There is the key word 'retribution' ...
"punishment inflicted on someone as vengeance for a wrong or criminal act".
In other words it's a 'justifiable' retribution, the fact that Israeli are outclassing them on the battlefield is just a case of 'never underestimate your opponents'.
What wrongs did the children on either side commit to deserve vengeance? Remind us all again ....... who started it? |

The cycle of violence must be broken or this will carry on forever. Peace was doing quite well until Hamas decided otherwise. |

Think the unthinkable, the World can not put up with this never ending conflict, there is NO solution but One, it will take a very courageous person to make that call.

Hamas are fundamentally unwilling and unable to do so.
To claim that as an equivalence is to claim a false equivalence.
There can be no peace when one side's sworn aim is to wipe out the other.
Hamas are exactly like the Nazis.

It's all about land grab, religion is just a smokescreen... here's one glaring obvious reason
The Israeli diamond industry is one of the world's centers for diamond cutting and polishing, amounting to 23.2% of all exports. As the country is relatively poor in natural resources, it consequently depends on imports of petroleum, raw materials, wheat, motor vehicles, uncut diamonds and production inputs.
** the reason of most crimes are passion and money, in this case it's 'money'.

Can someone explain why the deliberate massacre of 1200 innocent men, women and children is not a terrorist attack? Which one? The Hamas one or the IDF one? Happy to call them both acts of terrorism. now you are being daft - you are better than that. |

The BBC has called the events of last Saturday "A Massacre" and they have called what happened as "Murder", but its not good enough for some people.
Some people want the worlds MOST RESPECTED news organisation to be one sided, to take a particular side in this long running conflict.
The BBC is not aligned to the British government ( of any political persuassion ) and neither should it be, ever.
Every day, someone, somewhere is outraged that the BBC does not take their particular side
