truth, its cause hes jewish and the entirety of the world jewry has a persecution complex that lets them think they can get away with anything because through history they have been discriminated against/made to live as subcitizens in one capacity or another basically non stop and that somehow allows them to channel their frustrations against the world by blowing up a bunch of brown people I dont know

was this aimed at me?

i'm not even jewish.

Watch out you're about to be accused of being an anti semite!!!

Well its a racial generalization so duh you idiot

It's like me saying "black people have such a complex because they were brought to America as slaves that they think the world "owes" them something so they can do what they like and take what they like and break any law".

its dumb wash cycle admitted it truth

Afura you're probably right in saying that "We get the point" with these pictures. I personally feel 50/50 about them myself. Why? Because I don't need pictures to justify my feelings of outrage, it's in my demeanour and that will never change. When I see these pictures I feel incredibly sad man, like really really down and even angry.

Still, there are many people who get so caught up in these news articles, opinions, and try teeter-totter at which side is right - To such an extent that they completely miss the point... People are dying while the involved leaders and on lookers are doing nothing to stop this.

Some people even argue without even seeing what is happening. Look at these pictures and please continue your civil conversations about "What ifs". It's really easy to say "YEAH EVERYONE KNOWS PEOPLE ARE DYING" but that's not true. Because if they DID, there would be more lenience to the victims FIRST and foremost. I also really hate when people say "It's war and people will die".

The fact that we accept this means we have lost the very thing that makes us human which is to empathize, sympathize, and at least have desire to make a change. These images are a double edge sword, it makes the surreal events come closer to home. At the same time it completely desensitizes us. It's really funny how we look at 30 deaths in Iraq as light news and the shooting such as the one that occured in subway of Bay as really bad. We have to treat them equally, one death is one death to many. Of course death is inevitable. But, if we can prevent them then we should! I never said I never felt bad for the Israeli citizens who were injured or killed but I don't even have time to mourn for them as there are so many more people dying in Gaza.

It's really funny how people are so up in arms for Gay marriage saying that we should legalize it. The reason why people are so compelled to fight for their cause is because that issue is much closer to home. A friend, family member, or someone you know maybe/was effected by this and thus we are compelled to voice our thoughts. A lot of people had their chance with that whole proposition 8 ruling and it must have been nice to fight for something you believe in. This situation in Gaza may feel far, may feel insignificant and surreal, but we NEED to voice our thoughts because if we don't then there is no authority or pressure to stop these events at all. Just imagine if these events were happening to you. Oh wait, that can never be so I don't care.

So, if you can't do something physically, can't use the system to work for you, then at least acknowledge and voice your opinion with your tongue. The fact that some people can't even do this baffles me.

Edit:

ZZzzzzz

Velfarre I was just trying to make a point. Yes, I'm well aware that gay marriages does not have anything to do with this conflict. My point is that we should care about both issues that are in our backyard as well as world issues. Sure, somethings will affect us more because it's right in our face, that's human nature and I'm not telling you to become some freedom fighter or whatever. I'm just saying that when things like mass killing occur in ANY nation then we should at least acknowledge the situation and not say "Who cares". I think that's wrong man, regardless of how trivial the two nation's history is.

No sides but the victims, I'm with Marcus on this one.

Edit:

Btw, I am really astounded by the coverage on this boom boom show, it is pretty thorough.

i changed my facebook status so i said i was a palestinian empathizer and this guy was like:

Right they legitimity did a raid in Israel to find a place where soldiers might be held, they found people got into a fight and they died, that started to fray it but it was beyond fixable, it wasn't until the Israelis were fired upon with almost 100 missiles that it ended completely, the death toll is hardly something to pick a side on, the Palestinians started it, they can end it just as easy why penalize the Israelis for being better warriors

highlighted the last part because it is probably the most disgusting thing i have ever heard on the subject

What Israel is doing is pretty despicable but the Israeli Palestinian conflict has been going on for how long now and neither side has done much to strengthen relationships.  They're both at fault here; Israel for not lifting the fucking blockade and Palestine for their rocket fire.  I'm sure I can trace this conflict back many more years and further prove that both sides did absolutely shit to strengthen relationships

thats exactly what i have been saying

Well I was addressing the few people who actually said who cares and the few who have thought this. Yeah you’re right though, I’m pretty sure no one really wished this would happen. I don’t think it was pointless to mention what I’ve said though.

FINALLY A LEVEL OF AGREEMENT.
