That's one of those obvious facts that turns out to be completely wrong. A bloodless victory is the aim of every properly trained and led military. The preservation of life is the reason for the existance of National Armed Forces. Edited by Red-Blue-Yellow (01 Aug 2014 12.55am) Man alive....I've read it all now. In all fairness to you both, how this works on the ground is that each military force has what are called 'Rules of Engagement'. Failure to follow those rules of engagement can mean a soldier can face charges (but not necessarily). In NI, for example, British soldiers would carry their Rules of Engagement booklet with them. It is only maybe three pages long. It states that civilians must be challenged first and also states what constitutes a risk to life that allows a soldier to use their weapon to defend themselves. There are Rules of Engagement for Afghanistan and Iraq, as far as I know.

There are definite, 'if it moves shoot' instructions on the front line.....But to be honest that's true for most front lines. It shouldn't be that way away from a battle situation. It isn't fair or accurate for some to mention words like genocide or to suggest that the IDF are looking to kill Palestinians wherever they find them. The IDF could easily kill thousands upon thousands of Palestinians in one day if they wished. It must be remembered that three quarters of Gazans are still living in their homes.

80% of Gazans are displaced refugees and their children from way back. They are most certainly not living in their homes. Are you getting paid via Tel Aviv for this? Some of the stuff you come out with. Edited by Kermit8 (01 Aug 2014 1.28pm)

Lucky them. They probably can't hear the assaults and mortar rounds and rockets. 80% of Gazans are displaced refugees and their children from way back. They are most certainly not living in their homes. Are you getting paid via Tel Aviv for this? Some of the stuff you come out with.
The population from that time would...at the very least be in their eighties who could claim ownership....In a Gaza population which is hugely populated by younger inhabitants. I can't imagine many people alive in Gaza today who hold deeds to those original properties. I say this to counter the silly emotionalism of your point with rationalism....I don't seek to deny the injustice of what happened in 47/48. Edited by Stirlingsays (01 Aug 2014 1.43pm)

'Only those alive in 1947/48 and their families are classed as refugees. 30,000 in the West Bank and Gaza.' UN disagrees. Their total is 2million - Children born in refugee camps/under occupation and grow up in those same camps and then have kids of their own are too refugees. Which classification is fairer do you think?

I don't claim to have the 'right' answer to it....I don't really know if there is one. To an extent whether someone has the 'right' of return depends upon the borders of a two state solution....Something along the 67 borders is possible. If it were my decision I would ensure compensation for those affected still alive from 47/48. I would allow the right of return in the west bank areas cleared of settlers......Though the longer this doesn't happen the harder this becomes. I can't imagine Israel giving over compensation that they would think would go into weapons to harm them in a future war......So whatever two state solution it would have to have a demilitarized element to it. The 'right of return' element is hugely difficult if we accept the right of Israel to exist. Edited by Stirlingsays (01 Aug 2014 2.07pm)

If the reports are true that Hamas.....using a tunnel....have captured an Israel solider then this will become a disaster upon a disaster. Hamas are ruining their own people. This action, if true, might oversee a huge expansion of this disastrous action. The last captured soldier took a thousand prisoners to release.....The IDF will just scoop up thousands to trade back.....Capturing a soldier is truly pointless. Hamas just don't care.
