Yep, they are really innocent. Innocent suicide bombers specially. What's not to love?
And how else would you suggest they act after someone has stolen their home?
I dunno, but if someone stole my home I would hope that I would react in a more civilized fashion than blowing myself up... In fact, I am pretty sure I would not react in such a barbaric fashion.
Sure glad people in the US do not generally blow themselves up taking other civilians with them because they were "done wrong".
Perhaps my answer would be: In a more civilized way.
"In a more civilized way" = Being rich enough to afford better weapons?
Pretty much.
So we are back to the money slander is it? Funny that seems to occur so often. Next step is the Protocols will be trotted out. I have heard more about them in the last few weeks than I have heard in years. When people start playing these cards, you know the agenda.
So you are saying 384M people have less money than 7.95M people? You think Gaza is the way it is because they have no money? And if that is indeed the case that they have no money, why aren't the most oil rich countries in the world with so much money to burn not helping the Gazan's build infrastructure after the Israeli's moved wholesale out of Gaza?

What Hamas is hoping is that by continuing the conflict and playing the victim card will win a propaganda war. Apparently they do not care about a few thousand Palestinian lives.....

No offense, but your source is Palestinian. That's no different than presenting a publication from Israel about something a Palestinian said.
No chance for a lack of objectivity there, no? lol

So...what do you tell all the Israelis who have been born there since then? Where do you send them?

Seems like you are advocating one atrocity to solve another. Is that a civilized solution, do you think? Is that even a realistic solution?

Seems more likely that both groups are not going anywhere and any solution will have to involve both living side by side in peace.
Is more realistic than bombarding UN facility's protected by International Law, making israelis WAR CRIMINALS that should be judge.

I refuse to enter into the millennia old discussion of who is entitled to the land... not only is it disingenuous but it totally ignores the reality of the current situation. Indeed, such unproductive thinking is precisely why the clusterfunk that is...is.
The current situation is: Israel exists...it is not going anywhere, nor are the Jewish people. The Palestinians are, likewise, not going anywhere. Ergo any solution will not come from millennia ago, but rather today.
This is not the 1st century, this is not the 7th century, nor is this the 19th century. It is the 21st century and those involved (regardless of what you or I think) will need a solution derived from the current state of affairs in order to achieve peace..... or there will be no peace.
