And let's not talk about the Hamas are very humane, in particular towards there own people.
I guess Hamas street executing of opposing political figures, Palestinians suspected collaborating Israeli, general street justice, the inciting of racism, murder of innocent, blowing up buses, schools, teenager clubs and then celebrating there deaths (after debating of course if its moral and proper in there courts, justice system and society) cynical usage of children and woman, there extreme Islamic ideology of death - they are ten times more moral.
Other then that you show no understanding of the situation in the middle east, you never spoke about the pros and cons of integration methods and morals and there are situations when they should be used or not.
You don't even care to dismantle simple moral questions, maybe you expect the world to act like Sweden when it comes to there security.
I'm sure we all can afford it and stay alive and safe.

Untrue. Its fairly simple to see to it that only enemy combatants are targeted. Of course, then your own casualties climb.
When terrorists are firing from a crowd, there ain't no perfect weapon.
When you attack a house where a sniper is firing from,
you can kill his wife and 5 kids behind him.
A house packed with enemies firing and explosives attacked from the air - you can kill civilians.
Attack a military base and you can kill visitors or the secretaries.
There is no country that will use swords while the enemy uses cynical tactics and modern firearms to not harm civilians- you do not watch out at any price for civilian's lives.
Other then that is sounds like you have no military combat experience at all.
In the field everything changes, and believe me it is similar to "chaos", only after the battle fog is gone you can see order.
How many coalition troops where killed in Iraq from friendly fire?
Tell me how the first soldiers were killed in the war in Afghanistan, who was targeted and who got hurt.
When you target you don't target the correct many times, when you fire you don't control the bullet to the last seconds it hits.

Blah blah like Israel understands the situation given that they have not figured out how to treat Palestinians like humans after 50 some years.
You don't even care to dismantle simple moral questions, maybe you expect the world to act like Sweden when it comes to there security.

How do you justify expanded settlements and water rights for those settlers at the expense of a native population already living in abject poverty?
Why should I as an American continue to support Israel when they are obviously forcing more and more misery on the Palestinians and stealing any chance they have of being a viable state.

I wont state right or wrong but one thing is for sure. Nobody is going to give the Palestinians anything until they renounce Hamas. You cannot have a geniune county loaded with terrorists controlling the government. Even if Israel and the Palastinians reach agreement Hamas will find a way to reopen the conflict. Hamas is doing nothing more then serving their masters back in Iran. Nothing more,nothing less. Until that changes get used to what you see and call as the norm.;)Fortitude.....The strength to persist...The courage to endure.

Originally posted by GraniteForge View PostSure, now I understand: When Israeli civilians are killed, its because their attackers are vicious, bloodthirsty, ruthless, subhuman terrorists who are out to destroy civilization, but when Israelis kill civilians, its because of "chaos," "you can't control the bullets," "there is no perfect weapon," and "every other country is doing it." Thanks for clarifying your jingoistic, apologistic, and decidedly amoral position.
Purely the intended killing of civilian is unaccepted.
I think I have explained myself enough, extract whatever example you will out of it.Last edited by PanSonic; 08 Apr 09,, 21:13.

"ships of mercy" is the Karin A a ship of "mercy" for you?
Palestinian economy and welfare is an Israeli interest, but also is Israeli defense.
Settlements...Is all of the west bank a Palestinian land?
Is Jerusalem Palestinian land?
Go check that out and come back to me.
Do you know why Israel uses roadblocks? did you even ask yourself?
lol..."well behind front lines".
In Gaza the front lines are the heart of the city and camp, as I said before if you would only read - the battle field is not chosen by Israelis.
This is why it's called a-semantic warfare.
Hamas chooses the battle field and war houses, which is in there own homes, hospitals, religious centers, schools, etc.
Go debate someone else and waste his time.
See you around the forum.Last edited by PanSonic; 08 Apr 09,, 21:28.

gunnut,
Treat them well and they'll kill you. I think it's a fair trade.There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

I support a 2 state solution. Palestinians deserve to have a piece of land. But they didn't seem to be too happy living next to Israel. They haven't since 1948."Only Nixon can go to China." -- Old Vulcan proverb.
