Why israel is killing children in Gaza? Why is the world being silent about Israel doings?


Insofar as the current Mideast situation is concerned, the conflict was born when under the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the British - then the imperial power in the region - made what is today Israel a homeland for the Jews. This being affirmed by the United Nations Organization after World War II.
As to who may stake an ultimate claim, under international law, the area was divided into two states, but the Arab states rejected this and attacked. In the end, the attack failed and the whole area became Israel and the Arabs who lived in the region considered themselves to be occupied.
As to who has the historic claim, it is lost in the mists of time. Strictly speaking the Jews arrived in the region well before the Arabs. The Arabs not arriving in the Middle East until 636 AD - long after the Jews had settled the region. The Jews themselves having not been native to the region but having arrived from the Semitic tribes of Mesopotamia in about the 2nd millennium BC.
Suffice to say, a problem with that historic an ancestry is not apt to be settled by appeals to the historical record, much of which is obscured in the mists of time. The twist being that a PALESTINIAN people - as opposed to more generic Arab peoples - is a recent invention. Born primarily in the 20th century as an outgrowth of - in another irony - European imperialism.
Thus, Palestinian national identity is relatively thin gruel and why, in fact, it has become less of a force in the Middle East. Indeed, it is why the Palestinian cause is now led mostly by pan-Islamist forces - see also HAMAS. Pan-Islam being a forced that defines identity not in national terms but in religious ones.
The further irony being that after the Palestinian nationalists supported Iraq against Kuwait in the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War, the Arab states began to abandon the Palestinian cause. Such today that the principle benefactor of the Sunni Muslim Palestinian Arabs is Shiite Muslim Persian Iran.
Thus today, the current fireworks in the Middle East is more deceptive than not. The Palestinian cause - as a nationalist cause - is largely dead. Being more akin to a civil rights movement than a nationalist cause. The Arab states have largely abandon it in favor of peace with Israel as a counterweight to Iran.
The Palestinians, never having had a deep sense of national identity, are recurring to a more general sense of Arab and Muslim identity. In this the Iranians are backing them largely as a way to pressure their Arab rivals - particularly Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan, the latter two of which already have peace treaties with Israel.
Suffice to add that if Saudi Arabia - keeper of the Muslim Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina - were to make peace with Israel, it would likely split the Muslim world wide open. Particularly along the Sunni/Shiite divide but even within Sunni Islam.
As it is Saudi-Israeli ties are actually quite good as both strongly oppose Iran. The Saudis however being understandably reluctant to formalize those relations in a peace treaty, though negotiations are ongoing. It is these negotiations against which the current exchange of fire between Israel and HAMAS in the Palestinian Gaza Strip is aimed at disrupting.
CONT.
In a nutshell, this is less about Palestinian national identity - which is fading - than it is about Iran's conflict with the Sunni Arab world. The predominantly Sunni Muslim Arab Palestinians finding themselves in an alliance of convenience with Iran, and in effect being Iran's catspaw. It being added that unless things get wildly out of hand, the Arabs are apt to sit on their hands and let Israel and Iran settle the matter over the Palestinian's heads.
Beyond that, it is worth noting that HAMAS deliberately places its missile launchers and other equipment in civilian areas. This thereby assuring that for the Israelis to fight back they must target densely populated civilian areas. What this says about the way the Palestinians treat their own is best left to wiser minds to discern.
wait ! Did i ask about the historical base of the conflict ! You are answering another question man !
Okay , about your actual answer to the question.. How large do you think Gaza is? Gaza is a small area over condensed with population ! There is no place for Hamas to go away from civilians ! and they are all under a nasty israeli siege ! Lol , you can be more forward and ask Hamas to NEVER FIGHT back?
Your question is rather pointless absent some broader understanding and context. Moral posturing and nostrils flared is not a substitute for historical analysis. So I thought to offer the context from which the current conflict arose.
As to the last part, Gaza is small - though not so small that Hamas could not launch its weapons from thinly populated areas and thereby avoid civilian casualties among their own people. (We will ignore that they are shooting at women and children on the other side of the border.)
