some days ago the IDF was telling us how nasty it was for Hamas to hide weapons in places of worship and that is why such places can be bombed with impunity. Surely they did not know about their predecessors doing the same

Be sure to hide all the evidence before the EU and the UN hurts your feelings again. We don't want to make trouble for the people trying to kill us.

now, who uses relegious places to cash arms ?

So small an arsenal can only belong to a member or two at the most. Orao..

Where have I heard this one before?

I remember they were pointing out that the mosques bombed had arms in them.

Now if Israel can only clean out the old and failed politicians who follow the failed 2 state solution and annex Judea and Samaria.

and firing weapons from a mosque and then shouting outrage when the IDF shoots back.

you are pathetic losers if you make an argument based upon something that occurred 60 years ago with no proof of who or how they got there.

How easily fools are swayed by media propaganda. Even if the story is credible, it doesn't excuse Hamas' tactics of using mosques as weapons' caches. Note that Al Qaeda did this in Fallujah too.) Pointing an accusing finger does not excuse Muslim extremists for endangering the lives of others.

it's amazing to see how many arabs read ynet, and post talkbacks! all of a sudden, "the jews did it too" is an argument to justify using mosques for military purposes. no, the question isn't whether only arabs store guns in mosques - the real question is why do arabs complain when israel bombs a mosque that is clearly being used for military purposes, not only to store weapons, but to fire them as well? and the answer is that, under international law, the responsibility for civilian injuries lies with the side that located military facilities in a civilian area. in other words, israel is perfectly justified to attack military units firing from within mosques (or schools or hospitals), and it is the terrorists who are responsible for the consequences of their own, illegal, actions. they should be prosecuted for their war crimes at the hague. "true moslems" should be lining up to condemn hamas' crimes, not defend them!

More than 6 decades later, the Muslims still do it- and nobody else does.

Israel doesn't have a problem with hamas or any of the fanatics you support to keep their arms in a religious place. The problem is that Israel keeps claiming that's where the weapons are being stored and attacks them bringing complaints and outrage in the arab world. You claim the arms were planted there, or there were never any to begin with. As far as I can tell, this is more humorous than shocking. Arabs are copying Jewish strategy even 60 years later:) Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery! Thank you for proving what we already knew.

there might be if IDF bases were based in synnagoges and we complained of "The Horror" (tm) when you bombed them. We bomb a mosque with a flak cannon, rockets firing, and terrorists in it and you act as if it was religiously motivated. However, you bomb synagogues on purpose knowing that only innocents are inside. Still a big difference.

Those arms were used to defend ourselve against arab bands , not to kill innocent civilians as hamas does from mosques .

When you're between a rock and a hard place, you do what you can. (Winning a democratic elections didn't help.)

So what????? How many synagogue muslim destroy? Noby cry, just you...

so do you think that the arabs have a right to bomb this synagogue becouse there were weapons stored in side

The fact that virtually every nation was created through conquest or population displacement is lost on Palestinians and their supporters. Only Israel is held to be "created in sin" because, well, such is no longer done. And certainly not to *us*! But throw in a story like this and suddenly it becomes "precedent" for today's Hamas behavior. There's a word for such selective outrage. Hypocrisy.

Mmmmmm how interesting!

Drugs were found stashed in a false ceiling in a synagogue. Today weapons and tommorow?????

How do you know they were not firing from the synagogue at the time? Were you there? If not the shut the F up!

These 60+ year old weapons were found in a supply shed adjacent to the synagogue. It's not even clear this was a synagogue 60 years ago or that these weapons were fired anywhere near the synagogue. You and your pet Marco are desperate to distort news about Israel and desperate to insult Israelis. Were any missiles fired from the synagogue into Gaza?
