Firefire:

The purpose, reasons and intention behind every action validate or invalidate every other thought.

I believe you understand my point(s).

Daresh:

The Jews in Israel bought the lands that they occupied from the Arabs during the British Mandate of Palestine. The Palestinians failed to accept the demarcation of the land and decided to declare war on Israel in 1948. Unfortunately they lost and Israel used military force to seize even the land that was allotted to Palestine and even the Sinai from Egypt.

You cannot sell your land and ask for it back because you dont like what the purchasers are doing with it. You cannot fight a war, lose and expect your territory to still be intact. The fact that palestinians are stateless is their own fault.

I agree the Israelis are a bit high handed but when someones sole mission is to wipe you out, you tend to be paranoid. Hamas build their tunnels and missile launchers in schools and mosques. They urge their people to use their bodies to shield these military installations. Then they use their dead to gather international sympathy.

Look let them fight from now till kingdom come, Israel is here to stay forever.

barcanista: What has civilians got to do with the actions of Militants? Why not hunt down the militants?and Who is a terrorist?

ogaju007:

I get your point jo... everybody believes there is a purpose for their actions. so the 2 sides have a right to defend themselves but if they think deep, dem dey fight over nothing.

Blockus:


What would you rather have Palestine do?! Sit back and allow the Israelis wipe them out?!

At this rate, I support the Palestines. Israel should be wiped off the surface of the earth.

Blockus:


More Sentiments, less objectivity.. #No Offence.

Pick up the Map of Israel and see how Israel split Palestine into two with one half at the Gaza end and the other at the West bank end, kept out of THEIR ancestral land by High fences, razor wire and watchtowers with snipers.

The issue of human shield is truly sad.. but in a War where you are clearly the underdog, you do what you have to for victory. Remember that the shields they are using are still their own kids and wives and so this can't be as easy as you think for them, but also remember that if they don't fight to get back their land, home and freedom, those kids are dead anyways.

You said Israel loose one of their? Lol.. Israel has Patriot missile knicknamed iron dome that intercepts the cheapasss rockets fired by Hamas. Israel has enough land mass to move their citizens way beyond the missile range of the Hamas rockets, Israel also has the luxury of a missile warning system with an App sef that alerts them of incoming Hamas missiles. The Palestinians in Gaza can't move beyond Israeli rockets range because behind them is the Sea, they also don't have patriot missiles so every single missile fired from Israel hits it's target. Their missile warning system barely allows you upto 5 minutes to find safety before impact and they also have no formidable ally backing them with the same might the Americans are backing Israel.

This isn't a war, this iss an annihilation.

BankuTilapia2:


Dont start a fight you cant finish.

nnatom:


hear yourself,assuming the Hamas bombs where not intercepted in mid air where will they land. is it on empty area or pupulated area. bros think well and draw your conclusion wisely.

coogar:

please, don't use your beer parlour tactics in this debate. are the arabs in north africa firing rockets to innocent women & children? is there any perennial crisis in north africa where innocent citizens are being slaughtered by rams.

israel are making the excuse that because weapons are being fired from civilian areas, they are entitled to use indiscriminate total force against civilian areas - that's wrong. they cannot do that.

barcanista: Hamas was DEMOCRATICALLY elected by Palestinians to lead West Bank. What is Israels problem? why should they be intruding in matters that doesn't concern them? If it were me, I will do more than what hamas did should anyone try to bully and illegally occupy Okrika Kingdom.

ogaju007:

Bro i understand your view but the fact that we have our problems doesn't stop us from discussing world affairs. US has more problems than naija (My opinion) but yet they package themselves to be the most powerful country in the world.

coogar:

the killing of several hundreds of innocent women & children is what you describe as a "bit" high handed?

ok.....

fairheven:
U tell me,which one have they not denied? And u expected them to own-up?

Daresh:
Why is Hamas using women and children to sheild their weapons? To attract international sympathy?

Israel has weighed their options and have decided their citizens are more important to them than international angst.

The Israelis even give warnings before bombing a target.

Hamas is wrong wrong wrong.

50calibre: Britain is a mere American stooge, their fear and subservience to America overrides any form of rationality and undermines its relevance internationally. Many people know this and Baroness Warsi (a respected member of the conservative) knows this too.

Not every one has the stomach to sit in the midst of cowards who are too sheepish to stand their grounds or voice their opinions.

The conservative's approach to this conflict has been very idiotic, hypocritical and shameful, Britain prides itself as a champion of human rights and freedom, but somehow they turn taciturn when it comes to Israel, and this is because they're scared of stepping out on their masters in Washington.

Israeli genocide in Gaza has to stop someday, the Arab world itself is very divided, some have been deliberately quiet on this conflict, its imperative the Arab world unite in condemnation of Israel (maybe not for Hamas, but for the little kids being slaughtered)

The Americas are so far the only ones taking a tougher stance, Bolivia has expelled the Israeli ambassador and labelled Israel a terrorist state, Brazil has had some strong words as well, same for Paraguay & Uruguay.

Hitler was justified in his hatred for the Jews.

coogar:

which warnings? like targeting a UN school and killing 10 people? you mean UN schools also hide weapons for the hamas?

Daresh:

You dont know they dont. Or have a tunnel.

coogar:
a school that belongs to the united nations would have a tunnel aiding hamas? really? why did israel quickly change their story then that they only suspected militants were operating nearby?

suspicion? militants? 10 people dead!!!

coogar:


sometimes i think you little kids should stay off the internet & go to the local library and read. you are supporting the mass murder of innocent women & children on a public forum. you are a disgrace to the village that took part in contributing to your half-baked education.

ogaju007:

If their views dont match with yours, it doesn't make them ignorant... If they are ignorant, then enlighten them. For all you know, you might be the ignorant one.

careema:

is three teens worth all this bloodshed? its tyranny simple as ABC.

PhumiTJ: d fact is hamas woke up a sleeping lion and expect not to be bitten where does DAT happen

dey got what dey deserved

say4gunit: May Ebola virus strike isreal! I swear this world is a scam, may God punish all those in support of killing of women and children!
The world should bury itself in shame.
For those in nairaland that are blindly supporting israel to be killing innocent civilians then i pray "maybSango strike u"

MarieSucre: the hypocrisy in the world don tire me. it is wrong for israel to just go and occupy people's land. I read somewhere that jews used to live in what is present day mecca and a place called Khaybar. let the palestinians and the saudi's agree so that go back to live in mecca and khaybar. abi where them want make dem dey?
