Gaza conflict: Casualties mount amid fresh violence

Israel needs the room for a rapid expanding Population :

Hence the so called " occupied territories".

does it really matter what the Palestinians are.  it is not they on Israeli land but Israeli took their land.  that is the issue..strangers came and settled their land and chased them out with the complicity of the big countries and the UN.

however nasty the Palestinians may be is prolly of no consequence.  they wud have to settle their issues on the inside, among themselves.

surely if they do anything that affect that situation from outside it could only be from a defensive position fighting the usurpers.  that could make things worse for them in the short run but it is their war.  fighting to get their land back would be natural..seems natural. 

we can support them..are supporting them.. and that could be decisive.  but the Palestinians have a lot of real fighting to do in the end.  as I said it is their war first.  it is our war too for those usurpers mean us all bad. and it is best we combine to stop them right there.  but the Palestinians have to fight as if their lives depended on it.  it does I guess.

there are no nice people in the world....NONE!  but we do have rules...and that is why we made them because none are nice ::LOL:: ::LOL::

seriously... no nation or people are supposed to invade any other and kick them off their own land, out of their own homes.  that is the law.  that law has been broken and a people usurped.  that seems to be all there is to this issue

You have not addressed the biblical belief of Christian countries :

That Israel is the Chosen People of their God !

yes..true!

Hagee is it..the old religious fart who is the central idiot in that mix

christian zionism is a powerful fringe but fringe it is...

the multitudes demonstrating all over the world are more powerful in combined movement.  we have to look to see how deep this response is..if ordinary people globally  ready to go far, or all the way on Israel this time

....listened til I almost puked .... >

It is worth billions of $$ to Israel....some fringe !

How much the xtian USA give em in aid annually ?  :-\

Christian Zionists are a rapturous bunch not so..genocidal really and no friend ultimately of Israel.  they want all the Jews gathered in Israel which is some kind of armageddon-ish prerequisite for the return of Jesus.

when all the Jews are gathered in Israel is that supposed to start a wanton killing of all of then, summoning the return of Jesus who will waft all the true believers top heaven in an instant ::confused::

pure sugar  that tase like shiite :: ::
