Aid has never been blocked only Tariff ridden Israeli goods (Israel has full rights to tax and tariff all Palestinian imports).

Where do you suggest they store these weapons I honestly want to know? What gives israel the rights to have weapons and not Hamas? Hamas needs not take any responsibility for where their weapons are stored ISRAEL IS THE ONE BOMBING THESE PLACES KNOWING FULL WELL THAT CIVILIANS LIVE THERE. Hamas is not allowed weapons but Israel is, great.

Also yes let's make videogames references to describe refugees running away from certain death!!! hell yeah gun down those zombies!!!!! nuke them from orbit!!! lol even central african countries handle refugee situations more humanely than Egypt.

Before you post, keep in mind that Izz ad whatever is the one that attacked Israel first even though Israel had upheld the truce since 2006.

Hamas' military cell attacked first.

No it didn't are you kidding me we've posted SOURCED PROOF THAT ISRAEL BROKE THE CEASE FIRE.

But none of this is the point and you're just trying to rope me into some samantical argument when the fact is that you are white knighting a group of people who have killed over 800 PEOPLE. You're trying to make an argument on the only place you feel you have merit. And you know what? It's not surprising that you're trying to defend this at all. I'm not going to go into the details because I'm not a huge prick but it just doesn't surprise me at all.

A cease-fire was agreed to by both sides and began on June 19, 2008.[1] Rocket and mortar attacks still continued throughout the cease-fire although less frequently than before the cease-fire went into effect. A total of 20 rockets and 18 mortars were launched from the signing of the ceasefire until the beginning of November. This represented a 98% reduction in rocket fire four and a half month period prior to the signing of the ceasefire during which over 1,800 rockets were fired from Gaza.

And I have sourced proof that Hamas has attacked Israelian borders more than Israel has attack Hamas.

So who's proof is right, Truth?  The 1,800+ rockets Hamas launched in 2008 alone or Israel killing a handful of Hamas militia because they built a tunnel to kidnap Israeli soldiers?

I'm not trying to lure into nothing, I just want to know why you don't agree that Hamas should be held responsible for neglecting this situation?  Why don't you believe that Hamas should have agreed to the ceasefire proposed yesterday?  Their people are dying, Truth.  Innocent people and any other country would have hopped on the UN bandwagon and said "SAVE US FROM THIS BULLSHIT."

The world is trying to help Gaza and Gaza is ignoring the world so what's going here?  

I'm not white knighting anyone.  I'm looking at this from a realistic perspective while you're being blinded because an incident occurred that cost the lives of civilians which wouldn't have happened if both parties weren't so hamfisted.

But whatever, I'm done, because clearly you don't care that a countries' leaders are responsible for taking care of that country.  According to Truth, it's better to fight and leave your family vulnerable than discuss the situation in a diplomatic manner.  You make fun of me for "white knighting" while you blatantly ignore the facts that not just one group is fucking responsible.

Hope this shit ends soon.  Hope Israel is charged with war crimes.  Hope Hamas is ousted and a less fundamentalist organizations that actually has control over their armed forces establishes peace in Gaza.

Is there something not wrong with this picture, Truth?

Can you explain to me how to go about peace while still attacking someone?  Shake someone's hand then kick them in the balls?

Whatever, man.  Just continue believing that Hamas are the innocent white mice, pure as the day they were born and Israel are the evil black cats coming to stomp them out.

Hi. An Israeli here. An Israeli soldier actually. I've been inside Gaza for some time, got injured and now I'm in the hospital passing my time by reading all those anti-Israel posts around the internet.  I wasn't really sure if I should reply, because I know that there is a very low chance to change anyone's mind in these matters, especially now when it's so "currect" to hate Israel and say we are war criminals etc. But I read some of the posts here and I just feel like I have to be the one saying something for my country and trying to show you the other side.

So first, I will say this: I'm not here to make Israel look all pretty and clean. Yes, Palestinian civilians are being killed and I can give you my word (if it worth something for you) that not a single one of them was killed intentionally. Sometimes it looks like people on the street around the world like to think about us (Israeli soldiers, leaders etc) as animals - we are not animals, we are human just like you. Believe me, I don't like to see any 5 year old kid getting killed - it makes me feel sick and it should never happen. Let me give you a little info from the inside - we came across some house in Gaza, and when we got inside, we saw a family just sitting there. We asked them why they were there, in such a dangerous situation, and they told us that someone locked them inside saying he would kill them with his gun if they go outside. This someone is a Hamas soldier, knowing that this family could die in some Israeli attack. So why the hell will he make them stay inside? isn't he supposed to defend them? Nope. He knows that if they will die, at least this will make Israel look like shit in the media, creating more pressure from the outside world on Israel to get out of Gaza. Another thing about those Hamas "soldiers" - they fight us wearing jeans and T-shirts. There is no way to know if a person is a civilian or a Hamas soldier, until the second he brings out the gun and starts shooting at you. They don't do it because they don't have uniforms, they do it because they simply don't give a fuck about they people of Gaza - all they want is to destroy Israel, no matter the cost. And these stuff are just some of the shit we deal with over there.

About the justification of this whole thing, let me ask you a question: if your country was bombed with rockets for 7 years from a different country, would you want your country to do nothing about it? Imagine this: you walk in some street in your city on a beautiful day, you do your grocery shopping, whatever, and then out of the blue - A ROCKET FALLS right in front of you, killing you! Sound kind of ridiculous, right? We would you think that something like that will happen to you? Well, think about that: in Sderot, an Israeli city 15 KM from Gaza, a day without 3-4 rockets is a REALLY fucking weird day. So the people of Sderot and all of the cities in it's area should just live with that for... how long? another 7 years? will that make this military operation justified? Or maybe we should just wait until the rocket will fall on some group of children, killing them, and THEN we will have a good reason to try and stop it? A week ago, one rocket hit a school class in Be'er Sheva. The class was empty of children because Israel stopped all studying in the bombed ares. Why don't the Hamas do the same for the people he claims to defend? Why do I see a man walking down the street of Gaza with a baby in his arms and an AK47 on his back in the middle of a war? What the fuck?

I have a lot more to say but my time is short right now. Please, feel free to ask me questions (hit me with hard questions if you want) and I will try to get my hands on some computer here to answer them.

how do you justify this hypothetical example that might not have happened truth. do this for me.

And how do YOU justify that Truth.

Damn them lying jews.

It does not excuse the IDF but shit it proves that the Hamas are pretty horrible.
