    ..includes a tour up to the hills to watch israeli rockets rain down on palestinian civilians. cheer along with other israelis in the delight that with every death, israel can legally ignore accusations of genocide!!

        Genocide: the systematic destruction of all or part of a racial, ethnic, religious or national group via the (a) Killing members of the group (CHECK); (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group (CHECK); (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part (CHECK);(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group (CHECK); or (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group (CHECK)

        *claps and rubs hands together* Yep, think we have a genocide lads.

          “The convention defines genocide as any act committed with the IDEA OF DESTROYING in whole or in part a national, ethnic, racial or religious group” and then the above points follow… The IDF is targeting rocket sites and militants and unfortunately due to the conscious decisions of Hamas to carry out attacks in the vicinity of civilians, civilians are unfortunately caught up in this and Hamas will keep it that way as they win over people like yourself in the media……fighting an insurgency isnt genocide no matter how many times you say it

            it’s not an insurgency, it’s a slaughter of innocents. you can try and dress it up whatever way you want but you just keep sounding like cartman.

          2. Clampers Outside!

            …you forgot the fact that they are inside what is considered by all decent human beings an open prison. A prison that squeezes tighter every year and will continue to tighten until all inside are dead or gone.

            That be a genocide. Just because it is slow doesn’t mean it isn’t so.

            The UN is investigating Israel for war crimes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-28437626

            Do I believe an organisation that actually has people on the ground seeing what’s going on, or some keyboard warrior hold up in his little hovel in Ireland calling themselves Bejayziz?

            How about the fact that more Palestinian children have been killed than combatants? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/10984451/Israels-offensive-in-Gaza-has-killed-more-children-than-fighters-say-human-rights-groups.html

            or that children are tortured and used as human shields?
            http://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-palestinian-children-tortured-used-as-shields-by-israel-says-un-report-2003668

            Or the fact Palestinians are economically repressed, murdered in their homes, treated like second class citizens in their own lands by a neighbouring power who has continued and illegal occupation for over 30 years?

    Well even if the Waterford News & Star is the only thing they literally ever read(and never use t’internet), they’re going to be in for a shock when they try and book, to discover that no airlines are currently flying in there…

  3. Right you are

    Anyone read Hamas’s charter recently? Israel is not going away and they’re more concerned of the existential threat of Islamist terrorists than they are of public opinion.
