1. Iran wants Iraq
Rami ,   Helsinki   (03.28.17)
Muslims of both sect want a Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with America on what is left of Iraq. Central government in Iraq is extension of Exxon and mullahs. Iranian media mostly focus on air strikes done by US when it rarely mentioned civilian casualties in that sunni city.
2. The irony of it all is that
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (03.28.17)
ISIS uses a truck bomb that gets targeted killing hundreds of human shield civilians and the main stream media blames USA.
The Huti's use human shields and the main stream media blames the Saudi coalition.
Russia drops heavy bombs and the main stream media blames Russia.
Hamas uses human shields refusing to let civilians move to safe areas or fails to provide them with any form of bomb shelters even though they are experts at tunneling, and the main stream media blames Israel.
3. This guy nailed it. The Israel double-standard.
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.28.17)
What the rest of the world gets away with, Israel gets crucified for.

Now why is that??? Coalition forces kill Muslims and nobody says a word. ISIS forces slaughter anyone they want and nobody says a word.

But when Israel, trying to defend itself, kills a Muslim, the UN gets involved, the EU gets involved, heck, even petty south American dictators get involved. Now why is that??
4. Hamas has *already* rejected demilitarization
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (03.28.17)
"Israel should initiate a dramatic, far-reaching proposal to end the blockade on the strip. The formula should be reconstruction in exchange for demilitarization."

Surely Yemini must know that Israel and foreign donors proposed exactly that in the aftermath of the 2014 conflict. Hamas said no. They are unwilling to give up their rockets, their arms stores or their weapons factories. Nor will they dismiss their soldiers and disband their militias. Just in recent weeks two Israeli ministers offered to permit the construction of a seaport and airport in return for demilitarization. Such offers thus far have earned Israel no greater consideration from the feckless "international community".
5. Aint it the truth?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (03.28.17)
I guess that's the price of success.
Israel can't lose and the pals can't win and anti semitism is an old hatred not easily extinguished.
No matter, G-d chose Israel the rest is hubris.
KEEP BUILDING !!

Why? The UN has a Muslim majority that even has a special section reserved for the 'palestinians' that's why. Watch for some changes .

8. Yes, and the U.S. led air strikes weren't war crimes either.

9. What about ISIS Truck Bombs??
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (03.30.17)
Are the Truck suicide bombs placed next to
incarcerated human shields not worth mentioningð゚リᄈ
