Israel's election: did anyone win? 8:22pm on 28 Feb 2009 225 jackturk:

Thanks for the link to that video. It shows quite graphically that Israel is a sham democracy run by what are little more than gangsters!!

''Its even worse than that. 4 of Israel's dead were killed by friendly fire. Its actually Hamas 9, Zionists 1304.''

I wonder if the four killed by friendly fire were mistaken for Gazan women or children?

Much as feel for the families of the dead Israeli soldiers, they were engaged in illegal activity under International Law in the types of munitions being used and their lack of 'care' for the civilian population and civilian infrastructure!! The Laws of armed Conflict places an obligation on every soldier to refuse illegal orders or to take part in illegal activity. They are personally responsible for their crimes!! As are Hamas rocketeers!!
The shooting of a child in the head is not soldiering...It's murder of the worst kind!!

''Its a little different to the Hamas statistics so eagerly lapped up by the usual suspects. Obviously the death of civilians, especially children, is tragic in any conflict, but we cannot debate the issue in any reasonable fashion if people simply echo Palestinian propaganda.''

I suggest that you check out the ICRC and UN websites for their views on the Gaza conflict. Neither of those bodies forms part of the Hamas propaganda machine. The UN in particular has been on the receiving end of Israeli munitions.
It doesn't take the brains of a rocket scientist to work out that if you use heavy weapons, phosphorous and Dime munitions and overwhelming aeriel bombardment against one of the most heavily populated areas on the planet the result will be huge civilian casualties.

for balance how about in excess of 1300 killed by the IDF as opposed to 13 israeli deaths.

How about Hamas small arms fire opposed to F16s, Merkava MBTs, M109s, M270s, Phosphorous shells, Dime munitions!!
The balance seems heavily waited in favour of israel to me!!

There is no evidence, other than the word of the IDF that hamas used human shields. For balance there is as much evidence that the IDF used coerced civilians as go betweens and house clearers!!

I am no apologist for Hamas. I deplore their use of rockets against Israeli civilians, but there was absolutely no justification for the totally disproportionate attack on the innocent civilians of Gaza. A 'police action' would have been appropriate and would have resulted in very little 'collateral' damage. I can only assume that the carnage that took place was planned at high level as a punishment!!

Open letter....

Thank you for that post Glyn. I think the vast majority of the posters on this blog fully endorse the points raised in your letter!!

Very convenient for Israel that all that evidence of the type of munitions it used on Gaza should mysteriously go missing!!

Of course Zionism should be classed as extreme, which I have never claimed otherwise, however, it is also clear that the extremism of Hamas is 100 times as bad.

The body count over recent years would indicate otherwise!!
Israel's election: did anyone win? 7:07pm on 18 Feb 2009 Something I have never had answered satisfactorily is ... Why are the members of Irgun and Lehi(Stern Gang) who used terrorist tactics so brutally against the British Army and Palestinians in their fight to establish their country, lauded as heroes and freedom fighters in Israel, when Hamas who have used similar methods are denigrated as Terrorist thugs in their struggle for a country of their own. If Irgun and Lehi are freedom fighters so are Hamas. Conversely if Hamas are terrorists so must Irgun and Lehi have been!! Can't have it both ways!!

I sincerely hope that by the time you've grown up and are old enough to vote you will have learnt that life is not all about playing with guns and 'blowing people away'!
Meanwhile leave this blog to adults, go back to your playstation and fantasise about nuking women and children@
Life is not a game, one day when you are old enough to have a wife and children of your own you may just understand this!!

I imagine, marcus or whatever our name is, from your warlike diatribe, that you have never served as a soldier! I don't include service with that band of armed brigands called the IDF as soldiering!!
It is typical of warmongering cowards to call for others to fight and die for the ideals that they are afraid to die for themselves!!
Judging by a great number of the posts on this blog the real losers of the Israeli election will be the world!!! It will be up to thye world community to pick up the pieces from the appalling mess Israel has made in its own backyard!
Israel, in the way it currently conducts itself, is not only a threat to Palestinians but is threatening the security of Jews throughout the world!!
