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?

Raw, If you think Hamas is committing genocide, Compare it with the recent murdering of Palestinians by Israel in Gaza.

I am sorry, that was just collateral damage. LOL

Isaacs, have a listen to the spiel of spiel of the Zionist Orthodox Rabbi!

Similar to both sides.

both sides in this conflict are pretty disgusting in their own ways ..... however, yesterday on the way up to london, i passed a couple of transits with "pro palestinian" or "free gaza" placards ..... i seriously longed to pull them over to ask if they had voted for Fatah or Hamas .... or even if they were just part of renta-crowd

Fred, collateral damage happens in war. If hamas hadn't been lobbing missile into Israel there wouldn't have been any. Do we have a breakdown of confirmed 'collateral' damage yet? I doubt it.

Rounding up your own countrymen/women/children because they 'might' be allianced with a different political party and then executing them in cold blood is evil, just like the childrens tv programme.

As i've said before, I have nothing to gain by debating this with you except BALANCED debate. I can see it from both sides which you plainly cannot.

That would have been an interesting survey cynic.

especially if i told them i was jewish!

LOL, balls of carbide steel required!

Cynic - surely they'd be able to tell from the hook nose and the horns?

perhaps more likely from the fizzing circular sphere that i was preparing to throw at them - though i suppose that would be deemed to be an over-reaction - lol!

Yes disproportionate.

that was the word .... i couldn't remember - lol!

Dementia huh ... apparently people affected by this should go and pummel a cushion.

good morning lickable one! ..... a bit of serious violence against the opposition also works .... the antidote to that sort of thing is apparently an increase of zinc in the diet

Marmite.

don't go that route - lol!

Maybe interesting to the unblinkered.

War propaganda often rests on the myth of eternal enmity: the current enemy must be portrayed as perennially and irredeemably vile. George Orwell aptly limned this mindset in his novel 1984

Interesting article.

A large stockpile of unexploded weapons has disappeared in Gaza, before United Nations experts were able to dispose of it safely, the BBC has learned.

The explosives, including aircraft bombs and white phosphorus shells, were fired by the Israeli military during its recent offensive in the Gaza Strip.

UN officials said they were urgently trying to establish where the arms had gone and have called for their return.

Israel has accused Hamas of taking the stockpile, which was under Hamas guard.

Perhaps the Israelis are stockpiling Hamas with weapons to keep them going!

I give up, Fred - limned has stretched my linguistic capacities, aptly or otherwise.

peasant oh lickable one (whether choc or marmite!) ..... limned is actually to illustrate (as in illuminate a manuscript), but also to describe .... somewhat arcane to archaic!

Peasant with limited grey cells this afternoon :)

rat-arsed again?
