Throwing stones at our enemy? What the fuck ever did a woman do to a muslim to get stoned?
Why do your posts never make sense? Seriously, something wrong with you? That's what you got from my post? stop being an idiot and actually try to learn something about this conflict or go back to trolling the Canadians thread. Don't bring your lame ass trolling or whatever it is you're trying to do. I post an article about idf soldiers speaking up and you come back with a lame ass post. You're awesome.
During Tuesday's presentation, some of the anonymous testimonies were read out or shown on video, including one by an infantry soldier who recounts how two Palestinian women were killed after being spotted nearly a kilometer away from an IDF force talking on their cell phones in an orchard.
"The bodies were checked and they were unarmed," the soldier recalls. "They were still listed as terrorists: they were shot at, so of course they must have been terrorists."

The Spanish football club Sevilla has rejected a €5 million ($5.7 million) sponsorship deal to advertise tourism in Israel on its players’ shirts.
The 2015 UEFA Europa League champions turned down the offer due to the “political connotations” of appearing to support Israel, according to the Spanish sports publication Mundo Deportivo.
Club sources told the sports website ElDesmarque that the image Israeli sponsorship would project “could be detrimental to Sevilla, especially taking into account present political issues and sensibilities and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.”
The Israeli ministry of tourism offered Sevilla more than twice the sum it received in its last sponsorship agreement with Malaysia, according to a report in Israel’s Ynet.
In January 2009, Frédéric Kanouté, then one of Sevilla’s star players, was fined by the Spanish football federation for wearing a shirt with the word “Palestine” during a match against La Coruna.
It was a widely appreciated demonstration of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza who were at that time under massive bombardment by Israel.
As of now, Sevilla has not found a sponsor for the coming season, which means its players will take to the pitch with blank shirts, a blow to the Andalusian club’s finances, Mundo Deportivo says.
But it appears that even much-needed millions can’t tempt Sevilla to associate itself with Israel’s toxic brand – its signature massacres in Gaza, military occupation and settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank and mobs chanting “Death to the Arabs” in the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Another day, and more attacks by Palestinians on Israeli civilians. Warning, this video is graphic. First, the terrorist mows down a group of people at a bus stop. Then he jumps out of the car and attacks an injured man with an ax until an armed bystander takes him out. This is the reality that Israelis are living with on a daily basis.

Does anyone ever wonder if the Gaza Ghetto is part of the problem?
zionists don't.
they look at what the situation is and rather than ask "why are they angry at us?" they ask "why is nobody siding with us?" hence the constant stream of "israel is the victim" that we see on here.
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
Funny how a people who were once ghettoized now turn around and do the same to others and wonder why they're attacked nor garner sympathy. But boy do they know how to implement a final solution. Bibi, Bibi, Bibi!

yeah it is pretty sad. i would think that of all people, the israelis would know what it is like, and that they would not subjugate other peoples. i guess with the US backing them, maybe they figure they will ride it out and see how much they could get away with.

