So either declare war on Israel and get your ass kicked, or do something that might actually advance your cause like a non-violent work stoppage and boycott, but this practice of lobbing rockets at Israel along with the occasional suicide bombing has got to stop. Really, do you think this helps anyone? Do you expect Israel to sit by and let themselves be the target of rockets? I think the Palestinians have a good argument, but their tactics suck big time. ---

IMO, Israel should have wiped them out a long time ago. Not sure why they’ve pussy-footed around. ---

For some reason, I think it’s been US gov’t policy to wring our hands and whisper, “Now, play nice.” What I don’t understand is why Israel doesn’t tell us “Screw you” and do what they need to do. ---

I was just reading about the rocket attacks into Israel that provoked these air strikes, and wondering how Hamas got “now we must have our revenge” out of it. But I would never think to blame the European Union. I mean… huh? Nobody in the EU fired those rockets. ---

> [@Bosda\_Di\_Chi\_of\_Tricor](#): > > Nah. > > Thinly-veiled antisemitism. Whilst i have no huge interest in either side, i’d like to point out that it is possible to be against israel for reasons other than because they’re jewish\*. Israelis may all be jewish but not all jews are from israel, therefore critisism of israel ≠ antisemitism. By your definition, anyone who criticised the U.K. is anti-christian (is there a specific word for that?) Thats not to say that no-one is anti-semitic, but everytime I see anything about israel on here some people act as if Israel can do no wrong and anyone who says otherwise secretly wants to start a second holocaust [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-hamas/478867.md?page=2)
