Seems pretty consistent since the drones and US air strikes are very precise in blowing up houses with people in them. Not saying that is a bad thing if the house is full of confirmed terrorists but usually others are going to be killed whenever you target a house.

I'm not excusing those U.S. attacks. My point is that such actions were characterized — rightly so, perhaps — as reckless homicide, because of the collateral damage (can we possibly find a more vague descriptor for the killing of innocent civilians? ). Yet firing missiles without accurate guidance systems is apparently not reckless homicide. U.S., Israel, et al = reckless murderers; Hamas, Hezbollah = heroic freedom fighters.

That's the "consistency", or lack thereof, that I'm talking about. Wazzamattah you? No reedin' compresshin? }:p

It's not wilful killing which is what the Israelis are being accused of... as I said higher up the thread murder requires knowledge of a virtual certainly of death or serious harm which is supported by the facts in the case of US cross border strikes on Pakistan but not by the wildly ineffective Hamas strikes on Palestine.

km, You. Are. The. MAN!!! I just knew you'd have an excuse for your pals.

It's you that needs the excuse... 1417 : 3 speaks for itself.

LOL no shiit , I never knew that willful firing rockets into a city is not murder . I guess them rockets were lunched by accident

True dat. I never expect to kill anyone whenever I throw bowling balls off the interstate overpass. I'm just practicing for league night.

I've already told you why they were lunched... to protest against the continuing expropriation of their lands without legal redress and to put civilian trespassers in fear - which is regrettable, but it's not murder.

LOL

I don't care what the protest is YOU have NO RIGHT to murder anyone

The real truth the 1417 blood is on Hamas hands it is all their fault they were told many times in the space of 10 days to STOP firing those rockets or Israel will defend themselves - which is exactly what happened

If Hamas ceased the rocket fire those 1417 would still be alive today <- Blame Hamas

Well I don't think they murdered anyone - murder requires knowledge of a virtual certainty of death or serious harm which is not apparent from the facts - there were many murders alright but they were committed by the Israelis - not that you would care about that.


I wouldn't recommend that... it would mean living in servitude and humiliation. Hamas has told the Israelis many times to stop trying to take away their land and to return that already expropriated and until that happens I'd recommend that they continue their protests.


No I don't agree with that... a lot more Palestinians were murdered before the rocket strikes than after so your thinking is a little woolly on that one I think.
