Quote: "the majority of Israel's population .. found itself running for shelter on a daily basis" etc etc. I supported our army's actions from day one until the end of the fighting. The trouble is that THE OCCUPATION is a cancer which is destroying Israels support in the world. Why cannot Jews accept the fact that non-Jews, who do not have an emotional attachment to Israel, are upset by the suffering of Palestinians. As for comparing Hamas to ISIS as our prime minister now does daily, this is ludicrous. ISIS wishes to establish a state on as much territory as it can. Hamas, like the Jewish organisations of pre-state Israel, Etsel, Hagana and Lehi, wants to establish a Palestinian state alongside Israel in territory which all the world recognises as theirs.

Media should check and make sure that videos and photos are not staged if possible and if not sure not to air it And if journalist are thretens tell them to come back media should know the same type of videos pictures of ambulances near hospitals same old thing carring children from the ambulances it works to get sympathy for Hamas and hate for Israel Israel should invest in MEDIA war and prove to media every time the staging and lies hard work but Palisinians been doing it for decades and they are good and better then Israel at this it's going to be very hard work and media will take notice

their lesson when ISIS will get to them - which is sooner than they'd like them. Then they'll wake up and realize who the terrorists are.

How can Jews "occupy" their own land, unless you believe that the land of Israel consist of Tel Aviv only and the rest should be shared with non-Jews who should create their own state there? Suffering of Palestinians? You're not serious, are you? First of all, these group of people were invented in 1967. Until then they were Arabs like all the rest of 'em. Second, if they're suffering, they should just go back home to Jordan or to any of their 22 Arabic states where they'll end their "suffering". Israel is a tiny state meant for Jews. There's no reason Israel has to take in all suffering non-Jews in the world.

Pal you're barely afloat depending on handouts from Germany and US not on your industrious know how - One day you may find yourself with your hand in the bed-pan instead in my pocket and that will be the end of your so called 'thriving' ,... There're signs at every park entrance reminding us not to feed the animals and birds living there, those signs are there for a reason - Dependency kills ,...

BBC's partial improvement seems too little too late. About the only thing a reasonable Israeli (if there are any) trusts British media about is pictures of the Royal Family. The rest isnt even on the degraded level of 'lies, damn lies, and statistics.' Not even on the level of Haaretz, the New York Times, or the US Government's assertions. Well, they are a notch above the stuff coming out of France 24 (and its Euro colleagues) at least sometimes. No one will complain if they keep publishing the pictures of Kate and William and the Queen ... they seem the most realistic and nice part of Britain.

I saw "Dead for Hamas", the only valable and courageous headline for all these images, in a Brazilian review, VEJA. All others mention the number of civils casualties of an Israeli attack. And we know that very few read anything else than headlines.

How do you turn into a "victory" the slaughter of an unarmed resistance by astrong military. Jews can.

Like giving them trips to Israel (from Gaza) they will believe that Israel belongs to Arabs.The more you kiss their shoes the more Jews will be hated. Let make absolutely clear: 95% of Arabs support Islamic State (IS). The other 5% do not have TV and ca not read.

Your self-righteousness and arrogance is so deeply embedded in your mindset you simply don't get it just like the Titanic orchestra that played to the very end convinced that their ship is unsinkable - This kind of blindness can happen to a mouthpiece of arrogant army that have a country not a country that have an army. Just couldn't help yourself with that shabby 'reminder' that "Israel is by far the most stable, democratic, human-rights oriented society in the region" ... Comparing to which society or country? To those that we messed up as your proxy? By the way none of those countries pretend or claim to be a western democracy or belong to western civilization ,...

Really listen! They themselves state that their goal is the annihilation of Israel and the Jews! They refuse to consider the “two-state solution”. I dare say that they know better what they want than you think you know what they want. You’re not listening to them. Israel is.

The arabs are the example of the orchestra, ignoring their own threats of annihilation of Israel, with the PA and Hamas playing good-cop (relatively), bad-cop. As is your usual, you have it backwards. And the reminder that Israel is the only democracy in that part of the world is not shabby at all. You ignoring all that is what is shabby. Unless you don't live in the US as you claim. But then again, everything else you claim isn't true either.

What are you talking about? Hamas wants to destroy Israel and replace it with a Palestinian state. Not only that, Hamas also urges and preaches the annihilation of the Jews anywhere on earth. Read their charter

It's a cumulative effect of 47 years of occupation and a gradual realization in the world that Israel prefers to be an apartheid state to finding a peaceful solution.

As per usual your post is pure BS.Why don't you run your mouth over a cliff.Where the heck did you get your post name Wes?Did some one split your brain?

The problem that you state is not that there is any occupation for 47 years.... you have to remember that Jordan occupied the West Bank and Egypt occupied Gaza until such time as both launched a war of annihalation against Israel and LOST. Until 1964, there was no such thing as a Palestinian. That moniker was invented by the PLO with the sole aim of destroying Israel. Apartheid???? You have to be kidding. Israel is the only multicultural country in the Middle East. 20% of it's inside the green line population is Arab as full citizens with the same rights as anyone else. It's the only middle eastern country where the Christian population is increasing, where the Bahai faith has its main temple and where Druze are full and equal citizens. If you're a Jew or Christian you can't even live in Saudi Arabia or Jordan... now THAT is apartheid.

You call 10,000 missiles and other sophisticated weaponry "UNARMED"? You must be joking. By the way, Hamas( the resistance, not) started the war.

who is under the beating stik is not like the one who counts the beating -- but both is related to --beating -- not running in street or sporting

Israeli arabs vote, are represented in government, sit on the Supreme Court, and go to the same hospitals as Jews to be treated by the same Jewish and arab doctors. Hamas has stated that their goal is to annihilate Israel and kill all the Jews. Apartheid? yes, but it is Hamas. You show how much you are immersed in your own wishful thinking. Facts win every time.

I don't believe that you are Jewish and your post is nonsense.The so called occupation should be directed to Arabs and people like you that should not be in Israel..

Arabs constitute around 20% of Israeli society, what's their percentage in Knesset ? ,... Can they rent an apartment in certain towns and if not, then why not? ,...

Arab citizens of Israel have been elected to every Knesset, and currently hold 12 of its 120 seats. The first female Arab MP was elected in 1999. Democracies do not guarantee membership by percentage of population. Some towns do not want to admit arabs; this is going through the courts. But no democracy is perfect. How many Jews would be permitted to live in Gaza or the WB if it was up to the arabs? None would be permitted in the government. None would be permitted in an arab hospital. None would get out alive. But why don't you respond to what arabs can and do do in Israel? Because you can't. You're afraid to admit facts that you don't like. Israel is a democracy. The surrounding arab countries are not, whether you agree or not. End of story. You lose again.
