    Sounds like a state that would go buck mad when the powers that be stand up against the zionists.

    But the land grab just announced is still going ahead. The other ear needs a clip.

    A US State Department official described the Israeli announcement as "counterproductive to Israel's stated goal of a negotiated two-state solution with the Palestinians," urging "the government of Israel to reverse this decision."

    "We urge the government of Israel to reverse this decision," a State Department official said in Washington, calling the move "counterproductive" to efforts to achieve a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.

    Arguably with some justification given Egyptian acts and statements, but as someone else has pointed out on this thread, a naval blockade is an act of war
    Interesting. So you agree that Israel effectively declared war on Gaza in 2007.

    If you are asking if the Israeli blockade was an act of war, then yes. If you're asking if Israel effectively declared war with it, no. I have never stated that military operations require some formal declaration before laws of warfare apply, only that a state of conflict exist. Why should this apparently be a surprise to you? The blockade wasn't the start of it, only a continuation of earlier military exchanges. That state of conflict dated to before Sep 2007, it only escalated.

    Hard luck, but I quite specifically used the word "effectively" so it was abundantly clear I was not surprised.

    Weren't we through this before when Kerry said Palestine should engage in peace talks (the usual ones where Israel offer nothing) as if they didn't Israel would be encouraged to steal even more land?

    One doesn't set about invading a nation on a couple of hours' notice. The Arab forces invaded as they realised that the Palestinian forces were not going to win the Palestine/Jewish conflict and that if they wanted to see the Arab League's unanimous rejection of the partition plan and of the creation of the state of Israel, they would have to do it themselves.

    The partition plan was never binding, and Zionist force immediately started expelling Palestinians and grabbing land outside the planned partition area.
    and the Israelis were the only country to invade for the reason they announced at the time: They were fed up with the attacks coming across the border,

    You will find that both side were doing that at the time.....
    concerned about apparent Egyptian planning for an invasion (arguably evidenced by the forward capture of supply points after the fact), and most importantly due to the two Egyptian shipping blockades, particularly the blocking of the Israeli Red Sea port of Eilat. So yes, the Israelis attacked, but it wasn't entirely without cause.

    Wait, so a blockade is a reason for war now? Interesting considering the whole siege of Gaza......
    Arguably with some justification given Egyptian acts and statements, but as someone else has pointed out on this thread, a naval blockade is an act of war, and so the Egyptians were the first country to make such an act by closing the Straits of Tiran, again blocking Eilat. And it's not as if the Israelis hadn't warned them "blockading us will be considered an act of war."

    Yeah, and yet we see very clearly that Israel, when they do it, consider it to be not the case, as do there allies.

    BTW, at this point in history, the 2 sides were attacking each other in a regular basis, and various acts and statements made against one another.

    A convenient excuse for the Arabs who, as some 70 years of history has shown, have never really cared what happens to the Palestinians as long as they can use them as a talking point against Israel. The Arabs didn't want Israel to exist in any way, shape or form, regardless of if the Zionists were beating up on the Palestinians, and were happy to see Israel defeated by force of arms. After their military analysis showed that the Palestinians couldn't do it on their own, -then- they piled in at the first opportunity which wouldn't be an invasion of British land.
    You will find that both side were doing that at the time.....

    Right, so we are agreed that the situation was not exactly peace and roses, both sides were already shooting at each other (Although Israel wasn't blockading any Egyptian ports, so the balance to that time was "Egypt was doing more"). This is somewhat distant from "Evil Israelis invaded peace-loving Egyptians without cause"
    Wait, so a blockade is a reason for war now? Interesting considering the whole siege of Gaza......

    I believe Israel has considered it to be in a state of hostilities with Gaza for nearly the last decade. I'm not sure I see the problem.
    Yeah, and yet we see very clearly that Israel, when they do it, consider it to be not the case, as do there allies.

    Have they actually denied that blockading is an act conducted in time of armed conflict? As far as I know, no peace agreement had been solidified since 2006 and the start of hostilities.
    BTW, at this point in history, the 2 sides were attacking each other in a regular basis, and various acts and statements made against one another.

    I don't understand this Hasbara obsession with calling Palestine British land.

    The British never claimed Palestine was "british land".
    It was a "land under british administration".
    The Brits never legally owned the land. They administered it, having conquered it from the Turks in WWI.
    That was the extent of it.

