On all the cases you just mentioned: anything to say about Christian vs Muslim fighting during the Lebanese Civil war? The Christian Falangist active participation in the Sabra and Chatilla massacre? (Never a Falangist leader was judged and some even got the highest ranks in the country afterwards.) The true number of victims in Jenin?…
The list of conflicts between Israel and its Arab neighbours is indeed long, an even longer the claims Muslims do against Israel, while ignoring their own responsability in the region's conflicts.
But well, today as in the past Arabs and Muslims are totally out of any responsability of what happens here. That's why no one in Europe or even in the Arab street gives a damn about the more than 30 thousand Syrians slaughtered in the last 2 ys.
You're right, no one belive us, not even the senior Hamas leader Fathi Hamad, when his ill 3 yeard-old daughter was treated in an Israeli hospital.

You have a very very short memory. Already forgotten cast lead and the 450 kids the IDF killed. YOu forget the 20000 Lebanese killed when Sharon invaded Lebanon, you forget Sabra and Chittilla, you forget Qana, you forget Khyam, Jenin, you forget the attacks on innocent people in Beruit in 2006,you forget the deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure, the list is long… just calculate the no of innocents Israel has killed since the occupation started.
50 Pals killed… for you thats no big deal.
There is a world of a difference between saying the Gazans are not the target and Israels actions. Your reputation and record is so bad that even when you do start "caring" for Palestinian life, no one will believe you

I guess my answers are consistent, at least you admit that

Sorry youre the one being silly.
The Pals love their kids as much as you do… the only difference, they are completely desperate with hope for a decent life just a dream. The
'decent life" Israel offers them is very much the decent life the S African apartheid regime offered the blacks

@Ravi, the Israeli government has said it clearly: the Gazan population are not the target of Pillar of Defense. If the Israeli goverment wanted to kill all Gazans and destroy everything in the territory, believe me, they could do it. The target is only the Hamas terrorist infrastucture.
Why does Israel drops panflets informing civilians to keep away from places related to Hamas, like rockets lauching pads, bomb stockpiles, Hamas' personnel homes? Why, despite Israel having bombed a few hundred places in the Gaza Strip so far, less than 50 Palestinian were killed so far? And most of them, even according to Palestinian sources were armed militants and not civilians. There were even a few cases of Gazans killed and wounded by errant missiles shot by Hamas that fell short in the Strip.
Yeah, war sucks and innocents die on both sides. Hamas oppresses his own people and uses Gazans as human shields. Why did the leader of Hamas Ismail Hannyeh met with the Egyptian PM in an hospital? He knew Israel would not attack that place even if was full of terrorists at the time. In the meantime, Hamas has no problem in firing rockets into Israel, even if they can fall on hospitals. There's a huge diference between both sides. But well, no one here expects you to understand it.

Check your facts – if this whole thing was about land that we've "stolen", why did Arabs massacre a group of people in Hebron in 1929? People who were sitting and learning Torah, not rioting, throwing rocks, making bombs…

Together with the Gazans who are been bombed and killed by the IDF/IAF..?
