    sabiwabi,

    I said

    however, the police were Hamas officials, making them combatants in their own right.

    You said,

    I guess that also includes firemen, medical staff, or any other civil officer. Now I know why some estimates of civilian casualties are so low. I don't think police officers or traffic officers are launching rockets, why specifically target them?

    I wouldn't include "firemen, medical staff, or any other civil officer." Those are your words and not mine. I specifically mentioned the police because they are armed and are working Hamas members. The firemen, medics, etc. I don't believe are armed, therefore should not be used in your argument... unless you know something different.

    Sabiwabi,

    Hamas is responsible to some extent, but you also have to realize that Israel has specifically targeted police stations and other security related facilities during their recent carnage. A large number of police were among the casualties. This makes it more difficult to keep things under control.

    I realize that the police were targeted and it makes it difficult to control other militant groups, however, the police were Hamas officials, making them combatants in their own right. Leading by example is always the best way, but in the case of the Gaza the leaders failed miserably; the restraint and leadership on the West Bank is to be commended.

    Hamas controls Gaza, therefore they are the authority, are they not? If they "can't" control the "smaller militant groups" then Hamas should be responsible for that. It seems that some people here are willing to go to great lengths to disregard this reality. If Hamas allow these smaller militant groups (as if Hamas isn't militant) to fire rockets into Isreal again, they can't just give a shoulder shrug and say, "sorry we didn't do it." This is too simple an excuse for any sympathizer.

    I think it may better to make plenty of phones,cars,motorbikes,bicycles with lower price and under one lower price brand.

    A lower priced cell phone would a calculator and a note pad strapped onto a walkie-talkie... nnnnnnah, I'd rather pay more and go digital.

    Now I'm almost positive this thief is a professional chef. What's the crowbar used for in a kitchen?

    JackBerstein: sorry bushlover, but what Amnesty International has documented is definitley considered using human shields. Israel has done it for many years, look it up. You won't see it on the usual news channel, so you'll have to look a bit harder.

    >

    "Amnesty International said on Wednesday that both Israeli soldiers and Palestinian fighters are endangering the lives of Palestinian civilians – including by using them as human shields."

    I believe you can see that both Israeli soldiers & Palestinian fighters are named. Let's not make this another one sided event. Partial truths are just a flat out lie.

    Indiscriminate use of arsenal is more dangerous than a deliberate and targeted attack. Lack of brains would mean... shooting rockets from a kindergarten rooftop against the wind.

    Anyway, I thought all that the Hamas "soldiers" had to do was light the fuse, scrunch their eyes and plug their ears... and hope the rocket launched.

    We don't know how much Israel has "achieved" due to the fact that we aren't privy to their original plans and actions, but I think from the reports they have made a dent.

    Hamas may have all their leaders outside its borders, so there is probably a chicken running around with its head cut off for awhile. You don't need brainers to shoot rockets.

    likeitis,

    honestly, I'm sorry about your posts. I did have a chance to read some of them before they were deleted. I felt the same way a few days ago. Aside from obviously being at polar ends of the debates I think accepting that we are learning from all the posters says something. At least I can admit it.

    Anyway...

    Anything that will fit through a tunnel goes through. But don't you find it odd that we speak of tunnels so matter of factly? Why should there be any need?

    Don't you think that tunnels are a clandestine way to move "things" or "people?" We know not all tunnels are made for food and medicine.

    Its funny, because last I heard Israel had near total control over Gaza and has since 1967. How anyone else could be using the Palestinians of Gaza is beyond me. Do they have some sort of inter-dimensional porthole???

    The other Islamic states or terrorist groups (Iran, Hezbollah, etc.) just say, "go ahead brother, attack Israel and we'll support your cause with money and weapons." The Taliban had the same support from the Saudi's, which later withdrew their support. If you make a small man believe that he is invincible, he may die not knowing his fight was fruitless... and lacking 8 virgins, or whatever, in Heaven.

    likeitis,

    All I said was, "Arab political parties do exist" in Israel.

    You said: Political parties are nothing until they get representation the government Jack. How many seats do they have in the Knesset? How many PMs have they had? Presidents? Cabinet members? Place that number next to the number that filled those spots that were from Jewish political parties.

    You're getting all defensive, but I beg to differ. Some political parties are formed, never to be elected, however, they influence the voters and other elected governments. If you get elected and do an awful job, then you're out!! If you influence other parties so they adopt your view, then you're going to last, even though you still don't get great representation.

    I know the Green Parties around the world aren't getting many seats either, but you hope... Let's just not pretend Arabs have never had any representation in the Knesset. Please don't argue the numbers... it's about achievement.

    Arab political parties exist in Israel... do any Jewish parties exist in any Arab or Islamic countries? We all know the answers, therefore Israel seems pretty secular.

    Two Arab political parties have been disqualified from running in Israel's parliamentary elections on February 10 after they were accused of not recognising the country's right to exist.

    Why run in elections when the country in question that you are running in doesn't exist? Hahaa!

    YangYong: The idea that Israel's security problems can be resolved by the unilateral use of extreme force is a persistent delusion among Israeli politicians... and many of those on here. Israel has just stolen from itself a safer future by not reckoning with the past. She needs to grow up and find a moral compass.

    Things go both ways. Why so bent on blaming one side? No side lacks fault here. Maybe Israel was careless and killed too many civilians... maybe Hamas used civilians as human shields. If you believe in God at all, there will be a high price to pay.

    The number of murder cases jumped more than 8% in Japan last year, despite an overall drop in the crime rate in the country, which has long boasted of low crime, the National Police Agency said Thursday.

    I suppose the murder victims are actually the ones creating the crime. Kill the criminals and in turn drop the crime rate.

    Shouganaika,

    with burglaries making up the largest proportion, accounting for 76% of total crimes

    -and those are all committed by Chinese and Koreans apparently

    Then who are the ones doing the actual murders? It can't be the Japanese because they don't commit crime or murder people! The conspiracy??!!! Maybe the Philipinos? What a joke.

    I s'pose he can come to Canada and get a gay marriage license here. Still there are probably woman wanting to be a maids who want to marry him... all the girls with that "I can change him" mentality?

    Is Enka really that popular with the girls in Japan? I want to be an Enka singer...

    likeitis, you should be the UN Leader, jeez. That's your only solution so far... for the Israelis to give up land. You claim to be neither here nor there. You seem to be contradiction your stance all the while employing your faux diplomacy. Caught you again!
