HS - Israel makes incursions and bulldozes down all the produce back to a good distance from the border

answer - quite right too, as such farming creates an obvious and serious security risk

Hamas is a real threat to the world.

Why not clear the land on the Israeli side of the border if they want a clear expanse instead of damaging someone else's land.

hamas per se is not, but the outsiders who back it certainly are - e.g. iran and quite probably north korea and perhaps china

yawn H/S ..... please don't start on your customary rant; it's too boring for words . .... israel do not need to clear land on their side of the border for they are scarcely a security threat to themselves!

HAY .so your answer is to let hamas kill the gaza people so be it .
to the people of gaza you reap what you sow .
you should never be given food it is a waste feeding the dead

Israel's excuse for shooting 7 people today is that they were heading towards the border and they thought that they might be going to demonstrate. Isn't that the sign of a despotic regime. Not only do they fire live rounds at possible demonstrators, but they do it and kill people across the border in someone else's territory.

Clip from Question Time last night putting Gaza's case. Owen Jones got a big cheer and support from the audience. Good to see the public are not fooled by Israel and the US.

owever, we must recognize that Hamas and its terrorist partners bear responsibility for instigating the latest round of this conflict and need to refrain from further rocket and terrorist attacks. Israel exercised its inherent right to self-defense only after weeks of unprovoked attacks against civilian targets. Having picked a fight like a playground bully, Hamas cannot now credibly claim to be a victim.
Israel, like the United States, places a premium on avoiding collateral damage and has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on sophisticated weaponry to minimize to the greatest extent possible civilian casualties.

Eric Cantor
Hamas intentionally launches unguided rockets into densely populated areas to cause wanton destruction and kill as many innocents as possible. Hamas exploits their own citizens as human shields, locating rocket stockpiles in population centers, hopeful that images of dead Palestinians will rally the world to their extremist cause.
It is important to understand how this conflict started and how responsibly Israel has behaved, but also how future conflicts with Hamas can be prevented.

The most recent conflict was clearly the fault of Israel. They have already broken the terms of the new ceasfire as was to be expected, wih a new exchange of violence very soon.

are hamas sitting on their hands?

are you sure whatever it is you are complaining about is actually true and in any case, is not just an isolated incident - almost inevitable?

how can you be so sure that hamas did not make the first move?

end HAY is a NUTTER

at least Radio 4 "From our own correspondent" is about as unbiased as one could realistically expect ..... i'm afraid i only caught the last bit of the report from Gaza, but it certainly made pretty nasty listening and highlighted the disproportionate casualties suffered in Gaza, a great many of them civilians and children, relative to the very small handful of israelis

the total lack of regard by either side for the suffering they cause or inflict upon the innocent is totally sickening, but i am afraid there is no end in sight while the idealogues and zealots in both combatants camps are alowed to rule the roost

I see the world as a new GOD is name is MURSI OF EGYPT
