Our Hearts Are Breaking

The problem isn't that one side wants the other side dead, as this guy asserts; it's that one side is denying the rights of the other side and oppressing the other side.

Of course, the other side is fighting and will not cease fighting until they recoup their rights.

"If Israel laid down its arms and announced today, 'we will fight no more' there would be an immediate destruction of the state of Israel and mass murder of its Jewish population."
Talk about hyperbolic leaps of logic.

Gaza (along with the West Bank and East Jerusalem) is occupied Palestinian territory under international law, determined by the vast majority of the world, as well as the highest court in the world, the UN’s International Court of Justice.

Gaza cannot commit aggression against Israel, since Israel is in constant and continual commission of illegal aggression against Palestine by occupying it

(illegally and sadistically blockading it

and frequently committing terrorism against its civilians,

including by targeting them with chemical weapons provided by US taxpayers – see “Rain of Fire” by Human Rights Watch).

As documented by Amnesty Int’l, Human Rights Watch, and many others, Israel intentionally targets and murders civilians, including children, en masse.

Israel also kidnaps and tortures children,

Gaza did not initiate this current round of violence; Israel did:

On May 20th, the Israeli government murdered 2 unarmed Palestinian teens, one on video, and wounded a third.

The firing of pathetic scrap metal rockets from impoverished Gaza, which have killed no one, were in fact launched in response to earlier Israeli bombings, killings, assassinations, and arrests of Palestinians, including children.
Since the year 2000, Israel has killed 1,500 Palestinian children, while Palestinians have killed 132 Israeli children. That means Israel has killed over 1,000% percent more Palestinian children than vice versa.

“. most of the wars in which Israel was involved were the result of deliberate Israeli aggressive design . None of these wars – with the possible exception of the 1948 War of independence – was what Israel refers to as Milhemet Ein Berah (war of necessity). They were all wars of choice . ” – Defending the Holy Land, pg. 35, (bold added)

“I review a number of peace-related opportunities ranging from the Zionist-Hashemite collusion in 1947 through the collapse of the Oslo Process in 2000. In all those cases I find that Israeli decision makers – who had been willing to embark upon bold and daring military adventures – were extremely reluctant to make even the smallest concessions for peace .

Israel has violated more UN resolutions than any other country.

Noam Chomsky: “Hamas is regularly described as ‘Iranian-backed Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.’ One will be hard put to find something like ‘democratically elected Hamas, which has long been calling for a two-state settlement in accord with the international consensus’—blocked for over 30 years by the US and Israel. All true, but not a useful contribution to the Party Line, hence dispensable.”

In the history of all rocket and mortar fire into Israel, 26 people, total, have been killed.

And remember, Palestine breaks ceasefires far less often than Israel, as documented above.

This number of 26 is in contrast to the minimum number of 1,400 people who were murdered by Israel in a single one of its terrorist atrocities, the 2009 Gaza Massacre.

Noting that in the current massacre, zero Israelis and over 100 Palestinians have thus far been killed,

and noting that Gaza is a concentration camp

The rhetoric and tactics of Hamas and other groups resisting Israeli occupation and colonization can be brutal (though far less so than Israel).

these groups are resisting having their country stolen and their people dispossessed and annihilated.

having their land stolen and their people massacred, the same thing that Israel is doing to the Palestinians.

Palestinians have the right under international law to resist occupation, ethnic cleansing, colonization, aggression, and annexation.

if Israel doesn’t Like rockets, they should decolonize Palestine.

The Palestinians have the right to use arms to resist an occupation .

In my opinion, a national Palestinian leadership committed to mobilizing nonviolent resistance can defeat the Israeli occupation if those of us living abroad lend support to it.”

READ ON AT THE FOLLOWING. LOTS OF EXCELLENT LINKS.

Makes perfect sense to me. Hamas is a terrorist organization

Makes perfect sense to me. Hamas is a terrorist organization,

9/11 deaths gamebit is really boring. These are all fake, there is no reality.

You don't care because they (palestinian children) are not your children. Right?

Muslim soldiers will revenge of every palestinian child death.

Israel cruality in Gaza

Israel is an ally of the US.
