Israel vs. Gaza round 99

[Correction]

You know, this post was unnecessary, but good on you for being willing to indulge him. He completely ignored being told repeatedly that Israel keeps fucking perpetuating this against a diminutive threat and oppressed, marginalized people.

Well I asked him for his honest viewpoint so it's only polite that I return the same. This isn't /r/MRA where people just dig their heels in and play the victim card repeatedly while ignoring contradictory evidence, you can honestly engage with people on controversial topics without giving into their reinforced fears and chanting 'lol u mad' or repeating the same decontextualized talking point over and over like it's a granite soapbox (the 'right to defend themselves' angle), and even if he doesn't engage maybe someone else will learn something. That's good enough for me.

It's sad that Israel is losing a couple dozen soldiers here just to trim the grass. It would take Hamas a while to kill that many normally.

UNRWA Finds Missiles In School

UNRWA said on Tuesday it found missiles hidden in one of the schools the agency is operating in the Gaza Strip.

Today, in the course of the regular inspection of its premises, UNRWA discovered rockets hidden in a vacant school in the Gaza Strip. As soon as the rockets were discovered, UNRWA staff were withdrawn from the premises, and so we are unable to confirm the precise number of rockets. The school is situated between two other UNRWA schools that currently each accommodate 1,500 internally displaced persons.

UNRWA strongly and unequivocally condemns the group or groups responsible for this flagrant violation of the inviolability of its premises under international law.

The incident is the second one this week.

hmm not to innocent now

so is like the universal hate for Israel just because they are jews or something?or is Hamas like the special needs of terrorists and can do no wrong. no ones in disagreement that the ass whopping length, and severity are way out of bounds on Israels side but Hamas did start this one according to news accounts.

[Kuya]

Oh, did this nigga seriously try to one up us by pointing out that Hamas is a terrorist organization?

[Kuya]

Shit man, you discovered america.

[notorious bum]

Yes, rockets placed in schools, that are just now being discovered, doesn't sound fishy at all....

Reminds me of the recent report that just came out proving the FBI basically funded the majority of those "gotcha! terrorist plots thwarted" stories.

Go read the independent investigation I posted by Amnesty and start checking off all the repeat offenses and propaganda that you're choosing to believe today.

[archibaldcrane]

Pointing out that Israel's policies are terrible does not mean that Hamas is good. Gtfo with that awful logic.

[thetruepandagod]

When will hamas stop the madness?

yeah but what Israel is doing is launching a full scale invasion, and causing tons of civilian deaths in response to it. That would be like a terrorist attacking the US and us going over to the middle east with a ton of ground forces and drone strikes, killing lots of innocent people in the process... oh

And yet the rest of the time people manage to talk about their dead loved ones without wishing death upon everyone who just happens to look like or live near the people responsible for that death.

One soldier with a "glass em bro" mentality shouldn't be used as the "example of how Israel thinks". I'm sure there were plenty of US soldiers with the same mentality towards "fuckin haji" in Iraq.

Sure, but I wonder who's using his words as an example of how Israel thinks.

that chart a few pages back *this one*
Says 3400+ deaths of Israel's since 2005 and 7k deaths on palistines side.

and we have page after page of hate fueled at them.

yet 3k americans die and we wage a 10 year war with an est. cost of over 100,000 deaths on blatant lies and its cool we left.... so i dont get all the hate directed at the horrible things israel is doing, more so not when compared to ALL THE SHIT WE DO.

[archibaldcrane]

The US killing of 100k iraqi civilians being terrible is not in dispute.

[archibaldcrane]

And you're completely misreading the chart. It says since 2005, 3457 Palestinians have been killed vs. 125 Israelis.

Now that you have the correct ratio, does that change your opinion of the situation at all, or is the ratio only important if you mistake it to serve your narrative?
