Is this here for a reason other than flaming?

[MKS]

Another useless demonstration. Israel has every right to defend itself from attack. The Palestinians and the Arabs must realize that they are in the wrong in this case and quickly act to compensate Israel for their errors. If they do not then war is inevitable, I for one hope that Israel's action is quick and decisive and once and for all destroys the elements of terror and violence that plaque the Palestinian and Arab communities.

no its a valid point. if you are protseting violince you should protest both sides, unless you favor one side exclusvily. in which case your moral authoirty is nil.

and all the arabs did was..waht shoot some rockets at sirael? yea poor people...

[MKS]

No they have not; they have responded to attacks from Palestinian militants, they do have aright to defend themselves from such provocations. The Palestinians, who are now governed by a very anti-Israeli faction, have constantly provoked Israel, and when Israel gave Gaza back they attacked again. The people who govern the Palestinian people are openly hostile to Israel and openly seek its destruction. Israel has always been more receptive to the peace process than their Palestinian counterparts

[Janus]

No they have not; they have responded to attacks from Palestinian militants, they do have aright to defend themselves from such provocations.
And they have been terrorizing the Palestinian communities with their incursions and draconian measures.

[cormacobear]

I don't think Hezbollah should be firing rockets into cities either, but they're merely aiding their allies. and Isreals already moved in ground troops so now Hezbollah has military targets.

The Palestinians like any people have the right to self determination. Any foreign occupation is offensive. The palestinians also have the right to not watch their families blown up on their own beaches. Look at the number of civilian deaths each side has caused ans clearly Isreal is the aggressor. Occupying soldiers are legitimate targets for palestinians in Palestine.
