Israel broke the truce, not Hamas

http://bbsnews.net/article.php/20090101212318310
the Israeli assault began on Nov. 4, when Israel broke the truce that Hamas had observed for several months. Israel then blocked food supplies delivered by the United Nations Relief Works and World Food Program. It cut off diesel fuel used to run Gazas power station. It banned journalists and aid workers from entering Gaza. The U.N. World Food Program called the situation in Gaza appalling and said that many basic food items are no longer available on the market.

All this is being carried out by a modern military against a population with no capacity to resist.

Truce means cessation of all acts of violence upto and including the cessation of arms smuggling and plotting more ways of causing mass casualty. Israeli spies know what the HAMAS is upto and are right in taking appropriate measures to stop these killers. Besides, what makes an armed group that brutally kills opponents an elected party?Stop this sappy drivel about children being killed and civilians being caught in cross-fire and tell your terrorist friends to not bite more than they can chew.

re-supplying yourself with arms is not a violation of the truce. Israel gets constant shipments of weapons from the US, which they use for their daily terrorism.

what about the 3000 rokets fired in the last year jackass israel nneds to kick your asses

Israel is the country brutally occupying Palestine, stealing land and launching much deadlier rockets. Hamas launches at most one crude rocket in retaliation for every 10 or 20 shells Israel launches onto Palestine. Hamas rockets have killed very few people, unlike Israeli ones. If the US or Israel experienced a small fraction of what they regularly do to others, they would feel justified in not only launching a few crude rockets -- but in nuking countries. That reveals extreme hypocrisy

JERUSALEM — Israel has opened its border crossings with the Gaza Strip after closing them once again because of Palestinian rocket fire

Israel and Gaza militants reached a truce agreement on June 19. Under the deal, Israel agreed to reopen the crossings to allow much-needed goods into Gaza

But since then, militants have repeatedly launched rockets into Israel and Israel has shut the crossings in response.

From The Huffington Post. Not a exactly a right wing blog

As antiwar[dot]com has pointed out, the Huffington Post is "Israeli occupied territory". In fact, the Liberals are the most pro-Israel of all. Most members of aipac and adl are liberals. Notice that the paragraph you quote contains no dates or facts, just some general and typical statements from the idf. That Israel broke the cease-fire by killing six Palestinians is uncontroversial. That you're not convinced even after the kind of evidence I've shown shows a deep level of indoctrination.

Watch the video "CNN Confirms Israel Broke Ceasefire First". This guy is telling the truth.

As long as a situation as complicated as this is greeted with BS cheerleading nothing will be acomplished, either make a reasoned statement or go home, we dont have time for garbage like this.

""Once again, Israel's violent responses, even if there is justification for them, exceed all proportion and cross every red line of humaneness, morality, international law and wisdom. ... What began in Gaza is a war crime and the foolishness of a country."

Idiots...hamas is a terrorist organization. They are lucky we don't take out every one of their leaders....do you people really think we can't? You think we don't have the ability? If you think so....your ignorant. As many as Hamas must die. You call for my death...I will hand you yours.

@jrk81 the truth hurts zionist ;D

DOWN WITH ISRAEL

[LSRochon]

Great Post.!

[phornuphto]

Great video. See also Finkelstein's debate with Indyk where Indyk was caught lying about who broke the truce.

[Zassasa]

hamas was elected in an democratic election. they are a real political party, but they are also terrorists. and you say "Besides, what makes an armed group that brutally kills opponents an elected party?" the american government kills a lot of people, so does the brittish and all other nation involved in the iraq war. almost everynation on the world runned by a political party kills people.

although i do not in any way defend hamas. israel and hamas = sam shit different names.

[mikontisot]

Israel also treats its Christians as second class citizens, wake up America!

[ibitedou]

"Israel is the country brutally occupying Palestine"- with this said, responding to any other claims made by you is superfluous.

you yebber occupation, justify retaliation and whinge at a well deserved response.

Fact is arabs never bothered build a state, beacuse they were/are busy wanting more.

The land was partitioned into an arab state and a minor jewish state (jews comprised apx. 1/3 of the population). In a repeated attempts to gain control over all land, arabs have lost probable cause.

[Kabloooy]

There was no cease fire. Hamas never stopped firing bullets or rockets.

You only hear of fighting when Israel responds to attacks.

The only way there will be any peace in that region is for Israel to totally drive Muslims out of their land.

It's obvious that the Muslims in that region will never allow peace.

im just going to say that the 2nd newspaper in the 1st minute says ''exchange of fire'' that means it is 2 way and does not say who fired first only that 6 palistinians were killed.
