Some power points you bring up there. Point #4 really struck me.

I've heard it said that the Gaza situation was escalated in an effort to distract the world from what is happening in Syria - the old sleight of hand trick so often used by world leaders. What are your thoughts on this, Nautikos?

When they dragged that poor man around the town on the back of their motorcycle who they killed in the street for suspicion of talking to the Israelis, they proved to me and I hope the world, that they are not men, but disgusting, vile, and vicious, animals...Worse than animals...Beasts.

Nautikos
Why do people not see truth when it comes to Israel? Because Israel truly does belong to God. The idea that the death toll is greater on the side of Israel is crazy. The idea that Israel is occupying Palestine is so incredibly unreal to me. Learn the historical truth and send Hillary Clinton to China.

Oh, and another thing, Straightforward...
You ask me to look at the difference in the death count - have you not been paying attention at all? Everybody else knows, and Hamas themselves have admitted, that they have placed their rocket launchers smack dab in the middle of their civilian population! That's why I said they're responsible for teir own deaths as well, not just the Israeli ones...

Re: Nautikos, I don't really advocate violence from any one, but can you
Straightforward, Israel is not 'occupying' anything! The Israelis have simply taken back (though not all of it) what had been Israel from about 1300 BC until the destruction of the 2nd Temple, became part ot the Roman Empire and subsequently part of Byzantium. The Arabs conquered it in the 7th century, and the Jews reconquered their ancient land in the 20th, with some help.
And there never has been a Palestinian language, culture or state. These are Arabs, speaking Arabic. Let me tell you what Arabs say in moment's of honesty:
The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese... Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism.... (Zuheir Mohsen, March 31, 1977)
But many in the West, especially those whose grasp of history is shaky at best, have bought the myths of a 'Palestine' and a 'Palestinian people'...
And what's this about 'decimating' the Palestinian population? That's just hogwash...

Nautikos, I don't really advocate violence from any one, but can you
look at what is the death count on each side? And the continuous violence in various forms by Israel which is OCCUPYING Palestine all these years and decimating the Palestinian population?
