Here is something that isn't a porky though. People seem to be downplaying the Islamic extremest element in this conflict.
For all the vilification towards the Israeli/Jewish people on this thread, it wasn't the Jews who flew two airplanes into the twin towers.
Of course i would never tar everyone with the same brush but the threat from extremist Islamic terrorism has never been as strong or as high as it is now.
A defeated Hamas is essential not just for Israeli security but for global security as well.
I have many friends from all kinds of backgrounds, it's just the purveyors of Islamic terrorism i have a problem with not the many fine, upstanding and decent members of the Islamic community.
ISIS was by far a stronger and higher threat level than Hamas. I guess it only counts to you if Israel are under threat yea?
A defeated Hamas will lead to a Palestinian authority that want a two state solution and an Israeli fascist regime that wants nothing of the sort. It suits Netenyahu and Co to have remnants and the continuation of hamas in some form.
And it turns out carpet bombing children increased sympathy for hamas among Palestinians, including those that were booted out of Israel and lost their jobs for something they had nothing to do with. Something hamas wanted.
If you think Israel are doing this the right way then you know nothing about the history of terrorism and its use against over whelming military strength.
I bet you'd have been in the town square shouting about threats to the world and promoting the rights of those few to subjugate the many during the French revolution, which brought modern democracy through the use of 'terrorism'
If Palestinians were able to line up in a spiffy war with the Israeli army they probably would have.
Answer me this: do you think their should be a two state solution?
