The exercise was not in response to any current specific tensions in the region, according to the IDF.

It has no relation, the IDF says so. Surely they can't by lying! /sarcasm

Suspicious how training exercises sometimes turn up in real life very shortly after or simultaneously as the real world occurrences

Yeah so basically Hamas has been shooting rockets at Israel every day for like 10 years, right? So then the US comes over and is like "sup bro we're gonna teach you how to defend yourself" and they run a bunch of exercises and then Israel goes and kicks Hamas' ass. Everybody lives happily ever after.

The end.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Israel is neither mature or brave in this conflict. I just hope innocent people don't die in your happy ending.

I'll leave happy ever after when someone smothers you with a pillow in your sleep you apologist cunt.

hahaha you mad terrorist sympathizer? so funny how a group of people from a so-called "liberal" community support the hyperconservative thugs who wouldn't think twice before hanging you from a lamppost for your beliefs.

you're on the wrong side of history, friend.

you're on the wrong side of history, friend.

We'll just have to see, now won't we. Last time I checked, the world opinion is against Israel, that's why they had to create its own online army to sway the public their way... in other words, more lies about what Israel is doing. Are you part of the megaphonie cunts? You like that your government tells you what to say as if you didn't have a brain of your own.

Last time I checked, the world opinion is against Israel

lol

Obama: Israel has 'every right' to defend itself from Gaza attacks

Canada's Harper Says Israel Has Right to Defend Against Attacks

The U.N. chief on Friday urged Hamas to end its rocket attacks on Israel and told Israeli leaders to exercise maximum restraint.

maybe Hamas should get the message and quit being aggressors, then Palestinians could live in peace as they currently do in the West Bank.

Really? Obama and Harper represents the world now? LOL indeed. How many U.N. resolutions did Israel break - 65. Took 63 less for Iraq to get invaded. Also, quoting random shit? OK.

Is that worldly enough for you? Even the entire EU agrees they're terrorist pieces of shit, plain and simple.

The people, I'm talking about the people. Fuck the politicians! Why is Israel have to convince people they are the good guys by changing the online opinions? If the truth doesn't stand on its own two feet, it isn't the truth.

I don't know what you're talking about. Perhaps you should look into the blatant lies that Hamas spreads. The human shields Hamas uses, the children they kill so that they can point Western cameras at and blame it on Israel.

BTW YOU CAUGHT ME I'M A ZIONIST HASBARA SHILL. I AM GETTING PAID 5 JEW GOLDS PER POST. JUST CHECK MY COMMENT HISTORY, YOU WILL HAVE TO ADMIT, THAT IS A LOT OF JEW GOLDS.

AMA

Really? You're going to bring out the human shield argument? Since you're so keen on posting wiki links.

MAYBE IF HAMAS DIDN'T PLACE THEIR MISSILE SITES NEXT TO MOSQUES AND SCHOOLS, CIVILIANS WOULDN'T BE DYING, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Some more reading for you, shill.

OF COURSE, ANYBODY WITH RATIONAL THOUGHTS THAT DISAGREES WITH YOU IS A SHILL.

AMA, I AM A SHILL.

You'll probably get a kick out of this.

Fuck Hamas.

“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons.” -Golda Meir

Just say fuck Arabs and nuke the whole fucking region, you know damn well you have the capability, the same capability you accuse some of the countries in the region of striving to obtain, shill.

Indoctrinating children into the religion of hate at such a early age. Israel is truly ahead of its time.

You must be so proud of your leadership. They'd make awesome Nazis with such disregard for human life.

You are just jealous you are not one of the gifted people.

~HATERS MAKE ME FAMOUS~

IF THEY HATING, YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT

hahahaa you sure are gifted. I bet you mommy tells you you're special. Here's a news flash, that typically means you're retarded.

I know precisely where this entire subreddit's inferiority complex stems from:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jewish_intelligence

Wow, you sure feel superior.... it's almost as if Jews were the master race.

We are, u mad? Now go post some more Hamas propaganda, or talk about tap water or whatever it is you people do.

Done and done, and you pay attention to your megaphone, you never know when your government will ask you to spread more lies. Must be nice not having to think for your self, especially with your high intellect and all.

At least one Jew gets it right.

Some interesting tenets of the Hamas charter.

Death to all Jews

Article 7: The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews. (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).

Support for Jihad

Article 8: Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.

Opposition to any Israeli state

Article 11: The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. Neither a single Arab country nor all Arab countries, neither any king or president, nor all the kings and presidents, neither any organization nor all of them, be they Palestinian or Arab, possess the right to do that. Palestine is an Islamic Waqf land consecrated for Moslem generations until Judgement Day. This being so, who could claim to have the right to represent Moslem generations till Judgement Day?

Opposition to diplomatic solutions

Article 13: Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement. Abusing any part of Palestine is abuse directed against part of religion. Nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its religion. Its members have been fed on that. For the sake of hoisting the banner of Allah over their homeland they fight. "Allah will be prominent, but most people do not know."

Further support for Jihad

Article 14: The day that enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In face of the Jews' usurpation of Palestine, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised. To do this requires the diffusion of Islamic consciousness among the masses, both on the regional, Arab and Islamic levels. It is necessary to instill the spirit of Jihad in the heart of the nation so that they would confront the enemies and join the ranks of the fighters.

I'm sure partisan had strong resentment towards Germans as well... stop the occupation.

The occupation of what? There was never any country called Palestine, and Israel withdrew from Gaza years ago, so what exactly is being occupied, might I ask?

Meant blockade, and lets stop building settlements on stolen land while we're at it. Do you even care what the U.N. says about those?

All caps? Am I getting to you, shill? BTW, our definition of rational must differ immensely. I'm guessing yours has a lot to do with make belief.
