The two situations are the most analogous you will find - I didn't say they were facsimiles, but neither is your example of Canada lobbing mortars over the US border.
Israel's response, time and again, is over the top and only serves to stir up anger. When was the last time an Israeli citizen was killed by a rocket? Only 13 have died since 2001. How many have died in Israeli reprisals, involving air raids and full scale invasions, in the same period? Almost 7,000.....
EDIT: And that figure doesn't include any casualties from the blockade owing to a lack of medicines, food etc...edit on 2/2/14 by stumason because: (no reason given)
Hey girls (or boys)...
Although your opinions might be respected...
When you have both finished scratching each others eyes out about your differences of opinions which have nothing to do with the OP, would it please be possible to get back to the subject? It was looking quite interesting until you two started getting niggly with each other?
Personally I would have loved to read about (and was going to contribute) what is happening over there and not about Canada, Ireland or the uk?
Thread totally bombed out... what a shame for the OP...
Kindest respects

It's not unusual for Israeli supporters to come in and try to push the thread in another direction. Another thing to remember is that Israel pays people to go into forums and defend them.

I hate this "argument".
Lets keep in mind how this all began.
Okay. Let's ...Doesn't go back much further than this.

This book brings to light, through the use of actual historic documents, the disservice that the Zionist did to Jews before and during the Holocaust
The Transfer Agreement stunned readers worldwide with its revelations of a pact between Zionist leaders and Hitler's Third Reich.
buster2010Why is it when someone complains about Israel's policies is automatically labeled as an anti-Semitic?

so...anyone that disagrees with you, is a paid defender of Israel?.....wow....covered all your bases on that one....so why are you even in this thread? your mind is made up, and nothing or nobody can change it.
The US hit back at Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday after the Israeli prime minister warned that calls for boycotts of Israel to pressure it over settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are "immoral and unjustified" and would not achieve their goal

It's easy to guess considering how America loves to bomb stuff....but I can tell you without hesitation, that if the US had militarily occupied my home and land for 45 years...you can bet your stars and stripes you'd be seeing missles every day until my people were free.

A better (and real life analogy) is one between the UK and Eire....
We spent the better part of 30 years dealing with terrorists which based themselves in the Republic, bombing our people, our troops and lobbing mortars over the border, but not once did we bomb Dublin, invade or start building housing estates in Cork. In fact, by and large, they were all dealt with as a criminal matter, not as a military matter.

So why weren't the palestinians protesting and suicide bombing the Jordanians, when the west bank was part of the Jordanian/Hashemite kingdom before 1948?

Everything from computers to cancer treatments to cherry tomatoes is off the table. Have a look and see just how much you must refuse if you are to carry your selective moral outrage with any sense of genuine conviction and integrity.

Israel /Jews: Always playing the Victim. Can't stand on their own merits.
Please don't insult Jews this way. The people running Israel are Zionist claiming to be Jews. Remember Israel is a Zionist state not a Jewish state.

The percentage of households with assets in excess of $1 million in Israel is 3.8%, higher than in countries like Japan, Canada, the Netherlands and Belgium where per capita gross domestic product is much higher than in Israel.
Along with Mexico and Chile, Israel gives the least as a percentage of gross national income among members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Israel gives one-tenth of the U.N.'s target rate, lagging behind Turkey, Poland, Slovakia and even Greece during its debt crisis, according to OECD data.
Old Netanyahu is also trying to stir up trouble by making the claim any peace deal must recognize Israel as a "Jewish State", which carries with it the implication of no right of return and also calls into question the status of Israel's rather large Arab community, with many of them believing it is a prelude to a forced exile.
“As we speak, American diplomacy is supporting Israelis and Palestinians as they engage in difficult but necessary talks to end the conflict there; to achieve dignity and an independent state for Palestinians, and lasting peace and security for the State of Israel – a Jewish state that knows America will always be at their side,” (emphasis added)
