In reply to the discussion: Israel: Gaza Conflict Ends 'When Our Goals Are Realized' [View all]cpwm17
(3,829 posts)49. You clearly don't know your history or anything about this conflict
The Zionists think their religion somehow gives them a special right to the Palestinians' land, land in which the Palestinians already live. That is a holy war.
Israel is a brutal Apartheid state. Israel is colonizing land that doesn't belong to them and treating the Palestinians like crap. Gaza is a prison camp and has been before the rockets. To collectively punish all of the Palestinians for behavior that Israel provoked in the first place is unfair and hypocritical.
Israel and the pre-Israel Zionist Jews started this crap by punishing the Palestinians for belonging to the wrong religion.

If they're goal is "genocide", they're awful at it. 1000 strikes and 100 dead? Shouldnt it be 100K?

+1 I doubt any other military could have as few casualties with as many airstrikes.

If I said about Likud what you said about Hamas, I would probably get a hidden post.

Good answer, except if they do that, Hamas will kill them & probably their family.

You could look at THIS map too, and see Israel is a lot SMALLER than it was long before '47

Good point it is not an equal fight but that does not matter to the dead civilians
