Israeli Defense Forces are like, so hip with Social Media... As is Hamas

[brycickle]

Both sides hit civilian targets. The whole situation is fucked and has been since it started back in the 40's.

[vegan*shawn]

It is such a disgusting situation over there. Fuck both sides at this point!! 

[L33Tg33k]

Great, another thing to feel powerless and guilty over. Fuck this shit so hard.

[brycickle]

It's weird, but I equate it to a room flashing over. Both sides keep radiating heat back onto each other until it all goes up in flames...



Basically heat re-radiating until it all goes up in smoke.

I'm sorry you had to participate in this man.it's horrible.

[L33Tg33k]

Did you just call me a depressed hippy? Well, that's actually pretty accurate.

[Manolo]

oh yeah back on topic here's some premium grade goebbels shit from the IDF youtube channel,now get me some brawndo.

[Bertie]

I thought we were on topic, but yeah - that video is gross.
But then, so's this:

[WTFSoCaT]

interesting


"Hamas doesn?t put explosives in their rockets. You literally have to be HIT by one to be injured/killed. Israel: you can get killed halfway down the block."

Israel will have to find a new subcontractor to replace Ahmed Jabari as its border guard in the south.
-By Aluf Benn-(haaretz)


Ahmed Jabari was a subcontractor, in charge of maintaining Israel's security in Gaza. This title will no doubt sound absurd to anyone who in the past several hours has heard Jabari described as "an arch-terrorist," "the terror chief of staff" or "our Bin Laden."

But that was the reality for the past five and a half years. Israel demanded of Hamas that it observe the truce in the south and enforce it on the multiplicity of armed organizations in the Gaza Strip. The man responsible for carrying out this policy was Ahmed Jabari.

In return for enforcing the quiet, which was never perfect, Israel funded the Hamas regime through the flow of shekels in armored trucks to banks in Gaza, and continued to supply infrastructure and medical services to the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip. Jabari was also Israel's partner in the negotiations for the release of Gilad Shalit; it was he who ensured the captive soldier's welfare and safety, and it was he who saw to Shalit's return home last fall...

...The assassination of Jabari will go down in history as another showy military action initiated by an outgoing government on the eve of an election.


Also

2008:

"The office of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert admitted on Wednesday that it is allowing the transfer of hundreds of millions of shekels to the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip every month.

Most of the funds enter Gaza in currency exchanges for the dollars and euros Hamas smuggles into the territory following fund-raising trips to Iran and other supportive Middle East regimes..

..Shurat Hadin director Nitsana Darshan-Leitner explained that without the influx of Israeli shekels, the currency of record in Gaza, Hamas would be financially unable to rule. By allowing the entry of shekels into Gaza, Darshan-Leitner noted that Israel is breaching an economic embargo of Gaza by Western powers that Israel itself insisted upon, and is helping a terrorist organization to launder money, a direct violation of the Terror-Funding Act of 2005.

Worse, said Darshan-Leitner, is the fact that " the Israeli government's policy of transferring shekels is assisting the Hamas terrorists with their missile attacks on the Negev communities."

In response, Olmert's office wrote that "due to conclusions that there is an Israeli interest that the transfer of funds continue , a decision was made to continue to transfer certain sums of money to the Gaza Strip."

Shurat Hadin has threatened to sue the government both in local and international courts if the transfer of funds does not cease.

mother fucking real talk

i'm glad that it's not universally accepted to take israels side these days. it's crazy that the same people who bash christians for way less offensive behavior in the us will sympathize with the israel and be offended if anyone suggest that maybe they don't have a right to exist in their country that is only 70 years old. if they want to go to war with palestine, let them go it alone. it's horrible to think that we'd get involved in their dirt.

The IDF media officer just said 69 casualties in Gaza from latest strikes with 40% of them civilian

If you want to skip my rant, just think about this- the larger and more widespread a culture is, the more violent and dominating it likely is and has been.

