You assume that they wouldn't just open fire on ciillians, even though they are quite clearly willing to inflict all maner of sufferng on them that prompted 100 UN resolutions. If they were firing at a rocket launcher then they must have had reason to believe there is a rocket launcher there in the first place, or why are they firing at it? Clearly if the Israelis believe that they are right, they must have the evidence that prompted them to fire in the first place. What is that evidence? Clearly from the responses so far, simply declaring that there was a rocket launcher is all the proof most people need. Hence they have the option to attack civillians, claim they were millitants or standing next to a rocket launcher and most people would go along with it. That isn't proof that there was no rocket launcher, but Israel simply declaring that there was one isn't proof that there was one either.M.O.A.B wrote:
Here's the major difference, the Hamas launchers often set up and fire and disappear before any cameras arrive. Whenever the Israelis attack, its often media covered and it will be documented and explained by the Israelis themselves. So there's not exactly going to be cold hard footage of the rockets being launched. Its impossible to know where they're going to be in order to film them or take a photo jsut for proof. My neighbours car is on the drive right now, that doesn't mean it wasn't there. They wouldn't just open fire on civilians, they would have had a reason to fire on that beach.PureFodder wrote:
Erm, I see no beach front or children dying, hence I don't believe this is the same incident for some odd reason. I see no civllians around, so there's every reason to believe that this was fire from an empty building. Show me proof that the there was rocket fire from the beach and I'll believe that incident. Without proof'll assume there wasn't. It seems like a reasonable standpoint.
As we've seen Israelis use human shields too.
The Israel haters will never accept such evidence. If it was presented the sentiment would still be " if the evil jews weren't there they wouldn't be getting rocketed. " or some similar nonsense.
Why don't you prove it was unjustified?
The Palestinians have have many chances at peace, yet always embrace war.
Too fucking bad for them.
