There is no excuse for a terrorist group firing thousands and thousands of missiles at Israeli towns and cities in 2014 and the hideous barrage accompaning the slaughter of Jews today.

Have fun trying to blame this all on Netanyahu. It's Hamas...and since 2007 in Gaza it has always been Hamas.


Hamas arranged this battlefield ands the Israelis are fighting on it. The secret here for you wonderful people is that Hamas rejoices in the piles of corpses they have generated. Each photo you see is a 'martyr for Allah'. It is proof of their 'cause'. (While they hide in tunnels with food ammunition and hostages)

...and I know you eagerly support the fight against fascism, Jewish control, and NATO aggression in Putin's attempt to re-unify the Slavic peoples back into Russia, protected from Western Hegemony.

(Same reasoning as the above posts...are you blind?)

[SteveG]

and while you are at it please explain who is firing in the 'intense fighting' that has been taking place in both southern and northern Gaza. Is it women and children armed with anti-tank missiles, AK-47s lethal explosive devices, booby traps and ambushes and hiding in a huge network of tunnels while holding hostages? Yet you seem to think so...that the IDF is not fighting anyone.

Islamic terrorist group carries out their deeply held beliefs to murder all Jews and destroy the state of Israel....which has been in their charter of basic goals since 1989.

and yet you condemn an entire nation because of one boneheaded mistake during an intense war. Good thinking there, augie.

He did not condemn the entire nation.

The IDF is supposed to protect aid workers. Aid agencies say the Israeli military has been attacking them for months.

“This pattern of attacks is either intentional or indicative of reckless incompetence,” top Doctors Without Borders official Christopher Lockyear said.

Friendly fire

”… an attack by belligerent or neutral forces on friendly troops while attempting to attack enemy/hostile targets. Examples include misidentifying the target as hostile, cross-fire while engaging an enemy, long range ranging errors or inaccuracy.”


Collateral damage

”… any incidental and undesired death, injury or other damage inflicted, especially on civilians, as the result of an activity. Originally coined to describe military operations…”

How about collateral reputation damage.
When IDF makes mistake after mistake, it can spill over and people blame the entire country.
