Israel's Blitzkrieg on Gaza Proves Politically Expedient, Disproportionate and Unstoppable

The kill ratio is 300 Palestinians to 1 Israeli. The Israeli human rights organization B"Tselem,reports that the primitive rockets from Gaza,have taken thirteen Israeli lives in the past four years,while Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied territories in the past two years alone, not counting Gaza
What if this was happening to the jews? The reaction would be spectacular and filled with claims of persecution and victim rhetoric.
Global propaganda outlets are tirelessly covering-up Israel"s war crimes and spreading Israeli propaganda. According to Western media, Israel is a "civilised" and "democratic" nation, never initiates terrorist attacks or involved in daily acts of terrorism. Israel simply responds and retaliates. Israel responds to Palestinian throwing stones and retaliates against Palestinian rockets.
Israeli soldiers are "forced" to kill Palestinian children and pregnant women, and demolish Palestinian houses. Israeli soldiers are not responsible because they are facing a "stronger enemy". BS. The fact that these crimes are acts of terrorism against defenseless people doesn"t seem to interest Western media.
The fact that Israel is a racist apartheid state aimed at becoming a homogenous "Jewish state" at the expense of the indigenous Palestinian people is deliberately ignored by Western media. By contrast, the Palestinians are portrayed as "militants" - regardless of age -, "seeking revenge" and trying to "destroy" a "peace-loving Israel".
Good news? There will be when Israel and USi representatives recognize a two-state solution, a separation between their country and this one, the United States.
From a simple American nurse who lived and worked in the West Bank, Thanks. Please keep talking and spreading whatever truth you can and ignore the BS that others state in comments. Cry for the People of Palestine
Thanks for your opinion Mr. Hamas. Last time there was a war against Israel there were 150 million Arabs against 7 million Israelis. And you guys lost. Walk it off.
It seemed somebody was complaining about a blockade back then.
Nothing to brag about mate. You mean that pre-preemptive war you waged to steal Arab land and for which you must return all which you thought you had gained and for which you are still drowning in Palestinian blood to hang on to. You'll only be able to walk it off if Hamas lets you.
