Facing the Palestinian faces : Comments

By Joseph Wakim, published 1/8/2014

This noose needs to be loosened if the Palestinian voices are to be heard. The deprivation of these basic human rights of a besieged people is a protracted war crime.

Dear SteeleRedux,

How can we compare 40 dead Israeli soldiers
and one Israeli civilian to 1,700 Palestinian
dead four hundred of them children and over
8,000 injured? Who is the better equipped,
trained, armed with stronger weaponry to
achieve these sort of results?

The Israeli excuse was to destroy the tunnels
from Gaza to Israel. If the tunnels come up in
Israel - logically thinking one would destroy the
tunnel exits in Israel - not the entrances in
Gaza. Obviously someone in the government has a
different agenda. Why does on have to go all
the way into Gaza to destroy the tunnels, when
they are accessible on the Israeli side?

Makes no sense. The Israelis are now talking about
military occupation of Gaza - which means they intend
to steal the land from the Palestinians. Their past
history has demonstrated what they agenda has been
since 1947.

Dear runner,

Once again - your bias makes a mockery
of rational discourse in this place.

Dear Foxy,

Well said. Being an outsider, I think Gaza for its geographic position could only be stable and peaceful as a “Protectorate”: either of Israel or of the “Palestine mainland”, presently known as the West Bank. The Palestinians living in Gaza (with the exception of the militant extremists who indeed “deny Israel the right to exist”, whatever that means ) would prefer the second, and so would probably a majority of outsiders to the problem. Unfortunately, the second alternative is unviable because of the steadily spreading net of Israeli settlements.

The Israelis prefer the first alternative, because they do not trust the second alternative would give them enough security and guarantee living standards they have become used to, hence the settlements.

Well, foxy. The Israelis ARE worried about what's happening under the ground, but it ain't tunnels.

Under the Gaza coastline is, as recorded by a major British Gas survey, $1 trillion (yes, spelt with a ‘T’) worth of natural gas.

Now, poor old Israel spent decades rounding up Palestinians and herding them into the Gaza strip, only to find that it’s worth a trillion bucks! Darn!

On top of the indignity of the chosen people getting their country back after 2,000 years of biblical exile, only to find they picked the only part of the Middle East that DIDN’T have oil, this was too much!

And then, if that wasn’t enough, in April Hamas and Fatah formed a Unity Government, which meant that, instead of British Gas negotiating with Tel Aviv, they would have to start negotiating with Hamas and Fatah.

Gasp! What to do?

Well, thankfully. Three Israeli teenagers came to Israel’s rescue by graciously being abducted and murdered by … ahem … ‘Hamas’, so that Israel could avenge this triple-murder most foul by bombing the crap out of Gaza, and showing British Gas who really owns the Gaza strip.

Of course, a recording of the teenagers’ distress call to the police had heaps of dialogue that showed their kidnappers were Hebrew-speaking Israelis, but who cares?

And now, Israel’s dropping all kinds of hints that it will now be retaking direct control the Gaza strip because this whole ‘leaving Gaza’ thing hasn’t worked out.

Yeah, right.

Thank God Hamas has real friends like Killarney, (birds of a feather!) Given they're rapidly losing all others.
An Egyptian brokered cease fire of three days lasted less than three hours!
With Hamas militants, exiting tunnels, with suicide vests exploding, and automatic weapons blazing. At least they finally found the courage to fight their declared enemy as men, rather than craven cowards cowering behind helpless women and children! A few more attacks like that and the problem of Hamas will solve itself!
If it was all about gas, there is a peace process and international law.
Which would effectively deny any Israeli access to someone else's gas.
Albeit, if its okay for Putin to purloin Ukraine's oil and gas, in the Crimea, and supported by all those posting here, who also support other terrorist organisations!
Then that's hardly surprising! What's good for the goose (Putin) is good for the gander (Israel)!
If it was about gas and a trillion with a T dollars Killarney, only the very worst kind of hate-filled, completely irrational, bloodthirsty murders, would put it at risk; not to mention the lives of their loved ones, in a vain attempt to somehow, foment enough unrest to bring a war to Israel.
Not only will Egypt, Turkey and Qatar no longer go to bat for Hamas, they will also see the very futility of sending further humanitarian aid, given to date, it seems to be coming back cleverly disguised as rockets, suicide vests, mortar bombs and bullets?
I mean, seriously, how can you deal with a group that is patently prepared to sacrifice their own women and children! To the last one standing!!
Only possible, given hate has forced every ounce of love from the thoroughly evil hearts of mass murdering Satan's servants!
All humanitarian aid should cease forthwith, and rightly so, with Gaza having its very own Trillion with a T, treasure chest on its very doorstep!
Well done Killarney!
Rhrosty.
