Question

Why is the world protesting Israel's missle launches into the Gaza strip?

Answer 1

Look at the protests. A few thousand people made up and paid by the Hamas terrorist group is hardly the rest of world. Protests in London this week dwindled from 1000 to one hundred in a few days. Any protests are often made up of paid volunteers just to get money. Most are unemployed .What you wrote was completely true. Mosques get blown up and media find underneath two weapons factories !

Answer 2

THERE ARE NO STORIES BUT REAL FACTS . ISRAEL AND THE USA ARE ONE ENTITY LIKE FATHER TO SON..



THE HOLE WORLD FROM EAST TO WEST , NORTH TO SOUTH KNOWS THAT THERE IS A LAND CALLED PALESTINE CCU PIED BY THE ISRAELIS SINCE 1948 . SINCE THEN , THE ISRAELIS HAVE BEEN COMMITTING SERIES OF MASSACRES AMONG THE CIVILIANS: BABIES WOMEN CHILDREN OLD MEN AND WOMEN WERE SAVAGELY TORTURED TO DEATH, THOUSANDS OF HOUSES HOSPITALS SCHOOLS WERE ERASED. DOZENS OF U.N RESOLUTIONS AGAINST ISRAELS ARE BLOCKED BY THE USA AGAINST THE WILL OF ALL NATIONS.



YET THE PALESTINIANS ARE HELD IN WEST MEDIA AS AGGRESSORS AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONFLICT AND THE ISRAELIS AS VICTIMS.THAT IS TO SAY THE AGGRESSOR, THE INVADER, THE OCCUPIER, THE THIEF IS BECOMING VICTIM AND VICTIM WHOSE LAND IS STOLEN, UNDER OCCUPATION, TORTURED EVERY DAY IS BECOMING TERRORIST BECAUSE HE IS DEFENDING HIS LAN AND HIS FAMILY FROM THE INVADER..

THE PROBLEM IS NO WITHTH THE MEDIA FOR NOT TELLING PEOPLE THE TRUTH BUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH PEOPLE WHO FEAR TO CON DAMN THEIR MEDIA FOR NOT TELLING THE TRUTH... AND MAKE NO EFFORT TO KNOW THE TRUTH ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE ALL THE MEANS.

IT 'S A STRANGE WORLD WE ARE LIVING IN ; THE CRIMINALS CONDEMNING THE VICTIM HYPOCRISY IN IT 'S MOST SORDID IMAGE.!!!

Answer 3

ever theory through fact They of course locate that isreallis are incorrect?? If Isreal can not comprehend then thier is a few thing incorrect with them. Cuz the full international think of they are incorrect in killing Palestinians that have nothign to do with the conflict. i will placed up a great *** answer for you yet then thier isn't any factor. The Isrealli jews have broken thousand of treaties thats why we had to kick them out of our arab lands. before everything they had to return from the North while thier became the large drought.. yet then After that they stayed in egypt... And while the Pharoh got here.. all of them went to Palestine for cover.. considering that then.. they think of its thier land.. and that they shop killing all human beings different Palestinian in thier. awaken human beings.

Answer 4

well if by the rest of the world is the arab and muslim states then yes they will protest wont they to keep the faith

but as far as i know most people agree that Hamas caused the problem here by rocketing Israel and was warned on numerous occasions to stop they did not and israel retaliated as any normal country would

but the arab and muslim states whether right or wronly always supports there own they hate Israel totally

Answer 5

Hamas deliberately targets civilians and wants the annihilation of Israel and non-Muslims, followed by Israel's replacement with an Islamic theocracy. Anyone who opposes civilian deaths MUST oppose Hamas lest they are hypocrites. Israel does not target civilians but some have died in the incursion into Gaza. That is sad but if Hamas had their way it would be far worse.



The most damning case against Hamas is their own founding document and videos.



The Hamas Charter (their central document) calls for the death or exile of all non-Muslims in the area, taking over Israel and replacing all of it with an Islamic theocracy through violent means only:



"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."



"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. "



"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."



Hamas also promotes radical forms of Islam through the indoctrination of children.

Answer 6

bush loves the hell out of israel. they're his pet project, hes not going to say that they're the agressors,

Answer 7

If Israel was killing only Hamas fighters then no one would protest. Whats causing all the trouble is the women and children who are dying.



I realise that Hamas is rocketing Israel but so far they have only killed four people (only four, what am I saying). Whereas the Israelis have killed hundreds, with a significant proportion being children.



Essentially Israel needs to target the Hamas fighters more carefully.



