Almost everything you have typed and submitted is false. It's quite incredible that any one person can be so misinformed and/or deluded.
Sunk - “In response to a rocket fired on the 15th April which landed harmlessly in an empty field, Israel have killed hundreds of people, demolished thousands of buildings and cause $ millions in damage. That is NOT proportionate.”
Provide your source and context please. Otherwise your statement is simply empty rhetoric.
Sunk - “Before the present conflict 2,500 rockets had been fired over a ten year period, not tens of thousands. Admittedly that is 2,500 too many, but lying about the number just means you are distorting the facts. And targeted is a bit of a misnomer. They don’t have a sophisticated guidance system they are point-and-shoot which is why they cause little damage. I am sure the Palestinian Muslims hate Israel. But it is not blind anti semitism and hatred of Jews. The fact they have had their land, country, religion and culture supplanted by European migrants is their main grudge.”
Where do I start with that drivel? That's just a whole load of BS from start to finish.
1. In the latest conflict lasting around one week, Hamas have launched approx. 35,000 rockets into Israel, indiscriminately targeting civilians.
2. You're right in saying that Hamas don't have the technology to specifically target strategic installations – so they indiscriminately fire them into generally populated areas;
3. “The fact they have had their land, country, religion and culture supplanted by European migrants is their main grudge.” - The lands were NEVER Muslim lands. They have been Jewish lands for centuries. Going back to Egyptian times (circa, 2500 BC), they were Jewish lands. But because Mohammed and his motley crew of murderers and thieves stole those Jewish lands at the point of a sword in circa 800 AD, the Islamic world now think that those lands are theirs in-perpetuity.
