Sparky55: I never said it was right to massacre people but they do have a right to defend themselves. Their weapons are good but it's impossible for bullets, bumbs and missiles to distinguish between a civilian and a combatant.
Sorry you don't like may questioning technique. They are not meant to accuse they are meant to make one think. I guess that could be seen as malicious by some. Anyway, I'll pose the same question to you. Do you think if the rolls were reversed Hamas would allow Israel to continually launch rockets at Palestine?
You are wrong because:
- your questioning technique is not a problem but your logic is. If we accept such a logic we could ask: What would do European Jews to Hitler if the rolls were reverse? And give excuse to Hitler. ? Or. If Germans had not attacked Poland, Poland will attack them if the rolls were reversed.
Wrong.
- weapon, bullets, bombs and missiles are for sure not capable to distinguish between a civilian and a combatant but those who fire them are. So, according to the results they don't care for difference or they shoot intentionally. Both is crime. This is tactic: "First shoot than don't ask". According to dimensions of crime it is evidently that this is official tactic of Israelis and this is one of the reasons why I am so convicted that Olmert, Barak and Livni are responsible .
- Let me remind you on a basic human rights. Each human has right on home, family, work, health and so on....Palestinian people are driven to exile almost for 60 years ago. 60 years they live like refugees ! Can you imagine what is that? 60 years of misery and humiliation with no hope. Do they have right to fight for their human rights? Nobody cares for them anyway and who will care if they will be sitting in ghettos waiting that Israelis help them.
- Right to defend is out of question. But even in a worst war are valid some international rules ( Geneva Convention ). Fact is that Israel, for a long, long time is violating those rules. And what. Nothing. In all Israelis state history none of Israeli soldiers is newer asked for responsibility. Newer, even if there were done some bad things that can be compared with what had done Saadam Husein to Kurds and whole world had seen them.
- I know, heard on my own ears from Israelis, for this : "Only death Palestinian is good Palestinian". And I'd been also told, tet a tet, that it does not meter if it is child because when he grows up he will be, so and so, Palestinian fighter and consequently it is better to kill him before he do some damage. That is statement wide spread and supported in Israel, Army and among civilians.