Don't forget what Bibi's end game is, he's looking long term, build settlements, continue the subjugation and occupation and 50 years from now, implement the final solution. The Gaza Ghetto is just the beginning and with Sarah Palin and the whole evangelical pandering Koch Brother and Adellson republican field, Bibi may see his master plan come to fruition. Thank Allah Obama looked into Bibi's eyes and saw his soul.
So much stupidity here. Please tell me, prior to 1967, what was the reason for Palestinian attacks? Prior to 1948, what was the reason for Palestinian attacks? You think Gaza is a ghetto? Did you know that Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are both more densely populated than Gaza? Do you know how many millions upon millions of dollars that the Palestinians have received from Europe and the US? Where did that money go? I'll give you a hint. It didn't go to build hospitals or schools or Universities or playgrounds. It went into buying missles and tunnels and weapons. But keep parroting back the same lines. It must be the occupation that is causing this.
Here is a Gaza cleric giving his sermon this past Friday. I dare you to watch this clip and tell me that this conflict is about Palestinian statehood.
If you’ve been following the news from Israel, you might have the impression that “violence” is killing a lot of people. As in this headline: “Palestinian Killed As Violence Continues.” Or this first paragraph: “Violence and bloodshed radiating outward from flash points in Jerusalem and the West Bank appear to be shifting gears and expanding, with Gaza increasingly drawn in.”
Read further, and you might also get a sense of who, according to Western media, is perpetrating “violence.” As in: “Two Palestinian Teenagers Shot by Israeli Police,” according to one headline. Or: “Israeli Retaliatory Strike in Gaza Kills Woman and Child, Palestinians Say,” according to another.
Such was the media’s way of describing two weeks of Palestinian assaults that began when Hamas killed a Jewish couple as they were driving with their four children in the northern West Bank. Two days later, a Palestinian teenager stabbed two Israelis to death in Jerusalem’s Old City, and also slashed a woman and a 2-year-old boy. Hours later, another knife-wielding Palestinian was shot and killed by Israeli police after he slashed a 15-year-old Israeli boy in the chest and back.
Other Palestinian attacks include the stabbing of two elderly Israeli men and an assault with a vegetable peeler on a 14-year-old. On Sunday, an Arab-Israeli man ran over a 19-year-old female soldier at a bus stop, then got out of his car, stabbed her, and attacked two men and a 14-year-old girl. Several attacks have been carried out by women, including a failed suicide bombing.
Regarding the causes of this Palestinian blood fetish, Western news organizations have resorted to familiar tropes. Palestinians have despaired at the results of the peace process—never mind that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas just declared the Oslo Accords null and void. Israeli politicians want to allow Jews to pray atop the Temple Mount—never mind that Benjamin Netanyahu denies it and has barred Israeli politicians from visiting the site. There’s always the hoary “cycle of violence” formula that holds nobody and everybody accountable at one and the same time.
Left out of most of these stories is some sense of what Palestinian leaders have to say. As in these nuggets from a speech Mr. Abbas gave last month: “Al Aqsa Mosque is ours. They [Jews] have no right to defile it with their filthy feet.” And: “We bless every drop of blood spilled for Jerusalem, which is clean and pure blood, blood spilled for Allah.”
Then there is the goading of the Muslim clergy. “Brothers, this is why we recall today what Allah did to the Jews,” one Gaza imam said Friday in a recorded address, translated by the invaluable Middle East Media Research Institute, or Memri. “Today, we realize why the Jews build walls. They do not do this to stop missiles but to prevent the slitting of their throats.”
Then, brandishing a six-inch knife, he added: “My brother in the West Bank: Stab!”
Imagine if a white minister in, say, South Carolina preached this way about African-Americans, knife and all: Would the news media be supine in reporting it? Would we get “both sides” journalism of the kind that is pro forma when it comes to Israelis and Palestinians, with lengthy pieces explaining—and implicitly justifying—the minister’s sundry grievances, his sense that his country has been stolen from him?
And would this be supplemented by the usual fake math of moral opprobrium, which is the stock-in-trade of reporters covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? In the Middle East version, a higher Palestinian death toll suggests greater Israeli culpability. (Perhaps Israeli paramedics should stop treating stabbing victims to help even the score.) In a U.S. version, should the higher incidence of black-on-white crime be cited to “balance” stories about white supremacists?
Didn’t think so.
Treatises have been written about the media’s mind-set when it comes to telling the story of Israel. We’ll leave that aside for now. The significant question is why so many Palestinians have been seized by their present blood lust—by a communal psychosis in which plunging knives into the necks of Jewish women, children, soldiers and civilians is seen as a religious and patriotic duty, a moral fulfillment. Despair at the state of the peace process, or the economy? Please. It’s time to stop furnishing Palestinians with the excuses they barely bother making for themselves.
Above all, it’s time to give hatred its due. We understand its explanatory power when it comes to American slavery, or the Holocaust. We understand it especially when it is the hatred of the powerful against the weak. Yet we fail to see it when the hatred disturbs comforting fictions about all people being basically good, or wanting the same things for their children, or being capable of empathy.
Today in Israel, Palestinians are in the midst of a campaign to knife Jews to death, one at a time. This is psychotic. It is evil. To call it anything less is to serve as an apologist, and an accomplice.
Oh, and the man driving over the Rabbi in the video above? He was an Arab employed by Bezeq, the Israeli national phone company. He's worked for them for 8 years and had a good paying job in a functioning society. He was not oppressed. He was just full of hate.
What happened to Palestinians in 1948 Johnny? What happened when the zionists rampaged, shook the British out and formed the Israeli state? What happened in 1967 when the USS Liberty was attacked? What happened, Johnny, to the Palestinians? And why did that happen? Israel receives, on average, from it's inception, approximately $1BB a year and now receives close to $3BB a year, and what have they done? Create the Gaza Ghetto and build settlements. Make peace with their occupied or neighbors? Nah brah, it's apartheid baby.

What happened to the Palestinians in 1948? They were offered a state by the UN. They instead chose war. (I'm not sure exactly what the USS Liberty has to do with anything since it was clearly a case of friendly fire. The US government seems to have moved on, yet you haven't.) As for American aid, that money basically goes right back to the Americans because it is used to purchase military aid from US companies. I don't think you really understand how foreign "aid" works. Hint: it isn't because the US is so magnanimous. Thankfully, the US government has a moral compass and knows who are ones who actually want peace versus those who teach their children to lust after the blood of elderly Jews and children playing in the streets.
And you keep using the term Gaza ghetto. I don't think you really know what life is like there. You want suffering and poverty? Try Syria. Here's some views of the terrible humanitarian situation in Gaza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxaDmAyt84g
Johnny, such an over simplification of 1948. And the USS Liberty clearly a case of "friendly fire?" And you speak to my misunderstanding of world history and or aid? And where would Israel be without the generosity of me and other US taxpayers? Comparing The Gaza Ghetto to present day Syria? That's like me comparing, oh I don't know, the Warsaw Ghetto with, oh I don't know, hmmm, maybe Aushwitz. Or occupied Paris. And I'm sure if I took the time and really searched hard, I could find a rabbinical Jew or Israeli or Bibi chanting death to Palestinians or Arabs or both. But we both know it's already true so why bother?
