Israelis Wipe out Entire Gaza Neighborhood

[Anonymous]

Thanks for posting the video clip Jeff. It has to be seen to be believed.

I posted this assessment by Avi Shlaim, professor emeritus of international relations at St. Antony's College, Oxford University, and author of Israel and Palestine: Reappraisals, Revisions, Refutations in another thread but it bears repeating:

"The occupation, the relentless expansion of illegal settlements, the construction of the monstrous "security barrier" on the West Bank, the demolition of Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem, the flagrant violations of international law, the systematic abuse of Palestinian human rights and the rampant racism – all are slowly but surely turning Israel into an international pariah. No sane Israeli relishes the prospect of living in a pariah state that maintains an apartheid regime. But few Israelis are ready for a truly honest historical reckoning with the people they have wronged and oppressed and whose land they continue to colonise. To blame the victims for their own misfortunes, as the people in power habitually do, is both disingenuous and despicable. This is no way for any nation to behave, especially one with such an acute historical memory of the bitter taste of victimhood."

As for myself - BDS - Boycott, Divest and Sanction. I won't be buying Israeli goods or goods from US companies with strong ties to Israel. A quick Google search which products to avoid.

Good point. Maybe someone can post Israeli products to boycott.

True that.

This is ridiculous, does not belong in this thread, and discredits you and anyone willing to associate with you. If you insist on posting this sort of crap, do it in your own thread. Please don't associate it with the very real tragedy taking place in Gaza.

Is this the neighborhood? Was it already bombed?

"They will bomb the Zeitun area and the people are already fleeing. The problem is that the priest Fr George and the three nuns of Mother Teresa have 29 handicapped children and nine old ladies who can't move."

The video shows the destruction of Beit Hanoun. Israel wants to expand its buffer zone within Gaza. I think they will destroy everything within the new zone. The new zone will take a huge amount Gaza's land, reducing Gaza by 40 percent. Gaza is already one of the world's most densely populated places on Earth.

That neighborhood should serve as a the template for every neighborhood in Gaza. Lay down your arm or watch a neighborhood be destroyed every hour. Fight on, IDF, until every Hamas rat is killed. The Gazans elected Hamas, so this is what they get.

Arn't these people being used as human shields? If you set up camp in Gaza, your a puppet for Hamas. So Israel should run with their tales between their legs? What about the 3 boys that were killed?

As Mel Brooks said, "It's good to be the king". They can complain all they want.

You are the moderator of a "Mommy Wars" website. Calm down.
