blown to bits indiscriminately! Please don't give me the 'human shields excuse, long since debunked by Human Rights Watch,Amnesty International, and the Israeli group B'Tselem. I noticed that Netanyahu and the head if Mossad can't agree on their policy regarding Hamas. B??? wants to talk, Netanyahu can't see beyond more bombing and destruction, which is
understandable because if a quiet period breaks out he will be back in court in charges of corruption.
The indiscriminate nature of the Israeli attacks tells us a lot about the attitude of the Zionists towards the Palestinians. It's blatantly racist and goes back a long way. Begin(1982) " beasts on two legs" and there's tons of it. Dehumanize your opponent and every kind of atrocity becomes acceptable as Jews know through the Holocaust in WW2.
Balan, if you look up the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli settlers (Zionists)in the West Bank over the last year I think you will find it's about 1000. In addition, the Palestinians have had to put up with continual harassment, their animas killed, olive trees burnt, and so on. Look up also how many Israelis have been killed or injured by the tin pot rockets sent over from Gaza. For the ten year period from 2004 to 2014 it was 31. I have had trouble finding more recent figures.
People with balls will only put with this kind of mistreatment for so long. Netanyahu rejects any kind of two state solution so tragically I see no end to this situation in Gaza and the Westbank.
This is definitely my last comment on this topic, one cannot burry one's head in the sand but I joined the forum for laughs and football not politics. I've seen enough of politicians who can look straight into the camera and tell you a barefaced lie, that I hardly trust a one.

Thanks for the reply Tap, but I'm still no wiser as to why Hamas will not release those innocent people. Maybe you hit the nail on the head with this comment.