Christians way less offensive behavior?
 You mean like killing and dominating most of the world and forcing them to convert to christianity at the point of a sword?
 People in South and Central America aren't all Catholic because the Spanish made good sound logical arguments.
Also, how about the people on U.S. land before the good white christian man got here?
Killed off and forced into reservations and BIA schools to be christianized.
Then there was the Morro Massacre, in which The U.S. went in to "liberate" the Philippines but couldn't leave until we "civilized and Christianized" the already Catholic Philippine population by massacring them, children and all.
Then there was the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition and endless more times when Christians attempted to "purify" their societies by killing off anybody who wasn't exactly like them.

You're totally correct, but he was just comparing contemporary iterations of christian extremism with today's Zionist extremism, not saying that intolerance and violence from Christians was any more infrequent or more justified. No need to bend over backwards just to make a political point.

Yeah ok, Gipper. Now let's get back on topic.

You mean like Joseph Kony, The Westboro Baptist Church, attacking Afghanistan, repression of gay rights, or the death penalty for homosexuality in Uganda? Yeah, contemporary too.  No matter where jews, muslims, or any other religion stands, Christians are by far the worst, whether you are looking at the contemporary world or not.

He's right, Arabs having been enslaving and conquering since their inception. Some of them still do. Christians have a TON of blood on their folded hands, but not as much in comparison.

[Alan]

What are you talking about? Arabs aren't a religion. And if you mean Muslims, you're wrong. Either way, let's not derail this thread. (Says he, naively)

You're right, I screwed the pooch calling them arabs instead and I feel like that mistake may discredit my arguement, but I'm not wrong about what I said.

[ChronicBluntSlider]

Israel should be condemned in their own right despite all the shit committed by other religions, but some Christians have blood on their hands for this one too. Here's Mitt Romney saying that part of his faith is that Jesus will kill all the Jews. And it's not just the Mormons. The idea is that the Jews need to defeat/kill the Palestinians and occupy the holy land before Apocalypse begins and then they all get killed by Jesus. It's one of the reasons AIPAC/Israel gets such heavy support from Evangelicals and other conservative Christian denominations.

No ones questioning how regular and crazy mormonism is; it's an established fact. While Israel's actions are becoming more and more questionable, palestine's methods, actions, and motive are all fucked.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

Methods and actions perhaps, but not motive. Most of the people of Palestine are peaceful people who are fucked by a terrible situation, there are plenty of peaceful Israelis getting fucked by the conflict and violence too, but to a far lesser extent. 
The fact is neither of the military factions are pursuing peace through understanding, and think peace won't come until the other side is wiped out, neither will succeed, and both will end up killing countless civillians.

Oh, and George W. Bush had a very "pro-Israel" stance in the AIPAC sense of the word for the very same reason mentioned above.

That is the biggest pile of shit, Gipper.

Explain to me how. Tell me how Christianity spread so strongly across central and South America if it wasn't through intense violence. I'm not defending the actions of Israel here, I'm just pointing out that its completely wrong to act like the Jews or Muslims even can be compared to the violence that has occurred and continues in the name of Christendom.

I think you are missing a word up there, but If you are saying that Christianity is comparable to Jihadists in the modern world you are high.  I would say that both sides were pretty even at forcing their religion onto others up to a certain time period.  Do you think that American anti-gay, anti-Islamic hate speech is the same thing as shooting a little girl in the head from point blank range for not being a proper Talibani Muslim?  If you are going to compare the Taliban to an American Christian soldier...do you honestly believe that American soldiers are fighting in the name of Christianity and their interpretation of the Bible or because they saw their country attacked by jihadists?  Does it suck when some lunatic domestic-terrorist kills a Sikh or guns down children who are affiliated with "multiculturalism"?  Yes, but it seems like more of a reaction to Islamic terrorism rather than this neo-Crusades bullshit you are trying to sell.  You seem to just hate Christians because of your personal sociopolitical disagreements and are poorly attempting to reinforce your hatred for them.

[Manolo]

Are you guys arguing which religion is the worst?to me they're all equally responsible for dumbing down and in the end destroying humanity.
