Gaza under attack yet again.

Sorry new this.
Terrible what is happening in Gaza
But can someone explain.
Without the hate.
I will answer your questions, if you will also answer mine.
Why is Hamas still firing rocket into Israel when the know Israel
will just track the point of fire then bombard the place.
Hamas has a military wing whose job it is to attack Israel, its sworn enemy. Therefore they are using what they have to attack their oppressor. The facts on the ground are that Hamas' rockets only disrupt the Israeli population with air raid warnings and having to run to shelters. Hamas' rockets have hardly killed anyone because of Israel's Iron Dome shield. But they are an irritant and they remind Israel that Hamas exists.

It may be that Hamas would not differentiate between civilian and military Israeli targets, of course their weapons are not intelligent enough to differentiate anyhow so they just fire them and hope.

I am not in favour of anyone targeting innocent civilians, not Hamas nor the IDF.
I am not on the side of Hamas, but I am on the side of the people of Gaza!

Why is Hamas building tunnels into Israel.
Hamas is building tunnels because there is a wall and tunnels are the only way to get past the wall. They build tunnels so they can attach Israel and also to bring in supplies which otherwise would be stopped by the 7-8 year blockade.
Why has Egypt continued to blockade Gaza.
The current Egypt government is anti Hamas.
What is Israel supposed to do when Hamas say it's main objective
is to drive Israel into the sea.
It is my understanding that
1) Hamas's charter includes reference to the destruction of Israel (that is the state)
2) Hamas have offered to change their charter in exchange for other items from Israel but Israel does not want that. It seems Israel prefers the existence of an enemy against whom it can take steps as and when it wishes.
Sorry it is terrible to see what is happening but there is no answer in
war for both sides. So where is the point. Can anyone sensible answer
my questions.

So, my questions:

1) Why does Israel continue to build settlements on Palestinian lands? Why does Israel continue to disposes Palestinians of their homes and land and access to water?

2) Why does Israel, who claim they are the most moral military in the world that never targets civilians, have killed something like 1,600 Gazans so far and flattened whole neighbourhoods?

3) Why does Israel target Hospitals, UN Schools, Kids playing on a beach, Power plants, civilian neighbourhoods etc .. what is this if it is not collective punishment and the targeting of civilians?

4) why are the parties so opposite in their media relations and the actual facts on the ground. Israel says that Hamas want to kill all Jews, yet Hamas have hardly managed to kill any Israelis while Israel has managed to kill 1,600 Palestinians, most of whom were civilians? Hamas apparently want to kill civilians but hasn't, Israel does not target civilians yet has killed 1,600 and injured many thousands more, why?
 
which seems to defeat the object of higher education which - you'd have thought - would be 'think for yourself'.

They may well be 'thinking for themselves'. The support for state terror among the better educated might also be an indicator of social class and personal/professional/financial advancement being linked to the state sector of the Israeli economy; i.e. if the better educated have greater links to the state and the economic system, they also have a vested interest in providing it with the technical expertise and philosophical rationale for mass murder.
 
Let's not forget the 'damage' a Palestinian rocket actually does:

Well thats a perfectly reasonable response for that poor sod.:(

isnt really for somebody in a postion to launch airstrikes tanks artillery etc etc so that gazans dont have to worry about their possesions because they are dead:mad:
 
To be fair, he probably is slightly less batshit than some of his coalition colleagues.

Given all the stuff they're in total agreement on, that doesn't really do the people of Gaza much good though.

The article seems to be suggesting that 'restraint' here involves not sending the IDF ground forces into situations, e.g. trying to occupy the place rather than blasting the shit out of it from a safe distance, which might give Hamas et al a decent chance to get at them and even the score a bit.

A Putin-style preference for Grozny 2 over Grozny 1 in effect.

Maybe everyone in Israel has got acute OCD and they've collectively taken exception to having their collections of books and records rearranged by a bunch of Arab savages. Collections that took months of meticulous categorisation by artist, genre, year and label.

Hamas' bombing of Israeli bookcases is akin to letting my children do as they please with my vinyl collection... We all need a Bibi, he's not a monster, he's just a librarian with an army... :p

Bar the broken windows, that picture is not far off what every room in my house looked like during the electrical rewiring.
It was very stressful but tbf, far preferable to having my children blown up and the whole neighbourhood flattened.
 
Or the orthodox priests in Serbia and Greece who exhorted people to go and fight in Srebrenica and went around visiting troops etc

Or for that matter the Croatian/Serbian 'military bishops'
I'm sure you are somewhat aware that a proper Levitical/Christian priesthood would tend towards all the needs, and pick up the slack in every way they could towards a good life, not only for their own families, but their neighbors, communities, on out, and would not go to pains to give root to strife of any kind.
 
270,000 more refugees in Gaza since the Israeli genocide began. That's the equivalent of the population of Brighton & Hove being made homeless.
 
Where do they want to relocate 1.8 million Palestinians to? Madagascar certainly couldn't cope.

The old notion has been to force and/or bribe the surrounding Arab nations to absorb them, which patently is not what the surrounding Arab nations want, or they'd have absorbed those already in refugee camps in their countries, and is also not what the Palestinians themselves want.
