Discussion: Israel Hits 30 Gaza Homes, Kills Senior Militant

Discussion for article #225538

I highly recommend Informed Comment for its wide coverage of this conflict.

The US will never clamp down on Israel. To the US, Israel is like a ā€œmini meā€. We have killed so damn many innocent women and children with our drone strikes I can see why many Muslims hate the US. Our support of Israelā€™s slaughter of innocents is like throwing gasoline on the flames of hate.

If you havenā€™t heard Jeremy Scahillā€™s interview with Huffpost Live on the mediaā€™s failure of accurate coverage on this latest flare up between Israel and Hamas, itā€™s well worth the time to listen. Even Mediaite linked to it:

After listening to his interview, I requested his book " Dirty Wars" and also the documentary he made by the same name from the library. Iā€™ve never heard of him before, but I liked what he said. No one else says those things he says on TV. Even Colbert joked his interview with him might be the last chance to see him alive.

Israel should bore a hole from the Mediterranean into a tunnel chain and just flood the fuckers out

Since Israel doesnā€™t give a shit about killing civvies, why donā€™t they just carpet-bomb the whole Strip with napalm?

I mean, itā€™s just ā€˜untermenschā€™ palestinian lives, right? I donā€™t think they even have souls

Israeli actions resulting in massive civilian deaths look increasingly inhuman. Israeli justifications involving Hamas rockets, against which Israelis are well protected, grow increasingly unbelievable.

Charges of war crimes by Israel grow more credible by the hour.

Would it be OK for someone else to do that to Israel?

Israel doesnā€™t have secret tunnels built using supplies that should have gone to building infrastructure to sneak attack Gaza from, so, there would be no need or ability to flood Israel.

Tell that to the children and families of the dead Gazans.

I would venture to say they could stop hamas from launching attacks to prevent their street from getting targeted. Either let them shoot it off or face one coming back at you. Itā€™s the choice they make every time a rocket is lobbed at Israel.
