No-one is denying that.<BR/><BR/>But Gaza is basically treated as an open sky dump. People are trapped there. Basic services don't exist. And over a thousand people EACH YEAR are wiped out by Israel's top notch weaponry. <BR/><BR/>So you may worry about the daughter hopping to school, but entire towns in Gaza are raised to the ground every other week.<BR/><BR/>The Palestinians are slaughtered in such numbers that the international community doesn't even picture the daughter hopping to school that shatters our patriot's kind heart. You just get hundreds killed at a time, but because they're Arabs, it's fair game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-51002924131766701022008-12-28T18:17:00.000+00:002008-12-28T18:17:00.000+00:00Madam Miaow,I'm awfully sorry I don't possess the ...Madam Miaow,<BR/>I'm awfully sorry I don't possess the same intellectual capabilities as you and the rest of the lefties on this blog.<BR/><BR/>The point is that Hamas hide their weapons and themselves amongst civilians which inevitably leads to high casualties. You tell me. What is Israel supposed to do?<BR/><BR/>Next door there's an extremist pro-Iranian terrorist 'government' that simply wants Israel wiped out.<BR/><BR/>What would you do if your daughter was going to school everyday under the constant threat of rockets?<BR/><BR/>Do you honestly think a government would simply kill 2 or 3 hundred people facing international criticism just like that? Does it give you a vague idea of how exasperated the Israeli people feel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-34924688573400477522008-12-28T17:14:00.000+00:002008-12-28T17:14:00.000+00:00Sorry, Patriot, I didn't mean to be patronising. W...Sorry, Patriot, I didn't mean to be patronising. What I wanted to do was express my heart-felt contempt for your igno-rants. Sorry if I failed to achieve the desired effect.<BR/><BR/>No, I didn't just hear about the continuing conflict yesterday. Some of us have been aware, f'rinstance, of the 2 year blockade which has deprived an entire population of food, fuel, medicine, printed materials, freedom of movement, etc, for um, 2 years. You may be interested to know, but not altogether surprised, that this has resulted in deaths.<BR/><BR/>We also know that since Israel supposedly withdrew from Gaza in 2005, 9 Israelis have been killed while 1,400 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli security forces. (see Telegraph)<BR/><BR/>I decry the killings of any civilians. But Israel, while continuing to kill Palestinians, responds to counter-action in a totally disproportionate way.<BR/><BR/>As I said, more at mine which I don't want to repeat in full on somebody else's blog.Madam Miaowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-33731187380268830462008-12-28T16:08:00.000+00:002008-12-28T16:08:00.000+00:00Patriot,steady on.

But:<BR/><BR/>What other country, when attacked in an unprovoked aggression across a recognized international frontier, is then put on a countdown clock by the world, given a limited time window in which to fight back, regardless of whether it has restored its own security? <BR/><BR/>What other country sustains 1,500 indiscriminate rocket attacks into its cities every one designed to kill, maim and terrorize civilians and is then vilified by the world when it tries to destroy the enemy's infrastructure and strongholds with precision-guided munitions that sometimes have the unintended but unavoidable consequence of collateral civilian death and suffering?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
