I wonder if Israel and the Palestinians have the same God!!

Hatred, killings, and yet both are ...religious !!

Those who are filled with hatred for either the Palestinians or the Israelis are most certainly religious, one is amongst us.

It takes two to tango, both Israel and the Palestinians have a right to a peaceful life, all they have to do is accept each others right to exist as humans. Israel must lift the blockade on Gaza and Hamas must stop launching rockets against Israel, home made or not .

The suffering has to stop for ....Gods sake.

The Palestinian genocide is UNACCEPTABLE in the 21st century and the US, the EU, and the UN’s ignorance and tolerance of it renders them complicit in this crime.

AGREED! The civilian casualties are unacceptable!

However, calling it a genocide is way over the top and false.

Furthermore, you can't hypocritically pick and choose your side and just go against the US at every opportunity or fail to see the crimes committed by others such as Russia right now, and other instances such as the war crimes and actual genocide attempts committed by Serbian Militias etc. and support those because your credibility just goes out the window! The same applies to Cypiot EOKA B Militias that criminally killed some GC as well as commit crimes against other TCs which are well documented (Kurupetos should take note of this).

You got to be consistent and fair because politics is not a game and all humans have a right to justice and human rights.

So is this in the 21st century:

"Since 2001, Palestinian militants have launched thousands of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip as part of the continuing Arab–Israeli conflict."

" Attacks have been carried out by all Palestinian armed groups,[18] and, prior to the 2008–2009 Gaza War, were consistently supported by most Palestinians,[19][20][21][22] although the stated goals have been mixed. The attacks, widely condemned for targeting civilians, have been described as terrorism by United Nations, European Union and Israeli officials, and are defined as war crimes by human rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian structures that do not discriminate between civilians and military targets are illegal under international law.[23][24]"

War is a terrible act, barbarities occur from both waring parties. When hatred takes over all hell breaks lose.

If only both Israel and the Palestinians respected each others right to exist in peace and harmony, abandoned hatred and concentrate on creating an atmosphere of peace and stability in their respective regions.

As always those that bear the brunt of suffering are the innocent men women and children.

Come to think of was it not you that advocated war on Turkey some years back ?

Your crocodile tears fool nobody, you are guided by your immense hatred of the USA, Israel and the West in general.

Ever thought of going out to Gaza, actions speak louder than words !!

GR is not alone in his condemnation of Israel, of course all decent human beings condemn the indiscriminate killing of innocents, although he is right behind suicide bombers. Well at least Turkey concurs with his views.

"The conflict in Gaza has strained already tense relations between Turkey and Israel, prompting a new diplomatic crisis.

The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem has recalled the families of Israeli diplomats in Turkey and issued a travel advisory recommending Israelis refrain from traveling to the country, in the wake of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s sharp attacks on Israel, as well as violent demonstrations against the Israeli embassy in Ankara and its consulate in Istanbul. "

Senior officials at the Foreign Ministry stated that the violent demonstrations occurred after incitement by Turkey’s prime minister, as well as by Ankara’s mayor Melih Gokcek, who claimed that Israel was perpetrating genocide in Gaza, “ten times worse than that conducted by Hitler.” These officials added that Israel requested Turkish defense authorities to augment the protection of Israeli facilities, but that Turkish security forces did not do their job during the demonstrations in order to prevent the outbreak of violence. "
Now hold on, someone else also called it a genocide!!

" Turkish Prime Minister Accuses Israel of Genocide as Diplomats Are Pulled Out"

"“We have been witnessing this systematic genocide every Ramadan since 1948,” said Erdogan, in reference to Israel’s intensifying attacks on the Gaza strip. "

"He also blamed the Muslim world for its lacking response to the crisis in Gaza, claiming that “some Islamic countries are content with what is happening in Palestine today”.
http://www.newsweek.com/turkish-prime-m ... out-259776

"Erdogan told reporters after Muslim Friday prayers: "Israel threatens world peace. Israel threatens peace in the Middle East. Therefore, I personally, can never contemplate anything positive with Israel as long as I remain on duty."

"Israel is at the moment waging terrorism; Israel at the moment is carrying out genocide," he said."

"Ankara: Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel on Saturday of having "surpassed Hitler in barbarism" through its attacks on Gaza, but warned Turks against taking out their anger on the country's Jewish community."
