It's like walling off Manhattan as starving, brutalizing, and freezing everyone on the island because of some small fraction of the normal murder rate. But nope, we don't call that collective punishment, because it's just too accurate.- PlagueOfMorons, on 04/10/2008, -3/+15I can imagine some rabid frothing Likudnik screaming: "Every Palestinian child in this area is a potential killer. Every 2 year old civilian will grow up to be a terrorist with a rocket! So let's stop them now, pre-emptive genocide is the only way! Starve them! For the good of the Master Race!"

Give the palestinians what they deserve. Nothing.
If they can stop bombing civilians in Israel then they should get something back but as long as they continue their terrorism, let them feel the pinch.- Kizilbash, on 04/10/2008, -4/+12This is exactly the same reasoning al-Qaeda used to justify attacking the US. You are all guilty because you elected these warmongers. The same reasoning can be used by the Palestinians to justify blowing up civilians in Israel (and certainly in the settlements).

- MarkusGarvey, on 04/10/2008, -3/+10wow ..so all the Palestinians are terrorist by proxy.//s....Hamas is a direct result of the oppression of the Palestinian people by the Zionist.....tell me *Cashman57, how would you react if your people were threatened with genocide and they were taking your land by force?
- chipsngravy, on 04/11/2008, -3/+7The rockets won't stop until the root cause of the problem is addressed: the occupation.
- khatarnaak, on 04/11/2008, -1/+4The 'west' wanted democrcay - they got democracy.
You cannot demand the Palastinian people hold free and fair elections and then not agree with the results it brings about. There's a certain double standard about it all.
- SteelChicken, on 04/11/2008, -7/+3the people/terrorists attacking isreal from gaza are operating in a vacuum, or do they have local support?
if I knew terrorists were operating out of an area I lived, and I was suffering because of it, I wouldn't blame someone else, id do whatever I could to get rid of them. not cry about oppression.- neocognitism, on 04/11/2008, -2/+5Maybe you should move there and lend your support, you seem to think conditions are fine there, and you'd be helping your benefactor, Israel.
No? Why not? Chickenhawk? Yeah, we're used to that in your group. - DeepState, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1Good point. Why are they attacking Israel anyway. Haven't those Palestinians heard of love thy neighbor? Do they just hate freedom?
