Obama Administration Endorses Hamas

[IndyDave1776]

No. the regime recently sent 47 million to hamas instead

It seems to me that sending aid to people who want us dead should qualify as treason.

And they most likely used some of that money to build tunnels with to attack Israel.

And the remainder on rockets.

I guess they're running low on their own human shields?

Unfortunately, there won't be peace until they run out of Palestinians, considering the fact that they have made it abundantly clear that they are not willing to stop fighting until Israel is eliminated from the face of the planet.

So uh... Turkish military troops are going to be accompanying flotilla ships to protect it in Israel. Pretty sure entering Israeli territorial waters is an act of war

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Yes, it just got more complex, the peaceful, secular, neo-Nazi strongman in Turkey is sending aid to Gaza. That won't go over well.

Probably not, but I would anticipate that if they push it, it will go under well.

Is Sheila Jackson Lee part of this flotilla too?

We can always hope.

AP Headline:

Palestinian officials - airstrike hits main Gaza hospital compound, causing casualties.

Alternate headline for realists:

Hamas bombs hospital for sympathy from media

or

Hamas hiding in hospital.


Gaza causality figures come from the Hamas-run bureaucracies in Hamas-run Gaza. A little context for "civilian casualty" claims.

IDF definitively reports (Roni Daniel, Channel 2) that a failed rocket launch from Hamas hit a car near Shifa hospital & IDF had nothing to do with it.: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/1.607542

Two writers with skin in the game take a look at the conflict and its roots. There are no clean hands in this and the current Israeli government doesn't want peace.

If someone shot at me and my kids enough times and killed enough of my friends and relatives I just wouldn't want peace anymore either. There comes a time when enough is enough.

The Palestinians could say exactly the same thing.

There comes a time when enough is enough.

Agreed. And that time has come and gone for Israel. I hope they run up a high enough body count this time to change some Muslim minds. However, I rather doubt it. This will have to get far more massive and bloody in order to have any effect.

 

[jbombelli]

The Palestinians could say exactly the same thing.

Except that they're the ones who have made the destruction of Israel their goal and voted for exactly that when they elected Hamas, and simply refuse to live in peace.

What would you do if your neighbors kept moving their fence a few yards closer to your house?

Have I spent decades trying to kill them? Do I refuse to acknowledge their right to exist? Did all of my other neighbors attack them the day they moved in?

Israels acquisitions occured when they have been invaded.
After a while, they gave the land back.

So it would be as if you kept trying home invasions, ....

Nevermind, if you havent seen the previous explanations, you won't see this.
