Which is weird because they do more THAN ANY NATION IN HISTORY at limiting civilian casualties. What other nation calls the building before bombing it to warn the people inside? What other nation drops a small bomb first after the phone call to show they are serious? Yes, mistakes have been and will be made. It's especially hard to limit casualties when the local bad guys force civilians to stay in certain places at gun point. It's especially hard when the bad guys use their hospitals, schools, ambulances and UN facilities (all 4 of those are documented have happened in the last week) to hide or launch their terror weapons.
The IDF cares and SHOWS they care more about civilians in Gaza than the people in charge of Gaza. I don't understand how any thinking person can come up with any other conclusion.
They care ? They CARE ? Do they also bring them candy and lollipops ? Do they also sing lullabies to their children before obliterating their building and transforming them into lifelong refugees who will live in camps ? I guess the important thing is the smile on their face when they are read a bedtime story before their father, uncles and brothers are taken into custody and shot.
Seriously. Get the f**k out with that sort of rhetorics.
If you are so lucky as to speak French, I cannot recommend
this article strongly enough. The media treatment of these events is poor, to say the least.
A few things ought to be reminded. Israel and Palestine are not equal. One is a State with the strongest allies and nukes, the other is an authority split into pieces without full recognition. So a conflict is necessarily uneven.
Israel is occupying territories that are granted to Palestinians by international law. Nearly everyone acknowledges that. The UN acknowledges that. It's no better than any other territorial occupation. This is what starts everything, not the kidnapping and killing of three high schoolers or anything.
Israel is constantly violating international law. They have a segregational policy, and they won't ever f**king stop building new colonies, for f**k's sake.
Hamas is an HP organization, but they are not alone in Palestinian affairs, and they also won an election. Why they won is the question we should be asking ourselves, not how bad they are.
Both sides act in a terrorist way, i.e : to induce terror inside their opponent's minds. One side just has waaaaaay more means to do so.
So the media is trying to treat this as an even fight between equal opponents who just love fighting for whatever reason, we're just too tired to be bothered to try to understand which one anymore. They treat these "Isrealo-Palestinian recurring conflicts" as Tom & Jerry episodes. They're maniacs, nothing can end their fighting, but really there's not much harm done, is there ?
There is. And there is a way of stopping it. Israel has the move. Not the Palestinian Authority, not the Hamas. Stop the colonies. Respect international law. That would be a start. The start. If Israel finally ends up acting decent and legal, there's no reason why Hamas or other nutjobs should keep winning in Palestine.