    Medical personnel claim Israel tested new weapons during attacks on Gaza:

    "Doctors and an ambulance officer believe Israel tested new weapons during its July 8th – August 26th assault on the Gaza Strip.
    Ambulance officer Ibrahim Abu Kas of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society has worked through the last three wars between Israel and Hamas. “In this war, I saw things I never could have imagined,” he says. “The five children from the al-Jaal family in Zeitoun were the strangest thing I ever saw in my life.”
    http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/middle-east/medical-personnel-claim-israel-tested-new-weapons-during-attacks-on-gaza-1.1919645

    if true I wonder what they are and where did they come from.

    Israel Bolstering Legal team ahead of UN Gaza probe:

    AP — A jittery Israeli military is gearing up for what could become its next big battle: dealing with UN investigations that could result in war-crime allegations.

    The army has beefed up its legal staff, is conducting internal investigations of its wartime actions and has prepared a detailed PR campaign of satellite photos and video clips — hoping to persuade the world that its war against Hamas was justified.

After their military analysis showed that the Palestinians couldn't do it on their own, -then- they piled in at the first opportunity which wouldn't be an invasion of British land.

    Why should the Arabs states accept a Europeam colonial state? The entire notion that a bunch Europeans using an extremist take on the Bible had a right to go to Palestine and set up there own state was never going to be welcomed, and why should it have been? They planned to get rid of the Palestinians from the get go. Yes, other Arabs states treatment of Palestinians is appaling, but that doesn't change the facts.Israel started expelling Palestinians which resulted in refugees and the started grabbing land outside the borders of the what was proposed for a Jewish state.

    BTW, Palestine was a mandate and never British land and by the time the Arab states intervened the mandate was over.
    Right, so we are agreed that the situation was not exactly peace and roses, both sides were already shooting at each other (Although Israel wasn't blockading any Egyptian ports, so the balance to that time was "Egypt was doing more"). This is somewhat distant from "Evil Israelis invaded peace-loving Egyptians without cause"

    Its also not a case of peace loving Israel defending itself either. Being a constant aggressor themselves.
    I believe Israel has considered it to be in a state of hostilities with Gaza for nearly the last decade. I'm not sure I see the problem.

    Well your own argument above would apply with Gaza surely right? Surely you see what I am getting at?
    Have they actually denied that blockading is an act conducted in time of armed conflict? As far as I know, no peace agreement had been solidified since 2006 and the start of hostilities.

    Gaza is covered under Oslo as well, BTW, especially now with a unity government. So yes there is an agreement which to fair has been dead for years.

    I think Europeans showing up and stealing land from the natives is very black and white. Sure it gets greyer as the conflict has gone on, but the start of it very black and white.

    Say the north and south sides of Dublin were separate jurisdictions a la Gaza and Israel. Say that families having breakfast down around Nassau Street were having bombs lobbed over on to them pretty regularly. Say you were a Southsider - What would you want your government to do? I'd want mine to go in and obliterate the terrorists. The propaganda around Gaza and Palestine is bonkers (especially here bizarrely). I'm with the Israelis 100%. The terrorists are hidden and shielded by civilians who are then mourned by the liberal media when they're obliterated as collateral damage. The Palestinians would be better served shopping the terrorists instead of shielding them. And to be blunt, if I was an Israeli with enemies all around me (who have attacked a number of times), I prefer to see 10,000 Palestinian civilians blown up by my military if it saved the life of one of my fellow Israelis. That's just life.

    Your not the first poster to use an analogy like this, and it is amazing that no matter how many times, someone post something like this, that you don't incorporate the fact that Gaza is under siege, and that Israel is stealing land in the West Bank on a regular basis, or that the most recent rocket fire from Hamas did not happen until after Israel launched there own air strikes. You deliberately leave all of that out of your analogy, and it is amazing that basically the same argument has been made so many times, despite being so clearly not being an apt analogy at all.

