Medics: Israel strike kills 11 civilians in Gaza
War is a dirty business.
Israel is attacked, Israelis are killed and wounded, Israel strikes back at those that attacked them; the Palestinians, but the news media plays very hard on the story of *civilians* being killed in Gaza, Palestinian civilians.
The story from AP further points out “The bloodshed is likely to raise international pressure for a cease-fire.” Of course there will be pressure placed on Israel to cease the retaliation they are currently engaged in. Israel will be subjected to massive amounts of condemnation from the Muslim world and by any and all anti-Israel groups.
What *the world* and the media fail to mention is the FACT that Israel wasn’t engaged in any acts of hostility against the people in Gaza until Israel was subjected to many rocket attacks, launched FROM Gaza.
What is Hamas and the Muslim world thinking?
Do they believe that Israel will just sit back and suffer quietly as they die when Israel is hit with rocket attacks?
It always amazes me when these things happen, when Israel is attacked and launches a retaliatory strike how suddenly the Muslims, Hamas, Palestinians, whatever the groups may be, suddenly feigns innocence and plays the victim as they cry about the collateral damage that occurs when Israeli fighter jets join the fray.
This entire matter could be settled quite easily, leave the Israelis alone, don’t attack them, don’t launch rockets at Israel, don’t send homicide bombers into Israel, adopt a *live and let live* degree of tolerance and Israel will leave YOU alone.
Otherwise, take a look at the first line of my commentary and take that line to heart; war is a dirty business.
If you don’t want war, don’t start war.
The Muslim/Islamic world won’t understand that line, WAR is what they do, they call it jihad, they claim it’s a religious thing but then they cry to the world when they get sent to Allah.
War is a dirty business.
The media is reporting 11 civilians killed? In actuality, it was 11 potential terrorists that were killed.
Exactly…
Stole the words out of my hands BobF.
There is an eerie similarity of technique between Hamas and the Democrats in how they each blame the other side for the chaos they themselves cause.
There is no such idea as proportionality in war. It is a idea the Arabs and their allies can hit Israel over the head with.
During World War 2 the United States bombed the Japanese relentlessly. In one raid over Tokyo alone almost 1 million Japanese died.
During the same time the Japanese send High Altitude Fire Balloons over the Pacific to the United States.
While not very effective they did kill 6 people. Where was the proportionality in that?
We in Israel appreciate your words of encouragement. As an american and now an Israeli, all I can say is that I wish more people got “it”.
Israel has been getting slammed with rockets for years and the world has been silent. Why isn’t anyone asking where all of the rockets have come from? Why is Israel still providing electricity and water to Gaza?
Can you imaging Texas getting hit by a rocket from Mexico?
I guess all the Israelis killed by rocket fire, suicide bombers, etc over the years have been “non-civilians?” Oh, that’s right, they’re “dogs” according the the people of the “pedophile, goat-raping, prophet followers of the religion of peace…” NOW, I get it!
There will be no good end to this now that Obama destabilized the region successfully. The ottoman empire shall return. Our appeaser has moved on to Asia.
Until the muslim world shitcans the Koran, the only good muslim is a dead one. That includes men, women and children as they are all indoctrinated with the crap from that book. If the ragheads want their families to live; stop the aggression towards the rest of civilization.
War is SUPPOSED TO be ugly. Otherwise, humans would be in a perpetual state of war because war wouldn’t hurt badly enough.
If my next-door neighbor were lobbing grenades at my house, would I just sit there and take it? HELL, NO!
