Israel - Palestine Conflict Discussion Thread

[teo 609]

*2 empty schools

The bombed UN schools and hospitals had no any sign of rockets.

Over 80% dead are civilians and they did nothing wrong, they didn't kill themselves.

Ok, I'll give you that. Are you gonna say they're not storing weapons in private homes too? I said that I feel sorry for all the dead innocent people, but these two countries are at war and people die during war. In a perfect world there will be no wars and people won't be dying, but sadly we're far alway from this(if it ever happens tbh). I would love for you to respond to what I posted in your earlier thread - why aren't people making such a big deal about the half million dead people in the war in Iraq? I don't see anyone with a "#freeIraq" icons. And let's not talk only about wars - in the US only around 35000 people per year die in car crashes. Why aren't people protesting to ban motor vehicles? My point is this whole Israel vs. Palestine mess just goes to show how people just jumped on this media bandwagon and how easy we are to be manipulated. 

And btw it might be surprising for you, but I'm not on either side in this. I think the whole thing should end asap. I'm not pro-Israel or pro-Palestine, but it will take more than a few upsetting pictures to make me take a side.

Please remember that the comments in the OP are from a comedienne and not a studied person of the events in the Middle East.  Please don't hurt each other verbally because of what Joan Rivers said.  On a side note, Selena Gomez is not the issue here.

even in 2012 Madonna spoke about the conflict. she's such an understanding woman. it proves she really cares about it and not take the recent news to be ''relevant''.

 

 

an amazing and touching speech :

I just can't at all people that still have no idea about what is happening.

Americans media are like a brain washing machine and you should study history intead of watching TV.

"It's terrorism"

"There are casualties is war"

They are doing the same thing the nazi were doing to them. Israelians are just like Nazis. And this is going on since 1945.

You do sound Pro Israeli tho. And being at war and having the best modern day weapons, tanks, planes does not justify committing war crimes and getting away with it. Killing children on a beach in daylight. Other side has cheap rockets which barely do any damage. When they want to promote tourism and invite famous people to their country, they will tell you it's safe and best place in ME, but when they need to justify their actions, they'll tell you we live in constant fear of rockets, so what is the truth?

Most of the fans on this site are very young, so they didn't maybe even know much about Iraq war, and social media nowdays keeps us fast updated and goverment's propaganda does not have much strength anymore. And people have right to voice their opinion when other humans are being unjustly slaughtered.

Two countries? do you know that Israel and the USA don't even recognize Palestine as a country, and not so long ago, they voted AGAINST its admission in the Unesco, an institution that promotes education!! and they also stopped their funding! how glorious!

 

And about Iraq, there WAS a lot of protests about it, do you live on another planet? . And it's NOT a "bandwagon", this war has lasted like 60 years +, and Israel attacks Gaza like every 2-3 years.

this is so right

Pathetic is the one who calls this self-defence

nsfw

as Queen Joan said "Don't put your goddamn things in private homes!"

[HeavyPunkLover 2,120]

And americans deserve that all native from america start to get a huge amount of deadly weapon and go around screaming "THIS IS OUR LAND".

Ignorant. I have no other words to describe you. Call me when Israel will put Palestinians into gas chambers one after one and then burn their bodies.

Yeah right! tell that to the poor Palestinian boy who got burnt to death

Sad excuse for human being...

Give evidence right now that all the murdered children slept on the mattresses under which rockets were hiding. Because that's what it means! You can't! You can only repeat what your evil media tells you. Like a parrot.

And the lack of empathy is disgusting.

Hamas is committing a double war-crime by intentionally targeting civilians and fighting from civilian areas. You seem to be fine with it.  :roll:

 

Israel is indeed safe and the best place in the ME. Southern Israeli citizens are indeed living in a constant fear of rockets. Anything else?

Ignorant me? I work for a humanitarian association and for the UNHCR.

YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE. And YES. They are doing the same. You just don't have a clue

And it's not because you are from Israeli that you have to be with your government. Your army is killing tousand of people and MILLIONS ARE ALLREADY DEPORTED SINCE YOU STARTED SENDING THEM IN REFUGEE CAMPS. SOUNDS FAMILIAR??

[Dolev 867]

oh so now a one crazy individual who did something on himself equals a whole army doing the same?   let's not act like your friend is using "individual" excuse everytime a terror attack is happening against Israel.
