I love it how you guys ignored post #229 and went back to Hamas' artillery. Also ignored in this thread was: 1. Israel's illegal occupation. 2. Israel's lack of courage to face Iran, whom they blame for supplying Hamas with weaponry in the first place. 3. Israel funded and helped start Hamas. 4. Why we're so buddy-buddy with Israel. So I'll address each one myself 1. Two state solution is only solution. Israel holds all the cards, here. 2. They like to play tough guy with the people of Gaza but refuse to face Iran. They're cowards. 3. Hamas was originally started to provide Palestinian people with "charitable and educational activities", but it was more likely started to oppose Fatah and start a civil war amongst the Palestinians. 4. Lobbyists lining the pockets of politicians and to help one another develop WMD's.

Show me the ocular proof. Show me the death toll. Until then, ssssshhhhhhh!

For real. They can't be that stupid to actually believe it's even possible. Freaking recognize Israel's right to exist. Stop targeting innocent civilians. Drop the tough guy act, because you ain't. And play nice neighbor. Israel, give us some scraps to make our own country in. Dismantle all the settlements. Allow us to run our country on our own. Simple, but the reality is they both hate each other too much for that. Real peace died with Rabin's assassination.

Listen, I hate violence, but even I know Israel has to strike back in it's own defense. Even from "bottle rockets". I'm just of the belief they should handle it like they handled the car that held Hamas members. Systematic, targeted assassinations over a couple of months. Make Hamas feel safe by backing off a couple of days, wait for them to come out in public and then BOOM! See ya later terrorist. It's as simple as that. I keep going on about Rhetoric vs reality and maybe you should open your eyes to that too. The Palestinians need and deserve their own country. The Palestinians' body count over the years isn't nowhere near the amount of Israel's, we're talking decimal points here. The Palestinians suffer from human and civil rights violations. The Occupied Territories are ILLEGAL. The settlements are ILLEGAL. Israel holds all the cards when it comes to real peace. They just don't want any part of it. Two state solution is the only solution. Get that through your thick freakin' skulls. Until then don't be surprised over what happens.

Wrong anaology. In this instance it's more like stab you with a pocket knife come at me with a RPG. I've been watching CNN for two days. I've seen some homes get hit. Trust me when I tell you those rockets are a joke.

Okay, okay. I submit. Hamas is an elite fighting machine. They should be in the same ring as Israel. If this were pay per view they wouldn't even be as highly regarded as Peter McNeeley. They didn't all land in empty fields. Some did hit an actual target. No real damage. Rhetoric vs reality. Period!

80% of them were knocked down. The other 300 plus? Pop goes the weasel. Nothing. Bottle rockets!!

My neighborhood over there has seen much worse. Like a car accident. You didn't just say that!!! Lol!! Five!!! That number is too high!! Lol! More people die on the 4th from sparklers. Give me a break! Thousands launched and only 5 deceased and you're still trying to convince me that those weapons are the bees knees? Whatever.

They'd be laughed out of their skull and crossbones gatherings if they did use them. They wouldn't be able to show their faces in public again.

Lol! Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

As I've stated time and time again and I'll say it once more. Those weapons are a joke. They're an unsophisticated, meager, pathetic joke. If they weren't we would've seen the damage ad nauseaum. Just like the M80 that went off in that bus.

You know how I know those weapons are a joke? The US and the Israelis wouldn't be caught dead using them. And I'm the pea brain...

Accurate or not. Those weapons are a joke. The ones that hit in actual residences did very little damage.

You're name is a typo, right? You were supposed to have a "P" there instead of a "C". That's not what I'm saying. Not at all. Did you see the video of the Israelis taking out that car that had Hamas members in it? Well that's the proper way to handle the situation. Everything else is just sheer brutality.

Their weapons are a joke. Period. The ones that landed and the ones that got deflected. If they weren't, the media would be constantly shoving that footage in our faces.

No. What I'm trying to say is the word "sophisticated" and those rockets shouldn't be mentioned together.

Once again, Reality vs Rhetoric. You love to accept and embrace the rhetoric. Those were bottle rockets. They caused bottle rocket type damage. If they weren't many more people would've died. BTW. I'm referring to the rockets that actually hit. Not the ones taken out by the Iron Dome missle defense system.

I'm glad to hear it.

A humanitarian office responsible for getting food to the people of Gaza has just been hit by Israel.

I never said it was right. I do not support terrorism. I do not support the targeting of civilians.

Remember what I said yesterday about congratulating Israel for creating new terrorists? Well, it looks like I was right, a bus was bombed in Tel Aviv today. First time in a looonnnnggg time. I wanted someone else to say it. Remember, I was the one that posed that question repeatedly. Why would I do that if I wanted to answer the question myself? It's not the only thing, but it is one of the major reasons.

Sure, the lobbyists in Washington DC have nothing to do with it. Keep telling yourself that. In the meantime, the tail will continue to wag the dog.

SS and whatever else they have coming? Coming? What if they already have it? Did that ever cross your mind? And I guess my parents would be the first ones to ever gain citizenship in the US, live here for 40+ years, and then move back to their native land.

You nailed it on all counts. Nicely done.

That's not necessarily true. Treated poorly? Yes. Worse? Hell no.
