I’m really sorry for you, that we don’t let Hamas kill more citizens. I’ll consider that with the residents of Southern Israel and find out whether they are ready to die in order to make the amount of casualties proportionate and acceptable by you. ok eman?

OH …
then sould israel have used its nuclear weapon too !!!
i ‘ll tell you something they wouldn’t have hesitated to use it but the only problem is that they are living on the same land.
and i ‘d like to remind you that the one who was justifying israel policies by saying that usa would have done the same was you.
actually they proportionally equal if you put in mind the difference in size between usa and israel and the causes of heroshima and iraq and gaza genocide
what are you saying here is this number of victims in iraq and gaza is not impressive enough for me …
is that really what are you trying to say !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Any attempt to equate Hiroshima, Nagasaki, genocide, and the war in Iraq to the current Gaza conflict is nonsensical. After two weeks of modern warfare, 600 out of about 1.5 million people have died, and this is in a region with an average density of about 10,000 persons per square mile. The number of dead INCLUDES combatants.

What for a Great testamoney …
then we can justfy the genocide in gaza by what happend in Heroshima and Baghdad…
As if these two later incidences were right..
No one had ever said that what happend in heroshima or iraq was right or fair…
actually no one ever will , except those who are feeling that killing hunderds and thousands of helpless civilens is the only way to satisfy there sadism and to cover there failure as soldiers in the battel field
I am sorry to say that the American army with his history in vietnam , heroshima and iraq is the worst example to be followed when it comes to fairness in war or even winning.

The Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, explained, “The Israelis…are responding exactly the same way we would.”
———–

The US has responded that way in the past. The difference is that Israel cannot afford to act with a good deal of discretion when it comes to dealing with its neighbors. It has been that way for 60 years. It doesn’t have that luxury. It’s what led to the Six Day War in ‘67 (land grabs), ‘81 bombing of Iraq’s nuclear plant, and other drastic, unpopular measures to assure its own security. Israel is small and isolated, after all. The US, due to its geographical position, has that luxury of discrection, but acts in a cavalier and militant fashion anyway — defending US shores in all foreign countries. ;-)
