Israel-Hamas Thread II

[o_mlly]

I did. You didn't write anything about children. But you posted a picture of some poor kid with an assault rifle. Now what in heaven's name do child soldiers have to do with the current problem? Are you trying to imply something? Let's hear the reason for it.

And this is the kid: Sign the Petition

'Evelyn, from Uganda, was only 10 years old when a militia group pillaged her village, killed her family and took the little girl to be part of their army. Forced to kill or be killed, Evelyn suffered from physical, mental and emotional abuse until she escaped.'

Why use the picture of a physically abused ten year old girl from Uganda in this thread?

You are wrong in your facts.

My post responded not to you but to @essentialsaltes post reporting that many of the innocent killed are children. Apparently, he/she could connect the obvious dots but you could (would?) not.

The image is not of a "physically abused ten year old girl from Uganda" named "Evelyn". Did you think misidentifying the image as such and whining that this image has nothing to do with the current problem would somehow amp up your purely emotional appeal?

Read the truth about the source:

Aljazeera, not known as an Israeli sympathizer, laments the use of children as soldiers.

Now, are soldiers under the age of 19 legitimate targets when in uniform and pointing a loaded AK-47 at an IDF soldier? Answer, Yes.

How many of the reported "child" deaths by Hamas are truly children? Nobody knows, yet.

What's with you accusing others of having flaming heads? Seems a weird obsession.

You've admitted your just a "drive-by" poster in this thread occasionally lobbing a grenade into the thread but not seriously following the arguments, so ...

We've already said goodbye
Since you've got to go
Oh you'd better go now
Go now, Go now
Go now

Then why post a picture of a ten year old?

How old does a person have to be in order to pull a trigger? I was 12 when I fired my first firearm.....which I owned BTW....

The reporting of the palestinians (assuming that it is accurate) counts everyone killed at age 19 and under as children.

This information appears to be incorrect.

The United Nations, as well as Israeli and Palestinian law, define a child as someone under the age of 18, though some Hamas militants are believed to be teenagers.

The PA health ministry said on Tuesday about 70% of Gaza's dead were women and children under 18, but it has released no breakdown of age categories since its Oct. 26 report.

Better still is take into consideration, coming of age.

Around the age of 12 for a girl, 13 for a boy.
that sense begins to kick in.

That's why only at that age does Jewish law consider you responsible for your actions.

No, your post of the image was such an obvious fail I felt no need to address it, knowing that most readers of the thread would see through it.

Gaza experiencing its longest communications blackout, monitoring group says​

The Gaza Strip continues to be largely without internet and cellular connections since a blackout began Thursday evening local time. Cybersecurity monitoring firm NetBlocks called it the “longest sustained telecoms blackout” since the war began.

Israel says it uses social media posts, phone calls and text messages, as well as airdropped leaflets, to alert Gazans to where fighting is and to give evacuation orders — messages that now cannot be sent with cellular and internet lines cut.

Repeated communications outages in Gaza have hindered access to lifesaving health care and impeded aid delivery.

Some truth to this.

No, that’s your interpretation. But please continue with the ad hom as that exposes the paucity of your position.

I stand corrected. You couldn't (wouldn't) connect the obvious dots either.

Emotionally-induced-blindness is thought to be quite transitory, but it seems that is not always the case.

[o_mlly]

No, that’s your interpretation.

Nope. As I wrote, that's not my interpretation, that was your admission.

"I have been in and out of the thread, it's hard to chat casually..." @DaisyDay

Now, I hope this site has an "ignore" button to protect posters from unserious posters.

Yeah, your interpretation does not match my words or intentions.

Now, I hope this site has an "ignore" button to protect posters from unserious posters.

If you don't have the self-control to resist reading posts from posters you dislike, then follow @JosephZ 's instructions.

Lucky you weren't in Gaza when you did it. According to some it seems you'd have been a valid target.

Apparently not. Maybe you should have asked.

Now, are soldiers under the age of 19 legitimate targets...

And posting a picture of a ten year old with a gun is how you indicate that.

Nine Israeli soldiers killed in Gaza City in Hamas ambush attack

The total number of Israeli troops who have been killed in the latest campaign of ground battles in Gaza is 115.

justthenews.com

These soldiers would be alive had Israel blanket-bombed the area, in this case their carefulness to avoid bombing civilians cost Israeli lives. No other country in the world has gone to the extent Israel has to avoid civilian casualties in such a situation. And they do this even though polls show most Gazans were in favor of the massacre.

I would say this is nothing but truth.

Pope speaks out after IDF sniper kills two women inside Gaza church, per Catholic authorities​

An Israeli military sniper shot and killed two women inside the Holy Family Parish in Gaza on Saturday, according to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

The mother and daughter were walking to the Sister’s Convent, the patriarchate said, when gunfire erupted. “One was killed as she tried to carry the other to safety,” it added.

Seven others were also shot and wounded in the attack at the complex, where most Gaza’s Christian families have taken refuge since the start of the war, according to the patriarchate, which oversees Catholic Churches across Cyprus, Jordan, Israel, Gaza and the West Bank.


“No warning was given, no notification was provided,” the statement continued. “They were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the parish, where there are no belligerents.”
