During the Second Intifada (2000–2005) Haaretz reported that Palestinian militant gunmen used civilians and children as human shields by surrounding themselves with children while shooting at IDF forces.

You actually believe this crap?? I bet you believed it when they told us they defeated three sovereign nations in 6 days, too.
Anyway, Just ...[text shortened]... emember, Israel fired a mortar into a SHELTER, killing children. get woke, man. 301 children killed.

Well all the excerpts are from Wiki and the reporting is mostly from independent sources. It all points to the same mentality, summed up here:

.Shafiq Masalha, a clinical psychologist who teaches at Tel Aviv University, wrote in 2004 that 15 percent of Palestinian children dreamt of becoming suicide bombers. According to Eyad Sarraj, Palestinian psychiatrist and director of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program, a survey by his program found that 36 percent of Palestinians over 12 aspired to die "a martyr's death" fighting Israel.

Children are indoctrinated to hate Israel, to believe that to fight Israel will make them a martyr which leads to eternal life in heaven.

If you think they are all wrong and you are right then thats fine.

Yes. Are you referring to the 6 day war of 1967 ?

of course.

The UN formed a coalition of 20 UN nations to get Saddam out of Kuwait, and it took months to do it, not 6 days.

YOu want to believe that a nation of about 5 million people defeated 3 NATIONS in 6 days, I have some swamp land I want to sell you.

Very interesting. I learnt more about you in that one post than all your preceding ones. Thanks. I guess that concludes our discussion.

I know this to be true. But you of course, think it is a bad thing, and I don't.
Tell me, rajk, when the Germans occupied France, would you blame some kid for wanting to be a martyr as a French Resistance fighter??
The only difference I see is the Germans treated the French people much better.

I was really hoping you would learn more about Israel than me. Oh well.

After 70 years of doing the same thing, without success? Of course I would say that they are insane, because with each passing year their satiation becomes worse. Nobody on this planet has ever done that, so dont equate this situation with the French and Germans.

I learn from facts, supported by hard evidence. So far all I have is your opinion. All I learn therefore is that you have an opinion, and thats fine too.

Right, mostly because the Americans never went in to Palestine to drive the Israelis OUT like they did in Normandy.

That's why they are not the same. Another reason is, the Germans never pushed the French off their own land.

When the Israeli's last had a major attack into Gaza, they killed 301 children. At one point they shot
a mortar into a shelter killing children. All the while they kept up the rhetoric that the reason for the
high deaths to children was because the Palestinians use children as shields. THe f'n lying bastids.
Like they were really aiming a mortar at a "terroist" but the terrorist blocked it with a child. sickening and shameless.

Someone described Gaza as a fishbowl full of civilians, if you fire into it you will kill civilians.
The Israelis know that as does anyone who arms and supports them
They do have a right to defend themselves but when it’s this one sided it goes way beyond that.

Then someone needs to tell the fish in Gaza that. Its their responsibility to tell Hamas to GFO and stop firing rockets from their fishbowl.

Only an extraordinarily biased person would think an alleged attack that occurred more than 5 decades ago matches the violations of the Arab world. Arab countries give refuge to terrorists who bombed our Pentagon this century, who knocked down the World Trade Center this century, who shoot at our troops, who wish to destroy our way of life. If Arab countries were more open in prosecuting these militant groups the US would be more supportive of their concerns.

Alleged?
Israel admitted they did it.
