Atin

It is not a meaningless statement at all. Hamas have been deliberately using civilians as human shields since at least the second infatida. They have publicly admitted as much on numerous occasions going back to 2008. They use mosques, hospitals and UNRWA schools as weapons caches and launch sites.

You do know that Hamas has been firing missiles indiscriminately since February 2002. How many other countries are expected to just put up with being attacked on a near daily basis for two decades?

I think we are too far now from the generation that fought or grew up during WW2. I hope we aren't doomed to repeat it.

Until this round of war it was Israel's official position for decades. The big hold up on the two state solution was that Hamas in particular has never agreed to recognise Israel.

There are no settlers in Gaza. There are in the west bank, but fuck those cunts.
