THE WAR IN GAZA

It looks like the Palestinian people are in fact helping the Israeli military target HAMAS more precisely - this is a good sign

Testifying before the United States Senate in 1978, Richard Helms, former CIA Director, stated; "We had task forces that that were striking at Cuba constantly. We were attempting to blow up power plants. We were attempting to ruin sugar mills. We were attempting to do all kinds of things in this period. This was a matter of American government policy."[49]

Following the rise to power of the left-wing Sandinista government in Nicaragua, the Ronald Reagan administration ordered the CIA to organize and train the Contras, a right wing guerrilla group. On December 1, 1981, President Reagan signed an initial, one-paragraph "Finding" authorizing the CIA's paramilitary war against Nicaragua.[61]

The Republic of Nicaragua vs. The United States of America[62] was a case heard in 1986 by the International Court of Justice which found that the United States had violated international law by direct acts of U.S. personnel and by the supporting Contra guerrillas in their war against the Nicaraguan government and by mining Nicaragua's harbors. The US was not imputable for possible human rights violations done by the Contras. The Court found that this was a conflict involving military and para-military forces and did not make a finding of state terrorism.

Florida State University professor, Frederick H. Gareau, has written that the Contras "attacked bridges, electric generators, but also state-owned agricultural cooperatives, rural health clinics, villages and non-combatants." U.S. agents were directly involved in the fighting. "CIA commandos launched a series of sabotage raids on Nicaraguan port facilities. They mined the country's major ports and set fire to its largest oil storage facilities." In 1984 the U.S. Congress ordered this intervention to be stopped, however it was later shown that the CIA illegally continued (See Iran-Contra affair). Professor Gareau has characterized these acts as "wholesale terrorism" by the United States.[63]

I can't believe how some can justify the mass killing of innocent people (in this case 1/3 children) for any reason what so ever.

They don't care who dies.

HAMAS has no problem justifying the use of innocent people ...

It's not in the paper; it's on the wall
A Brief History of CIA Sponsored Terrorism 1951-2002

1957-1973

Laos " The CIA carries out approximately one coup per year trying to nullify Laos’ democratic elections. The problem is the Pathet Lao, a leftist group with enough popular support to be a member of any coalition government. In the late 50s, the CIA even creates an “Armee Clandestine” of Asian mercenaries to attack the Pathet Lao. After the CIA’s army suffers numerous defeats, the U.S. starts bombing, dropping more bombs on Laos than all the U.S. bombs dropped in World War II. A quarter of all Laotians will eventually become refugees, many living in caves.

1959

Haiti " The U.S. military helps “Papa Doc” Duvalier become dictator of Haiti. He creates his own private police force, the “Tonton Macoutes,” who terrorize the population with machetes. They will kill over 100,000 during the Duvalier family reign. The U.S. does not protest their dismal human rights record.

1961

The Bay of Pigs " The CIA sends 1,500 Cuban exiles to invade Castro’s Cuba. But “Operation Mongoose” fails, due to poor planning, security and backing. The planners had imagined that the invasion will spark a popular uprising against Castro; which never happens. A promised American air strike also never occurs. This is the CIA’s first public setback, causing President Kennedy to fire CIA Director Allen Dulles.

Dominican Republic " The CIA assassinates Rafael Trujillo, a murderous dictator Washington has supported since 1930. Trujillo’s business interests have grown so large (about 60 % of the economy) that they have begun competing with American business interests.

HAMAS has no problem justifying the use of innocent people including children as human shields.
HAMAS has no problem justifying purposely locating their bases of operation in and amongst the innocent.

HAMAS is responsible for the mass killing of innocent people - in this case 1/3 children.

Americans do it on a daily, continuing basis, Montana.

Half a million Iraqi children died because of a US led embargo against Iraq and that was before the illegal invasion. The list of countries is long and the reign of terror has been long and it continues unabated.

All the while you and your ilk support the various terrorist acts perpetrated by the US government around the world.

So, killing 200 people for every one that HAMAS was responsible for is suppose to be justified. Are you ******* kidding me???? Since when does 2 wrongs make a right.

Wow!!!! It's very scary to me knowing there are so many people out there who feel the same as you do. I don't ever want to know how it feels to have so little regard for innocent human being. How can you not imagine yourself in the same position others are in. I use to think it was natural to put yourself in someone elses shoes before forming an opinion, but I found out soon enough that we all don't share that ability that I use to think was natural.

I, and all other students, said it every day for nine years, right hand over the heart, facing the American flag, while in the lower grades.

This is precisely the kind of stupidity that enables people like you to be duped by the likes of the neocon idiots who infested the WH.

Here is yet another prime example, Foofie, of the rampant stupidity that this type of indoctrination engenders. Y'all rant and rave about communist propaganda and you do the same damn thing.

That you see it surfacing in h2oman should come as no surprise whatsoever.

I think of it as the opinion of a foreigner - I value the opinion of Americans more.
