Question:
#PrayForGaza - what is going on?
2014-07-12 08:14:48 UTC
I know that there's a war between Israel and Palestine.. but I am confused. I don't wanna start a blame game, as killing innocent people will never be justified.

I am seeing so many biased photos.. there are photos going viral on twitter and facebook regarding those people and kids killed in Gaza, and it's like the Israel is so evil..

and then when you go to Israel-biased or any jewish sites, they say that the Hamas had been bombing Israel for more than 10 years now so it's only a relief that Israel is retaliating now.. but during those bombs, were there so many innocent people killed as of now on Gaza? or maybe because it's the time and the day of viral photos and videos that everything is mainly seen on social media and has the tendency to exaggerate them?

I know, war is war, murder is murder.. but any insights about this? please don't be biased.

The only reasons why more people in Israel haven't been killed or injured by the Hamas bombs are that:



1. The bombs have terrible guidance

2. All Israeli homes, hospitals, hotels, etc. MUST have bomb shelters, by law.

3. Israel's Iron Dome shoots down most of the bombs.





It is a FACT that Israel NEVER bombs first--it is ALWAYS in response to Hamas bombs, and always after many days and weeks. What do you think the US response would be to Mexico lobbing bombs into Texas?

The Palestinians and other terrorist groups (Hammas, Hezbollah) hide behind civilians and children so that when Israel is forced to retaliate- you get these stories of Israel targeting women and children, when they're returning fire where the rockets came from.



This hatred is thousands of years old, and in WWII the Muslims were allied with Hitler.

There are plenty of pictures of the grand Mufti (he kind of looks like George Carlin) cozying up with Hitler.

Hamas is attempting to get rid of Israel through rocket attacks, if they had better equipment they would use it. They are well known for using anything for pro-Hamas propaganda. Heck they used a picture of a dead Syrian family to say it was a Palestinian family killed by Israel.



What is currently happening is Israel is retaliating after weeks of rocket attacks by Hamas.

Israelis cheer watching rockets dropped on women and children like Americans watch fireworks on the Fourth of July and cheer but if you don't like genocide your anti-Semitic because the nazi holocaust was about 80 years ago.
