Why is Israel allowed to kill Canadians?

Question

I like Jews and Israelis (BTW...Jews and Israelis are not the same thing..not all Jews are Israeli and vice versa)). I think Israel has a right to exist, and to protect itself

but it does NOT have a right to be a TERRORIST STATE!!!

We complain rightly when hezbollah does such things..so why not Israel It is acting like a TERRORIST...
Killing women a children!

Answer 1

ok... who says that?

Answer 2

While I don't know of any specific reason why Israel would kill Canadians, I've learned to distrust their habitual "It was an accident" explanation. Israel has told too many lies of that kind to ever receive any credit for truth telling about the people it kills.

When Israel attacked the USS Liberty in 1967, Israel said it was an accident. It wasn't. They tried to sink an American ship, but they couldn't sink it fast enough and the US Sixth Fleet caught them at it.

When Israel shelled the UNIFIL refugee camp in Qana during the previous invasion of Lebanon, Israel said it was an accident. It wasn't. A careful study by a Dutch officer working for the UN proved that the shelling deliberately targeted the UN refugee camp and murdered more than 100 Arab civilians, including women, children and babies. (There's a famous photo of a UN soldier handing a decapitated baby to another soldier to put into a body bag.)

When Israel fired a missile to destroy an ambulance full of children, also in Lebanon, Israel said it was an accident because the ambulance wasn't marked. This is also a lie. The ambulance was marked with the red crescent, and it had flashing lights on top.

When an IDF soldier murdered Rachel Corrie by squashing her with a bulldozer in Gaza, Israel said it was an accident. It wasn't. The soldier could see the young woman in front of his bulldozer, and not only did he run over her once, he backed back over her again just to make sure she was fatally injured.

So when I hear the Israelis say "It was an accident" after they kill some innocent people, I no longer believe them. Maybe once in a long while they are telling the truth, but most of the time, I think, they are lying.

You really have no concept of what a war zone is like, do you?

It is a tragedy when civilians are killed during a war. But it is also inevitable, and always has been. Israel has been attacked by neighboring countries and terrorist organizations who have vowed to wipe it off the face of the map. Israeli cities and villages are being bombarded by missiles and rockets.

The US was hit by a group of terrorists in 2001 and several thousand people died. In response, the US has invaded two countries and toppled their governments, in the process killing hundreds of thousands of people, mostly civilians.

Israel has been hit weekly by terrorists for the past two decades, and has killed hundreds (just hundreds) of civilians. Despite their best efforts to avoid civilian casualties. And despite actually issuing warnings to the cities they were about to attack.

Israel has said time and again that they are willing to stop their offensive if their kidnapped soldiers are returned and if the enemy will stop lobbing rockets into Israeli cities. Hamas and Hezbullah have responded with more threats and more violent escalations.

It's a tragedy when innocent civilians get caught in a war zone. But Israel didn't start this war, and they certainly didn't target any Canadians.

Answer 4

Good question. Why is it such a sin to say that Israel is so totally in the wrong here it isn't funny. Let's change the names for a moment and say it was France and Spain in the middle of this mess. Would the world think it was acceptable if Spain started bombing France because of the taking of one or two prisoners.
Hell no. The world would be all over Spain to stop the hostilities.
I was raised by a Jewish man so don't think for a moment to can throw the anti-Semitic tag on me. I'm not anti Israel, I just believe Israel is over reacting period.

Answer 5

Israel is not a terrorist state. That's a silly accusation made mostly by the terrorists themselves, a few fuzzy-headed dupes like you who support them, and politicians in the middle east who are trying to drum up public support.

Terrorism is the deliberate targeting of non-combattants and non-military targets in order to achieve a political, military, or economic goal. Israel's enemies have done that from the beginning, blowing up busses, hotels, embassies, restaurants, shopping malls, airplanes. These are for the sole purpose of hurting and terrorizing innocent victims. Israel has consistently attacked only military targets. You may not like its methods or its choice of targets, but it is just plain wrong to say that the Israeli response to terrorism makes Israel a terrorist itself.

In the context of an armed conflict, which is what you have in the middle east now, cilivians do get killed. Countries like the US and Canada can and do complain when other people's wars end up killing their own citizens. But it's not exactly like Israel or anyone else needs permission to go to war from every country that has citizens in the war zone.

Answer 6

Why didn't the canadians listen to the warnings Israel gave civilians before the attacks?

How many armies do that for civilians in areas they are going to attack?

Answer 7

People crossed the border, killed 4 jewish soldiers and kidnapped two others. At that point, any smart Canadian would have left the country.

Answer 8

Okay, three questions asked by the poster on the same subject in as many minutes and all inciting hatred.

Dora, are you trying to stir up ill will with everyone here?

Answer 9

I don't believe that Israel is allowed to kill Canadians or anyone else for that matter.

Do you not like Israel or do you not like Canadians?

Answer 10

They were Lebanese-Canadians, I think that makes all the difference. Go Israel.

Answer 11

That whole area is a war zone. Get out!
