Maybe Hamas was driven to the point of wanting Israel destroyed when they had to pick up the remains of their families splattered across the streets by Israeli weapons?

Is it right or wrong to keep children in leg irons??
Answer that and ill shall answer...
"We were sitting in court and saw a section of a preliminary hearing when a very young looking child, a boy, was brought in wearing a brown uniform with leg irons on.
Under the UN guidelines, leg irons are legal if used appropriately, for instance if the child was a flight risk while being transported between detention and court.
Palestinian TV Show Celebrates Ramadan with ‘The Best Mothers’…of Suicide Bombers
To celebrate the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, Palestinian TV has launched a new program called “The Best Mothers.“ But who constitutes the ”best mothers” according to Palestinians?
Apparently ones whose children were suicide bombers who killed innocent Israelis and themselves, and hence, became “martyrs.”
The 10-minute segment, that reportedly airs every day, features a different Palestinian mother in her home, talking about the children of whom she is most proud.
Palestinian Media Watch reported that last week, PA TV chose to interview the mother of Darin Abu Aisheh, a suicide bomber who blew herself up at a roadblock in 2002, wounding three Israelis.

Children from the West Bank are held in conditions that could amount to torture, such as solitary confinement, with little or no access to their parents. They can be forced to stay awake before being verbally as well as physically abused and coerced into signing confessions they cannot read.
We were sitting in court and saw a section of a preliminary hearing when a very young looking child, a boy, was brought in wearing a brown uniform with leg irons on. We were shocked by that. This was a situation where we had been invited into the military courts for briefings from senior judges

Just to make it clear, I do not support violence from anyone on whatever side. I do, however, understand where it comes from and I do, however, understand that the problem goes back further into history than just recent decades. This has been a problem for thousands of years....in essence religions beating the crap out of each other because they believe their "God" is the correct one.
When push comes to shove though, and I see a people who are clearly outnumbered and outgunned attempting to cling to some semblance of existence in the face of a wall of Israeli might, I tend to root for the ones who are having genocide committed against them in the name of an invisible being in the sky who can conjure rainbows on command.

Please explain how Israel should act towards groups who call for its total destruction? Could we not make an argument that the extremists groups (Hamas / Hezzbullah / Iran / Syria) are advocating genocide by calling for Israels destruction?
Do you think there could be changes if Hamas and other groups removed the destruction of ISrael requirement from their charters?
As I said so long as that stance remains, we have a group pointing a loaded gun at Israel. How should they resolve that deilemma? How should Hamas resolve that dilemma?
Secondly how far off topic are we going to go? And no thats not a snotty question. You stated you wanted to stick to the legirons issue yet we seem to swerve into a multitude of issues. Are we debating separate issues or are you wanting to try and start a conversation / debate by linking all the issues with the end result being minors in legcuffs?

I don't know what Koran you are reading but the one I have read preaches the same love for fellow man and tolerance for others as the Bible does.
Methinks you haven't actually read the Koran, instead you choose to regurgitate what others with an agenda have told you it says.
Koran 9:29
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
Koran
Allah's Apostle said:
"I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle."
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, number 24
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause."
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, number 25

Cleary you are spreading dissinformation. The Koran and Hadiths are full of violent jihad, not love and tolerance.

Quran (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]... but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."
Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority"
Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."
Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."
Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Keep squirming though......it's hilarious to watch!!

Can you show me where it teaches peace and love?
I agree about the bible / other religions having violent passages as well. However to claim there are no such verses in the Q'uran is not correct.

I have already answered the leg-irons question multiple times and have branched out into talking about other points posters have raised seeing as though, clearly, they are unable to stick to the topic themselves.
