The reason for the ground incursion is that you can't stop the Palestinian rockets nor destroy the tunnels safely from the skies. It requires a ground operation. If I lived in Israel, I would support the ground operation. If I were in charge in the U.S., I would approve of sending Israel all the weapons it needs to get this done.
Speaking of the tunnels: the Palestinians receive billions of dollars in aid from the U.S. and from other nations, and they spend it on terror tunnels?
Billions ?
When did the U.S send money to Hamas ?
And where did the money that the U.S sent to Abbas in West Bank go ? Anything improved there ?
All this time they could have been improving peoples lives and they've been digging tunnels?They must really not care about their own people. If they're going to dig, how about digging a massive underground shelter rather than tunnels that cross the border to Israel?
Where can you build shelters for 2 million person in Gaza ? Gaza strip is small and desert ground, you can't build shelters in a desert unless you have resources and space like Saudi Arabia.
The Palestinians rarely get cement, and some food, Haven't you heard about
Gaza blockade ?
The Israelis build shelters for their people and, in conjunction with air raid sirens, they work. Israel warns the Palestinians when they're going to bomb. Wouldn't it be nice if the PLs could enter a shelter, rather than just Hamas combatants running into their tunnels?
Again, Where can Palestinians in Gaza run to? Where can they dig and build shelters ?
Why does israel bomb houses ? Warn palestinians "we are going to bomb your house" is it not a crime to bomb people houses that they spent their entire lives to build them?
Can i get answers please ?
Yes, there is a lot of blood on youtube, and in reputable news sources. There is no shortage of photos and videos.
I just read an article called, "In Gaza, 11 members of a Palestinian family are killed in a single strike". (Link below). Buried in the text is this:
I think the headline should have read, "
Yet Another Palestinian Family Ignores Israeli Warnings and Stays Home"
In Gaza, 11 members of a Palestinian family are killed in a single strike - The Washington Post
The Israeli aircraft is bombing Houses, Streets, Beaches, Hospitals, Schools, Mosques, Unrwa shelters, Unrwa school, UN buildings, Gaza borders and Gaza center. Where would people run to ?
It's easy to look at the blood, rubble and tears and to jump the conclusion who the bad guys are here. It takes an extra step to think about the causes behind all this and sadly, too much of the world can't be bothered to take this extra step.
The cause behind all this is the creation of israel, the israeli arrogance, israel has broke all International treaties, It's above the law and no one can say No to israel, The U.S unlimited support and Vito, etc etc.
alecgraham, You claimed to be non-religious person but all your posts say the opposite, i did not see you blame israel at all, all you do is giving reasons to justify israel's wars and crimes, You adopt the israeli government thoughts and decitions, i did not get a rational answer yet, i'm very disapointed to read the same speech that the israeli governers/generals say over and over.
i can't continue discussing this, i'm leaving it to others to judge what they see.
Cheers
