Do you understand what ethnic cleansing is? AloeVera May 2024 #90

Out of curiosity, where is Felucia? yagotme May 2024 #254

If they mean Fallujah, that battle killed 700 civilians. Hardly a shining example of sparing noncombatants. SunSeeker May 2024 #259

Like I said, I looked it up. yagotme May 2024 #260

I'm pretty sure they mean Fallujah, but their assertion is wrong, either way. SunSeeker May 2024 #261

Israel is RIGHT NEXT DOOR Eko May 2024 #150

Israel took in 2 million Palestinians. How many has Egypt taken in? SunSeeker May 2024 #160

How many Palestinian refugees have they taken in from this conflict? 0. Eko May 2024 #164

Wow, so you forgive Egypt not letting in Gazan women & children because they'll start a war with Israel? SunSeeker May 2024 #167

I never, ever discount women and children. Eko May 2024 #168

Suggesting Gazan women and children will shoot rockets into Israel from Egypt is not "empowering" them. SunSeeker May 2024 #169

If you think women cant fight and children wont grow up then fine. Eko May 2024 #177

Wow, so let these women and children risk death rather than put Egypt in a "tough place"? SunSeeker May 2024 #181

Its amazing how you just let Israel stay out of the conversation as far as who can take care of them. Eko May 2024 #182

It's amazing that you care more about punishing Israel than saving these women and children. nt SunSeeker May 2024 #183

Exactly how do I want to punish Israel? Eko May 2024 #184

You want to blame Israel for everything and stop all support for Israel. nt SunSeeker May 2024 #185

How does Israel destroy Hamas without civilian deaths if these women and children stay in Gaza as human shields? SunSeeker May 2024 #187

That does not give me a lolz, and I grow tiresome of conversations where people Eko May 2024 #188

So you want Israel to take in people you say will go to war with them? SunSeeker May 2024 #189

Jeeze, do you even read what I said? Eko May 2024 #190

Yes, I do, that is why what you're asking doesn't make sense. SunSeeker May 2024 #191

Did Israel create a security force around the zone? Eko May 2024 #192

Yes, they did. It wasn't enough to keep Hamas from infiltrating the zones. SunSeeker May 2024 #193

Really? That's interesting. Eko May 2024 #200

Rafah for one. But Hamas still established a base there. SunSeeker May 2024 #210

They did nothing more than tell people to go there. Eko May 2024 #212

Rafah is encircled by military. It has more security than most places in Gaza. SunSeeker May 2024 #213

I could not find where they did that. Eko May 2024 #214

Also, if it has more security than most places in Gaza then how was Hamas in there? Eko May 2024 #215

Because the civilians let Hamas hide among them. SunSeeker May 2024 #217

You are correct that it was outside of the zones. Eko May 2024 #220

When did Israel ever "take in" any Palestinians? Crunchy Frog May 2024 #208

Israel has taken in a lot more Palestinians than Egypt ever did. SunSeeker May 2024 #209

So, first you claim they took in 2 million, Crunchy Frog May 2024 #219

There ARE 2 million Palestinians in Israel. They make up 21% of the Israeli population. SunSeeker May 2024 #221

They're descended from the minority of Palestinians Crunchy Frog May 2024 #223

They are immigrants and descendants. SunSeeker May 2024 #230

I'm sure that explains why 700,000 were ethnically cleansed. Crunchy Frog May 2024 #231

why should they be forced to solve a problem Israel is causing???? TomDaisy May 2024 #102

It is a problem HAMAS caused. Israel has a right to destroy Hamas, just like we had a right to destroy Al Qaeda. nt SunSeeker May 2024 #106

so if Israel is destroying Hamas, why do the civilians need to go to Egypt TomDaisy May 2024 #110

Because Hamas is using civilians as human shields. nt SunSeeker May 2024 #113

So Israel is killing more than Hamas TomDaisy May 2024 #114

The civilian deaths are the result of Hamas using them as human shields. nt SunSeeker May 2024 #115
