Will Israel make the same mistake with Hamas that it made with Hezbollah?

[Annie2]

At this point: Go Israel! Be brave, don't hesitate, don't look back!
It's now or never Hamas is disarmed and put out power.
Either diplomatically, or by war. Seems there isn't much choice.

Here's a list of documented Hamas' actions against Israel during the last "cease fire": jewishpolicycenter. org/prr/news-feed. php (remove spaces)

There's absolutely no logic in defending islamists' actions remarking that their missiles have killed so few Israelis! As the Hamas' weapons are (for the moment) inaccurate, and can drop down just anywhere, they constitute a real threat to the civilians - unlike the Israeli precision shells that hit exactly where they are meant to.
Not to forget the fact, that IDF is warning and informing people beforehand of the coming bombings. IDF even called several times to the Hamas leader & family, asking them to leave the building.

Iran is recruiting volunteers for suicide attacks against the Israelis, thousands being enrolled already.
God help Israel. And He will.

Proof of the power of religion is when so many people can unapologetically pick a side here when both sides are clearly to blame. Thankfully that same power is used for good in the world as well but this is an unfortunate, if not a text book example of what happens when religion is used unproductively.

I do not need the Bible to be opposed to terrorism, Craiger.

I very much hope that Palestinians renounce the terrorists and form their own independant nation living peacefully alongside Israel.

For a Christian, you sound like a Muslim or Hamas spokeperson.

I sound like a Palestinian who grew up under Israeli tyranny and who wants his children to be able to grow up in their homeland with out the same oppression and brutalization.

All I can really say is that the Jewish people will fight to preserve a place where we can live as Jews unrestricted by gentile law or tradition (no disrespect meant).

What is the law of Israel? it is a secular state who's laws could not differ further from Judaic conventions.

I understand that Israel can often subjugate the Palestinian people.

'can often'? the very existence of Israel is based on the subjugation of the Palestinian people.

Israel would be well served by opening a refugee camp. Possibly in the West Bank

What is Gaza and the West Bank? They are one giant refugee camp, besieged and controlled by Israeli forces. In fact an interment or prison camp more accurately reflects the state of Gaza.

Oh yes. The "all-powerful, infallible Pope".

Save it.
She can believe what she wants to believe.

Oh, and you know where Hamas can go?

Oops. Can't say that.

It's no different than her saying she is Catholic but doesn't believe in the Pope.

The Catholic Church has been one of the strongest voices in support for the Palestinian people and against Israeli tyranny. The Church has a long history of supporting the oppressed, the brutalized and the suffering.... just as Christ himself did. The Catholic Church opposes Israel because it opposes the opressors.

Just as Christ was oppressed in the holy land by the jew, Christians today remain oppressed int he holy land by the Zionist. This is evident to any Christian and their support for the end of oppression against the Christians (and all people) of Palestine should not even be an issue.

It is really only in America that this Protestant-Zionist link has gained such popularity, mainly due to the massive Jewish lobby in America that has indoctrinated these Protestant leaders with money and propaganda to support Zionism, which their followers are all to willing to follow suit in.

Iran also just warned Israel against a ground assault. Israel won't listen. They're sick of this. Gaza has been hot spot for years now. First the 'tactical withdrawal' of all Israeli Forces. Now Hamas has fortified themselves in Gaza. And hiding behind innocent civilians.

I wonder how Israelis will feel when it is Iranian bombs falling on their cities....

Yet you unconditionally support Israeli terrorism..... maybe if the Palestinians were white....
