The Tel Aviv bombing on Monday received intensive, extensive, and poignant BBC coverage, including pictures of pieces of human flesh shredded by the force of the explosion. Below is a partial list from occupied Palestine of shellings, killings, robberies, savage beatings, attacks on schools and infrastructure, home demolitions, kidnappings, the use of sewage as a weapon, and more. Virtually all of these Israeli government, military and settler crimes went unreported. BBC viewers were told that Israel would 'retaliate' for the Tel Aviv bombing: we are seeing more of the collective reprisals, themselves war crimes, that Palestinians are used to. The Islamic Jihad bomber was not shown as 'retaliating' for any of the thousands of shells Israel has fired into Gaza in recent days; killing children. Viewers are left with the impression of a motiveless, irrational violence, probably caused by hatred of Jews.

Is killing people with high explosives a crime only when the perpetrator doesn't survive? If they go home for a cup of tea afterward and watch TV with their own children, does that make child-murder any less of a crime? Tony Blair and the BBC certainly think so.

The miracle is that so many see through the dishonesty of the BBC and other major British media.

Please join the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and campaign against crime and murder. British arms sales to Israel doubled in the past year.

By Peace Palestine – Saturday April 22, 2006

Dont know if its 100% truth, but I know one for sure, that Israel soldiers are no better than Hamas radicals.
They both hate each other and are racists, but I guess they have their own reasons.

It's disusting what the Israelis get away with. It's also disgusting that other governments support them.

The news broadcasts the Israelis moving into Palestinian areas and kicking them out of their homes so they can be demolished, yet nothing is done about it. Why is it that they get away with this?

Because they are rich and powerful, but palestinians are poor and hated.

All this hate and violence was cause by who? (Palestine) so WHO do you think is going to suffer the most? (Palestine) They provoke the attacks, they recieve them. You support peace Sanjuro but you openly support the Idea of Israel being destroyed. The people of Palestine should learn to bite their lip and take the non-lethal bullet on Israel. It's been like 50 years, let it go.

Would you standby and do nothing while your home was taken away from you?

would you stand by and do nothing if your neighboring country denied your right to exist, while attacking you with suicide bombers?

Where does Israel's right to exist come from? The State of Israel is land that was stolen by the British and given to Israelis. Why? Because of old myths and legends, that some people call the word of God. People nowadays, think of the ancient stories of Egyptian and Roman Gods and Goddesses as metaphorical or fantasy, but the people of that time, more than likely believed in them.

As intellectually advanced as we are today, you would think people would accept most religious stories are myth and folklore, and I mean, come on, it's ridiculous to think otherwise, and frankly a little backward.

So the land between the Nile and Euphrates has been promised to the people of David, eh? Who says? It's a made-up story!

The support from Western Governments and the media for the murderous, evil acts of state Terrorism committed by Israel is just so... I don't have words. The reasons behind this I can only speculate on.

We had a Palestinian girl come live with us a couple of years ago. She had managed to get out of the country and come to study in the UK. She had left 10 members of her family there, mostly children. Any act of violence is terrible and I am not condoning anything, but her stories of life in Palestine make you almost understand why people resort to suicide bombings. Sheer desperation at the tyranny they live under. Don't get me wrong the act is cowardly and totally wrong, but we don't get the full story of the conditions they live under.

Considering we are all human beings, the fighting is ridiculous. Who cares what God we believe in? It's even more ridiculous when you realise that Israelis and Palestinaians are almost genetically identical. They just disagree on how the world came about.

Said it before, but the human race are a moronic species.

None of the violence would have happened if the Palestinians land hadn't been taken from them in the first place.

terrorist

What about all of the vast areas of land bought from the Ottoman Empire. Do the Jewish people who bought all of that land have the right to live on it in your opinion?

seeing as how they were "purchasing" land that wasnt theirs to buy, no they dont. See after the Ottaman Empire collapsed after first world war, britain and france made up the middle east as they went along, the only reason Israel exists is to give a power base for European and now American interest, cheifly by annexing and murdering thousands of palestinians. Israel has one of the most disgustingly corrupt and inherently evil goverment establishments in the world.

Are Palestinians the same thing as the "biblical" Philistines?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines

As intellectually advanced as we are today, you would think that Palestine would stop this childish cherade and stop bickering about the exsistance of Israel. Maybe if they actually spent thier money on improving their nation and not trying to kill others they might get somewhere. How come it seems that Israel is the most civil country in the Middle-East? Maybe the surrounding nations should learn something from them.

thats not actually how it is in the middle east though. As intellectualy advanced as you claim we are, youd think Israel would stop annexing massive chuncks of Palestinian lands. And have you actually seen what Iran, Saudi and Iraq [pre-U.S sanctions] are like?, they are some of the most advanced, westernised countries in the world, despite how the "news" and media potray these anarchic moooooslums.

so whats all this violence mean? whats the cause and effect? And why has it been censored?

Becuase Israel dont want to advertise to the world all the crimes they commit against the state of Palestine on a daily basis. All they choose to advertise is the suicide attacks if and when they occur, not what is basicaly a war where casaulities happen regualry with clashes on both sides from run-in battles. This is some good history to start.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War

But how it stands now, Irans basicaly funding every Palestinian militia to keep fighting Israel for them, cuase Iran really really hates Israel.

How would you feel if some foreigners, took over Massachussets and said their God had promised them this land. They squeezed you guys out, gave you a little bit land to live on, say Boston, and continued daily attrocities on your family, friends and neighbours, calling you cockroaches, not human, and fenced you in. Over time they take more and more of Boston for themselves, and continue killing men, women and children, not to mention foreign journalists trying to expose the events, and aid workers trying to help. They use brutal military hardware you would never be able to get your hands on.

Would you fight back?

It's not the same thing. Israel is only retaliating to the foolish attacks from the Palestinians. Israel is not annexing any more land but they might if Palestine keeps trying to overthrow them. It's not like Palestine suffered greatly from Israel's being. They probably would have prospored along with Israel and their allies in stead of attacking them like cowards which just leads to more deaths of their own people in the end.

http://www.ifamericansknew.org/

There is not a single true word in that post.

"it's not like Palestine suffered greatly from Israel's being"

do you even know where Palestine is?

Haha.

I don't see any point in keeping this thread open, it appears that it is here only to bash.

Thread closed.
