Quote Palacetinian at 19 Aug 2014 8.41pm Don't exaggerate for dramatic effect. Hardly any rockets got through due to Iron Dome. The ones that did generally landed harmlessly no where near built up areas and those that did caused very little damage. I've seen bigger pot holes in New Addington than the damage some of the primitive Hamas rockets caused. How many people were actually killed by the fireworks masquerading as rockets that Hamas launches? Meanwhile Israel drops ten times more explosive than was dropped on Hiroshima on Gaza but that seems to be OK for you as it was aimed at Hamas! Oh.....So the intent to kill.....The intent to kill matters less if you aren't successful in killing people.....Oh I see....Yeah, great point that. Hamas were killing hundreds of Israelis in suicide attacks back before the wall was up.....Which you no doubt would prefer not to be there. Just because Hamas are rendered rather pathetic does not mean that their attacks aren't deserving of a strong response. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.

I've referred to arguably the most extreme part in a charter that's pretty extreme to Jews in other sections as well. It was you who put forward the crazy idea that Hamas were somewhat undecided about how they wanted to deal with the Jews. You are quite happy to assign motivations to Israel and not counter the posts on here that do that but when it comes to Hamas it's. 'Oh....Maybe they just don't mean it'.

It'll be your turn next to be accused of backing Hamas!

Cheap shot. Running short of vitriolic barbs to throw out?

So, do you agree with the Palestinian unilateral breaking of the truce?

The truce ended when negotiations did. Neither side gave way enough to satiate the other sides demands.

That's an article from 2012 about events between 2007 and 2010.

It has nothing to do with the current conflict.

It is the same bleedin' conflict! The Israeli blockade started the day the pulled out their forces from Gaza in 2006! Since then there have been three battles but the conflict is the same.

The title of the article starts with the words 'Israel used...' [note: 'used' in this context means past tense] and in the first paragraph references actions taken between 2007 and 2010.

You are making yourself look ridiculous.

However, the likes of you Matt and you Stirling have backed Israel to the hilt despite the fact that they are not defending themselves they are mass murdering hundreds of people.

The truce ended when negotiations did. Neither side gave way enough to satiate the other sides demands. I don't agree with Hamas firing rockets, apart from being as useful as passing in the wind, it only leads to reprisals However, that is their chief negotiation tool whilst Israel refuse sovreigncy and open borders. I also think that Hamaseseses refusal to stop firing rockets shows how desperate things had become for Palestinians in Gaza. Don't forget, Israel have a say in pretty everything or anybody crossing the border. I've read some say that Israel have been slowly starving Gaza by controlling the calorific intake. A bit disbelievable if you ask me, but probably has some truth in it. Here is one account; [Link] That's an article from 2012 about events between 2007 and 2010.

Since then there have been three battles but the conflict is the same. Nothing gets in and out of Gaza unless it has been sanctioned by the Israelis apart from the tunnels built by Hamas, and businessmen, to bring in much needed material and medication as well as the stuff that Hamas have used to make their weapons.
