The Middle East Problem in 5 minutes by Dennis Prager

[shooter]

Pasture I may be wrong but it seems to me that most people would rather let someone else do their thinking for them. My family has owned a business for 45 yrs. Now this is just Shooter thinking out loud. I come in contact with a lot of people. I think that 80% of all people are just FUBARed. Of the remaining 20% fully half of them have serious issues. So only 10% of the people walking around are worth a shyt. Again that's just me thinking out loud. I run about 200 cars a month thru my shop. We are just a small shop. I literally know everyone in this area. Very few have the sense god gave a goose. I never cease to be amazed at the goofy shyt I see on a daily basis. If you have some common sense and the ability to think for yourself and don't depend on a computer for all your social interaction then you are a rarity. I still hunt , fish , ride my scooters and hand wash my truck , car , and bikes. Yeah I'm a dinosaur. About 200 people a month need my dumb ass.

The disproportionate numbers of casualties tells the story and no matter what the reasons keeping a whole populous prisoner and denying them basic rights is inhuman.

Uh...I believe that would be Hama's doing. Of course they (Palestiniens) did elect this know terrorist organization as their gov't. Who's sole purpose (it's in their charter) is the destruction of the jewish people. Hmmmmm.... Just lovely...

If you poke a bigger guy with a stick long enough he's gunna poke ya back. Simple as that.

Guess that's ok then to kill innocents

Apparently, it's totally OK for Hamas since that is their main objective. Let's not lose sight of who the real terrorists are here.

[SmallPasture]

Common sense tells me if you put rockets in and around schools/hospitals/mosques/hotels and then you launch from said places. Sure, some innocent is going be lost when the retaliation happens, but to blame it on the one responding to the rockets flying over their innocents is proof that the worlds Moral Compass is in need of calibration! Just saying....

oh and look what an Indian (not american) news crew captured from their hotel window just the other day in the Gaza Strip.

The problem with blanket statements are they are just that, one mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter

The people in the Gazza strip have no where to go they are blockaded

in the most recent fighting Israel suffered 60 casualties (mostly army) the Palestinians 2000 (mostly civilians) including a UN shelter

The video over simplifies the issues in this region. Glad there is a halt in the proceedings, hopefully they can find a long term solution.

What do you expect when the Palestinians and the U.N. allow,Hamas to store and fire their rockets from close to the shelters/schools/hospitals/mosques/etc......

The people in the Gazza strip have no where to go they are blockaded

True but by their own doing. As soon as Israel gave the Palestinians the Gazza strip in an effort for peace, Hamas was there shortly after digging tunnels and setting up rockets. They (Hamas) has turned the Gazza Strip into a DMZ, not Israel.

Glad there is a halt in the proceedings, hopefully they can find a long term solution.

Agreed and we can only hope!

Of course Hamas will do as they always do and re-fortify, re-arm right next to the shelters/schools/hospitals/hotels/mosques/etc.. I linked an article about Hamas having a Combat Manual.....which calls for the human shields. I'm not sure how one could call them "Freedom Fighters"