    So your now disgustingly accusing civilians as purposefully acting as Human Shields. Your post is one of the most disgusting posts on here, and the fact that your would rather see 10,000 dead Palestinians civilians shows that you are not better than the terrorist you condemn. Disgusting post and utterly disturbing that not only do you openly support the murder of civilians, you even claim without proof, that they purposefully act as Human Shields.

    yeah. whatever. murdering civilians is just life. i'd say yourself and isis would get on well. the parasitic state of zion are the real terrorists. slaughtering raping civilians, bombing UN facilities. telling lies which are easily debunked, need i go on. frankly, the state of zion is no better then isis or any of these extremist nutters. hamas so called rockets verses a military which wipes out anything it comes into contact with. and the palestinians are terrorists yet the poor little israelies god love them are innocents being attacked by evil terrorists. it would make a good comedy routeen only its actually real.

    yeah. they really are that. oh wait. they aren't. but as "dayz not mudlimz init" they are perfect and can do what they like
    And they're entitled to defend themselves.

    then the palestinians are also entitled to defend themselves. hamas are no angels yes. but israel are not the poor little innocent country they try make out.

    Ha ha ha ha :-) lets see how that looks from the other side (there you are, palestinian happily farming your land, living your life and here come these newcomer Israelis who want your farm, bulldoze your house, and take pot shots at your kids on their way to school... )

    Honestly it next to impossible to tell extremism from parody at times, hence why trolling works so well. I have no way of knowing if your being serious or not. Will leave that one to others.

    Now assuming your being truthful, again with the genocide.
    After 9/11, I advocated the destruction of Kandahar with a thermonuclear device.

    So your no better than Osama, and arguable worse, what with the call for genocide and all.
    There's a storm coming - These ISIS clowns are just the start. We (as in the Western world) should strike first and destroy Islam before it gets the chance to do the same to us.

    So back to genocide. How are you any better than an ISIS supporter exactly? You do realize they probably say the same crap about the West to justify there own extremism.

    Anyway as I said 0 credibility at this point...

    New Palestine cinema comes to Malaysia, Canada and US

    http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/new-palestine-cinema-comes-malaysia-canada-and-us

    "The third Kuala Lumpur Palestine Film Festival launched this weekend, featuring Hany Abu-Assad’s Oscar-nominated thriller Omar (2013), the Palestine-set drama Inch’Allah (2013), Mahdi Fleifel’s acclaimed documentary A World Not Ours (2012) and Yasmine Perni’s documentary The Stones Cry Out (2013), which highlights the voices of Palestinian Christians."

    "Through stop-motion animation, drawings and interviews, directors Amer Shomali and Paul Cowan recreate an astonishing true story from the First Palestinian Intifada: the Israeli army’s pursuit of eighteen cows, whose independent milk production on a Palestinian collective farm was declared “a threat to the national security of the state of Israel.”

    "Terrorist?"

    [Intro:]
    So, We must ask ourselves, What is the dictionary definition of "Terrorism"?
    The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion
    But what is terror?

    According to the dictionary I hold in my hand, Terror, is violent or destructive acts
    Such as bombing committed by groups in order to intimidate a population,
    Or government into granting their demands

    So what's a terrorist?

    [Hook:]
    They're calling me a terrorist
    Like they don't know who the terror is
    When they put it on me, I tell them this
    I'm all about peace and love
    They calling me a terrorist
    Like they don't know who the terror is
    Insulting my intelligence
    Oh how these people judge...

    The 'eejitism' is the swallowing of the media's pro-Palestine agenda and the rampant anti-Israeli sentiment on these pages.

    You watching the same media I am? Israeli spokespeople are well represented on the media, and they imho they tend not to be questioned that well.
    and the rampant anti-Israeli sentiment on these pages.

    More like a anti murdering civilians sentiment....

    It depends what you refer to as a "pro Palestine agenda". For instance, it's a fact that Israel has been colonising outside its own borders since 1967, and running an apartheid state in those areas. Now if you support that, or aren't sufficiently pushed about it to condemn Israel for whatever reason, then yes, you'll see reporting that as part of a "pro-Palestine agenda". However, it's the truth and because it's the truth, it's actual reality you have a problem with, not the media.

    Well that depends on how you perceive the world around you. It could be that you are completely in the wrong or had you considered that?

    Israel - wants a fully Jewish Zionist state and will kill everything it it's way to maitain it and make it bigger.

    To avoid confusion, I just added the word 'Zionist' state there. Because if the Israeli State was founded on the true and peaceable tenets of Judaism, which it isn't. We wouldn't have witnessed their pogroms and frequent bouts of ethnic cleansing throughout the decades.

    Fair correction, I should have implied that the "Jewish" was a guise for "Zionist"!
