Mind boggling to me. Hamas uses human shields because they know the resulting deaths will be played endlessly in the LIB dominated media.
Over and over again.
If these thugs were called out and soundly condemned by everyone, they would find other means and the use of human shields would stop.
But LIBs being LIBs, they simply can’t help themselves.
And so it continues.

What a stupid thing to say…

The safety of of journalist is absolutely not “paramount” to anything or anyone except journalists.
AP trying to claim they didn’t know HAMAS was in the building? Horse hockey.

I guess 2 wrong do make a right. You win!
I doubt it ever happens… Arabs have been hating the Jews all the way back to Ishmael.
It has nothing to do with the land. The land is just the latest excuse.

Mine was a tongue in cheek sarcastic remark. We don’t indiscriminately kill innocent civilians. Terrorists have an agenda and it has nothing to do with us killing people they care nothing about. 
Islam is about being the one and only true religion. Infidels who don’t subscribe must be crushed. Israel and western civilization in general are infidels.
Some are. But today, Christians aren’t looking to take over the world and force Christianity down everyone’s throat. Israel isn’t looking to wipe Muslims off the face of the earth.

No? Are you sure? You went from “religion” to Christians. Are they the same thing?
I agree with your last sentence.
Christians have outreach programs. They would like to convert everyone, peacefully. And that is the big difference. Most religions today preach peaceful coexistence. Islam is a notable exception, responsible for much of the carnage we see in the Middle East today.

Might want to look at what some “religions” are doing in the name of religion.
On a scale that pales in comparison to what Muslims are doing to themselves and to others.

Christians don’t really have anything to do with this conflict. We best get back on topic.

Every major religion believe this about themselves. The only one I know that doesn’t is Buddhism.
Already had this conversation with Sneaky.

I mentioned Christianity simply as an example. Agree it isn’t relevant to the topic and will move on.

It goes back even farther than Islam i think. That’s why i said arabs instead of Islam.
Back to the rejected Ishmael imo.

These are the three realities creating this epic conflict.
-Israel isn’t going away.
-Israel will never engage in total war to gain a lasting victory.
-Those Palestinians and their state sponsors bent on the destruction of Israel will never surrender in their efforts.
This leaves two options: brave, self-sacrificing, violence-exhausted, peace-loving heroes on both sides seeking a solution. Or accept that this status quo is, in fact, the best it’s going to get. The solution. A detente with periodic, horrible, tragic flareups.
And the fact the Palestinians rejected an offer that could have helped is irrelevant. Same with the legitimacy of Israel. Those are in the past. So just try again, and again and again.
In my opinion it will continue to escalate over time as Hamas gets more powerful and accurate weapons from Iran. Iran is the real issue here. While they are in no position to directly challenge Israel, their proxies can inflict a lot of pain.
Hamas today is more powerful than they were in 2014. In the very near future this will once again result in a temporary null in the fighting. In a few more years, Hamas will once again flex their muscles with more modern technology. At some point, I believe Israel will have no choice but to reoccupy Gaza.
I agree, but the poster has claimed several times that “this wouldn’t happen under Trump” and “Trump brought peace” neither of which is remotely true vis a vis the Palestinians
