the hard right in the Knesset and their mouthpieces any kind of a break.

I'm an MP? Holy shiat, better put on pants.

MFAWG: /Hot like a train going in a tunnel

I am having discussions and listening to media in three different languages, give me a break
