Is anyone following the Israel & Palestine Situation.

[bryant.coleman]

13 Israeli soldiers killed in a single day. Even worse, one Israeli soldier was captured by the Hamas. I have a feeling that this is not going to end well for the Israelis.

Twenty-five years of writing in Hebrew, and nothing has changed. Twenty-five years clutching at the hope, believing it is not possible that people can be so blind. Twenty-five years during which I had few reasons to be optimistic but continued to believe that one day this place in which both Jews and Arabs live together would be the one story where the story of the other is not denied. That one day the Israelis would stop denying the Nakba, the Occupation, and the suffering of the Palestinian people. That one day the Palestinians would be willing to forgive and together we would build a place that was worth living in.

Twenty-five years that I am writing and knowing bitter criticism from both sides, but last week I gave up. Last week something inside of me broke. When Jewish youth parade through the city shouting "Death to the Arabs," and attack Arabs only because they are Arabs, I understood that I had lost my little war.

this pretty much says it all.. the good people are leaving Isreal.. and only fundamentalists are moving to Isreal and the war torn regions of the middle east now.
the fundamentalists just reinforce each others views that they are right and everyone else is wrong.. They believe they are fighting for their right to own the land and fighting for their god.. but in reality.. they are just killing and dying for a hopeless cause.

this guy is very lucky that he can leave.. the Palestinians in the occupied territories cannot.

Cheering at the army doesn't equate cheering at the death of others,

This on the hand is how palestinians cheer after they murdered 3 Israeli teenagers:

Cheering at the army doesn't equate cheering at the death of others,

seriously how naive are you?

cheering while your army invades and kills civilians and combatants IS cheering at the death of others. (doesnt really matter which side of the fence you are on)
do you think the IDF is going into gaza to play a soccer game? are those explosions just fireworks?

I suppose you think that all the people that were cheering at Adolf Hitler were just good little German citizens cheering for the home team.

those people aren't watching a military parade they are watching open warfare.

when people do not understand the difference between death and entertainment. you know that they have lost touch with reality and they have lost touch with their humanity.

Don't be fucking stupid and compare hitler to Israel.
Hitler had in his agenda that death of all non Aryans, last I checked, hamas, your friends, had somewhat similar of agenda.

IDF has in its agenda the destruction of tunnels and weapons stashes, and when it bombs, it targets those stuff and not people.

So IDF bombing != death and therefor cheering at IDF != cheering at the death of others.

Get real.

And btw, what the palestinians do is outright cheering at the death of teenager boys.

P.S.

it might surprise you to realize but my countries people are also being blown up by stupid militants and terrorists.
just look at what happened in Ukraine 2 days ago.. 300 innocent people dead from an act of sheer stupidity.

the difference is.. that we do not go and blow up the house of the terrorist and kill their entire family.
because most of us realize that this will only create more militants capable of doing stupid things like that..

About that.
Yeah, you guys don't blow up the house of a terrorist, you just shot an airplane full of civilians down.

Sorry, heard in to many places that Kiev shot the airplane down and it wouldn't be the first time Kiev shots down a civilian airplane.

you really show your true ignorant colours here... and how lacking your comprehension skills are.

you accuse my country of shooting down the plane where its own citizens died?
you don't even know what my country is and you make stupid claims like that.

please take your propaganda and BS somewhere else.. you are a sad excuse for a human being.
if you love the oppression and destruction of palestinians so much then go back there and fight for what you believe in instead of hiding behind a keyboard.

I showed you countless examples of well educated Jewish scholars who do not agree with your countries Zionist policies and propaganda.
and in return you show me nothing but Zionist propaganda.

You choose to shut your eyes and ears and follow in the footsteps of nationalism..the very same nationalism that lead to the rise of Nazis in germany...

I am not calling you a Nazi I am calling you a closed minded bigot and coward.
Do you even know what Nazi means? it means National Socialist..... it started with Racial Pride and Nationalism and ended with the Holocaust. You think Jews cant be nationalists? please get a dictionary and look up the definition of Zionism.

you are too blinded by your own sense of superiority that you cannot see that you have lost your humanity and your thinking has begun to follow that path.
I really feel sorry for you.

you have my pity.
I pity you because you are a disgrace to Jewish people everywhere a disgrace to Isreal and a disgrace to humanity.

The war between Hamas and Isreal is not my fight... I support neither side... I do not even live in that region, and now thanks to nationalistic idiots like you.. I will never support Isreal as long as it is run by people like you.

you want the world to stay out of your business?..  I am more than happy to oblige and turn by back on you and the countless other bigots that think like you do.

Where is the humanity?

Everyone is talking about but nobody does anything! 

[Alphi]

Where is the humanity?

Everyone is talking about but nobody does anything! 

we try but as you can see from our Zionist friend here... it is not easy reasoning with closed minded people who think their god and their race is the only one that matters.

so the only other option is sanctions and boycotts.

if you want the war to stop then boycott both Isreal and Hamas.

[BCEmporium]

Do... what?! Do you listen to any solution from anybody? The only "solution" proposed is Israel to "go away", what will not happen.
So they just keep appeasing one or other part with 100mts of terrain to one side or another.

[BCEmporium]

if you want the war to stop then boycott both Isreal and Hamas.

Boycott a part that controls most of the financial world... 
Beware they can boycott you instead and there goes your job.

the point is that Palestine will not go away either.. no matter how many times you stick your fingers in your ears and say Lalalalalala
and no matter how many bombs you drop.

Stuck the fingers in the ears and shout lalalalala is a Muslim thing, pretty common action from Palestinians.
But if you get the maps you see "Palestine" fading.

The problem is not simple, the only way to solve it is the war with the consequent abandonment of the land of one of the two peoples

this is the unique solution !

wow are you mean the part that sold bad loans and mortgage backed securities and caused the global financial crisis?
the part that rigs libor and forex markets?
or
the part that was bailed out by the federal reserve?

are you claiming they are all controlled by Isreal and Zionists?

that's a very dangerous claim. I hope for your sake you aren't on the inside.

[hologram]

And Zionist will control bitcoin too, you have no choice you must blow up with a explosive vest to protest !
