Israel Vows to Expand Gaza Airstrikes as Death Toll Passes 200

So what ethnicity prefers poverty and terrorism?

Poverty and terrorism are very subjective terms. And many cultures see terrorism as the way to end poverty and oppression. Particularly cultures who feel they are being oppressed.

As I said earlier, the oppressed will always rise up against their oppressor. And that would be their oppressor as they believe it to me, not as you believe it to be.

there are 6 picture boxes.

1. several Israeli warplanes were bombing on Palestinian town
2. the sky is cleared... the town's burning and smoking..
3. all of sudden - several more Israeli missiles came out to bomb some more at same town
4. Hamas fired 1 rocket back at them
5. Israeli said - "that's it...... No more Mr. nice guy"
6. Israeli sent in more warplanes and more missiles to bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb more

LOL The roles are totally reversed but different scenario. It's Hamas who pelted Israel to begin with, coming up with every conceivable excuse to explain these rocket attacks. The number of attacks accumilated to balls deep in BS, Israel's tolerance broke, and ensued with some serious shock 'n awe of their own!

 

[Reba]

Well, of course they could. It's all their own fault, isn't it? Danged Muslim influence!

I never said it was Muslim. Why would you say that?

 

[Reba]

Poverty and terrorism are very subjective terms.

Other posters brought up the poverty angle ("haves and have nots", and being pissed off because they saw Israel as rich and themselves as poor) as though that justified their attacks. Are you saying that the Palestinians don't see themselves as materially poor?

Even if the terrorists themselves think differently, the victims of their terror aren't so philosophical.

And many cultures see terrorism as the way to end poverty and oppression. Particularly cultures who feel they are being oppressed.

That's such a shame. If they live by the sword, they will die by the sword.

If that's "cultural" that still doesn't make it acceptable to the rest of the world, especially those on the receiving end of their attacks.

If it's cultural, then I guess there's no hope for them.

As I said earlier, the oppressed will always rise up against their oppressor. And that would be their oppressor as they believe it to me, not as you believe it to be.

Then I guess they're stuck in this cycle of violence. That's too bad; I was hoping better things for them.

Maybe she meant muslin. The cloth. You know, the narrow ones the yogis swallow and pull out to cleanse their esophagus?

 

[Reba]

I guess they don't! Let's just kill them all! They deserve it.

That's not funny.

That must be it. Otherwise, it would be a racist statement.

 

[Beowulf]

Is it racial to refuse to define white?

So what ethnicity prefers poverty and terrorism?

I don't know about ethnicity but it is easier for the world's elite to manipulate people through poverty and terrorism. Just look at the United States as a good example of how governments can use terrorism to scare people shitless and poverty to keep them in despair and anger. Both conditions are a powder keg for an uprising from those subject to one condition or the other.

 

[BradB08]

That's not funny.

I believe it was sarcasm.

How Hitler Became a Dictator

How Hitler Became a Dictator

Ty for the correction. So it was Hitler's party's propaganda and creating violece in the streets that got him elected by the majority elected ruler. It still seems similar to how Hamas got in power, by propaganda and sowing chaos.

The Founding Fathers were NOT Christian. Do some research. Google is your friend.

As I stated in my post that you quoted, "Our government was founded on base with Christianity.....". I didn't say they were Christian, I only named certain Christian beliefs as part of the base on which it was founded. In reality, the Founders were of many religions, but they clearly tried as well as they could to stick with universally accepted ideas of what is 'good'. Anyways, I'm going off topic with this.....

 

[BradB08]

There is NO comparison between Hamas and Hitler.

But Hitler and Israel? Only time will tell.

 

[Liebling:-)))]

There is NO comparison between Hamas and Hitler.

Exactly!

I cannot understand why someone compare Hitler or Al-Quaida with Hamas. :roll:

 

[BradB08]

Exactly!

After all, it was the Mossad that created Hamas. If you want to blame anyone for the existence of Hamas, blame Mossad, Israel's intelligence goon squad.

wow, Mossad is an Israeli and created Hamas?... I thought all the time it's Islamic activists.

 

[femme Fatale]

As far as I could remember hearing, they were alowed to loiter without Israeli interference to be a nuisance and control Yasser Arafat and his Fatah organization.

Hamas Charter

Hamas is a Creation of Mossad

They ought to include a clean-up strategy after they have no use for them! Reminds me of the assistance the West gave to Hussein, only to be a burden soon afterward.

I didn't know that caged hunting involved prey that first fired rockets at the predators. :roll:

No, this is not "caged hunting." Using incendiary terms to stir up emotional responses is not legitimate debate of the facts.

Then what do you call an area that is fenced in and not allowing individuals to come and go? And while they are being bombed--you're still not allowing them to leave the area for their own safety?

It's called "caged hunting". Afterall the description fits the definition. Sorry you can't accept that defintion as the truth.

Like multi-millionaire Arafat?

A dead man?

Do they have to stand out on the streets and on rooftops to gawk at explosions? No.


Mercy killing? That's a bizarre approach.


Yeah, I'd be pissed at my so-called leaders for keeping us in such a mess.

The land of Israel was not flowing with milk and honey when it became a nation in 1948. The Israelis worked very hard to develop their land. The aid that the Palestinians have received has been squandered and stolen by their leaders.


Which actions? Your statement is muddled. Is it International Red Cross or American Red Cross? Or Red Crescent in Muslim countries. Is Israel's treatment of Palestinians humanitarian or inhumane?

The nation of Israel was developed without the input of the Arabs. Afterall--they were living there as well. How would you like it if I came to your house and "take it over"?

To answer your question--it's International Red Cross that is condemning the Israeli's for the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza.

Then they can vote them out, too, if they want their situation to improve.

Have the Russians been bombing us or sending suicide bombers into our cities?

No--the Russians gives us headaches like--Georgia, the latest gas crisis with Europe, dealings with Iran.....

Other posters brought up the poverty angle ("haves and have nots", and being pissed off because they saw Israel as rich and themselves as poor) as though that justified their attacks. Are you saying that the Palestinians don't see themselves as materially poor?

What the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians is no different what the Germans did to the Jews when they round them up and forced them to live in the ghettos. A good example is the Warsaw ghetto.

Israelis rounded up the Palestinians and forced them to live in the Gaza.

The parallels are striking!

 

[Liebling:-)))]

Absolutely not. Hamas is a terrorist organization. If you resorted to suicide bombings and killing & kidnapping & beheading civilians/soldiers.... you are a terrorist. Mujahideen was the freedom fighter group. They fight against foreign aggressor.... like Russians on Afghanistan & Chechnya. They can be called as freedom fighters to stop Israel militarily but they did not.

Hamas: Government or Terrorist Organization?
Hamas: Government or Terrorist Organization? : NPR

You agreed that Hamas is a terrorist organization because the US and EU says so. To my view, I consider Hamas as a freedom fighter and would agree that they are an anti-Isreali. (I didn't know that Hamas was being created by Isreali until few minutes ago).