It is highly unlikely that the issues that have led to this conflict will be full resolved. That is not the way of human affairs. However, there certainly is no chance if the starting point for the discussion is righteous indignation absent any intellectual understanding.
Historically this is Israel's land - And even afterwards - From 1945 to 1948 israel had NO army in so called Palestine - they just bought their homes and their land and Palestinians gladly sold it - The same way saudis are buying lebanon the same way China is buying africa.
Moreover than that - What you see as "children" - they see as people who are used by other people under the guise of innocence to try to kill them - I mean you can assume Palestinians are dumb - which they are - but make no mistake about it - they "preferably" use their women and their children in acts of violence because when the world sees it they see the result without the context - If a kid is taught how to use arms or has a grenade or is just throwing rocks - He's a threat to your survivability - when you see a threat you take it down - that's all there is to it.
And if anyone thinks I'm just biased and I don't know wtf I'm talking about - I spent my childhood in Southern Lebanon - I know how these maniacs think and it ain't pretty at all - Most of them are covert terrorists - Selfish gains with a higher cause alibi.. They tried to overthrow the jordan government in 1973 they failed that's when Jordan signed a peace treaty with Israel - As I said dumb hypocritical entitled covert terrorists..
Because Hamas is using Gaza's civilians as cannon fodder. Hamas hides and launches rockets from schools, residential areas, and hospitals. Of course if Israel fires back there will be civilian casualties. It's war. It's not good but it happens. I also don't think Israel is great either. The recent stuff with the mosque that started this recent issue was definitely not right. Also with Israel being a relatively new country in a hostile environment, it should be expected there is war. Every single country has been formed through the blood of many innocent and not so innocent people.
So are you suggesting Israel shouldn't strike back? They should keep getting their cities bombed? Keep in mind that those cities also have children.
If you so think Israel shouldn't defend itself, why in your opinion is it ok for Jewish children to die?
How do you think a country should respond when someone is bombing their cities?
About the pic that you posted, what do you see in that picture?

I haven’t followed the events too closely, so correct me if I am wrong but:
- Hamas, a terrorists group supported by the Palestinian people and Iran, launched rockets indiscriminately into Israeli towns.
- Hamas deliberately set up their positions in Palestinian neighborhoods
- The Israeli Army artillery is located in empty fields and not in civilian neighborhoods
- The Israeli Army and Air Force attacked the Hamas Rocket Launch sites and positions which again were purposely put in civil neighborhoods
- Now people claim that the ones that started the fight, Hamas, and the Palestinians are victims because Israel had to attack the rocket sites to stop Hamas from killing Israeli citizens. Because Hamas has set up their rocket launch sites in civilian areas, civilians who did not evacuate have been killed.
- And now Hamas says it is a War Crime… but it’s obviously been done on purpose by Hamas as they cannot fight in the open as they will get annihilated so they cowardly use civilians as shields and dead civilians as Public Relations win. Dead babies for a PR win since the terrorists can’t fight Israel otherwise… I guess that is why they are called terrorists.
- What is surprising is that so many stupid people are falling for this paper thin sham. I think many of those people know the truth though… they can’t be that dumb.
Well, i don't like or support Hamas in any way ! But first , the whole escalation started by israel kicking out palastinian families by force from their houses in Jerusalem , when they protested, they got shot and arrested..
Second, how large do you think Gaza is? Gaza is a small area over condensed with population ! There is no place for Hamas to go away from civilians ! and they are all under a nasty israeli siege !
And third , if you think you are not following , don't give up your opinion so fast , and don't rush to call others stupid !
For your last point, Hamas put their rockets in civilian neighborhoods deliberately and it is a sham then to cry war crimes. If I was there and saw a rocket site near me, I would move my family no matter where we had to go. They aren’t bombing sites without Hamas. I would even take living in a tent if I can get food and water.
Hamas caused the dead civilians because it is effective to shore up their base and because they cannot survive on the battlefield in the open. You are their base. I don’t give a shit one way or the other and so I can call it as I see them.
