An Israeli human rights group says many more Palestinian civilians were killed in the Israeli military's campaign this year in Gaza than the army admits. B'Tselem said detailed research showed that out of 1,400 Palestinian deaths, 773 were civilians - many of them children. This contradicts an Israeli army report stating that fewer than 300 civilians died in the fighting earlier this year. Earlier this year the Israeli army said that 1,166 Gazans were killed in the conflict. The army said this figure included 709 militants from Hamas and other groups, and 295 non-combatants. According to B'Tselem, 1,387 Palestinians were killed. It says that figure includes 773 civilians, 330 combatants, 248 Palestinian police officers - whom Israel counts in its figure of militants - and 36 people whose role was unclear. The group estimates 252 people under the age of 16 died - the military puts that figure at 89. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8245433.stm It's clear here Israel made no distinction between militants or civillians. The absolutley shocking thing here is...the usual culprits will come and actually try to defend Israel....amazing.
I wish Israel had killed more members of Hamas, but all in all it was a pretty successful mission for them. It seems Hamas has certainly slowed their rocket fire into Israel. There is a lesson here for people: If you vote for a terrorist group as your government and they attack your neighbor, don't be surprised when your neighbor gets fed up and attacks you back. How is your view of the conflict from over there on your couch in the UK ThraXed?
Gaza death toll was higher? how about much smaller. Pallywood - media manipulation, distortion and outright fraud by the Palestinians and other Arabs designed to win the public relations war against Israel
How is you view from you sofa in sunny California watching FOX news? In 1949, when Israel was created, Israel occupied less than 10% of the entire region. Today Israel occupies more than 70%. Was it lawful? NO! Was it voted on at the UN? NO! I wonder what you say if the Canadians somehow managed to take over everything in the north from Washington state to New York state? You guys would go to Montreal and start blowing shit up wouldn't you? Of course you would, that's what the US does. So before you start mouthing off about who are terrorists and who are not, read a little bit of actual history instead of relying on your TV for information. And one last thing, if you do read up on some facts and analyse it what you quickly see is the stagering number of times where rocket fire was returned by Hamas, not initiated by them.
The Israelis bought the lands from the Arabs, and when they tried taking the land back by force after the UN decision - all the Muslims countries lost the war.. 1) The land was bought 2) The Muslims attacked Israel several times and lost every single time 3) The Palestinians didn't have enough bloodshed after 60 years so they chose Hamas, which doesn't recognize Israel and shoots on civilians for fun. you should read some facts from neutral sources before you talk nonsense, and with this kind of attitude the western countries are going to fall to the Muslim invaders - a movie for you to watch: Muslims taking over the world This is not a fight between Israelis and Palestinians anymore, it's a fight between light and darkness, love and hatred, peace and war, we must defeat the Muslims at all costs, for the sake of the world our children will live in.
LOL, you really suck up the propaganda don't you. I've seen that film at it is total propaganda. Show me a legal document that shows where the Israelis legally bought the land. I can show you a document where a deal was done Between a British High Commissioner and a Rothschild that gave the land over in a deal that saw the US enter the first world war. The document is a matter of public record. The UN upheld the deal which it had no legal right to do. In fact if you get down to the nitty gritty it wasn't even the UN who instigated this it started in the League of Nations and it was the very first mandate of the UN. But that only made it legal under British law and to members of the UN of which Palestine was not a member. Now given that the British were invaders and occupiers of the Palestinian region, that doesn't make it legal from a Palestinian perspective. The particular conflict you speak of actually took place after yet another Israeli push to offensively and illegally claim even more land and to secure the main source of water in the region for themselves. And of course the Palestinians attempted to repel that attack. Of course Israel, backed by the US, had far superior weapons and so obviously the Palestinians fought in vain. This does not make them terrorists. This makes them a people who did not have a choice when their land was taken from them but initially accepted it and lived peacefully along side the Israelis. If you check some factual historical records, the 60 years of conflict actually began on the day that the Israelis decided to expel all Arabs from Israeli held Palestine. Isn't it interesting how the Israeli's, mostly jews who relocated there after world war 2, complain and cry about how they were treated by the Germans then go on to commit the same crimes. Or how about when the Israelis attacked a US naval vessel in an attempt to draw the US into a battle with Egypt so that they could once again push for more land? Is that not terrorism? Of course it is. In fact it's worse, it's state based terrorism. Try changing the channel on your TV to one that is truely unbiased and watch just how the Israelis treat Arabs. If I were an Arab and being forced to live with that kind of terror every day of my life I'd probably do the same thing. And it's likely you would too. Don't judge until you've walked a mile in their shoes. Of course having an unbiased and informed knowledge of the last 200 years of history in that region would probably help you to understand what I am talking about. And just for the record, I neither like nor dislike either Jews or Arabs. All I know is that if you try to take my home, I'm going to fight you for it. I don't care what authority you think you have or what diplomatic group you are with. Take my home and I'll fight with everything I can muster. If I die in the battle, so be it.
Yep, not surprised you see over 700 civillians being killed as successful, typical behind the computer screen internet warrior.
Thank you for the video! I didn't need it of course to know that this is a Pallywood... but this one I have never seen before Edit: Pallywood returns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eww7BkkvFdo
That is correct....I like to refer to Electronic Intifada and Palestinkini.info for my resources on Palestinian issues. Lets not forget that IOF (Israeli Occupational Force) used chemical weapons such as white phosphorus on the innocent civillians of Gaza during their brutal rampage few months ago.
LOL it wasn't white phosphorus! It was a mixture of L.S.D and crystal meth, just too add some good mood to the party buddy, you know. It works!
