Hamas wants to kill all Israelis. Is Israel being too compassionate in Gaza?

The United States and European Union classify Hamas as a terrorist group bent on destroying Israel. Hamas uses their control of Gaza as a base to launch attacks on neighboring Israel. With Hamas' rocket attacks hitting deeper into enemy territory, Israel has struck back hard with ground troops and air strikes.
Both sides have tried truces without success. Israel has previously shown reluctance in attacking Hamas, but their options are growing limited. Israel counterattacked to stop the rocket attacks from Hamas. Some nations and organizations have criticized Israel's attack, calling it "disproportionate" or an overreaction. Others simply expressed a desire to end the cycle of violence.

Epistemically Justified -- BN7 2009/01/07 07:01:49No, Israel is going way too far and much more than an eye for an eye.+32Israel's response to Hamas involves an egregious amount of civilian collateral -- given this, I'm very surprised with the tone of this question.






















Unfortunately, Neturei Karta groups (I know about them) present the other kind of enemies for Israel. It's very hard to believe in, but it's true. Ultra-orthodox Jews who are against Israel's existence. I can not find words to describe these idiotic people.
Hamas was the one who just recently has provoked Israel to start a war, The Israeli found quite a few bombs on Ashkelon and Ashdod's beaches, and thanks God the bombs were detonated.
Do you all guys deny it? I repeat: it's Hamas who provokes a war, and if Israel takes any military action he will be to blame. HOW FAIR IS THAT?
"A year ago today, tens of thousands demanded the release of Israel's youngest prisoners of conscience, the Shministim.
These 12th graders courageously chose prison time over serving in the occupying Israeli army".

Unrest after Israeli raid on Al-Aqsa

Israeli forces amass in East Jerusalem`s Old City [MaanImages]
Jerusalem – Ma'an – At least 30 Palestinians were injured and 20 arrested when clashes between Israeli forces and youth erupted anew in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem on Sunday, Palestinian and Israeli officials said.
In violence that followed a reported police raid on the sensitive Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Israeli forces fired stun grenades, tear-gas canisters and rubber-coated bullets at protesters. Palestinian youth hurled stones and set tires and piles of trash ablaze, according to Ma'an's correspondent, who was reporting from the scene.
Among the injured were five Palestinian journalists: Maysa Abu Ghazaleh, a reporter for Palestine News Network; Diala Jweihan, a reporter for Quds Net; Mahfuth Abu Turk, a photographer for Reuters; Ata Iweisat, a photojournalist; and Mahmoud Ilieyan, a photographer for the Al-Quds newspaper, a medic confirmed.
A second medic, Muhammad Al-Hawash of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, said a reporter for a London radio station had been struck in the face with a rock and was taken to hospital.
Maybe because the Imam peacefully called for law?

I'kremah Sabri, the Al-Aqsa Mosque's orator, on Saturday urged the international community to implement all UN resolutions were issued since 1948 concerning the Palestinian cause.
His statements came on the anniversary of the UN Charter's ratification, when the world reasserts its commitment to preserving peace, providing security and helping those in need.
"Security and peace cannot be achieved in the region so long as settlement, expulsions of Palestinians, and violations of their rights continues," Sabri said, noting that successive Israeli government had failed to fulfill previously signed agreements.
Divide and conquer. Typical Zionist strategy
Myth: Israel created Hamas
Fact: Israel had nothing to do with the creation of hamas. The organization grew out of the ideology and practice of the islamic fundamentalist muslim brotherhood movement that arose in egypt in the 1920's. Israel did not view hamas as a threat when it was first created. The israeli government did not create hamas, but saw it as a good tool in weakening the PLO. Israel did not do anything to hamas, attack nor help it. They just let it do whatever it wanted, which would have, and did, ultimately weaken the PLO.
To prove that Hamas never viewed israel as a friend, they passed out a primer on how members of hamas and the people of gaza should behave if confronted by the shin bet.
Who did help hamas? Jordan actively helped hamas. the muslim brotherhood actively helped hamas, and iran has been actively helping hamas. Israel never helped hamas, but merely turned a blind eye towards them in the early 80's. israel saw their threat and began pursuing them in 1988.
In no way whatsoever did israel create hamas.
Secondly, how did mossad create hamas? do you have any evidence? or are you just throwing around dangerous statements?
and once again, in Islam taqiyya literally means DECEPTION
and it is supposed to be practiced by all muslims
why dont u respond to the Islamic deception of Taqiyya? because it not only disproves ur point but makes u look like a fool?
looks more like the superman symbol
LOL i cant believe THAT is ur "evidence".
ur funny.
provide free food and health care to the people living in the palestinian terriotires including hamas. However, you must perservere. In order to take down the zionist order, do not let your kids eat food coming from these organizations. And after a rocekt shot by hamas accidentally lands in palestinian territory, injuring some children, do not let these blood thirsty jews get their hands on your kids by treating their wounds for free. Even though such services are offered to all palestinians throughout israel for free by charitable israeli organizations, your will must be stronger!!!
(notice the sarcasm, you are an idiot... israel has more organizations which attempt to provide every sort of humanitarian aid to the palestinians than every other country put together)
not a single article was written that said that they didnt, and the UN has yet to bring charges against Israel for stopping organzations from going into gaza.....

her group did not work with israel, and they have shown to be anti-israel.
Israel let in the red cross, UN food aid programs and other such IGO's.
maybe you should do a little more research....
Speaking of research....
You have research about groups that israel does not let in, ill give you a few that israel does let it:
Shevet Achim, Latet, Brotherly Covenant, Isra-Aid
It's obvious you and I are at an impasse concerning this issue. You are free to continue beating a dead horse, if you like. In the meantime, I'm damn worried about our own rogue government and a gargantuan health care bill that is going to monopolize the industry so that even the Obama followers are going to get screwed along with the rest of us.
I support the people of Israel as well as Jews all over the world the same way I support ALL of God's children. I do not support the actions of the Israeli government for a variety of reasons, most of them being similar to reasons I don't support my own government, here in the US.
Disapproval of Israeli policy doesn't equate support for Hamas. I don't know of anyone, other than someone in Hamas, who supports Hamas.
I will say, though, that if I were put in the position that I wasn't allowed to work so that I could put food on the table for my family, I would employ Hamas, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, the Irish Republican Army, or whoever it took to retaliate on my behalf so I could feed my family.
Is it terrorism to protect your home?
Let me make it simple: I DO NOT SUPPORT TERRORISM. I do, however, fully support retaliation if I am unable to feed my family.
