Killarney:

Once again, you change the order of events to suit your theory. The Israeli "siege" of Gaza as you call it only came about as a result of Hamas violence, not the other way around. The violence needs to end first before any restrictions are lifted. In any case, how can it be a siege if Israel does not control all Gaza borders? Check Google Maps to study the geography of the region before calling it a siege (or look up "siege" in any good dictionary).

It also seems it is you who are not paying attention. The first cease fire offer flatly rejected by Hamas came not from Israel, but from Egypt, a fellow Arab country. It was not full of "[Israeli] conditions they kept making", but an Egyptian proposal.

You keep going on and on about the "wretched, dispossessed, vanquished, isolated and terrorised people". Yet no one is saying that the problem is with the Gaza civilians. The problem is the murderous movement called Hamas. As long as you and others like you keep supporting them, the people of Gaza will continue to suffer under their rule, and peace in the region will remain a distant dream.

Hypo: @ jayb Your paranoid sociopathic comments describe your sick mental state.

Thanks.

Hypo: I don't support the killing of children therefore I must be a Hamas supporter? Shame on you!

Sounds like a reasonable statement, given Golda Meir comment.

"Do the Israeli have these camps & TV Programmes for their children? NO!
Hypo : No they just say picturing dead Arabs makes them happy, while they play around with tanks and guns. Sponsored by IDF show and tell sessions.

Fair enough. So it's OK for Hamas to run around in their Green & Black firing their weapons, screaming, "Death to the Jews." & teaching their children Is good to kill Jews.

Thanks for the link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp67KehlVGU. One of many great Videos

Hypo : Which world do you live in and who let you out of me mental institution?

Sorry, I live in the real World & I've never been to Gaza.

Hadi: Muslims all over the world owe it to themselves and to the poor Palestinians, to NOT be defined by the ‘identities’ being constructed for them, that complement the dominant narrative i.e. ISIS, ISIL, AQIM to name a few.

I agree Hadi. Unfortunately, those groups, when they take control "demand" that Good Muslims follow their line or be killed. They, then are more than happy to do so. Even Moderate Muslims demand, of the Infidel, all over the World, that Sharia Law MUST be recognized as the ONLY Law, or else.

Steelredux: This morning, yet another United Nations school sheltering thousands of Palestinian families suffered a reprehensible attack. All available evidence points to Israeli artillery as the cause. Nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children .

Hi Steelie, still waving the black Flag I see. The UN School. Is that the one that Hamas had a "Misfire" with one of its Rockets they were firing from the School alongside those seeking shelter. I wonder how many Rockets they had stored at that school. I believe the total number of UN schools Shelters found storing Rockets is three now. Why are Hamas storing Rockets in UN School Shelters?

Holocaust and apartheid have been two of the most shameful acts in human history. It is surprising that their magnitude came to be felt by future generations while the contemporary humans tolerated them as legitimate government acts. Ever wonder, what kind of callous and spineless generations were those? Please look in the mirror!

We are witnessing a side granted right to bomb indiscriminately and the other side being denied right to take shelter. The Palestinians are subjected to apartheid and holocaust simultaneously and the world is silent. I wonder how would we be viewed by the future generations of human beings?

Jayb
Australian eh?

Then show the guts we Australians have and reveal yourself.

NC,

<<Assuming you to be an atheist… I will re-frame my earlier statement that my faith vs your faith>>
Well , you would be wrong again. I like to consider myself a Possibilian.It does not require faith, only an open mind (if your faith permits have a read of this: http://www.possibilian.com/)

<< how come a purely religious claim on others’ land by Israelis exclusively because their religious book says so attracts a passionate supporter.>>
Less passionate support than a passionate distaste for the tactics of the otherside. HAMAS and such groups have a history of deception. They have adopted a practice of whatever it takes. They openly admitted to using their population as shields (though some apologists here trying to market them to a Western liberal audience want to cover it up) they have used ambulances as troop transports, they have used Mosques to hide weaponry or shoot from. You name it they tried it on.

<<Palestinians’ reaction to the occupation of their land, farms and businesses is ONLY human.>>
I suspect that your support for “the Palestinians” has less to do with human rights and all to do with you packlike loyality to your tribal group . When you tribal group is dishing it out you are silent. But you couch your support in the language of human rights to con the naïve.

And Just so we know where you stand does you definition of “occupied land” include the whole of Israel or only those territories they acquire after they defeated the Arabs version of Operation Barbarosa in 1967?

<< Look at the war causalities in a short span in three decades in WWI and WWII and then add up deaths that you search in Muslim history of a thousand years you will find the former to be greater than the latter by orders of magnitude – What say you now?>>
I say BULLSHITE! You are a typical adherent of the “religion of peace” you know all about the plank in your brothers eyes but can’t see your own.
-- Hindu sources estimate the death toll of Islams attempt to stamp out Hinduism in the subcontinent & implant islam at least 60 million!.
-- Muslim Turkey ethnic cleansing of the Armenians runs to well over 1,500,000 murdered & untold numbers of Greeks from places like Smyra
--Islamic invaders waged war to convert or enslave Africans up until very recently (& the Islamic slave trade was the biggest in history-buthow many have heard of it?).
--And if you read "Confessions of a Mullah Warrior" its author Masood Farivar records how the Afghan faithful would pillage and rape the local infidels for sport up until very recently.
[and that is far from all of it!]

The lucky thing for people like you is that little of Islam’s atrocities are exposed in regular history studies . And to even allude to them will bring cries of Islamophobia from you and your bosom buddies on the Left.

Islam is like a contract with a whole lot of nasty little subclauses that the party you are contracting with assures you they will never invoked.

And since we are holding a tell and show session how about telling us what mosque are you imam of?
