[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Both sides think they are right. The question could be debated for centuries and not settled. But, ask yourself, "who is doing the killing?"

Then, ask yourself how to justify the killing of over 1,000 people, most of whom are civilians. You will hear a lot about who is to blame, but who is doing the killing?

It is not Hamas' fault that Iron Dome shoots down missiles. If it wasn't for Israel investing in that system, [b]the killing would probably be equal[/b].[/quote]

Do you really believe that? The Israelis say that Iron Dome is 90% effective (I believe this to be a gross exaggeration). That means that 10 percent of the rockets are getting through. So, the number of Israelis killed should be 10% of the number of Palestinians killed. Yet, the number is .03%. There is no justification for the killing that the Israelis are doing.

That's 4% (40/1000) actually, and if Iron Dome focuses on populated areas, which it probably would to reduce killing, the proportions make sense. Also, the Israelis are trying to strike militants. Gaza is a small place, however, and missiles are frequently placed in populated areas by Hamas, so it's unavoidable, although tragic. Israel, however, tries to reduce the death toll (by [b]giving warnings[/b], for example). Israel only wants terrorists to stop attacking it, and Israel is reacting in the same way that the US would probably react if placed in the same situation.[/quote]
Stop with the bullshit already, warnings give a 30-second to a minute notice of the bombing. I'd like to know how far you would run with your kids if woken up at night by a text message that says you have 30 seconds to get out.
