Israel is destroying Gaza - Chilling footage of Israel destroying town in Gaza in less than an hour has been filmed. Footage like this is not normally seen from this angle.

Note to the Hosts: I'm assuming that the current news exception applies in this forum, just as in GD? If not, I apologize and will understand if you have to lock it. I hope the video is ok in here though.

1. You do not revolt against brutal occupation

Or this is what happens.

[msongs]

2. at the battle of Jericho (old testament) the Israelites killed all the women and kids after the wall

came down.

[EEO]

3. The Jews lost their claim to that region in the second century when the Romans...

... grew tired of their incessant rebellions and expelled them from their own homeland (oh, the irony). To just give Palestine to the Jews - who lost independent control of the region when Julius Caesar was alive - was and remains absurd. And that is regardless of what happened during the Holocaust, which was terrible but does not justify victimizing another population already living in Palestine.

4. That's the way I see it too.

WhatEVER they suffered in the holocaust does not afford them justification for what's going on now.

5. I concur - n/t

15. Yes...

... "History never repeats, but sometimes it rhymes". - Professor Duane Matz, Augustana College, Sioux Falls

What I was taught by one of my college history professors. Now go back and read what EEO posted. Get it?

6. Shocking.

Another year of that and there won't be anything left to call Palestine.

7. They are erasing the Palestinians! The Israeli's are making it unlivable and unable to be rebuilt by

these poor people. No electricity, foul water, no homes, businesses, schools, or in many cases, people. This is not about Hamas anymore. This is about a "final solution" of getting rid of a people no one seemed to care much about. Where will these people that are left go to? Israel will probably get aid from us to rebuild the area for themselves once the dust settles, literally and figuratively.
Very sad.

[Amonester]

8. I boycott. The rest of the world boycotts.

What else can we do, the Appartheidists won't let anyone bring any help to civilians in Gaza.

BTW, the Israeli soldier: not abducted, but killed before all that destruction to have him back.

9. Our US Tax Dollars are paying for this humanitarian atrocity, yes???

All because of Washington's hardcore fetish with End Times/Armageddon and the far rightwing fantasy that Israel is Ground Zero for Jesus to come back and take the Bible thumpers to heaven.

Bad!

10. If the Militant groups terrorizing Israel left Civilian Populated areas

this wouldn't happen.

Just like Sadam, the theocrats calling for a Religious nation to be formed on the ashes of other Vibrant and quite populated nations were proven to hide their missiles in schools and most likely hospitals"Those allegations may be true – last week the UN agency for Palestinian refugees announced it had found 20 missiles being stored at a vacant school in Gaza. If Hamas is hiding missiles in schools, why not in hospitals?"

The footage you provided only shows Israel retaliating for Missiles raining down on it's land, Why not show pictures of the Radicals firing Missiles at Israel as well?

11. Well the post title suggests this might be a one sided post.

You could feel free to link to the type of videos you mention...

[abovesobelow]

12. Unfortunately, I felt the poster should know their representation is one sided.

I didn't get the feeling they were aware of this fact.

[Agschmid]

13. Fair enough.

[PotatoChip]

14. I just used the video's title.

Although to be fair, my sympathies do rest with the Palestinian civilians.

I don't like Hamas, and think that it is very unfortunate that they were elected. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the people themselves always agreed with them. At least not all of them. Surely, there were some or perhaps even many Palestinians in Gaza who did not endorse Hamas' tactics and/or may not have even voted for them...

Think of Bush, or my own governor LePage. I did not vote for either one of them, yet am stuck with the consequences of their decisions. What if (hypothetically) their decisions resulted in a response such as what the Palestinians in Gaza are seeing? Would I, and everyone I know deserve destruction of our communities, and possibly even death for it? Bush's policies in particular were egregious. If there existed a power disproportionately stronger than us, would they be justified in causing the same level of death and destruction to civilians here in America?

Regarding the suggestion made by the other poster; there is nothing stopping that person from eventually posting his/her own OP showing the other side of this tragedy. Or even just posting something here in this thread, as you pointed out.

16. Thankyou for posting this video.

17. Does Israel believe every man, woman, child and building in Gaza is a terrorist and must die?
