Israel’s apologists really need a rude awakening. It has absolutely nothing to do with a crack-pot obsession with the ‘Zionist entity’ as you so like to insist, which reveals if anything your own obsession. The fact is - and you can parrot the IDF’s reports until you are blue in the face (virtually every single one of your retorts is simply factually incorrect - you should really read Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch reports - but I guess you probably think they’re only really anti-Semites hellbent on the destruction of world Jewry? Yawn yawn!) - that the Israeli state is occupying the West Bank and Gaza, which has systematically uprooted the indigenous population in favour of a policy of conquest and expansion (Ben-Gurion has reams of quotes in which unabahedly admits this). Colonization, bantustanization and conquest - this is what is at issue - not Israel’s existence. And please dump the Manichean outlook - it only shows that those whom defend US or
Israeli policy come what may (and I am not lumping these two nations together in an inextricable union - the so-called ’special relationship’ is largely a consequence of prudential considerations) have completely detached analysis and action - Cheney’s so-called 1% doctrine.

But I can tell yours!
Israel withdrew, one would expect a reciprocal gesture. Instead, the
response was “Look we defeated them” and piling with more attacks.
The cutting off of taxes and bloackade did not follow the withdrawal,
but instead followed the election of Hamas. By electing a group committed
to the extermination of the zionist entity, the voters put an end
to the fiction that there are the common people, who only want peace,
and a few nasties who carry out terrorist acts. After decades
indoctrination by the PLO, Hamas, et al, the people left there appear
to want nothing but more violence. They regularly parade their
children with their toy bomb belts and guns, and talk about how they
aspire for their martyrdom, for one set of cameras, so I don’t take
their lamentation for the other audience as being very sincere. The
Israeli shelling of Gaza follows the launching of missiles from
Gaza into Israel. The killing of the family on the beach happened,
after the shelling stopped, there was no crater (expected whereever
an artillery shell explodes) and Hamas made the hospitals remove all
the shrapnel from the victims before they were handed over to Israeli
hospitals. So they are obviously lying about what happened.
Why are you? Do you live in Gaza? Why aren’t you writing about the
violence in Sri Lanka or southern Thailand? Is because there isn’t
a Zionist entity involved? Isn’t that the common thread here? There
is violence in many places, but when violence can be blamed on the
Zionist entity and the USA, it leads certain types to parrot the
terrorists’ agitprop to this list.
