...Israel needs to end the rocket attacks against their country once and for all even if it means driving Hamas and it's supporters into the sea .

There is this cool thing called negotiating for peace.
Both sides have to actually agree to a ceasefire for it to make sense.






Israeli Doves for sure.


Thank god they wont stop now.... I don't want it to happened again... I am tired of these sirens..
I hope the IDF will crush HAMAS so hard it wont raise its head for at least 20 years.

forgot to mention that for months the Israeli Ambassador, Ron Prosor, has been complaining bitterly to the UN about the ongoing Palestinian missile fire from the Gaza Strip into Israel. Further to his verbal addresses to the UN, he has submitted a plethora of written complaints. The UN, has responded with total and utter silence. A silence that Mr. Prosor has described as "thundering."
Now the same UN, which was unable to get together and agree anything over the wholesale slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians in Syria, and the Arab League which acted likewise, have within 72 hours met on a platform of speaking out against the Israeli response to the same Palestinian missile fire that Ron Prosor had been pleading to the UN about for months.
It is truly amazing. It has a parallel with the media coverage, which has been silent for months during the Palestinian missile attacks upon Israel, but which broke its own thunderous silence as soon as Israel eventually responded and the first Palestinian casualty was inflicted.

"I have consistently condemned indiscriminate rocket fire from Gaza into Israel. At the same time, the excessive use of force and endangering of civilian lives are also intolerable," Ban said. "I continue to condemn the rising number of civilian lives lost in Gaza."

Wish he'd do the same for Israel... but he didn't say anything for the past 9 years..

they have brought this upon themselves, using children as human shields the Palestinians should be ashamed of themselves

Palestinians aren't a distinct group. You can't be a distinct group if you have nothing that sets you apart from the other Arab groups in the region. An Austrian (a German ethnic group like Swiss) is a more distinct ethnic group than Palestinians.

is it like the Ashkenazim, the Mizrachim, the Ethiopians, the Parsim etc.?

Who gives a fuck what the UN thinks. You are not a distinct people if you're not distinct from your neighbors.

and today i learned that Palestinians dialects (a distinctly levantine people with a distinct way of speaking irregular from their neighbours and with a distinct history) don't exist :o

The Palestianian dialect is about as distinct as South German to North German. Regional differences, they're the same people.

doesn't matter, your distinct bs argument is not what makes a nation


A nation must be distinguishable from other nations to be a distinct group. There is nothing distinct about Palestinians. They are Jordanian Arabs.

compared to what? standard Arabic? normal levantine? other south levantine?
Are the Karelians Finns? Are the Yugoslavs a one people? How many peoples are the Turks and the Azebaijani? or the Nordics? Which languages exist in France/Italy/Spain? What's Czech and what' Slovakian? What's Russian and what's Belarussian or Ukrainian? What's Slavic language x and what's Slavic language y?
Fuck off.
True though. Southern United states (idk how much it fits in with the rest), Australia, and Southern parts of the UK should be united. they've got similar dialects, they're a similar people and blahblah simplifications here and there. we should just disregard everything about their history because they've got vaguely similar dialects.

is this before or after Jordan took the bulk of Palestinian refugees? :)
i'll give you a historical pro-Israeli hint out of pity tho. it has to do with many Egyptians moving to the Levant during Muhammad Ali (of Egypt)'s reign.
