Who Israel fights: Hamas using Children as human shields in Gaza

 Hamas on a regular basis, to grab international sympathy from Israeli bombing run, uses civilians in buildings, or fires from buildings housing civilians.

Innocent people thus become pawns in Hamas conflict with Israel. This is the face of the enemy that Israel faces:

The same group that has us believe that it did no aggressive moves to provoke the onslaught, regularly abuses and indoctrinates children for its sick ends. This is the group that so many on this site are defending:

Have a good look at the kind of people that Israel fights, the ones that use, manipulate then hide BEHIND children,

Of course you advise something. Because you can't debate me.

 Instead of going crazy over a bunch of pictures, realize that Israel didn't spontaneously attack Gaza.

They tolerated rocket attacks for 6 years which never ended. In 2005 Israel withdrew from Gaza.  Hamas took over the Gaza strip from Fatah, killing many of its fellow Palestinians, then started firing more rockets at Israel.  

What's happening now is the answer to a long time of attacks and provocations by Hamas and hopefully will lead to the end of the fighting.  Peace is very easy: Hamas should stop its rocket fire on Israeli towns.

Be so kind and don't treat me like a fool that doesn't know what he's talking about.

If Hamas wanted the blocade on Gaza lifted, it should have stoppd firing rockets and pledging to destroy Israel. 

It take 2 sides to make peace.

I am really sorry for the innocent women and children killed in this war. I wish it didn't happen, but its a war and these things happen often by accident. There is not 1 war in history where no innocent people were killed.

The difference between Hamas and Israel though is, Hamas targets civilians, Israel does not.

I don't care for these details even if Hamas  tolerated rocket attacks for 1000 year this is their country that's right  !

ok where is the power of Israel after 19 day of war they until now fail they just kill children and punish them by using illigal phosphor why they didn't go to Hamas and kill them instead of kill innocence ?

It may sound like I'm arrogant, but imagine having to answer angry. hateful people with the same answers over and over again. Its frustration.

Whether you wish to acept it or not, there are two peoples living on the same terrirtory. Both peoples, Jew and Palestinian, will have to come to an agreement for there to be peace.

Hamas firing rockets at Israeli civilians doesn't help anyone.

That's not true. Yes, many women and children have unfortunately been killed in the crossfire, but how many Hamas militants, Hamas rockets and Hamas bases have been destroyed? About 500 militants are now dead and the rocket fire has been cut in half. 

I don't see how Hamas is winning so far…

Just because Irael has better weapons doesn't mean that they started the conflict.  Hamas has risked the lives of the people in Gaza which they were supposed to b helping.  Hamas chose to spend millions on buying rockets to attack Israel, rather than on food and medicine for its people. They're violent and irresonsable madmen who kiled thousands of their fellow Palestinians when they took over Gaza from their rivals in the Fatah movement in 2007.  

I'm afraid it seems like you're unaware of the full story.

Well, whether ot not you 'believe' me, I'm asking only that you at least listen to both sides, instead of going crazy and insulting me.

 It wasn't clear in the beginning but its now come out that Israel ay have used White Phosphrous. But its used by Israel as a flare, not as a weapon.  Perhaps some Palestinians got burnt when they were fired, but they're not being used as direct weapons.

 

Israel may hit civilians by accident, it is of course hard not to hit some civilians in a place of 1.5 million people, but it was never on purpose. Israel has nothing to gain from hurting civilians instead of Hamas, and every time it does happen, the world criticizes them for it.

Hamas fires indiscriminate rockets at civilian areas and has done for a while. The only targets they could possibly hit with Kassam rockets are Israeli houses. Hamas also has used suicide bombings in Israeli schoolbuses and cafes.   

You may not like civilians being hurt, but there's a clear difference between how both sides go about waging war.

Well, simply put, if you have such a one-sided view of the problem, don't expect me to change your mind.

The story of this conflict is simple and is similar to every other war between Israel and its enenmies: 

Israel was attacked, and Israel defended itself, just like any other country or people would.

 

Given your poor responses, maybe I'm wasting my time. If you want to shout opinions, there are plenty of other places to go. I know my facts, and have used them accordingly, I think its probably you that needs to 'wake up' and maybe educate yourself more on the situation.
