don't be silly, Hamas haven't ,murdered anyone, ever

Tesco and BP are probably complicit in some people's eyes.

Does anyone think that the Israel assault will stop the missiles? All they are doing is recruiting thousands of people for Hamas.

Israel are just doing it for the oil aren't they?

Of course it won't, and of course they are. However, everyone knows and has known for years EXACTLY how Israel reacts to "attacks" from others, with a massive disproportionality. They'll continue to do this, and no matter how much the professional morally outraged whine about it from 000's of mile away, the Israel leadership only give a toss about it's citizens wishes/fears etc. In a couple of weeks the news cycle will move on and this will occupy the same place as the missing Nigerian schoolgirls and the adult woman who was deported, because ultimately, the vast majority don't give a toss what these sets of nutjobs do to each other.

The site was bombed because the IDF think the Palestinians to be less than animals.

The Israeli military and intelligence organisations are very slick and efficient. They possess weaponry that really is capable of pinpoint, accurate targeting. Unfortunately they seemingly ignore the fact that Palestinian families now have nowhere safe to move to, they've moved, sometimes many times, where do you suggest they go? Gaza is one of the most intensely populated lands on earth. 139 square miles contains almost 2 million people, where the fook do they go, especially when half the area has already been bombed to [is[/ihit?

Israel is a modern, sophisticated democracy, governed by seemingly intelligent people, with sophisticated weaponry available to them. Palestine is also a democracy, although the West now wishes it were not, governed by a bunch of radical nutjobs, armed with the modern equivalent of a blunderbus and a slingshot.

Without wishing to invoke Godwin, I still find it incredible that the Zionists have so quickly forgotten their past, not just the various diasporas and pogroms but also the founder of their own state.

Remind me, what happened when David met Goliath?

rlIs this "balanced" enough?rl

The Jew won.

...with a guided smart stone, against a bloke with a lump of wood with a nail in the end of it.

Not just the IDF Coddy. The Palestinians are held in contempt by the rest of the Arab world, and are looked upon as a shiftless troublemakers. Fine when it's Israel that they are being a pain to, but a quick check at the last 30 years will show they have been thrown out of every Arab state where the turned up in.



Well, I would suggest the obvious answer would be to head over the border to the adjoining state of Egypt, but unfortunately their borders have been closed for ages against their noisy neighbours. Not much Arab solidarity there. In fact, haven't they just sentenced a thousand of the Yasser Arafat's old buddies, the Muslim Brotherhood to death?



But these radical nutjobs were freely elected by the good folk of Gaza, who one presumes, were aware of what they were voting for. And now, the self same inhabitants are suffering the consequences of their brief flirtation with democracy. You might also ponder on the fact that whilst they have been bitching about the lack of food/medical supplies/the good things in life, they managed to acquire enough cement to line and brace the interior of all those tunnels........and all under the eyes of the several thousands of UN employees in Gaza. Remind us again Coddy, just what are the purposes of all those tunnels drilled into Israel?



I would suggest that it is their past history which drives their very simple maxim of 'never again'



Seriously? You might want to pick another example.....

But, one thing we can agree on, civilian casualties should never be dismissed as unavoidable collateral.

Although this actually NEVER happened.

No Israeli Soldier was captured. They just had difficulty finding his body after the IDF blasted the Palestinians and their own soldier,

They have accepted it was a blue on blue.

Still it gave the Zionists a good three days of free propaganda

It looks like this conflict has claimed its first victim over here, "Lady" Warsi has resigned as a minister because the government's stance on Gaza is 'morally indefensible'. Is it more or less indefensible than government policies that screw over the sick, disabled, poor, all the while inflating the wealth of the rich and their friends in the City.

I think we'll call this new fad "Gaza Hypocrisy"

She had served her purpose for the Tories - a vociferous female from an ethnic minority to show how they'd modernised! No longer need as the old public schools feel untouchable.

So she's the Tory version of Dianne Abbot? A racist with a chip on her shoulder. This kind of thing aggrivates the living sh*t out of me though, where was her resignation over Syria, Libya, Iraq, and you could argue Ukraine too, it seemed the ''west'' were quite involved with destabilising the ELECTED Ukrainian government for it's own gains, which has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people, a lot of them soldiers and militants of course, but I'm sure the Maylaysia jet and it's 200+ innocent passengers wouldn't have been blown out of the sky were it not for the situation over there. Are some people too blind to see their own hypocrisy?

F**k, this winds me up!

I doubt she'll be missed by many.

rlOver-promoted, incapable and incompetentrl

Well, that opened my eyes even more. What a stinking hypocrite, yet of course the Gaza bandwagoners will say she's ''brave'', ''honourable'' and ''good for her''.