As for the "kill them all let god sort them out" attitude that some people on YA have, consider yourselves expelled form the human race. I realise that Hamas teaches children that Israelis should be killed, does that mean we should kill all the 5 year olds who have been taught this?

Answer 8

No Hamas are the aggressors in this specific instance, but the reaction of Israel is disproportionate and self-defeating.



In addition Hamas is the result, not the cause of Israeli defense policy. Let's face it, Israel could easily (and at less cost than a full scale incursion) surround Gaza with chain gun missile defence with overlapping fields of fire and shoot down any rockets fired within 2 km of the Gaza border, but political expediency means that, domestically at least, whipping Hamas takes precedent over humanity and forbearance.

Answer 9

common sense,civilians are being killed.

Answer 10

In this case Bush is right (and I hate that sob). Hamas and Hezbollah are the aggressors, and they are the pawns of other countries who want to destroy Israel but are too scared to do anything directly.

Answer 11

If you look at the statistics for the last 7 days, 450 Palestinian dead (a quarter of them civilians) to Israel's 4, and the horrible injuries and starvation that follow, you start to see what the rest of the world is angry about.



The Gaza Strip is not big. There are no 100% military targets. So collateral damage has been catastrophic. They knew it would be, yet they bomb anyway.



And why are Israel doing it now? They want to nip the war in the bud now, now that Hamas have a significant military disadvantage. The trouble is, Hamas will not stop.



Israel believes it is defending its people, however, all it does is invite more attacks upon itself.



And alan m, please do you research - "A few thousand people made up and paid by the Hamas terrorist group is hardly the rest of world. Protests in London this week dwindled from 1000 to one hundred in a few days. Any protests are often made up of paid volunteers just to get money. Most are unemployed"



WHAT?



The ACTUAL news -

Tens of thousands of demonstrators have been protesting worldwide against Israel's military operations in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Protest in London

About 10,000 people joined a rally in London,. Organisers of the London protest said it was "just the start of the campaign"

The biggest rally was in Paris where more than 20,000 people gathered.

Protests also took place in Brussels, The Hague, Amsterdam, Ankara and Cyprus.

In Israel itself, tens of thousands of Israeli Arabs staged a protest against Israel's actions in the town of Sakhnin. One politician, Jamal Zahalka, said it had been the biggest demonstration by Israel's Arab minority in the past 10 years.

Answer 12

First of all Israel was called Palestine before 1948. The UN gave the Palestinian country away to the zionist jews who were migrated to Palestine, most of them long before WWII. From the day that Israel was founded till today there has been aggression from both sides. Both sides are driven mainly by feelings of impotence, fear and hatred against the other party.



The actual impotence of the Palestinian people is obvious. Although Hamas does have some weapons, these are peanuts compared to the actual military force of Israel. 99% of their light and inaccurate missiles don't even hit anything you might consider as a "target".

Hamas has no real army, no tanks, no planes, hardly any bomb shelters. The Gaza strip is a tiny crowded place. There is simply no opportunity to stash their missiles anywhere else than in populated area's.



Israel controls 99% of all imports and exports to and from Palestinian area's, including water and food. And even in more peaceful times they constantly restrict these causing bad harvests, malnutricion, disrupted economy, poverty, hardly any medical care.



Yes there are casualties on both sides. But the number of Palestinian civilians killed in thee clashes is on average about 100x higher than on Israeli side.



Unless Israel finally allows an actual free and independent Palestine, peace is impossible.



But agreed, I wouldn't like to get one of Hamas' peanuts on my roof.



update: Weird, my answer may not be the best, but it is one of the most neutral so far. and I get 4 thumbs down? While clear anti-Israel and anti-Hamas answers get less thumbs down?

Answer 13

, Israel slaughters civilians of Gaza to gain control of this area (I’m sure that USA Medias tell their audiences that Israel attacked Gaza for defending its civilians but the fact is quiet different) and gain popularity between Zionists all around the world.

Israel blocked all humanistic aids to Gaza (including food, fuel and even medical equipments and medicines) for more than 3 months and from 6 days ago, they attacked Gaza with all their power, within last six days they massacre more than 460(including Kids!) and injured more than 4000 civilians in Gaza, note that borders of Gaza are still blocked and hospitals of Gaza neither have enough medicine and medical equipments nor enough place to take care of injured peoples.

In return Hamas attack Israel because this was their last choice, because no one forced Israel to stop the siege of Gaza in last 3 months and no one forced Israel to stop massacre of civilians in Gaza within last 6 days.

U.S government says that Hamas broke the truce and now Hamas should stop attacking Israel but the fact is that when Israel siege Gaza for more than 3 months, this is no longer truce, it is like suggesting you to whether die of hunger or die by our missiles.
