Zionist=Jewish. More anti semitic tripe. What's with the huge amount of anti-christians and antisemites on this board? Israel has a right to exist and Iran and the Arab nations are looking to destroy Israel and the Israelis!
You forgot to say that Israel fired the first shot.
He just wants to be left alone, but nobody will let him be.

The UN Human Rights Council has voted to endorse a Gaza war crimes report despite Israel's threats to pull out of the Middle East peace talks in retaliation.
Britain chose not to take part in the vote, which ended 25 to 6 in favour of the resolution, after heated telephone calls between Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and Gordon Brown. Downing Street had been planning to order an abstention, but that option was disregarded despite the crucial nature of the vote and its ramifications for stability in the region
...... Is it really Israel's fault that Hamas weren't able to kill as many Israeli's, even though Hamas fired as many rockets with the intention to kill thousands? Were Israel supposed to fire back the same sub-standard rockets?! This is baffling! War is not meant to be fair. Are Israel to blame for Hamas using human shields?
Interesting how the UN who can't even control their own HQ, when Gaddaffi stole the show when his speech lasted almost 3 hours instead of 20 mins, and now they've given the Iranian regime a month to clear up any evidence at their facilities.
Regardless of anyone's views whether Israel were disproportionate or not.... as this could be discussed all day without any sort of agreement here, this resolution will only lead Israel to further unilateral action in the future. The west isn't going to stop backing Israel, so some of you will just have to live with it. Many unfortunately will also die with it as well.

The UN are no saints that is for sure... as for whose fault it it... Israel have a stranglehold on gaza, controlling everything in everything out, all the people in Gaza know is poverty and they are sick of it. Wouldn't you be? Their people are being wiped out, pushed to the end of the sandpit by Israeli settlements, slowly they're being suffocated. If I was a palestinian in Gaza I would be angry, would you?? Of course you would! Hamas is a direct result of this suffocation, they are the anger manifestated among the palestinians. One thing to remember is not to look at a group like hamas and assume that all the palestinians support what they're doing (the same way the majority of Ireland do not support the IRA in its wrong doings) but at the same time nobody else will stand up for them or their rights as human beings on this planet, so what alternative do they have?? Not condoning their actions ether by the way.

Historically, Hamas has sponsored an extensive social service network. The group has also operated a terrorist wing, carrying out suicide bombings and attacks using mortars and short-range rockets. Hamas has launched attacks both in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and inside the pre-1967 boundaries of Israel.

HAMAS activists, especially those in the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, have conducted many attacks—including large-scale suicide bombings—against Israeli civilian and military targets

For them everything is anti-semitism, which is not giving them the right to kill innocent civilians in their blind belief and everything is anti-semitism which is telling the truth. The usual blablabla. So don't count anything else from them, not even a normal debate as they can't debate just repeat the same old BS over and over again and point always at someone else to backup their lies and justify their killings. But killings cannot be justified. That's what they're never going to understand and that's why we're calling them senseless primitive barbarians.
You forgot to say that Israel fired the first shot.
They always forget to mention this as they believe people have a limited memory. They're mistaken as we're never going to forget what they did in the past and doing in the present.

I don't see why people get so upset time and time again about Israel. War is war. Israel is and always has been a nation of f^%#ing warriors. You don't shove Israel on the world playground and get away with it. They fight back; they hit hard; they hit where it hurts, brutally. If the people who antagonize Israel over and over again and make dangerous threats so often can't take the heat from a nation with a history of destroying their enemies, then maybe they should shut the hell up and leave Israel alone. That's all they want. Their own piece of land to call their own with nobody trying to mess with them. To me, Israel is like the Hulk. He just wants to be left alone, but nobody will let him be.

They're not warriors, just cowards. Only cowards are killing civilians. Only cowards are bombing schools and hospitals, even aid transports. They're far away from any warriors. Warriors used to have honor. Israelis don't have any honor at all.

I would agree with you about everything except "they are senseless primitive barbarians" When I talk I specifically talk about the Israeli Government not its people. The military is controlled by the Government and have been brainwashed by the propaganda machine otherwise they would not do things like use phosphorous in a residential area.

Give me a break, if Isreal broke the law, then they should be punished, but come on ATS, think logically, deny ignorance. It is simple-minded posts like the one I quoted that make good threads lose credibility.

Wait, wait, wait.... Did you just say Hamas is a response to Israel's actions in Gaza (which to me implies that Hamas is justified because Israel started it)? Seriously? I was reading your thread and posts all while giving some credit to what you were saying but that went away faster then BHO's competition for the nobel prize.
This Hamas?

So this group attacks military and civilian targets with suicide bombers (including children) and you blame it on Israel.....
If I'm mistaken, please tell me as I am all about constructive, intelligent discussion. You have the floor sir.
