Missile attacks by Islamic terrorists on Sderot in southern Israel, but they are not taken seriously?

Question

Islamic terrorists continue to bombard southern Israel with rockets. But the facts are suppressed. Mostly these attacks are described on Israel Government radio and Israel Army Radio in terms that remind one of a weather report.

Insanely, Israel's Deputy Defense Minister declared on Friday that "there is no solution to terror and the missiles from Gaza," as if this is some kind of natural phenomenon.

On Thursday night, the staffer of the new Sderot Information Center for the Western Negev filmed the missile attack and its aftermath in real time. People running in all directions. A pregnant woman and her little girl being carried to an ambulance. Glass crashing in the stores that were hit.

But you won't see this film on the media.

Why not

Marksatgu thinks that Israel is illegally occupying Arab land, which is a common fallacy.

In fact, Israel pulled out totally from Gaza in the summer of 2005. The optimistic intention and hope was that the Palestinians would build a self-sustaining society in Gaza, using the profitable hothouses left by the Israelis.

Instead of this, the Hamas and other Muslim terrorist groups immediately began daily bombardment of Israel with Qassam missiles, targeting the innocent Israeli civilian population.

Now these terrorists have been "successful" and killed one Israeli woman and seriously injured an Israeli man.

Clearly, the Israel Defense Forces have the capability of flattening Beit Hanoun, the town from which the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists have launched hundreds of missiles.

Why does Israel not flatten this part of Gaza to stop the murderous attacks? What other military action should Israel take to defend its citizens?

The notion of "occupation" of course evokes imagines of Occupied Paris, or Occupied Berlin, after the war. It implies no justification for the claims of the power with the military presence. But the claim of Israel to the lands it took in 1967 are based, for the Sinai, on the standard rules of post-war settlement, the rules which have obtained for centuries, whereby a victor in a war of defense keeps what he has won. If the Israelis chose not to, or were forced not to exercise that right, it does not mean that the right did not exist. It did, and it applies even more forcefully to Gaza and the West Bank. But the claim there is not based merely on the successful conquest of territory to which otherwise Israel had no claim. It did have a claim, a claim based clearly on the Mandate for Palestine -- and like all the other League of Nations Mandates, was formally accepted, taken over as it were, by the United Nations when it came into being. This is a matter of record. It cannot be undone.

Dear Tinkerbell, do you purposely distort, or do you believe what you say?

In fact, Israel returned Sinai to Egypt, the only piece of land that came into Israel's hands as a result of the Six-Day war that had a sovereign to return it to.

Judea, Samaria and Gaza was part of no sovereign state, so that there was no country to return it to, even if Israel had wanted to.

Tinkerbell, please try to remember that and don't make the same false argument again on Yahoo! Answers.

All the territories the Israelis now possess are theirs by legal right -- the right conferred by the League of Nations Mandates Commission, when it carefully defined the territory which would be set aside, from the vast territories in the Middle East that had formerly been in the control of the Ottoman Turks as part of their empire, and which had been won by the Allies.

An Arab State, a Kurdish State, and a Jewish state were all promised. The Arabs got their state -- no, in the end, they got far more than their s

The Arabs got far more than their share: 22 members of the Arab League, the most richly endowed with natural resources of any states on earth, enjoying the fruits of the greatest transfer of wealth in human history The Kurds did not get their state, because by the time things had settled, Kemal Ataturk was driving a hard bargain and would not permit it.

Tinkerbell, please try to remember that and don't make the same false argument again on Yahoo Answers.

The Israelis may be performing individual actions against Muslim terrorists who are "ticking bombs" on their way to explode themselves with lots of Israeli citizens. The world is much better with these Islamic terrorists dead before they can perform their murderous works.

But the Israelis have indeed declared that they are maintaining their ceasefire with this occasional minor exception, while the Muslims terrorists in Gaza continue their massive attacks on Israeli civilians unabated.

And one more thing, Tinkie, these are not militants; they are terrorists, and they threaten the Saturday people today, and they will go after the Sunday people next.

So, Tinkie, please do not quote fantasy and call it fact.

Answer 1

First of all, there is no such place as Palestine.

It is also nteresting that your respondents misunderstand international law and never read UN Resolution 242.

1. UN Security Council Resolution 242 calls on all parties to the conflict to negotiate a solution

2. It anticipates that Israel will withdraw to secure borders (not specified in the resolution) in exchange for peace guarantees from the Arab parties

The Resolution was carefully worded to require that Israel withdraw from "territories" rather than "the territories." This construction, leaving out "the," was intentional, because it was not envisioned that Israel would withdraw from all the territories, thereby returning to the vulnerable pre-war borders. And any withdrawal would be such as to create "secure and recognized boundaries."

It was widely recognized that the balancing of the ideas of a territorial return with "secure and recognized boundaries" for Israel would mean that Israel would not be forced to withdraw from 100% of the land captured in the June 1967 war.

It appears that the only way to stop the missiles launched by the murderous Islamist terrorists will be a massive invasion of Gaza and the seizure of all weapons and ammunition by Israel.

Answer 2

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has ordered a resumption of military strikes against Palestinian militants firing rockets from Gaza into Israel...and it is very much talked about in the media...
As for what you said about Israel not occupying land,well under international law,it does...and it's illegal...Israel should have returned the land in 1967,but when did Israel ever respected the law?

Sinai is not the only territory occupied in 1967,as you well know.There are UN resolutions calling for Israel to withdraw from all the occupied territories during that war...and there is a specific resolution asking for Israel to withdraw to the borders before 1967 and allow Palestinians to have an independent state(1397/2002)...

Answer 3

IDF will in no way win militarily in the Gaza strip... all israel can do with the IDF is besiege that little plot of land. the respond is in helping Fatah, and a properly-liked revolt in Gaza against the HAMAS. you could kill HAMAS and all its leaders, yet no governing physique in Palestine will ever be valid adequate, till that physique replaced into good from the blood of Palestinians, by employing and for the Palestinians. Oh... and the missiles could no longer hit the moon with HAMAS at the back of the launch button... Israelis choose no longer hassle.

Answer 4

Israel's own court jester, Shimon Peres, made fun of the terrorized residents of Sderot with his remark "Kassams, Shmassams"

Answer 5

your questions way to long and theres propaganda on both sides so u dont really know whats true. i think its wrong when u say Islamic terrorist attacks, would u say Jewish terrorist attacks?? its not a religion thats attacking innocent people its the sick people. innocent people on BOTH sides are being killed. There is no such thing as a terrorist because what would the 'terrorist' say about the other side?

Answer 6

Because in christian America, the majority of people believe that the Israelis are "gods chosen people". The quickest way for the missiles to stop is to return the land they occupy. If you can't show me a notarized deed, then god didn't give it to you.
