Some Time Ago I Mentioned Here In Ab That The Israelis...

[sandyRoe]

Would probably consider a ratio of 10:1 in deaths to settle their blood debt with the Palestinians.  I thought about 20,000 deaths would satisfy them.

The latest figure stands at over 7,000.  Will the massacre of the innocents continue until my prediction is fulfilled?

I fear it will as nobody is asking them to stay their hand.

There may have been a mistaken belief that there would be the usual backing down at the last moment on the part of Hamas.

You live, you learn.

[ToraToraTora]

Well Israel are just the cop in death by cop. Hamas did all the killing. 1000-1 is not enough for these savages in my opinion.

doug: "There may have been a mistaken belief that there would be the usual backing down at the last moment on the part of Hamas." - perlease, back down doesn't come into it they are being exterminated like the vermin they are. We should thank Israel for clearing this carp up.

[douglas9401]

The belief on the part of Hamas, not the backing down.

[ToraToraTora]

sandy: "Would probably consider a ratio of 10:1 in deaths to settle their blood debt with the Palestinians" - you seriously think the numbers have any relevance? You are an idiot.

[anneasquith]

And you ttt are rude, with no social graces .

[Countrylover]

Bravo Anne  - seconded.

[Countrylover]

Oh dear, I've just broken my promise on another thread!

[david small]

TTT. Your vehement and vitriolic response to sandRoe's post belies your (normal) sic politeness upon emotional issues.

[royfromaus]

Does your interest come from your concern for the Palestinians or your hate for Israelis?

[sandyRoe]

I think it comes from a dislike of injustice.

[royfromaus]

Yeah, I didn't think you were that bothered about innocent people being killed.

[youngmafbog]

It comes from being a naive commie, like the others.

Numbers have nothing to do with it, why on earth do you think it has.

The very clearly stated object is to eliminate Hamas.  And I for one dont have a problem with that so if there are 5,000 Hamas terrorists then the number will be 5,000.

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

The war isn't Israel v Palestine, as you know.  It's Hamas v Israel, and, as you know, Hamas work by embedding themselves in the civilian population.  Israel give warnings and tell civilians to evacuate before attacking Hamas targets.  Its not a game, and certainly not a numbers game.  

t may be 'natural' but completely wrong.  This is what we are constantly told- "Look how many Gazans were killed and how few Israelis"- well, look at how many German civillians were killed and how fewer British civilians in WW2- Does that make the Germans right in WW2?  Such is the facile moral thinking that pervades our world.

The media gives you a jaundiced view of the world. Gaza starts a war to kill as many Israelis as possible. And all you see on the BBC and Sky News is dead Gazans.  I shudder to think if in World War II, the same media covered World War II, you would have seen far more dead German civilians than dead British civilians. But it takes a very, very frail moral mind to believe that you determine right and wrong by  the number of dead.

"nobody is asking them to stay their hand."  Erm, apart from just about every Muslim nation on earth, as we'd expect.

[Sinead_O]

Hazi Hammenuhoth makes a very good point I think- this is nothing to do with numbers, sandy, it's about defeating Hamas.  That is when justice will prevail and not before.

[sandyRoe]

The opinions of Muslim nations wouldn't carry much weight in the Knesset.

The ones that might matter are conspicuous by their silence.

[Stableford]

Ah, so when you say "nobody" is asking them to stay their hand, you mean, a select few aren't- is that your point here?

[sandyRoe]

Yes.  Nobody of consequence is asking them not to continue wading through the blood of innocents.

[ToraToraTora]

14:43, 14:50, 154:57 so more supporters of Hamas? At least Sandy is honest about his support for the baby decappers.
