The ugly truth!
What news are you watching? Seriously? I keep looking for those “Israelis are victims” broadcasts and all I keep finding is lousy “Palestinians are victims” ones.

seriously can someone explain me why is isreal and gaza in war??
I, myself, support Israel, but assuming you know nothing of the issue, I will try to be as neutral as possible, and give you facts instead of opinions. I apologize if I fail, since this is not a simple task.
Quick briefing of history- Jews started setteling in the land a few thousand years ago. Their history there, although bery interesting, is irrelevant, so I’ll cut to the chase- the area was conquered by the romans some two thousand years ago, the jews rebeled, and the romans exiled them. some settled in the arab world, some in europe, and for most of the time between then and now they lived in isolated communities, keeping to themselves. Meanwhile, in the land the romans called “Palestine” (the phillistines were ancient enemies of the jews), arab nomads began to settle, and build homes. Now, in Europe, people had begun to distrust Jews, and then hate them, a phenomenon known as “Antisemitism”. Toward the end of the 19th century the hate reached a breaking point, and many jews fled beck to the land of Israel- their ancestral home. Most of those who stayed in Europe died in the Holocaust.This created a very unpleasant state of affairs- two different nations, one homeland. So when the British mandate has ended, and the officers withdrew, the land was left with a British partitoion plan- a map, dividing the territorry between Jews and Arabs. The arabs did not agree with the plan, so on the next day they attacked the new State of Israel, in what Israelis call “The War of Independence”, and Arabs call “The Naqba”- meaning, the disaster. Anywho, Israel won, bigtime, and took the entire area to itself, although many arab settelment remain, mainly in the areas known as “The Gaza Strip” and “The West Bank”.
for the sixty- some years that followed, Israel was in constant war. I could go on and on about territories taken, territories given, occupation, disengagement, but the thing is, Palestinians want a country, Israel wants to survive.
So nowadays, as liberation attempts, constant rocket fire is directed from gaza towards israeli towns in southern Israel, and israeli fire is directed at Arab rocket launchers, in which many Palestinian casualties occur (this is the part where most people would argue with me, but I’m just delivering what both sides claim). From this point on, you could have endless debates on who’s right and who’s wrong, but that’s pretty much it for dry info.
I hope it helped.

Opinion on this Gaza Israel mess?
I’m kind of sick to my stomach at the moment, you truly must be inhuman to kill another human being let alone children, I will never understand this world.
You might understand if you stop believeing to everyone on tumblr and in the media and looking for the actual facts.

Oh, you know: PSA for you "edgy" people out there If you say things like “both sides are at fault” or “I just want peace I don’t care about who’s doing what” then I have a PSA for you: You’re not being edgy or cool. You aren’t saying the wise thing. You are suggesting that standing up against a colonial apartheid system is the wrong thing to do….
“I have an opinion, and I’m don’t know anything about it so I prefer blaming anyone who doesn’t agree with me with being a Nazi idiot. Shut up. No, shut up.”
people like you make me smile.

L I O N E S S.: It has become our duty to spread real awareness on the Arab-Israeli... stuckbetweeniraqandahardplace:

It has become our duty to spread real awareness on the Arab-Israeli conflict, it is now our responsibility to shed light on what is really going on. Because now one thing is for sure, the media is not representing the real situation now, and as usual the news is only showing one “victim.” Israel.
“Genocide”????
Excuse me, darling, but if Israel gets bombarded with 200+ Palestinian missiles (That they probably got from Iran, Syria and Lebanon), while doing absolutely NOTHING, I assume that you’re a little bit underestimating ”poor Gaza’s” power.
We are sick and tired of terrorists bombing our cities all the time. We want to live a peaceful life as much as the citizens of Gaza.
THE ARMY IS ATTACKING ONLY TERRORISTS AND MISSILE LAUNCHERS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD BLAME YOUR PRECIOUS HAMAS FOR PUTTING ROCKET LAUNCHERS NEAR SCHOOLS AND HOUSES OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Furthermore, the army even handed out sheets of paper with fair warnings about coming attacks, in order to prevent the cost of spare human life.
You should be focused on a way to stop terrorists from doing their business, and by that less people will get hurt.You’re excused for your weak argument, darling. And you’re about to see just how wrong you are.
First of all, Palestine does not throw missiles, they throw rockets. It is your precious Israel that throws missiles. Want to know the difference between the two? The rockets that are thrown barely makes any damage, and hardly ever results in casualties or the loss of human life. However missiles have explosive warheads on top of it, which leads to the destruction of neighbourhoods and the deaths of many.
Am I underestimating Gaza’s power? Or have you completely missed the part of how Gaza is occupied by Israel? You do realise the Gaza blockade is what is essentially leading to a famine, constant power cuts, and not a steady supply of water? Gaza has far too many domestic issues to even try and override Israel’s power. Haha, Gaza has no power sweetheart. You should try your best to remember that.
If the army is only attacking terrorists, then please tell me how an 11 month old was killed. Explain that to me, how is it that a little 7 year old was killed? Or a 13 year old boy was shot dead? And other numerous innocent victims? As far as I’m concerned an 11 month old cannot be a terrorist.
And aww, how considerate of the IDF! Sending a warning to families that they are about to be killed, before they kill them. Now again, please inform me on how these papers can stop the result of innocent human lives considering they don’t include warnings on when they will be bombed?
You should condemn your governments actions, and call for them to stop, and even when you do it won’t stop anything. But the least it will do is make you a human.
Your’e right. Absolutely. There are far more Palestinian casualties than Israeli ones. Not to mention the fact that Palestinians fire rockets, not missiles, because they aren’t actually planning on hitting civilians, they just want to play Who Throws Bombs Further with Israel, as a friendly competition. Very enthusiastic players, to boot, firing thousands of them every year just to make the friendly competition a little more challenging.
But now seriously. There is no denying that Israel is far stronger tha Gaza, no one is saying that. This does not make it OK for Palestinians to continually bombard israeli settelments. Palestinians die more than Israelis do because this is a war, and because whenever Palestinians attack Israel retaliates, and more efficiently that they do. If Israel wants to wipe out Gaza so bad, why doesn’t it just go ahead and do it? there’s no denying that it is able to. Instead, we deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza (yes, we do), and attack missile launchers that Hamas places in schools. Palestinians may die from it, and yes, It’s sad, but Israel has every right in the world do defend Its citizens from a similar fate, and had Israel stayed quiet in all this time, there were no people in southern Israel by now, and Tel Aviv would have been a ruin. Not only that many kids in Israel have died too from constant attack, many can barely leave their homes on behaf of all the alarms, let alone go and throw rocks at Palestinians.
