Lies.
Shack sounds like a Zionist bot, endless nonsensical word salad about victimhood.
Not really.
Before the invasion, HAMAS controlled Gaza absolutely - including all aspects of education and the justice system - and handed out public "street justice" to anyone it didn't like. There are videos of beatings and tortures of non conformists. Under those circumstances, anyone who wanted to do well and get ahead, signed on for HAMAS.
You could be quietly non aligned, I guess. As long as you were very, very, very fucking quiet about it. But you couldn't oppose HAMAS. Or you would die.
Under those circumstances, HAMAS recruited fully and happily anyone who wanted to get ahead. And the education system - which was all about jihad and killing Jews - supported everything HAMAS did and wanted.
You have to stop thinking of Gaza as a western type country.
Kinda difficult to avoid civilians when HAMAS strongpoints are in schools and hospitals.
What's Israel supposed to do?...... Charge HAMAS machine gun nests with pointy sticks?
Any competent commander is going to save his men's lives and call in an airstrike or artillery.
Is that Ritter, the convicted pedophile who ran to Russia to avoid jail and now lies for Putin as a full time occupation??.....
Oh my goodness, it is!!!!
Lesson #1 - Russia sows dissension in the west whenever it can find dumb westerners to believe Putin's horseshit. And Russia selects wedge issues like Gaza to exploit and run with.
1 of the truly sad horseshit things in this thread is how WELL KNOWN LONG TIME PUTIN INTERNET SHILLS WHO HAVE BEEN OUTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR A DECADE - have now all suddenly come out as pro HAMAS and then you and Frankie and Klattie re post their lies.
I point this out again and again. There are wiki articles on how corrupt, dishonest and vile many of these "spokespersons" are - Hinckley, Max Blumenthal, Ritter - all totally discredited from YEARS AGO - WELL BEFORE THE GAZA INVASION.
These vile lying turds are just dragged out again whenever Putin wants to create division and given podiums and then silly idiots believe and re post them.

As soon as someone starts using fonts of different sizes and colors you know they are on thin ice.
Scott Ritter did not run to Russia to avoid jail. He, in fact, served his sentence in an American prison and remains a resident of the US.
You sound crazier and crazier, Shazi.
Now you are arguing that the UN thinks Israel is smart for committing genocide two days after they issued a report declaring Israel is committing genocide.
Then you repeat that really stupid lie about your personal feelies that you think all Israeli Jews are genocidal zionists so therefore everyone else must too.
Tell us why you think Israel is smart for this again.
Gaza is part of the Occupied Territories of Palestine.
It is not yet a country though its recognized by the UN and the UN and ICJ ordered Israel to end their occupation within a year and pay restitution.
Your hate filled rant about how evil you think Hamas is does not justify the illegal occupation, apartheid and genocide.
All it does is confirm your support based on what is clearly your own racist views of Palestinians.
Competent commanders don't target civilians.
UN count of Gaza war finds 70% of known victims are women, children
I'll take that as a representation of reality rather than some of the shit flying around here.Competent commanders don't target civilians.
UN count of Gaza war finds 70% of known victims are women, children
No, I keep cornering you and you don't like it so you say that I'm crazy. Give us a percentage as nothing more than a guestimate. There is no actual right or wrong answer. The ONLY wrong thing for you is to avoid telling us your opinion. It just shows cowardice to not be able to admit your feelings.
No I'm not. That's stupid. If The UNGA thought that Israel committed genocide they would have passed a resolution saying such. Israel is smart for not stepping over the UNGA boundaries.
Clearly a lie and a ridiculous one at that. Show the post where I said that and the post # in the thread in which it appeared. Time to run away or lie or deflect.
I just did.
