... group rules an area there would be negative consequences for the people who lived there.

from people for not unilaterally sitting down with these terrorists and giving them what they want. They wanted terrorists as leaders - hope they're enjoying what they themselves voted for.

Two wedding ceremonies, a UN school, a children's hospital, and a parking garage for ambulances.

Sadly... only innocent civilians were killed.

Innocent children civilians somehow were the only ones in the terrorist build tunnels. Terrorists nowhere to be found. My eyes rolled so much, I got a headache.

IBT: Palestinians Fire First, Israel ‘Ends Ceasefire’

Terror supporting Hamasbara propaganda in the western press. The article's headline is still there, unchanged...

Gotta love it, huh?

I was surprised. Remember the head of Labour party called hamas his pals until he took heat. I sure wont forget.

Can you imagine?

The real problem is that there's big refugee camp with almost 2 million people 50 miles south of Tel Aviv, where people are desperate, really poor and really angry. I don't think that making the lives of these people even worse will solve any problems whatsoever.

The OP conveniently gives a reason for not dealing with the problem, and meanwhile the situation only gets worse.

... it's Hamas that gives them a reason for not dealing with the problem. Not the OP.

think Israel should act differently?

So long as Hamas is in charge of Gaza, their "stance" on Gaza is just about their only choice. If tunnels between Gaza/Israel are discovered, they should be destroyed. If terrorists launch rocket/mortar attacks, there should be counter-battery fire.

Do you think that that the people of Gaza are well served by their Hamas rulers when they divert humanitarian aid toward constructing tunnels instead of homes and intentionally site their attacks so that counter-strikes will kill as many civilians as possible?

Does that mean that the problem with Gaza is solved?

Solving the issues in Gaza has nothing to do with getting Hamas to do anything... other than disappear.

Let's see you lay into Hamas for what's happening in Gaza.

Can you do it?

Go on, begin...

Hamas.

In some ways, continuing the blockade is the best way to keep them in power indefinitely. Cuba has been under US embargo since 1960, and socialism wouldn't have survived there without it.

After all, there's no proof Hamas uses anything coming in for military purposes....says the UN which you trust:

You have a problem criticizing Hamas legitimately, don't you?

As much as you cry about not being allowed to legitimately criticize Israel, you object to any legitimate criticism of Hamas.

Yes?

Because they're victims and it's racist....?

If there were none and no terrorist attacks there would be no blockade.

what any of that has to do with this story?

Top of the news over here .......guess you have to be Israeli to get it .

Bereaved families demand to see Protective Edge report: 'Whoever failed should pay'

Asaf Rozen
Published: 05.06.16, 11:14 / Israel News

Families who lost children in Operation Protective Edge are demanding to see a draft report written by State Comptroller Yosef Shapira who intends to publish a scathing report about Operation Protective Edge in Gaza in 2014. The expected critique condemns the conduct of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner security circle.

for Israel. Still don't know what that has to do with hamas's tunnels but whatever.

....the links I gave you would have a clue ....." but whatever " .

Try again ....

And another on the same topic from Aretz Sheva - and I still don't know what it has to do with the hamas built tunnels. Are you denying they exist? That hamas stole the aid money meant for hospitals, food, schools and bought tunnels and built tunnels instead? Still not getting you think this proves.

I give up with you two Americans .....dumb and dumber with each passing post .

Makes no difference to me but I still don't understand why you seem to be denying the tunnels exist or that hamas built them with the hope of killing Israelis. You WANT that scathing report to mean something it doesn't. That's not my problem.

Clearly there weren't any tunnels because Hamas loves peace. Netanyahu made them up as an excuse to launch attacks and destroy civilian homes.

</hamas>

from the behavior of the terrorist hamas and the deaths that result from the behavior of their elected hamas leaders. They wouldn't want to look too hard at what they're supporting.

as usual.

constant deflections would cause some embarrassment but I guess not.
