Which is why I posed the earlier question about a lack of intervention from the leaders of the rest of the world. I'd almost argue that by doing nothing, they too are complicit in this genocide. And yes it is genocide because the killing is indiscriminate. Nick, this is crazy to be arguing about because I think there is more that unites us than divides us.But it is not genocide . It is, however, in my view, brutal oppression. See prior postings by others. What "we" did in Iraq involved some indiscriminate killings (more than some).Bloody Sunday involved indiscriminate killing on a small scale. Shooting down the plane in Ukraine was indiscriminate killing; it wasn't genocide. If we use terms like "genocide" or "holocaust" all the time, it devalues the words.

Not quite sure, the present bombing/incursion can be put down to gas reserves, but clearly the Israelis won't be indifferent to the existence of gas reserves, neither will various others, separate to the inhabitants of Gaza.The article says: "Israel has made successive discoveries in recent years - such as the Leviathan field estimated to hold 18 trillion cubic feet of natural gas - which could transform the country from energy importer into aspiring energy exporter with ambitions to supply Europe, Jordan and Egypt. The chief obstacle is that much of the 122 trillion cubic feet of gas and 1.6 billion barrels of oil in the Levant Basin Province lies in territorial waters where borders are hotly disputed between Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and Cyprus". Where there is gas, a lot of interested snouts will be sniffing about eager to get something out of the trough.

What are you talking about? Once again.

The settlers are in the west bank.....Not Gaza.

Hamas does not control the west bank.

What happens to the settlements will eventually be decided not by what is happening now.....It's a non issue in terms of this Israel-Hamas fight.

Your reading of the situation is far removed from what motivates the different mindsets of Hamas and Fatah.

If they were one people Israel would be bombing the west bank right now.

Has it not occurred to you that the Israeli powers that be might also be after Palestine's gas reserves...

I answered your statement defending Hamas's approach against Israel. Now you are expanding the discussion to what seems to be silly ideas for why Israel are in Gaza right now.

You really do believe any old crap don't you Nick.

So to do this basically Israel have to boot Hamas out of Gaza forceably. Otherwise they can't control the oil fields.

These claims aren't realistic for Israel.

If you are going to make claims such as these you really need to stand by them. Hence for this to happen Israel will stay in Gaza.

So I expect you're standing by this claim then Nick?

They are trying to use military force to get rid of a democratically elected Government. If they want rid of Hamas, surely it would make sense to keep some sort of infrastructure in place in order that new elections could take place in the near future!

Their manifesto is a document for continual war with ceasefires for tactical reasons. Gaza voted for this. I only have sympathy for those that didn't. No one.....let me repeat that, no one in the west or the middle east is going to get involved between Israel and Hamas. Edited by Stirlingsays (20 Jul 2014 11.46am) That's like saying the UK voted for Tony Blair so there should be no complaints about Iraq. Is it? Did Tony Blair have a manifesto stating continual war with a neighbour then? I must have missed that part. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.'

What infrastructure? I don't understand what that means. Do you stand by your claim?....you posted the links....That Israel intend to stay in Gaza so that they can control gas reserves and that's their motivation. As for a democratically elected government....Yeah, they won elections and then suspended them. Hamas haven't allowed elections and they won theirs in 2006.....Eight years with no democracy.
