Comments Related To: Is the Israeli Military Really All That Good?

You haven't mentioned that Hamas stockpiles their rockets and other ammunition and weapons in the basements of residential buildings. Not only that, they put their posts and high ranking members in the most populated parts of Gaza City.

"Not only that, they put their posts and high ranking members in the most populated parts of Gaza City."
That may be true, but it is a tactic that anyone would be using (including israel), if they were faced by a vastly superior foe. Similar to the Viet Cong mingling with the civilian population. That is the nature of asymetric warfare. If they just wore uniforms, and kept their fighters in clearly marked bases, they might just as well post big signs syaing "drop your US taxpayer funded bombs here". Hardly a winning strategy do you think? The more inferior your military capabilities the more unconventional your tactics, even if that gets your own civilians killed. In a sense having public outrage over civilian deaths is a propaganda weapon, and thats a substitute to F16 and heavily armoured tanks that the palestinians don't have to defend themselves.

you also forgot to mention that the Israelis are the biggest bunch of liars. How can 75% of those killed be hamas fighters when 40% are schoolchildren? Don't believe everything you hear on mainstream news.

Hey david, this piece of info you gave here is an addition to my knowledge. I was wondering why would Israel be focusing so much on those areas which are so densely populated by the innocent locals but no, the credit goes to the opponents. They are intentionally placing their HQs and weaponry in such places where Israel would think twice before attacking. Just imagine, if we look at it this way then this militant body is actually fighting this war with Israel by using the safety wall of poor innocent Muslims.

This bloodshed cannot be stopped unless both parties decide to stop it! It isn't a one way game and at the end of the day, the victims are the poor Innocent men, women and children who are suffering and dying.

Reparate me for people not respecting the religious devotion of Hamas fighters that use babies as shields, knowing that when they die each baby gets tons of teets to suckle.

If i may OBJECT! Killing 700 people is any less then a genocide? Please consider that we aint living anymore in the age of barbarians.We are living in the age where war is supposedly not the solution to issues. 700 PEOPLE, not insects.

Plus, what comparison is there of Palestinian's Hand made missiles to that of Israel's Gunship Helicopters? The two forces have no comparison.

If the aim here is to protect and guard Israel, why not use some more logic?This aint helping my friend!

The actions of both Hamas and the IDF are illiegal and reprehesible. The difference is that US taxpayers are footing the bill for the IDF's crimes. Out Damn Spot!

This article it self is a liar..don't you know Israel bombing a UN school and killed many childrens?

This is the biggest crock of Jewish propaganda I have ever read. You bastards.

Isreal can do no wrong because Jewz are the only humans on earth. The rest of us are heard animals. Don't you dogs read your Talmud? Oh yeah that is punishable by death.

Read a little Talmud and you will see that all actions taken by Isreal are generating the exact results they are intended too.

If this is the case, then I really do think that the reason behind these recent attacks is to incite and provoke and to get the world's (and not jsut the Muslim world's) attention, rather than anything else.
Either way, it's disgusting and loathsome.

the existence of Israel is not legitimate anyways. simply by its creation the Palestinians were punished for the crimes of the germans during the holocaust. why in the world do you think akmininanajad (iranian pres.) is a holocaust denier??? because they are fucking pissed you took their land for no legitimate reason. yes the holocaust was terrible, yes jews deserve their own country. but why not just give them a big chunk of germany and then only parts of palestine to keep the piece. the bible is so incredibly not a factual, legitimate source to prove land ownership. its just a bunch of myths from fairly recent human history (we are 200,000 years old, the bible is 2,000) no one has any "birth right" to any land. we are all just humans living where we live. I guess we should give back america to the indians cause they were hear first. I wish everyone would acknowledge the fact that the US support of israel is the MAIN REASON we are attacked by terrorists. we pay for Israels planes, bombs, etc. THE US SUPPORT OF ISRAEL WILL LEAD TO THE DOWNFALL OF OUR NATION...IN CATERING TO THE 14 MILLION JEWS IN AMERICA AND THE WORLD WE HAVE ALIENATED THE 1-BILLION STRONG MUSLIM POPULATION. the creation of israel is the worst mistake in the 20th century and will lead to ongoing war and eventually a nuclear exchange, causing massive destruction and death. ISRAELIS, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO THAT LAND, YOU STOLE IT FROM A POPULATION WHO OWNED IT FOR 2,000 YEARS, OF COURSE THEY ARE STILL SHOOTING ROCKETS AND TRYING TO KILL YOU...YOU STOLE ALL THEIR HOMES AND POSSESSIONS AND FORCED THEM TO BE REFUGEES IN OTHER ARAB NATIONS. THE FACT THAT PEOPLE CAN'T MAKE THESE LOGICAL CONNECTIONS IS ABSURD TO ME.

No need for you to understand arabic or get help from someone to explain

Please Watch then you will see how Israel think.

superb bit of agitprop. nevertheless israeli children should put down their deadly weapons of doom and use all that energy to build roads for everyone, not just the 'holy jews', to use.
