Should Sen. Payman resign?, page-19

obviously I don't support Hamas.

I agree and have never denied that Hamas committed a terrorist action against Israel. more to the point it was a savage and murderous incursion.

but the obvious disgusting actions of Hamas have not been raised as an issue. many recognise the Hamas crimes, and many also recognise the Israeli crimes against the people of Gaza.

and given the recent care and concern the Israeli govt is now taking with reducing "collateral damage", its obvious the IDF were told to murder as many Gazans as possible up to the point when Netanyahu was threatened with arrest and indictment for crimes against humanity.

they could have taken this level of care and concern from the start. instead they chose to:

• confuse the people of Gaza where they could be safe,
• deliberately fired upon innocent people,
• forced a corralling of Gazans into a crowded corner,
• deliberately withheld water, energy and food, medical care and foreign aid from Gazan people

and much more murderous practices.

this places the actions of Hamas into a perspective and IDF atrocities amount to much more severe and cruel than anything Hamas did to provoke this war.

meanwhile grouchy plays stupid trolling games with what posters write.
