Video of Today's suicide bombing - Jan 29th

[GePap]

There is nothing new left to say on this whole conflict right now. Same old stuff, same old.

anyone have video from some terrorts attacks elsewhere? That way we get to see dead bodies from all around the world.

[Ben Kenobi]

3 acts of humanity - rewarded by 4 dead Israelis.

I wish though, you guys were not building a security wall. I cannot see this policy easing tensions in the long run. Palestinians and Jews need more contact, not less.

[Sirotnikov]

Che - if you for a minute think that Israel is not doing whatever it possibly can to minimize civilian damage, than you are mistaken - and right now my information comes from real life, and not newspaper sources.

If you had compared the death rates of palestinain civilians with death rates of civilians in other battles taking place in a civilian environment, you would see the Israelis outscore the US, UK and UN in it's care and consideration for citizens.

I have not wittnessed an Israeli action yet, but I now know alot more facts about how they work, and I can tell you that claims of Israeli inconsideration are false.

Everybody chill out -- or else.

Ah, but do your real life sources include thigns such as footages of IDF men deliberately targeting journalists and peaceful protesters, while turning a blind eye to the violent acts of Israeli settlers?

Just watched the video. My support for Israel is now absolute. Those murdering bastards don't deseve to live, let alone have their own country.

Then it does strike as a bit odd that the Palestinian casualties are double that of Israelis. (Also numbers aside, no fancy videos about that - damn Palestinians caught in the technological middle ages - but there are some truely disturbing pictures of 2 year old Palestinians meeting their maker or eternal darkness. )

No, it doesn't. Israelis are just a lot more effective. Plus, I'd like to know if those are purely civilian casualties

My real life source is me. I know rather well what efforts go on to ensure minimal cause of harm to civilians and civilian property.

As for footages of IDF men deliberately targetting journalists, I'm still waiting for those to come out

What I do know is that soldiers turn a blind eye to settlers, and that does infuriate me, especialyl when it comes to racist sleaze bags that exist among settlers.

Sadly though, the soldiers are not allowed to touch settlers, since they are army folk. Only the police or Shin Bet can deal with Israeli citizens.

What is more sad, is that mostly the IDF troops protecting the settlers are racists or sleaze bags themselves. They are usually Border Patrol and BP are considered the dumbest and most violent bunch in the army. It's a problem, and I'm not sure how to fix it.

The positive thing is that often Israeli news reporters join their patrols and manage to cover events like settlers harrassing Palestinians.

The police and shin bet are attempting to crack down settler voilent groups, especially the terrorists among them (and there are those, sadly). But the police sucks at that, and the Shin Bet is dedicated to preventing terrorism against Israelis first, so it's short on man power.

[Zylka]

settlements (of both sides) are one reality that definitely need to be cut & withdrawn before tensions ease. I briefly remember a home video of Sharon promo visiting a settler family who ambushed him with bawling demands for a "warriors" lead

they generally seem *ing psycho, but again - that's a simple perception

Re read my post. If Israel wanted, it could do it. Since it wasnt done, Israel doesnt want. The Pals want, but cant.

I think there might be repercussions if you set out to kill 4 million people, "even" Palestinians.

Yes, but how bad when you have a rich and powerful Uncle?

[Bereta_Eder]

I doubt we'll ever find out. Thank God it's not in Rwanda.

I see.
So the Palestinians can kill all the Israelis it can and Israel should only kill X% of the Palestinians it can (assuming they are all guilty of involvement in terror)?

Did no one tell you the difference between fractions and raw numbers, and how you can't compare absolute numbers?

I've seen them with my own eyes, so I don't know why you're still waiting.

So have I.

Israel is occupying Palestinian land and violating the Fourth Geneva convention as well as UN resolutions. If Israelis want sympathy they can stop ****ing the Palestinians over. This attack was in response for an Israeli attack the previous day. I didn't see any pictures of that.

I feel sorry for the victims, but that doesn't extend to endorsing that fat Nazi Sharon. I only wish the bombers had got him instead.
