Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

he needs the bottle of "sauce" to help wash down all the pies he has in that bag

Hils, ;-) you know my spelling is terrible,;-)its my keyboard , not me honest;-)
but he actually looks ok in that pic gazza ,
but ive seen him with my own eyes,
hes a fruit n nut case;-)

cynic give it up, Gaza is yesterdays news rather like Northern Ireland became most ordinary people aren't interested in this squabble over a piece of real estate...... move on.

who rattled your cage???? ..... many many (un)thinking people are more than interested in how this disaster in Gaza pans out ..... like it or not, the conflict over that "piece of real estate" has the potential of leading to a far wider conflagration than (totally unimportant) Ireland.

cynic only if people like you continue to "pour fuel on the fire".

try not to be such an arsehole, though i dare say you may find that difficult!
you talk such total and utter crap .... as if even Fred's rabid outpourings could have even an atom of effect on what goes on in the world

cynic resorting to abuse does not strengthen your argument, please be a little more adult.

i could have phrased it differently, but i deliberately chose not to and the sentiment would have been the same in any case

cynic we are sorry we struck a nerve and hope you recover soon.

G and M,

Just in case you missed this:

I personally don't think Gaza is yesterdays news. I think this 'war' will be raging long after i'm pushing up daisies and i'm not that old!

Considering it will be affecting me for the rest of my life, I remain interested in it.

Carry on cynic but if the truth be told then truth is generally a proven fact. I understand your version of truth but I don't consider myself knowing anwhere near the truth. Think that makes sense, Struth time for a drink.

along those lines, but nuff said - lol! ..... i started trying to point out merely that truth is often or even usually as perceived, which is ceratinly not the same as actuality - whatever that may be

by the way, i initially thought halifax was prattling about Gazza and not Gaza!

One thing that stands out from your latest link, Fred, is the, noticeably lacking credentials of any of those who are claiming fact Ging, HRW etc. The medical staff on the other hand only consider what they see to be one option of many.

cynic, I feel such a fool, theres me waffling about gaza when the real story is gazza. :)

cynic trying to point out the stupidity of helping to perpetuate this pointless conflict is not "prattling", eventually common sense will prevail and the israelis and palestinians will be obliged to settle. Keep taking the tablets!

yawn!

Cynic, aw bless are you tired?
im sure Fred will tuck you in and give you a goodnight kiss if you ask nicely,
If he can drag himself away from the crappy bbc news that is,

sure am .... abused myself last night!

Halifax, You are writing common sense. Many on this board are unable to or don't want to recognise it.

Rather than sensible rebuttals they find it necessary to become abusive.



Suggest viewing listening the whole of below

and making you own deductions.

Fred:

You said Rather than sensible rebuttals they find it necessary to become abusive.

You have had thousands of words of sensible rebuttals but you continue to spout your biased, blinkered and prejudiced view of events in Gaza.

It's hardly surprising if some people lose the rag with you. But then, I strongly suspect that that's what turns you on. It is your raison d'etre.

The situation in the middle east cannot be dismissed as simply a land dispute. For the Palestinians it's a land dispute, for israelis it's survival.

Agree with Halifax - eventually this will have to be settled by debate. In the meantime I have to agree with a statement Netanyahu made a few years back:

"If the Palestinians abandoned their arms there would be no more bloodshed. If the Israelis abandoned their arms there would be no more Israel."
