Sorry for your emotional distress but it's not about me (hilited) or my perceptions.
When all you offer is your personal opinion and rhetoric then it's ONLY about you. You rarely ever offer anything other than empty bigoted rhetoric. You may try to present it as factual, but of course it's not.
Threatening entire populations with bombing while ordering them to evacuate (where to, exactly?) or die evokes terror in the target population.
They don't threaten them. They warn them about the targets in the nearby area. But funny how you seem to show no objection to Hamas intentionally storing those weapons in populated areas with the intent of getting people killed. It's warning people so they don't get hurt that bothers you, not tactics that kill people. Well, unless they're Jewish.
A remnant of human empathy is all one would need to understand this.
The only one here without empathy is you. One need only common sense and a willing ness to look at facts to understand the situation. It might also require listening as well.
The decision to use violence for aggressive political ends in the first place, thus guaranteeing that civilians will die, is where one should look when interested in labeling behavior evil. War is evil.
We all agree on this. That's why we and Israel have a problem with Hamas tactics. The difference between you and everyone else here is that you have double standards. You have no complaints against Hamas using human shields and killing their own people while launching attacks on innocent civilians. But you most certainly have a problem with those who try to minimize those attacks while at the same time doing everything humanly possibly to minimize deaths.
A rather bizarre and childlike distortion of history and responsibility. How long do you think Hamas has had any control over where Palestinians are allowed to live?
It's call reality. You have no knowledge of history what so ever. And your question is irrelevant. It just shows us how warped your senses on the issue are. Hamas officially started around 1988. That's when they drew up their charter stating their goal which was literally to kill all of the Jews. But you raise no issue with them.
You still haven't explained why you chose you emphatically talk about Jews when I was talking about Israel. Nothing you have said changes my impression that it was a crude, random, unjustified attempt to play the antisemitism card.
Because unlike you, I am not trying to mislead people by trying to choose certain terms over others. We both know this is about Jews and Muslims, not Israelis. We have a government who's charter calls for the death of all Jews. They have children's TV shows which don't call for the death of Israeli's, they call for the death of Jews. We don't try to hide anti-semitism by pretending this is about Israel and nothing more. If Israel wasn't a Jewish country, we wouldn't be sitting here talking about it.
And no one here expects you to change your mind. The reason we respond to you is for all the rational readers out there who may not be aware of these issues. The people out there who may have been mislead by people such as yourself who repeat these absurd lies and rhetoric and not realize it's completely untrue.
Ha ha! That's a ludicrous claim but if you can believe that forcing people to evacuate their homes under threat of death won't terrify them, I guess you could believe any old self-serving rubbish !
They aren't forced. In fact most intentionally stay to die as martyrs. Some are forced to stay by Hamas while the militants who launch the rockets hide in shelters leaving the civilians to die.
We can believe it because it's the only reasonable response. If someone is attacking you you protect yourself. If that person attacking you is using human shields, you try to warn those shields so they have a chance to not be the victim of Hamas's human shield tactic.
Ironically your desire is that the Jews just sit there and allow themselves to be killed by Hamas. Let's not pretend you have any concern for the lives of people. Your desire is simply that only the Jews are killed. You said no issue with the missiles being fired on the Jews, only that they strike back at the attackers.
To paraphrase a common political truism: -"It's the occupation, stupid."
There is no occupation. There is a land dispute. And certainly not one over Gaza. This is the most common lie that I have seen repeated by people such as yourself. You think one group has more right to the land than the other.
Below is my response to an attempt by another poster to impose a pretend "hypothesis" on me:
I don't care enough about people like you to read your other threads. Deleting...
Quoting someone's opinion is not useful. This is about policy. Would you like me to list some quotes from Palestinians about Jews? Who do you think will be able to come up with more quotes? No contest. The quotes along from Hamas run children's TV shows would amaze you.
But then you judge an entire group of people by the opinion of a single one. But at the same time while another group writes into their government charter a priority goal of exterminating another group of people, you have no problem.
Please stop kidding us that you have any empathy or any concern for other people's lives. You simply use the deaths of civilians for your own personal gain. You should be ashamed.
Also, for anyone who might try to point out that the Hamas Charter has been changed, when the current leader of Hamas was asked in 2009 if there was any plan to remove the parts about killing Jews, he said 'not a chance'.
