The irrefutable truth is that the innocent people have literally no where to go and instead of attacking the actual threats, IDF attack the innocent citizens who haven't taken part in the war.

I think it's a seriously ugly thing that Israel is bombing schools. I saw videos of parents in agony because their children died from the bombing. Israel bombing the schools is pretty ****ed up.

Israel should stop fighting they obviously have the advantage. Maybe make a deal for Hamas to stop firing rockets in order for IDF troops to retreat and a permanent rocket cease fire

Doing so would put many Israeli soldiers at risk, that is what they are trying to avoid hence the bombardments and airstrikes. Hamas will not allow them to do that because they would lose their meat shields.

Like every government official isn't really an answer, if he's taking donation money to buy weapons and fuel this war I don't think he's like any government official.
Yasser Arafat would have never done anything like that and if you have 2-3 billion dollars in Palestine I doubt he earned 1 single dollar and I don't know any government official who isn't corrupt as hell to have this much money.
If Palestinians want a state (that's what people believe Hamas are fighting for) it will be controlled by Hamas (who a large percentage Palestinians vote for) who are an Islamist militant group that despise Israel.
I don't think this would work out pretty well.
'UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon "expresses his outrage and regret at the placing of weapons in a UN-administered school," a United Nations statement said last week. "By doing so, those responsible are turning schools into potential military targets, and endangering the lives of innocent children, UN employees working in such facilities and anyone using the UN schools as shelter," the statement added.'
Proof that Hamas terrorists are using schools with children to launch their attacks.
I didn't know Gaza is so small the only place they could think of using are hospitals and schools.
The people Gaza can look to is Fatah, but Hamas hate their own Palestinian brothers.
Actually Israel conducts the operations in response to the rockets being fired.

"Palestinian armed groups have stored munitions in and fired indiscriminate rockets from residential areas in the Gaza Strip," an Amnesty report noted recently. The groups have also "reportedly urged residents in some areas of the Gaza Strip not to leave their homes" after Israel had warned it would attack the area, all of which have the effect of putting Palestinians at risk in the fighting.''-Amnesty International
Also I have never said that Israeli civilians who don't live next to the borders are victims as most of the rockets are intercepted.
Israel is a first world country, I'm sure most of them carry on with their lives normally.
It is Hamas fault that they deploy their rockets from civilian areas and thus bring danger to the civilians.
Also Gaza officials found shelter in Gaza City's Shifa Hospital, I don't think they chose a hospital because of lack of options.
Another important question: Why are Fatah activists under house arrest?

Hamas does not want peace with Israel and will eventually attack Fatah.
They use schools and hospitals as shelter.
They attack innocent Egyptian soldiers and civilians.
Their leader is a warlord.
They use human shields.

Empty schools that weren't being used as shelters T_T. Give me proof they're launching from civilian areas.

I can't believe you're supporting these terrorists if you want a Palestinian state you should support Fatah or something.

Hamas keep breaking the peace. They have broken almost all of the ceasefires with continued rocket firing. Neither side are particularly looking for peace but lets face it, Israel will come out of this better unless negotiations are successful.

What would happen if Hamas got what they wanted though? Would they be better off? You seem to support them so answer me those questions.

Screw Hamas I don't care what happens to them. I support their fight to lift the siege and blockade on Gaza so that the people there can finally be allowed the basic rights which apparently everyone is supposed to have.

Posted by lord greg (Post 495157)

The problem is that Hamas will be in control if they 'win', they will be unpopular because the only reason people like them is because they say they will free Gaza. If they 'free' Gaza from Israel it will just be under their control which won't be much better.

Posted by iHot (Post 495159)

They're already in control. People in Gaza know what they're about and judging by the fact most of them support Hamas I don't think they're very opposed to it. I mean when you've been living under a blockade, have no job, your friends and family are dead and you have nowhere to go.. The hope they speak of is like a light at the end of the tunnel.

Nothing is worse than that. Nothing.

I'm shocked anyone even sides with Israel anymore. Their support is dwindling though. People are opening their eyes now and aren't just getting their news from Fox News,MSNBC or BBC which are all pro-Israel and give no real account of the situation in Gaza. When I see dead kids on the ground I ask myself "Who are the real terrorists?"
