You claimed nearly killing someone is as bad as killing them...i just pointed out for you that it isn't for the guy who didn't get murdered or his family or the other people who know him.

You're quite simply wrong.

FoxEye said:
... do I honestly need to spell everything out? Really, I'm sure you can put 2+2 together.

You said Hamas attempting and failing to kill Israeli citizens was "not as bad" as Israel, because Israel actually does kill Palestinian citizens.

It actually pains me to have to type this.

pains me to read it too...but look thats what you replied to

Anyway feel free to carry this particular convo on without me should you so wish.

An Al Queda group is on the Border of Isreal. Wonder if they are wanting to invade, that's probably the goal of these groups after all.

Hah, building materials, that is some draconian economics at play, i wonder if its Israeli cement?

Amazing.

Then to make it simple, if Palestinians stop "trying" to kill Israelis, then the Israelis could stop having to kill the Palestinians..

quick somebody ring the UN.

All they need to do to broker a ceasefire is tell them both to stop trying to kill each other.

Job Done. Crisis Over. Nobel Peace Prize to Wingman4415

Israel to take over West Bank land

Complex development, eh? Disgusting behaviour.

1000 bloody acres. Jesus! Looks like Bibi has a little trouble in trying to finance the recent war, costing over $2bn. I doubt it will be as difficult as the $6bn it will cost the Palestinians, and the 30 or so years it may take to rebuild with current restrictions.

Zero chance of that.

A thousand acres is a small price to pay for the death of three Israeli teens.

Israel would destroy Isis without a second thought.

Out in the open easily....get into their towns like they did in syria and it gets a lot more messy.

Could someone calculate how much land Israel needs to give to the Palestinians? We will use the same rate of 333.33 acres per death.

This Israeli land grab. Not a peep from the west as usual.

Do you think an invasion by ISIS would lead to positive or negative outcomes for the area?

Well it gives the women and children a break from being killed.
Doesn't answer your question but the above is good enough reason to want it.

There would probably be more interest were it not for ISIS doing much, much worse things, and Putin getting a bit nostalgic for the USSR
