i just caught a live update on sky news 24. heart breaking pictures, God help these poor people.........

[Brenden]

Did we not bomb Dresden after 76 consecutive nights of Germany bombing London - what on earth do people expect - countries to just roll over and ignore it, I'm afraid that is what war is all about.

[TAFFWILLIAMS]

Anne, you have got it one. In my service career I soon found out there are invariably 3 sided to a story - person A's version, person B's version and the truth which invariably is somewhere in between!!

[Baldric]

Or the alternative
///As an ex-military guy may I suggest there are always 2 sides to the story///

[keyplus90]

2 sides of the story???????? What can you tell us about the other side then?

[naomi24]

I said on another thread that, speaking from experience, Israel is a sad place - and it is. That was met with objection, albeit unqualified - but seriously, looking at this, who in their right mind can deny it? I despair of that pathetic scrap of land. Poor people - all of them.

My Asian shop owner says that no one is interested in Palestine because eof the Malaysian crash in Ukraine

The kill ratio seems to be 10-1 - ten civilians for every fighter - as high for example as Vietnam

[anotheoldgit]

Seems strange that both the UK and the US seem rather slow in condemning this slaughter, yet they are so quick to condemn Russia over the slaughter in the Ukraine, and it is not yet proven that Russia had anything to do with the killings of the innocent airliner passengers.

90,000–166,000 killed in Hiroshima

39,000–80,000 killed in Nagasaki

Total: 129,000–246,000+ killed

Poor people - all of them - Every Israeli i have ever met has been full of life and a joy to know. They party hard, I don't see them as sad.

why are you giving me those figures ?

[whirlyhurly]

What a hapless existence for the Gaza inhabitants, with their water & electricity turned on and off at the behest of the Israelis.

[anotheoldgit]

DrFilth

Well the Dresden bombing is always banded about, I just though that those figures might put things into perspective.

I could have also put the figures of innocent men, women and children who were killed during the Blitz.

[anneasquith]

I can only remark on what I see in the media. but, it would appear Israel has ' gone too far '' this time , ie barak Obama, john Kerry. ban ki moon *sp..it would appear have voiced concerns .

[whirlyhurly]

These aggressive Israelis are literally getting away with murder, it's a slaughter of the innocents, a decimation.

[McMouse]

Can't think of a single sovereign state that would endure daily rocket attacks without retaliation. There was a cease fire and Hama broke it.

[DrFilth]

aog i put the figures of the dresden raids because of sqad posting about it and in the past the high figures have always been given on this site which are false

please note i am NOT saying sqad has used these high figures just pointing out that the lower figures have been released by the germans

[DrFilth]

please note when i used caps for not i am not shouting just making sure that you see i am NOT blaming sqad

[Ric.ror]

'These aggressive Israelis are literally getting away with murder, it's a slaughter of the innocents, a decimation'

Do you seriously think for a moment that if Hammas had the capability they would not do exactly the same to Isreal

[Ric.ror]

Opps sorry - Israel

// The Israelis tend to go for retribution x 10. So a bunch of other innocent people will die because of this. It's a cycle. //

Sadly my prediction of 3 weeks ago is now played out.

Hundreds of fathers, Sons, and brothers now have dead family to avenge Israel for. And they will.
