sand niggers looking to a nigga... what the..

Hamas seeks to import increasingly sophisticated weaponry with the ultimate goal of hitting central Israel--Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport in particular. Israel had to act to prevent Hamas from amassing advanced weaponry and to stop the rocket attacks. And your side wants to keep amassing arms so they can complete the ethnic cleansing they've been after for 100 years. So I guess Israel will have to continue to speak to Hamas in the only language Hamas understands.

So if you know that Hams is firing no rockets, then how is it you claim "Now, these terrorist psychos are hitting Ben Gurion Airport from Gaza".

Are you purposefully lying or are you just very confused?

[electango]

Now they aren't firing rockets. And why? Because Israel spoke to them in the only language they understand. It's unfortunate, but it's reality. And while the Muslim Supremacists of Hamas claim to be defending the Palestinian people, they had not beforehand built one single bomb shelter for the Palestinian people. Why? Because Hamas wanted civilian Palestinian deaths so they could garner sympathy and "legitimacy" from foreigners. And you call the Israelis sick.

[oldjoe5]

Actually the "terrorist psychos" are not firing any rockets at all, nevermind hitting Ben Gurion airport.

But why let the facts get in the way of a good rant?

[oldjoe5]

Oh wait.

It's Israel that does all those things, not muslims. I forgot

[electango]

Upgrading from Qassam rockets to the Katyusha rockets of Hezbollah, for instance. Now, these terrorist psychos are hitting Ben Gurion Airport from Gaza and, of course, you're after ethnic cleansing so you'd see that as an improvement. But at least you now see why that upgrade was not going to be allowed to happen and why Israel was going to do whatever it had to do to stop those "harmless" rocket attacks. Any alleged "nukes" have nothing to do with Gaza.

[electango]

Not true. They move into neighborhoods and those neighborhoods become unsafe for non Muslims to go into. Then they start up with rioting, burning cars and trains because things aren't handed to them on silver platters. Then they start up with the demands for Islamic law to be enforced for Muslims. And the Christians who have lived in those nations for thousands of years (the indigenous people)--they don't want these Muslims moving in to their countries. But who cares, right?

[oldjoe5]

Upgrading? 18 dead from rockets in nearly 9 years -- including none since January...hardly seems a significant upgrading.

How many nukes does gaza have? How about Israel? How many times has the IAEA been allowed into Israel to inspect their nukes?

[oldjoe5]

Because they aren't taking over the European governments and attacking their neighbors in order to increase their land holdings. Because they are not insisting that their neighbors recognize them as a Muslim State. Because they are not bribinh/extorting the US congress to do their bidding.
