(59,020 posts)You won by firing rockets from populated areas knowing full well that a hothead like Netnayahu would send the troops after you, causing the civilian deaths you knew would happen. Even more brilliant is how you got much of the world community to ignore how you goaded this conflict to begin with. Bravo.

(86,004 posts)"A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear, and mutters through his teeth, "Stand and deliver, or I shall kill you, and then you will be a murderer!"
At Edwardsville, Illinois, on September 11, 1858, Abraham Lincoln said:
"What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence is not our frowning battlements, our bristling seacoast, the guns of our war steamers, or the strength of our gallant and disciplined army. These are not the reliance against the resumption of tyranny in our fair land. All of them may be turned against our liberties without making us stronger or weaker for the struggle."
"Our reliance is in the love of liberty, which God has planted in our bosoms. Our defense is the preservation of the spirit, which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere." Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your down doors."

(10,597 posts)... it's coming out of Israel. I want to believe it, but Israel isn't always good at keeping it's word.

(269,101 posts)The host asked a Lieutenant from the IDF if it was true that Israeli troops were still on the ground in Gaza.
He said they had all left. Then in response to another question he said 'that's why we left troops ...caught himself and then said the troops had withdrawn from Gaza but were surrounding Gaza in case they were needed.
It was a classic gotcha moment.
All LIES, all the time. I'm finished with Israel.