The courts and fighting before hand are just a continuation of decades of fighting. That was not the beginning, it was once again just a continuation.
A world where a nation takes EVERY potential threat against them seriously, including children? Well, it's not like their neighbors have ever used massed waves of children as mobile minefield-clearers, now has it? And armed them with sharpened sticks, trusting that the enemy soldiers would hesitate to slaughter children? No, there's never been a war between Iran and Iraq. And Israel certainly wouldn't've paid attention to it, or to any of the previous times its neighboring nations have tried to attack it.
If Israel has become a monster, it's a monster that Palestine helped create. Why were Palestinian suicide bombers killing children in Tel Aviv?
Because palestinians use guerilla tactics, and hide their fighters between women and children to create confusion and problems to more civilized people for what regards beginning an armed engagement.
Too bad for Palestine, Israel is tempered by literal centuries of warfare, and no target is too high or sacred to be spared, for they know that the children and women in those units could be also armed.
Middle eastern people are famous for their ability in the guerilla warfare tactics. Israel just grew accustomed to it, and cares not anymore.
israelis are greedy, heartless, stupid, ugly. those who back up and support israel are puppies, they let Israel did such things because Israel is rich and controlling most white people's countries to avoid Israel making chaos in those countries and let those Israel to stole Palestine's land. those who doesn't know the real history would support Israel. even some Israelis knew the truth about themselves.
@liel443 you should learn more about histories than listening to bunch of fake news
Basically all countries that bomb in civilian areas, i. e. basically most of the Western world, have killed children. The reason for this is that it happens in armed warfare in residential areas.
Countries have an obligation to take precautions and to their best knowledge attempt to not kill civilians. But it happens frequently because best knowledge is not perfect knowledge. Also, mistakes do happen.
This happens in basically every armed conflict held in residential areas, so it’s not particularly special it happens in Gaza. It happens in Mali by the French, the Dutch, Belgians, British, Aussies and Americans do it in Syria/Iraq/Afghanistan.
It’s sad, but it is an integral part of any armed conflict that civilians do die in residential areas. So it’s not that surprising that other governments say that Israel should limit innocent deaths as opposed to denouncing them over killing innocent people because they all realize it does happen in armed conflicts, even if you try to limit it.
Everyone saw Hamas fire the rockets randomly into civilian neighborhoods after several families lost legal battles in court. Can’t be sympathetic for terrorists even when they use their own children as human shields… I’m not a big fan of how property rights work in Israel, but if you randomly fire rockets at civilians and the military bombs your ass I’m thinking you got what was coming to you. Some people just have to learn the hard way.
I remember a Palestinian guy I grew up with who spent 2 years in jail in Israel before coming to America… He thought is was outrageous and extreme oppression that he’d be put in jail for chucking a giant rock at a Jewish person’s head like that’s just normal behavior and it shouldn’t be punished. That’s how kids are raised in Palestinian communities. If you raise your kids to behave like that and they get put in the ground then you’ve failed as a parent.
Why is Hamas killing Israeli children? Why is Hamas deliberately using Gazan children as cannon fodder and intentionally getting them killed? Why is the world silent about Hamas using civilian areas to launch rockets at Israeli civilians (an act if war)? Why is Hamas using civilian homes and buildings as launch sites for rockets and as weapons depots? Or for bombmaking?
The world is not being silent, but the United States has a long history of backing Israel, right or wrong. That has allowed Israel to act in ways that thwart peace in the region, and that also get the U. S. in trouble, as we have too often backed Israel, when they have taken over land and dispossessed Palestinians. The we wonder why terrorists don't like us.
Why is the PLO killing men, women and children with the 1,600 rocket attacks in 3 months? Why is the world being silent about PLO doings? My solution is the total removal of all "Palestinians" from the West Bank to Al Qaser in Jordan and from Gaza to Al Arish in the the Sinai. Let America and Israel pick up the tab for creating new communities for 5.4 million people. There is no future as a two state solution because the Palestinians will never stop killing Jews.
