Hehe, I did not read the whole topic for obvious reasons. My thoughts on the matter? I think what's going on is a travesty. Palestians were wrong for launching missles for sure, I agree 100%, but there was supposed to be some form of truce. Since June, the sanctions and road blocks were litterally killing Palestinians in Gaza and nothing was being done. It's the classic story of the oppressed and their radical actions out of desperateness. Are they right? Hell no, but why don't you put yourselves in their shoes. I am not siding with anyone and I am trying to give my opinion without being bias so please save your quirky remarks.

Fun fact, the missles launched at Israelis were completely shit. Since this whole situation started, I am at a count of like 4 Israelis civilian dead and more soldiers injured. This does not compare at all at the attacks that were made upon the Palestinians. Use your fucking brain Israel. Missle attacks at empty schools? Compared to 500+ civilians with 20% of those children. Honestly, the media has a way of flipping the victims with the criminals. We've seen this time and time again. By the way, I am not calling Israeli criminals although I am very well close to. I really only care about the victims, save the politics until after please.

Right now, negotiations are trying to be made to end this but since Hamas is labelled a terrorist group, no matter if they were democratically elected, there will be no dealings with them. Egypt and a few other muslim countries are also closing their borders and placing sanctions on the Palestinians. What does this mean? You can expect more deaths. The only thing different this time around is that almost everyone wants this to end asap. Egypt government is really going to take some backlash for siding with the Israelis in this massacre and since the leader is already hated by many people, I will not be surprised if something actually happens there.

As is, a lot of the Arab countries want Hamas gone. Of course the Israelis feel the same way. This situation will cause more harm and the Israelis will not be pampered if they continue this I guarantee you this. If I were some of the Arab leaders I would threaten to pull money right out of the U.S Economy instead of placing sanctions on dying people. The U.S would have to oblige as they can not afford that to happen at all cost.

Just my two cents.

Rev, there is also a loud part who highly support of the attack, though, granted, violent and mostly stupid. Criticizing and action against your government is allowed in a free (as of yet) country.
The anti Zionist Jews are a fairly small group and could hardly represent the entire Jewish Community.

Ghost: Hamas doesn't acknowledge Israel's existence, thus making negotiation a difficult, almost fruitless process
In the end it comes down to whether one believes that the two nations can live peacefully and freely, or that one side should pack his things and get the fuck out. 

Abelone:

Well do you blame them? The truce was essentially pointless and now they are trapped rats. All the wordplay is not helping them and the world is basically against them. They are left with very few options, they chose to fight. I pose one question, what happens if Hamas just gives up completely? Obviously they still can not negotiate because of their status. Do you honestly think that the Palestinians will be treated fairly afterwards? We saw how that went last time. My point is that both groups are stubborn as shit BUT Isreal, as the big dog with so much support should seek to resolve this. What they are doing is entirely counter productive. If the Palestinians had been living a better life after the truce they probably would be less inclined to what they have done.

I just feel sad that there will be more victims because of such stupidity. An arbitrator maybe? Some one from the outside needs to resolve this.

P.S:

I kind of resent what you said to Rev Ryan. How exactly is he blindly supporting Hamas? Try not to sound so hot headed and ask him directly. I think he was just trying to make a point.

Ryan what is wrong with you man?  No one is arguing that what they are doing is right. But just like you did with Rev, I can say your fucking blindly supporting the Israeli.

Sorry I asked man, I am just trying to keep this shit from being black and white. Can't we have an intelligent debate about this without breaking down and labelling people shit?

I should stay out these type of topics. No politics and religion at work... That shit should apply here.

Yeah, I am dumb, like I didn't know that those were the options. How realistic is it for one side to leave though? You should grow the fuck up and stop talking so much shit. Exactly when did I call you dumb? I really hate arguing with people like you who mix some facts, sarcasm, and name calling in a pot and just keeps stirring shit up.
