Israel air strikes on Gaza kills Hamas leader

[Russian Crushin]

the only reason all of this is happening is because of the existence of a jewish state. why did their needed to be a jewish state in the first place? before the creation of israel the jewish population in palestine was small (but muslims and jews lived peacefully..even in iran jews and muslims live in peace) because many of them were living elsewhere in europe, north america etc. everything was fine as it was, but the creation of israel began all this **** and hate and resentment towards jews...it created these radical groups like hamas and hezbollah. so if you want to look at the true root of this problem you need to look all the way to the creation of Israel.....

You have to be kidding right

in 2005 Israel withdrew from Gaza, dismantled all the settlements, deported thousands of Jews. Following the withdrawal, the borders with Egypt and Israel remained open. There was no "siege", no occupation. And yet, the rockets continued to rain on Israeli civilians. Violence has consequences. Israel has the right to defend itself.

Do the Palestinians have the right to defend themselves?

The bombs continued to rain on Gaza, which is cut off from the rest of the world much like the Warsaw Ghetto was cut off in 1943.

Why is the casualty count in these encounters 40 Palestinians dead for every 1 Israeli?

Who is the aggressor?

Sure but explain to me why rockets continued to rain into Israeli civilian populations after they withdrew from gaza in 2005?

You dont "defend" yourself by firing into civilians after israel leaves and then cry war crimes when real rockets come back at you while you're hiding in the schools and hospitals of your civilians

Yea there is a very high rate of collateral damage when those terrorizing israel hide within their civilian populations

I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that Hamas is firing rockets into Israel -- But it is a direct result of the recent assassination of the Hamas Leader by Israel.

Here's where it gets sticky, Israel violated the cease-fire by targeting the Hamas leader, and instigated the retaliatory firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas supporters. Prior to the Assassination, there was relative quiet {as quiet as it can be in that area of the world}

Why did Israel target and kill Hamas leaders, WHO JUST SO HAPPEN TO HAVE BEEN DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED BY THE Palestinians. What would Israel do, if Hamas targeted and killed Netanyahu ????
