been hearing about this on the news the past couple of days with Israel attacking Gazza during the Islamic holy month. As a person who doesn't have an opinion on the issue curious to see what everyone thinks of the situation.

#2It's absolutely tragic.
While I side with Israel most times, it's pretty apparent the murder of the 3 Jewish teenagers was used an excuse to go into Gaza and lay down a severe punishment and send a message. Seems to be evidence the government already knew the kids were dead and had suspects, but held off on revealing this to get the population riled up to support the latest military action.
One of the most disgusting scenes used to be the site of crowds cheering in the streets after a tragedy against Israel (or the US). The footage of that was played over and over, and it seemed incomprehensible to most that people could be so gleeful about the deaths of others.
Yet the latest images of Israelis enjoying the bombings in Gaza (Srdot Cinema it's being called) makes a person realize that it's really not that different.
When you have one side believing the land is theirs by order of God, and the other side with voices (not all, but loud voices) who refuse to even acknowledge that side has a right to exist - it's going to be a non stop powder keg that keeps blowing up. From the illegal settlements, to Iran smuggling in arms - it's a money maker for the weapons industry and chum in the water for the zealots.

#5There are still people alive today who survived the concentration camps of Hitlers Germany. Hate so strong, that a big portion of the world stood by and almost allowed an entire people to be exterminated (before any of us get on our high horse, maybe read up on the MS St. Louis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_St._Louis)
On the other hand, you have people who have been born into an occupied territory and essentially have lived a semi-jailed experience since birth. Watch a documentary on what life is like for guards who work these checkpoints, or people who have to cross them daily (for work or medical care etc).
Both sides have strong members of their communities who dehumanize the other side (google the hamas kids cartoons).
It's absolute insanity. Oh, and there's a sizable portion of American evangelicals who not only pray this leads to world war 3, but are financially doing everything they can to try and make it happen (since that would expedite the return of Jeebuz)Comment -

Disseminate Cultural Marxist propaganda to demoralize than destroy the West, whilst at the same time you ethnically cleanse the indigenous population in a theocratic apartheid state.

#11Hamas is on their own. Most of their old "friends" have abandoned them. Like it or not, Israel is playing this hand right. Hamas is the bright bulb about to go out. Not saying Israel will still not have a billion enemies. Just possibly one less.Comment -

#14have you guys forgotten the amount of rockets being thrown into israel every damn day?!?! THE NUMBER IS AT OVER 1500!!!!! What the hell is Israel supposed to do!!?!? The 3 kids had nothing to do with the ground offensive!!!! Its the rockets damn man. Israel accepted the cease fire, hamas did not cease fire. Hamas wants the END of Israel, and Israel wants to protect its people. Don't blame Israel for being stronger, they attempted to stop this war many times. Hamas has even missed Israel and shot down some of the Supply that ISRAEL GIVES TO ITS ENEMY. They even attack Israelis going into Gaza with food. I still don't get how Israel is wrong in any way here. Its nuts that everyone expects 1500 rockets to just go unpunished. Im sorry but if any country launched as much as 1 into the US, it would be the end of that country. Enough is enough, I'm just sad that 18 year old troops had to go in there to risk their lives and will have to kill civilians that are being used as human shields. Just sick, i thought these kind of wars were only in the history books.Comment -

#16Israel has done nothing wrong. As a matter of fact they have even tried to prevent civilians deaths by dropping leaflets detailing a missile strike was coming and even going as far as hitting their target with a missile with no explosive head so it would warn the people inside to gtfo because the real one is coming next.
When terrorist move into your neighborhood you can either do what's right or you can be a sheep. Guess what being a sheep gets you?Comment -

#19Do the math
Since Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, terrorists have fired more than 11,000 rockets into Israel. Over 5 million Israelis are currently living under threat of rocket attacks.More than half a million Israelis have less than 60 seconds to find shelter after a rocket is launched from Gaza into Israel. Most rockets launched from Gaza into Israel are capable of reaching Israel’s biggest cities, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.Rocket fire from Gaza is a constant threat facing Israel’s civilians. In 2011 alone, 630 rockets from Gaza hit Israeli towns. That’s an even higher number than in 2010, when 231 rockets hit Israel.Comment -

#21How many Israelis have actually been killed or injured by these rockets? Not very many. The rockets are low tech, small and very inaccurate. Everybody mentions the thousands of rockets that have been fired, but no one mentions the fact that very few people have been hurt by them. The Israelis kill many more Palestinians than they lose.Comment -

#26The bottom line is this. Hamas, like other Arab Islamic Militant groups in the area, know only one thing. That is how to kill. They could care less about their own survival, or the survival of anyone else, be they Arab or Jew. The only way to rid the world of these people is to kill all of them because this is the only thing that they understand. Hamas, Isis, Iranians, and other fanatical Islamics must be killed because they do not care about life, so they are perfectly willing to sacrifice their own worthless lives to take others out. Israel knows this. Unlike the arsehole we have in the White House, Israel understand that their very existance depends on them taking Hamas out.Comment -

#30Brilliant idea. Kill every member of Hamas and anybody remotely affiliated with them. Even if it means killing 80% INNOCENT CIVILIANS to do so. What do you think the next group to emerge after Hamas will look like? These will be survivors of this bombardment whose families and friends were massacred just for being brown and in Gaza. This is HUMAN beings we're talking about. Remember how vengeful Americans were after 9/11? Imagine 50 years of occupation, dehumanization, blockades, murder and oppression.Comment -
