75. And the palestinians will respond

and the Israelis will defend themselves....

and the Palestinians will respond....

and the Palestinians will respond....

and the Israelis will respond ...

and the Palestinians will defend themselves....

and on and on and on.....

I don't have an opinion over who is right and who is wrong. I agree if Hamas would just lay down their weapons, then we might have peace, but I'm also fairly certain this will never happen. The Palestinian people are a beaten population. The only thing they have left is the do is to fight. War is their life, so it seems from the T.V.

I personally feel Israel would have a better chance of stopping the terror with goodwill, rather than bombs. But I'm smart enough to realize the MIC will never let that happen.

So endless war it is. Rah, Rah, Rah.

Again, you can think whatever the hell you wan't. tritsofme Jul 2014 #119

Yes, well RobertEarl Jul 2014 #120

I compleley agree, it is beyond reprehensible that Hamas uses innocents as human shields tritsofme Jul 2014 #121

What about the civilians? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #65

Hamas should certainly stop using them as human shields tritsofme Jul 2014 #67

But Israeli bombs are killing them. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #72

Yes, it is incredibly tragic that Hamas consigns people to their death in this manner. tritsofme Jul 2014 #74

So it is justified to kill children then? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #82

It is those who force children to remain in military targets that have unnecessarily killed them tritsofme Jul 2014 #84

Does Israel have any culpability in these children's murder? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #85

If they strike a valid military target tritsofme Jul 2014 #87

those kids on thel beach yesterday? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #88

Don't know the specifics, but it sounds tragic. tritsofme Jul 2014 #89

Israel is responsible for their deaths. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #91

Yes, and as I said it is a tragedy. tritsofme Jul 2014 #96

Yes, it is quite shameful that Hamas initiated these attacks. tritsofme Jul 2014 #109

And that Israel is bombing the area. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #110

A justified response to the situation initiated by Hamas tritsofme Jul 2014 #112

And killing children? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #113

We've already covered this ground. Not gonna go around like a broken record. tritsofme Jul 2014 #114

Not justified in my opinion. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #115
