    Interesting to note @Reuters usage of terminology in their Gaza coverage. Israelis 'Killed' but Palestinian children 'died'. Objective?

    True, that area has been in conflict for thousands of years. I believe it's because of it's location. For the longest time, the only way to go around the Mediterranean sea was to cross through that area. The only other way was to get on a boat and cross that way. I doubt the U.S. being not involved would change anything except the culpability of the taxpayers in the bloodshed that is happening over there.

    Solution? You mean like a magic wand that can be waved upon mankind and we all starting singing Kum Ba Ya? Sorry, I do not have such a solution. I believe in individual rights and responsibilities. It's a common belief system here. I find that keeping my own moral compass pointed in the right direction is quite a sizable undertaking. Add the responsibility to teach my children self-control, and well, I'm booked.

    I don't believe in the "rights" of any government. As I stated previously, I believe all individuals have the right to life. Governments are not individuals. Governments derive just power from the consent of the governed. I am not a citizen of Israel. It's not my call.

    regardless, such disproportionate violence against civilians is repulsive. I would share this on facebook, but I don't have the stomach to. Instead I use articles and videos that aren't graphic, but every once in a while people need to see for themselves the realities of war and american ignorance.

    Agree. So what government do you think most closely aligns with individual rights? Israel with freer economic policies, more tolerance of alternative lifestyles and religions or the islamofascist hamas government? Just look at how they treat people of other religions and murder political opponents...
    It would be great if Hamas would adopt a semblence of individual rights based platform or any middle east government, that will never happen in our lifetimes.

    Is that a real question?

    I very much dislike your taste in videos. It was already posted on another thread earlier this week. For a woman who prides herself on her opposition to collectivism, she certainly is collectivist.

    I like this video much better.




    And I thought we had this civilized vs savage conversation earlier.

    Ahahahahhahahahhaah, WHAT?!?!?

    Israel is an apartheid state. As I type this Israel is oppressing people for their culture and religion. What because they let gays dance around and parade they're more tolerable? They have children in their prisons!

    Atrocious hypocrisy. Honestly, look at the history of Palestine... Jews have it, they hate on Muslims and Christians, Christians had it, they killed Jews and Muslims, Muslims had it, they protected the rights of both religions, and we're called Islamofascists?? lmao.

    Not picking on you Dr.3D,, but I have heard this often.

    Except for the wars of Empires,, and changing empires, that area is more peaceful than not.
    People of various religious faiths have lived together and peacefully coexisted. For the most part.

    Even as far back as the "Crusades",, which was just empire expansion under the guise of religion.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Hamas. Noble freedom fighters......Yeah right

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/s...,6497236.story
    Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri hailed the explosion.

    "Hamas blesses the attack in Tel Aviv and sees it as a natural response to the Israeli massacres...in Gaza," he told Reuters. "Palestinian factions will resort to all means in order to protect our Palestinian civilians in the absence of a world effort to stop the Israeli aggression."
    Maybe next they can bomb a senior home and gloat about it.

    This article poses questions other than the standard, loaded "Does Israel have the right to exist?" type.

    http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opi...831534612.html

    International law, the Gaza war, and Palestine's state of exception

    The large-scale military assault launched by Israel on Gaza, and the manner in which both Israeli and Palestinian forces are fighting this war, raise numerous red flags regarding large scale violations of human rights and international humanitarian law (IHL). Such violations have long characterised the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; yet despite post-Cold War improvements in the enforceability of international criminal law, in the Israeli-Palestinian context those who perpetrate human rights violations and war crimes seem largely immune to legal accountability.

    Certainly, international law offers no panacea for the death and destruction of war; nor does most media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict devote more than the scantiest attention to the human rights implications of such violence. International law does, however, provide the most important standard against which the conduct of opposing sides can be judged. Such judgments have political currency, if not during the heat of battle then later. As Gaza-based human rights campaigner Raji Sourani described it in the midst of the current violence, human rights is the "skin" to protect civilians from the all-out aggression of those who attack them.

    International law impacts the present war in Gaza in two key ways. One pertains to whether the violence deployed by each side complies with or violates IHL, in particular the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocol I of 1977. The other, more complicated issue pertains to the legal status of Gaza and its relationship to Israel, which profoundly affects what kind of violence Israel can deploy there.

    Since the 1967 conquest of Gaza and the West Bank, Israel has asserted that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to these areas or govern Israel's conduct toward Palestinian inhabitants on several grounds, including that Palestinians are not a High Contracting Party (state signatory). However, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the official guardian and authoritative interpreter of IHL, has consistently maintained that the Fourth Geneva Convention, which governs militarily captured territories and their civilian population, is applicable. This view is endorsed by a vast preponderance of international legal opinion, including United Nations resolutions and the opinion of the International Court of Justice.

    (cont....)
    I haven't had time to read the whole article. I may face my own internal hostilities if I don't get myself to the kitchen sooner rather than later. However, if nothing else, it does pose questions worth asking.

    Jews have always been bad. Muslims always good, yup that sums up things pretty good especially with how tolerant modern day islamic nations are!

    that's the best trick question, "right to exist" no country has a right to exist, there is no law, international or otherwise that declares or guarantees a country (or self proclaimed country) their "right to exist".

    that's basically what he meant. for a duration of thousands of years, people have had conflicts there, maybe not continuously, just repeatedly in the same area.

    The argument I hear all the time is "infighting for thousands of years".

    I trace my ancestry back to the ever peaceful Germans and Scots-Irish with more than a few border reiver surnames. Nothing to see there but peaceful coexistence.

    Here is a thought experiment: Two men ; one has a lifetime get out of jail card no matter what he does; the other has no card at all. Do you think both men will act the same throughout life? Answer honestly...

    Israel has guaranteed US taxpayer funding and a US lifetime 'get out of jail card'. They are acting like 'little angles' with it.

    My unvarnished point: Any time there is any serous talk of peace or cutting Israel off there will be a "Hamas rocket"
    to stop it.
