Only if fired at from Gaza , either act is irresponsible as both acts kill .

Re: Palestine Israel

it's ok to say you have no context and you're forming an opinion with little or no evidence based on a predetermined belief.

Here's the Snopes analysis of the specific story

There is also a clip of the couple .. you can find a translation online.

The only thing not verified is where the Israeli/US couple, who now occupy the house, are from

Latest updates: May 21

- Israel-Hamas ceasefire came into force in Gaza early on Friday

- Israeli police stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and fired tear gas at Palestinians celebrating the ceasefire after Friday prayers

We all welcome the ceasefire but that usually is the point when the media stops watching. It shouldn't be.

when the article says

"how do you feel living in a house built on the wreckage of his house?"

this would indicate the Jewish couple are not living in the house of the Palestinians, but in a newly built house that is on the same site as the Palestinians' former house. Do we know why the Palestinian's house was demolished? The article does not say, and we both know its not a good idea to speculate in matters such as this.

I will speculate for you

The Israeli government and a sizeable proportion of the citizens it governs are arrogant bullies who continue to encroach on Arab land

And one eyed religious fanatics who don't care as they are backed up by the huge Jewish lobby in the states

Thats about it really

I remember the Jewish society in college had a stall during freshers week and they were handing out leaflets about the mistreatment of Russian Jews. Let's just say some of the Palestinian support group were told they were not welcome when the Jewish societies double standards were pointed out .

I'm not sure how your anecdote is relevant to the current conflict but there you go

I like your posts. And you, like me, are one of the oldest serving members of this board.

But I think you are in denial as to the Israeli policy of settlements which is done at the expense of Palestinians.

The anecdotes are that the Israeli government and its citizens are , on the whole , bullies

As are those who vociferously support Israeli policy in the middle East

No I'm not in denial. I'm well aware that Israel encroaches on area C (or it it area A) in the West Bank and they build settlements - this is pretty much common knowledge.

I was asking about this one particular case in point. Just because I wanted background and context on this one example doesn't mean I'm oblivious to the wider issue.

How do you think the Israelis should behave when a fair proportion of its neighbours want to see it destroyed, so much so they have joined forces to attack it twice in living memory ?

Get better defences

If you are living in someone's house and they want you out , which is understandable , you make the walls thicker

What about the tunnels, the kidnappings, the rockets? How does Israel defend against those?

if Britain had responded to northern Ireland terrorism with air strikes, killing hundreds of children there would not be peace in northern Ireland today.

Thats because the British would be firing on British citizens if they did that.
