Have US college students been radicalized ?

@BohemianBoo Gee, if they acted like human beings instead of animals ya think they might be treated better?

@sunsporter1649 that knife cuts both ways

@BohemianBoo If I encourage or just allow terrorist to hide in my basement and fire rockets from my rooftop I don't think I would deserve to be called a victim if my house gets bombed. This is not the same as with victims of NAZI atrocities by a longshot.

@BohemianBoo and that is the argument many in israel take - they all must be affiliated with hamas in some way, if not now, they will be, so there really are no civilian deaths. What they don’t understand is Hamas uses the exact same logic. “There are no civilians in israel because they are all affiliated with the idf, or will be some day, and those are the ones that stole our land.”

Idf has killed babies and pregnant mothers, too - just for the fun if it,

On 6 November 1948, Nachmani wrote: "In Safsaf, after ... the inhabitants had raised a white flag, the [soldiers] collected and separated the men and women, tied the hands of fifty-sixty fellahin [peasants] and shot and killed them and buried them in a pit. Also, they raped several women..." After listing alleged atrocities in other villages—Eilaboun, Farradiyya, and Saliha—Nachmani writes: "Where did they come by such a measure of cruelty, like Nazis? ... Is there no more humane way of expelling the inhabitants than by such methods?"[6]
Moshe Erem reported on the massacre to a meeting of the Mapam Political Committee but his words were removed from the minutes. According to notes of the meeting taken by Aharon Cohen, Erem spoke of: "Safsaf 52 men tied together with a rope. Pushed down a well and shot. 10 killed. Women pleaded for mercy. 3 cases of rape ... A girl of 14 raped. Another four killed."[7]

@Heartlander ... VERY well said

... there are [b]36[/b] Hospitals in the Gaza Strip - Gaza Strip is 25 miles by 17 miles - why so many hospitals in such a small area ... it's because the Terrorists are using them to store weapons in etc etc - and they build them under hospitals so retaliatory strikes or bombing of the hospitals will cause International outrage ... this is the mindset of these flea bitten rats

@Heartlander So if a pack of terrorists hides in a school, and the staff is unable to neutralize the terrorists, the military should just bomb the school?

@BohemianBoo The students should then abandon the school and get as far away as possible. If the terrorist prevent the children from leaving and hold them as hostage the school neighbors should rush in and skin the terrorist alive. At the very least they should call the world attention to the terrorist in the basement.

@BohemianBoo They are not bombing the school; they are bombing the terrorist who have chosen to hide in the school. Whether to defer bombing because of the children or not depends on the significance of the threat that the terrorist will continue launching rockets at you unless destroyed. This is morality 101. The harm to the children is caused by the terrorist. Bombing Berlin in 1945 no doubt resulted in the death of innocent people, but the blood was on the Nazi's hands, not the hands of the B-29 aircrew. To not bomb Berlin would have likely resulted in the death of many more, possibly including the families of the aircrew that bombed Berlin. For Israel to not target the terrorist hiding in the school means that the terrorist would be free to continue launching rockets from there into Israel and kill more Jews and others living in Israel.

If there are thousands of Palestinian lives lost it's a result of Terrorist using them as human shields.

@BohemianBoo The children aren't the target. The intent isn't to hurt the children, or the doctors and nurses in hospitals. The intent is to destroy the terrorist who are putting the children in harms way as well as putting Israel's children in harms way. Unless the terrorist are destroyed they will put more children in harm's way. Why are you defending terrorist who intentionally put children and the innocent in harm's way? To follow your logic the US should not have responded to Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor; the British should not have responded to Germany's attacks. Israel responded to an assault by Hamas who hid behind children.

@Heartlander [quote] They are not bombing the school; they are bombing the terrorist who have chosen to hide in the school[/quote]

I see so they fire homing missiles at schools packed with innocent children, whereupon the missiles start meandering through the corridors, gently telling the children to move aside please, before making their way down the stairs, knocking on the door, and then administeriing a fatal shot to the heart of the “terrorist” in the basement, with no collateral damage.

But no-one cares because all Gazans are terrorists, even the babies (if there are any left in Gaza by now)

@Heartlander ...i believe it was Netanjehu that said:

"If Arabs lose a War, there will be no PEACE, if Israel lose a War, there will be no ISRAEL"

@Heartlander let me get this right. Did you just justify the nuclear bombings? Wow!! Such people really exist and they thrive in these forums!! Just wow!!
