Palestinians Continue Rocket Attacks

[bozza]

I see tonight that the arabs are continuing to launch rocket attacks on the Jewish State despite the Israeli army retreating fom the West Bank and parts of the Gaza Strip. The Israelis say that they will re-occupy the area should the fierce penetration of Israeli cities fail to cease.

Thoughts?

Umm the Army only withdrew from Gaza, still in the West Bank

The rockets are very short range a few hundred metres at most, kilometre tops so it is not a fierce penetration at all. A tank shell travels further and far more accurately, oh and has a bigger warhead in the High Explosive round.

Last I heard Hamas were threatening more strikes but needed time to re-org.

Given the amount of destruction and killing the IDF did I am not suprised the Palestinian will want to have a go back.

The only currently reported incursion was the killing of two Palestinians who had breached the border and were attempting to lay mines in order to ambush a IDF convoy.

Saw an interview with the mother of an Israeli girl who was injured. Basically said the rockets weren't the problem, the problem was her own government occupying Palestinian territory.

A refreshing opinion from one of the victims on the Israeli side.

Its a never ending cycle of violence.

israel commits a war crime
palastine commits a war crime in retaliation
isreal retaliates
palastine retaliates
israel retaliates

etc etc etc

an interesting comment from harsha borgela (sorry for the spelling) re: india and pakistan, its the governments that generate the hate and the extremists at the edges. They NEED each other to hate.

same as bush's republicans need a bogey man/person to maintain fear and their power.

same as sharon and the mobs like hammas and al axa etc. These p r i c k s need each other.

sharon fanned the flames of hate, because otherwise israel would NEVER have needed him. along side him are the ultra orthodox right wing freak nuts who make up a small portion of the israeli jewish population. I think if you wipe out the 10% of the jewish population that are war mongering right wing nut freaks, and 10% of the palastinian population who are in hammas, al axa etc, the rest of the population could combine to make a pretty decent country.

unfortunately the fork knuckles at the extremeties dictate the policy for the both sides.

same as northern ireland, quebec, pakistan/india, Sri Lanka etc etc etc

It will all stop when the occupiers of Israel leave all together. That will not happen, so the war will never end.

so you want the muslims and jews to both leave and give it back to the Christians?

 

[BlueMark]

One day Medusala you will figure out that the conflict is mainly about the rights of the Palestinians to have thier own state, something the Israelis have been denying them for half a century and the Zionist belief that they are entitled to have a exclusivly Jewish state in the biblical lands of Israel which includes the West bank Sinai and bits of Syria and Lebanon. It was no co-incidence that the 67 ceasefire line pretty much mirrored the Zionist claim.

 

[ZimZum]

Why not. I'm pretty sure it is safe for the Jews to go back to Europe.

 

[BlueMark]

Further the biggest threat to the stablity of Israel is not the Palestinians but the rapid right wing Settlers who are quite openly threatening a civil war if any settlement are removed let alone a full scale withdrawal from Gaza

Seems that Israel is losing friends very fast. Looks like people are finally beginning to see it for the pariah racist aparthied state that it is!

Israeli house demolitions violate laws: US group

Israeli troops have destroyed hundreds of houses and left thousands of Palestinians homeless in the southern Gaza Strip in operations that far exceeded military security requirements during the past four years, the New York-based organisation Human Rights Watch has said.

The organisation alleged that Israel's excessive use of force against innocent Palestinian civilians in southern Gaza had contributed to outrage across the Muslim world towards Israel and its closest ally, the United States.

"The pattern of destruction strongly suggests that Israeli forces demolished homes wholesale, regardless of whether they posed a specific threat, in violation of international law," Human Rights Watch said in its report on Monday, adding that in most of the cases "the destruction was carried out in the absence of military necessity".

Responding to the report, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman, David Saranga, said the Government was doing its "utmost to minimise the damage to the civilian populations".

The Israeli military has destroyed at least 1686 Palestinian houses in the Rafah refugee camp and adjacent city of Rafah, which stretch four kilometres along the Gaza border with Egypt, according to the United Nations. Nearly 17,000 people - about 10 per cent of Rafah's population - have been left homeless during the past four years, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees reports.

The Israeli military says it has destroyed an estimated 100 smuggling tunnels during those operations.

· The Israeli army has cleared an officer accused by comrades of repeatedly shooting a 13-year-old Palestinian girl to make sure she was dead, but upheld his suspension because of his poor relations with subordinates. An army investigation also found no wrongdoing by soldiers who fired at the girl as she approached an observation post near the Rafah refugee camp on October 5.

The investigation backed an earlier army account that soldiers opened fire because they suspected she was planting a bomb. The girl's family said she was on her way to school.

Another telling paragraph. So the Army clears the officers for shooting over 100 bullets into a harmless 13 year old girl....yet they upheld his suspension due to poor relations with subordinates.

Hmmm....moral of the story. Its ok to murder young palestinians girls, but make sure you treat your subordinates well.

Oh...and apparently its ok for soldiers to fire at any girls who happen to stray towards an observation post.

So typical of these child murdering zionist pigs. MillerCHF/Jane.....I bet you guys are really proud!

I assume this was a joke?

And while your at it perhaps you can give Rome back to the Pagans.

How long did Christians rule of Palestine Medusala...What...300-400 years max.

Muslims ruled over Palestine for 1300 years.

So your claim is as ridiculous as a muslim claiming Spain....you were after all aware that muslims ruled over spain for 500 years....longer then Christianity ruled over Palestine.

 

[MillerCHF]

Shhhhh...don't tell the Spaniards that. They still think the bombings happened because of a small Spanish military presence in Iraq.