Why do people think Israel is a shooting gallery and its ok to send as many bombs as you want and blow Israel Babies?
Why do everyone in the world blame Israel for all their problems?
Why do all the countries try to make the smallest country even smaller?
Most of the people in Gaza, are kids. Israeli has a shortage of kids, and a rather old and workshy workforce.
The world doesn't want to interfere, but it will eventually stop providing arms to the occupying state of Israel.
The USA won't stop arming and protecting them !
I'm not convinced that Israel is killing children. Even your own picture does not support what you are saying.
I think a much more interesting question would be why would Hamas militants be using their own people, including children, as human shields? What civilized and humane nation does this?
The kids in the picture look absolutely terrified!!
Yea they do ! What else would they feel !
Fake news
what do you mean?
Your picture.
Both sides are killing each other and they always will be.
There's no solution to this problem, so I don't even see why so many are addressing it.
Yea it is fake news , since Israel has never killed children ! Sorry , my mistake..
Don't be a drama queen. I said your pic was fake as fuck, and you know it.
Now why don't you show some Israeli children blown to bits?
Lol , you wanna justify killing children.. pretty obvious
Do you live in Iran?
Do you live in Israel? Are you a true zionist?
say anything against isreal and you are called an anti semite. we aren't all silent about it though
It stupid even to call it that ! Anti jewish would make more sense
Rather ironic, given that "Semite" is a linguistic group, not an ethnic or religious one- and that probably a higher portion of Palestinians than Israelis qualify.
@NamerOfStars and @asker the problem is that common sense elludes media rhetoric. if either of you know uk politics you would have seen the smear campaign against the former leader of the opposition because he dared to bring the subject up in our parliament
The preceding scene, where the little pukes were throwing rocks, is not shown. The trooper is showing remarkable restraint just holding them in custody and not shooting them.
Why arabs fire rockets on jews and use arab childrens as shields?
https://www.youtube.com/embed/tN1MkAGuVyYIsrael is a military stronghold for western countries in the east which Is why it has a better standing.
As far as I'm concerned both countries governments are to blame
The USA is backing israel
That's my point?
I privately messaged you?
Right
The sides hate each other
Israel is genuinely trying to kill off the Palestinians in both Gaza and Israel
In the same way the discoverers of America killed off the native Indians
There is an irony in the fact Israeli ancestors were victims of the Holocaust genocide and are now perpetrating the same thing on Palestinians
Do you live there? Has your family been impacted? If not, shut up.
If yes?
Then go fight your own war and stop getting others involved in your conflict that has lasted for thousands of years. The rest of us want peace; we get that you don’t, but dont make it our problem.
You know, if “yes”.
Lol , no body asked you to fight or answer here... i mean you could just ignore the whole thing
Nah doing that drew my country’s politics into this bullshit after WWI. So now we’re fighting an uphill battle against misinformation on both sides that is polarizing my people.
Or you can just get lost , as you are extremely retarded !
Probably similar concept to why male lions kill baby male cubs, because they pose a threat later in life.
Photoshop skills: 0%
However, not too many people 'like' Israel' :)
Because hamas use them as shields.
Why are palestinians purposefully targeting civilians far away from any military target?
... uh huh. Because you’re definitely not misframing images to suit an ideology, mhm sure. We all believe you. ( -_-)
Because we’re religiously and geopoliitcally tied to Israel.
They wanted the land and they thought that the arabs were asleep but boooy they were wrong.
As for the UN, it's not like this is the first time they turned a blind eye.
Terrorist propaganda from Hamas. Moving on.
The world is not being silent about it at all.
multiculturalism is a failure here and in the USA
to the degree of killing women and children? That is a crime !
no multicultural society in the histroy of the world has ever been at peace or survived
Still , when you do a crime , you pay for it
I don't disagree, but who fired the first shot?
The one who started kicking civilians out of their homes in jerusalem?
Israel has every right to defend itself
By killing children?
Both countries are to blame
