Israel is flattening neighborhoods has bombed the power station, petrol facilities, hospitals, schools.
When will the West stop this land grab and genocide?

1. Won't happen
1. Too much guilt from the 1940's still lingering.
2. Too many "religious" people here think we must support Israel because Revelations tells them Jesus is from Israel and end times (or something like that, they aren't really sure).
3. Too much fear of AIPAC and other groups/supporters.

5. I think this is what they intend.
Razing Gaza allows them to come in and build from the ground while displacing the Palestinean survivors. I can honestly say that Israel has lost every last shred of respect I had remaining for them. This is the most reprehensible and immoral action we have seen in a while. It is right up there with some of the ugliest acts of genocide that have occurred in my lifetime, deserving of condemnation and sanctions by the world community.

10. This ^^^^^^^
It's been like that the whole time. They should have made a deal with the Palestinians in 1948. I've debated with some who said well they are Arabs and the surrounding countries should have taken them. It is like they really did expect to just take the land and have the people there just smile and say, "sure."

17. Hamas should stop shooting rockets at Israel. As Nancy Pelosi says; "Every rocket has a return address".

26. Israel should stop stealing land, and start giving it back. I don't actually care what Nancy Pelosi said. The rockets don't come simply because Palestinians are evil. They're in response to other evils. A cycle of traded evils, passed back and forth between the RWers in both populations. And bolstered by the people on both sides who place all of the blame on one side or the other. Until the groups in question accept that they're BOTH perpetuating the violence, it won't stop.

32. This so reminds me of what the US did to Native Americans in the 19th century. Steal their land and slaughter those that resist and their kith and kin.

34. Israel has completely destroyed 5,000 Gaza homes, damaged 26,000
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- The Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Tuesday that nearly 5,000 homes had been destroyed in Gaza as of late Monday, a number expected to rise amid renewed bombardment.
Ministry spokesman in Gaza Ashraf al-Qidra said that a total of 4,987 homes have been completely destroyed by Israeli shelling and airstrikes in the last 22 days.
26,270 homes, meanwhile, have been partially destroyed, of which 4,136 are no longer suitable for habitation.
The statements come after Israeli authorities gave evacuation orders to more than 400,000 residents of northern Gaza on Monday, including two major neighborhoods in Gaza City.
The United Nations said on Tuesday that 215,000 Gazans had fled their homes amid the bloodiest Israeli assault on the besieged coastal enclave since 2009.

38. True but they don't care and don't you dare forget to blame the civilians for being in the way

43. I can't even watch it anymore. What the Israeli government is doing IS genocide, yet the world watches and remains silent while the US continues to support them. I don't care who they perceive themselves to be according to religious doctrine, or what's happened to them historically - THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR PURPOSEFULLY KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE.

If Israel is committing genocide, then they really suck at it. Hasn't the population in Gaza grown exponentially since the 70s.
What is it the muzzies are good at, outside of blowing themselves up, killing each other, killing others, terrorism, and just being a pain in the ass?

Great question. What are they good at? In the past one hundred years have they had any good scientists or anything?
Not being sarcastic, I really don't know.
Even moreso - -100% of all electricity in Gaza is from Israel. Israel can (and IMHO should) shut of all power to Gaza and the other hamas territories.
I bet the muzzie population didn't even notice.
Bombing them back into the stone age would improve their standard of living.

The muzzies want to eliminate all the Jews, and won't stop until it happens.Our current Secretary of State got a purple heart from a pain in the ass.
The Jews just want to live in peace, but that won't happen until they eliminate all the muzzies.

Our current Secretary of State got a purple heartfrom aand is a worthless pain in the ass.
Yeah, but who cares? You're a lib. It's not like it's one of us saying what you're saying. When conservatives say things like you did it matters because our viewpoints carry weight. Yours don't.I'd like to ask the DUmbass how do you lose something that has never existed.
