Uhhh. So the Israeli army decided to cease fire for three hours every other day to allow gaza to regain supplies and receive medical attention. I thought this was a war? How are you going to let your opponent regain more rockets and weapons when you can just continue slamming them into submission so that it would be finished sooner.. The world has just been progressively getting stOOpider and SToopIder to the point were we don't even fight right... Maybe its just the way I see it, but if someone has any other opinion about why they would do this, please, let me know. You can read the article here. ______________________________ What if Paul Revere was like the boy who cried wolf....? Originally posted by Hazmal What does he say when people ask what he did?

My opinion on why? Well the world is kinda paralized nowadays, that makes most of its population to pay atention to wars that take place hundreds of kilometers away from their homes. Since Israel started the attack a couple of days ago the whole world has been calling them nazis, homicides, genocides, etc. So I guess Israel is trying to show that "they are the good guys". I guess in 3 hours they will continue killing "terrorist". There has been a lot of "media coverage" in this war. A lot of journalists want to enter Gaza and they still cant, and there are many pacefull organizations that are trying to stop israel from destroying Gaza. As far as I understand Gaza could not have survived this long without the help of this humanitarian agencies so I guess these people are not willing to give up on Gaza yet. As an interesting note, there was a protest against this war in front of the Israeli embassy this morning, here in argentina.
I can't think of other excuse, the truth is I thought Israel was going to raze gaza once and for all, with a full attack. But maybe Israel is not so capable of finishing this war as we think. When the attack started Hamas said something arround the lines of "the israeli will only find death in gaza". Today i red another article saying that Iran had 70.000 volunteers who wanted to fight against Israel. Maybe Israel could not achieve the objectives they expected when they started their attack so now they are regruping and re-thinking their course of action. |

Its been like this for 50 years. A ceasefire now will only mean this type of violence will continue in the future in this region either started by Palestine or Isreal. Its like India and Pakistan. Its starting to sound more like the gentlemen wars of the medieval period where the only people who die are the conscripts. |

Israel is just leveling the playing field. I mean the two are equal to each other in fighting strength right? One side need more missiles? Oh Israel just stops for a few days to let them get some so the fighting can continue. Sounds like both sides want this to go on forever. "Don't sweat it -- it's not real life.

Let's not all get too bleeding heart over Hamas. Hamas is not exactly playing the game for the benefit of the Palestinian people in the Gaza strip either, they are playing the game for their own power. If their objective was to defend and improve the situation of the people in the Gaza strip they would have thought through the Israeli response to continuing rocket attacks, and not taken that route. The elicited Israeli response resulted in exactly what Hamas desired to achieve, Israeli attacks in concentrated civilian areas. The people in the Gaza strip are the pawns in this game of power between Hamas and Israel. By Hamas taking the action they did, and continuing this action, they are perfectly willing to consider collateral civilian casualties as politically acceptable. Personally, I think the people of the Gaza strip need to wake up and decide they need someone that is looking after their interests, and is not interested in playing power politics with Israel. Otherwise all the future holds is more of the same as now. |

Israel would have gladly gone nazi/genocide a long time ago if it weren't for the media. That is no stretch by the way. Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. |

Well, we all know that the people of Earth will never come together, unless there is an alien attack, and we so happen to join hands and fight those bastards. Other than that, if we did come together for scientific research we would have explored the heaves and back and this world would not be as destroyed as it is today. Ever see that movie 'The Invasion'? with Nicole Kidman (shes so hot) if an alien parasite came and controlled all of our minds, that would be the only world peace. Then again, we'd have to have no emotions. ______________________________ What if Paul Revere was like the boy who cried wolf....?

People "coming together" is a bad thing as often as it is a good thing -- at least as far as Liberty is concerned. |

Originally posted by Vendayn This is similiar to my thoughts. Palestinians are not smarter, or stupider, than any other humans just because they are Palestinian. There is no reason that Palestinian scientists, researchers, doctors, and engineers cannot work for multi national global corprations anywhere in the world, to include Israel, as part of the high tech information age global economy. There is no reason that the Gaza strip cannot sustain high rise buildings that reach up to the stars, just like Manhatten. There is no reason that the shoreline of the Gaza strip cannot be beaches, resort hotels, and casinos for European tourists. There is no reason a World Trade Center cannot exist on the Gaza strip. Things do not have to be as they are. All it takes is some dewey eyed dopes that see a future which is different than rocket attacks into Israel. People that can sell that dream to Arab investment bankers, and to international monetary funds around the world. People who are willing to build that dream, rather than one of warfare, suicide bombers, poverty, and despair. Hamas has to go, but it has to go at the hands of the Palestinian people. They need new leadership, leaders that are not afraid to take them out of the feudal agrarian lifestyle they now live, and into the high tech information age global economy. They need bold leaders of vision that will reach forward for the stars, rather than reach back for the arid land that is now Israel.

Very true! Still, it's not the media that will cut their ball off if they do. The media is just the messenger. Only a fool would think you could wipe out a culture and take all there land, and still be allowed to stay on land that you where given in the first place. If it would solve the problem I would be all for it. Hamas is a bunch of losers and the Israel's aren't, but taking peoples land and then killing them only leads to more problems for everyone. Whatever the reason. It Just the Isreal's bad luck that they don't live in the wild west and the Arabs aren't Indians. The ne'r do wells can ramble on all they want. This is about old fashion ecomomic expansion, and your off your rocker if you think anyone really wants to go back to the way things were. |

Well, they do leave some important pieces of information out most of the time. Our government (well, mine, usa) controls the media. FCC runs everything that is broadcasted throughout America, which apparently when you watch the news, there is no "good' news. All you'll ever see is something bad happening, or some useless information like a thug being gunned down in brooklyn (which happens almost all the time). The media rarely talks about scientific breakthroughs, unless its something controversal, like stem-cells. I look to the science channels on my listings to see whats going on in the important world. In a sence the media is just like the President of the United States, just a figure head to break some information to the public. edit Sweet I posted this message at 1:11:11PM US eastern time. ______________________________ What if Paul Revere was like the boy who cried wolf....?

Is this a joke or your belief? If the latter you are calling for a genocide, there is about 1,5 million people living in Gaza, a very small area for that amount of people. Well the IDF is shooting at everything that moves, even an UN aid convoy. And you compare the Palestinians with the Nazis. Do you wan't to feel my outside on your inside? I doubt it, so shhh and let me do what I please.

I totally agree with outfctrl What is this with the Nazi's. Stop it, stop compairing anyone to the nazi's unless they are just taking a religious group and executing them in ditches, burning them in ovens, and gasing them. Just stop with the nazi's, no one is acting like the nazis or trying genocide. Untill 3+million are executed with no reason then you can start to compair. I'm done, I'm never talking about this situation again.. I dont live in gaza / israel / egypt or any of thsoe areas so i dont even care.. Do you. ______________________________ What if Paul Revere was like the boy who cried wolf....? Originally posted by Hazmal What does he say when people ask what he did?
