According to Unix, it's all Israel's fault because they started it. Either by the nation coming into existence (bastards, how dare they!) or perhaps because Judaism was founded first.Comment

Though Israeli children were killed in the conflict during the decades prior, the first acts of Palestinian violence specifically targeting large numbers of Israeli children were committed in the 1970s.
The Avivim school bus massacre was a terrorist attack on an Israeli school bus on May 22, 1970 in which 12 Israeli civilians were killed, nine of them children, and 25 were wounded. The attack took place on the road to Moshav Avivim, near Israel's border with Lebanon. Two bazooka shells were fired at the bus. The attack was one of the first carried out by the PFLP-GC.
The Ma'alot massacre in May 1974 involved a two-day hostage-taking of 115 people which ended in the deaths of over 25 hostages. It began when three armed members of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) entered the Netiv Meir Elementary School, where they took more than 115 people (including 105 children) hostage on May 15, 1974, in Ma'alot. The hostage-takers soon issued demands for the release of 23 Palestinian militants from Israeli prisons, or else they would kill the students. On the second day of the standoff, a unit of the Golani Brigade stormed the building. During the takeover, the hostage-takers killed the children with grenades and automatic weapons. Ultimately, 25 hostages, including 22 children, were killed and 68 more were injured.
The Dolphinarium discotheque suicide bombing was a terrorist attack by on June 1, 2001 in which a suicide bomber Saeed Hotari, linked to the Palestinian group Hamas, blew himself up outside a discotheque on a beachfront in Tel Aviv, Israel, killing 21 Israeli teenagers and injuring 132.
The Mercaz HaRav massacre, also called the Mercaz HaRav shooting, was an attack that occurred on March 6, 2008, in which a lone Palestinian gunman shot multiple students at the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva, a school in Jerusalem. Eight students and the perpetrator were killed. Eleven more were wounded, five of them placed in serious to critical condition.
Other terrorist attacks targeting children included the Itamar attack in which six children and their parents were murdered in their beds, including a three-month-old infant, and the 2011 Shaar HaNegev school bus attack in which Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip fired a Kornet laser-guided anti-tank missile over the border at an Israeli school bus, killing one child.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostIt is a simple question what should the Israelis do?
I will help you out here.
Not retaliate and just allow rockets to be fired at them
Blow every Palestinian off the planet (holiday in Magaluf maybe)
Pay Insurance money
Kill one palestinian for every Israeli killed.
The original point was that if the Israelis laid down their arme they would still be attacked by arabs. if the Arabs laid down their arms there would be peace. You don't seem bright enough to conceptualise this beyond your entrenched position of disliking the Israelis.Comment

Originally posted by saptastic View PostThe attack that killed those kids is beyond a tragedy. And Israel have said that it is a terrible mistake. (A bit worthless but they acknowledge). But Hamas have killed children, have stated many times that Jewish children (not just Israeli) are a legitimate target and fire thousands of rockets randomly into Israel. So its only luck and weapons at their disposal that they haven't killed children this time. Additionally Hamas should have agreed to the ceasefire a day prior. Whilst you cant justify these errors, I think you need to be a bit more balanced rather than emotional one-sided one liners.Comment
