Israel invades Gaza

LOL Israel just bombed a UN School rofl, killed like 14 kids lmao Israel isn't solely to blame kekekekekekeke.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Israel is not at fault, Hamas is not at fault

perhaps the answer lies somewhere in the middle?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It wouldn't be out of the question if Jewish settlers were stopped from encroaching on Palestinian land and the Israelis themselves stopped electing hard right fascists like the Likkud.

Mohammed the not-gay gays don't exist in our country roomate returns to find Raheem sitting alone on the couch.

"Where is Assan?" -Mohammed says this, sounding very gay

"He fled the apartment."

"Oh Raheem." *laughtrack* *end scene*

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Alcohol use is also a sin in Islam, so it's not like the Palestinians are just going to abuse themselves into complacency.

Wear my heart on my sleeve.

Israel could violate Gaza's economic exploitation zone and nobody would care. I'm not even sure if the PLA is entitled to those kind of rights.

Israel invaded Gaza to time the post-Christmas news cycle and Bush leaving office. As much as Obama is probably going to support Israel as much as every other president he's still a wild card so Israel is doing their best to damage Hamas to the point where it'll take them years to recover.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Israel is hurting HAMAS. A HAMAS higher up can't take a shit without Mossad knowing about it. Problem is for every HAMAS they kill you're also counting about 4 kids 8 women and 3 men. vv

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hmm, I wonder how Israel can defend itself from a movement born from opposition to apartheid?

hmmmmmmmmmmm

hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhmmmmmm

People talk about HAMAS "hiding in civilian centers" like they should stand out in the middle of a field and wait for Israeli F-16s to line up the laser designators. These are weekend warriors to begin with so they're already embedded in the civilian population as they're, durp durr, civilians. Cry and moan and gnash your teeth about how HAMAS uses human shield tactics all you want but this is how asymmetric wars are fought, it's just that in this particular instance the IDF doesn't give a shit about human shields.

The "best" route for Israel has already been chosen, since Israeli policy makers have committed themselves to crippling HAMAS and ensuring their defeat in the Palestinian civil war. If Israel was looking for a long term solution to sectarian violence meted out by unguided rockets that kill a handfull of people a year their best course would have been to do nothing.

Hamas isn't a Gaza separatist movement, numbnuts.

But then I'm debating political nuance with a dbzatar.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Look, geopolitical realities are no excuse when you're living next to terrorists. Maybe if you don't want to get bombed by the IDF you should leave Gaza.

You said Israel withdrew from Gaza and ended their settlement program, as if that was supposed to make Hamas go "gee thanks guys" and just completely ignore everything that's been going on in the West Bank.

Not like Israel has left Gaza alone, mind. There's still the economic strangulation and fun stuff like low-flying Israeli jets creating sonic booms that cause health problems like damaging children's ears.

Well, if staying in a target-zone is your preference, that’s fine. It wouldn’t be mine.

Yeah, they should have just put that children's hospital on wheels and rolled it into Egypt. Or hey maybe the aid workers should leave as well since clearly marked vehicles and UN schools are also military targets.

FELIPE NO

The only democratic nation in a region filled with Moon God worshiping mud bloods displays its superior culture by banning arab parties.

Israel bans Arab parties from coming election - World AP - MiamiHerald.com
JERUSALEM -- Israel on Monday banned Arab political parties from running in next month's parliamentary elections, drawing accusations of racism by an Arab lawmaker who said he would challenge the decision in the country's Supreme Court.

The ruling by parliament's Central Election Committee reflected the heightened tensions between Israel's Jewish majority and Arab minority caused by Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip. Arabs have held a series of demonstrations against the offensive.

Parliament spokesman Giora Pordes said the election committee voted overwhelmingly in favor of the motion, accusing the country's Arab parties of incitement, supporting terrorist groups and refusing to recognize Israel's right to exist. Arab lawmakers have traveled to some of Israel's staunchest enemies, including Lebanon and Syria.

The 37-member committee is composed of representatives from Israel's major political parties. The measure was proposed by two ultranationalist parties but received widespread support.

The decision does not affect Arab lawmakers in predominantly Jewish parties or the country's communist party, which has a mixed list of Arab and Jewish candidates. Roughly one-fifth of Israel's 7 million citizens are Arabs. Israeli Arabs enjoy full citizenship rights, but have suffered from discrimination and poverty for decades.

Arab lawmakers Ahmed Tibi and Jamal Zahalka, political rivals who head the two Arab blocs in parliament, joined together in condemning Monday's decision.

"It was a political trial led by a group of Fascists and racists who are willing to see the Knesset without Arabs and want to see the country without Arabs," said Tibi.

Together, the Arab lists hold seven of the 120 seats in the Knesset, or parliament.

Tibi said he would appeal to the high court, while Zahalka said his party was still deciding how to proceed.

Pordes, the parliament spokesman, said the last party to be banned was the late Rabbi Meir Kahane's Kach Party, a list from the 1980s that advocated the expulsion of Arabs from Israel.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The US embargo on Cuba is the most pointless gesture of US foreign policy on the books, and outlasted its relevancy when Soviet missiles left the island. Of course you'd equivocate one of our dumbest policies with Israeli apartheid.

Saying that Israel has made gestures towards peace is also a fucking laugh and a half. Israel violates its peace accords regularly and Jewish settlements still continue to grow while Palestinians are forced into smaller and smaller ghettoes. Palestinians have no political route to peace since the PLO sold out to European corporate interests, and now Arab Israelis can't even affect Israeli policy because their political parties are banned.

You can't just leave Gaza, they call it a ghetto because people can't escape. I'd like to hear your suggestions about where exactly the Palestinians in Gaza CAN go that's safe keeping in mind the IDF already bombed a clearly marked UN SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN.
