All the stuff I've seen from him on this issue has been reasonable and balanced.

It's more accurate to call it ethnocentrism and nationalism.

Piers Morgan is surprisingly reasonable and balanced in all this.

I would be selling t-shirts with my face on them.

Guys, just be patient and wait for news to get verified before you start making accussations. It's unclear yet who caused this bombing. Also, consider, when you jump to accussations and all this moralizing you are contributing to the kind of attitudes that result in endless conflict. If people on this forum cannot stay objective and sensible, how can you ever expect either the Israelis or Arabs in the Middle East to do so? They have a lot more at stake than you. And yet we expect them to be sensible, moderate, and tolerant. Take responsibility for the conflict you create.

Looks like Israel is gonna create a PR disaster for themselves here. If they are gonna bomb hospitals they gotta explain why.

As a Child of Darkness, I am offended.

Nope

I think Israel's policy at this point is to drop a bomb on anywhere they see a rocket fired from. I wish Israel was more transparent on why they bomb certain places. It's impossible to tell if they are actually hitting Hamas or just random buildings. How do they choose where to bomb?

Is it possible Hamas fires rockets from a hospital?

Yes

But in WW2 the fight was with state actors who could be forced to sign surrenders and treaties. It was not a suicidal insurgency situation.

The only thing they could really do is bomb less from the air. The million dollar question is, How effectively can they really eliminate Hamas? Will a ground invasion even do the trick? Or will Hamas reform as soon as Israel pulls out? In which case, the situation becomes unsolvable. The problem with Hamas, unlike say, Nazi Germany or Japan, is that Hamas will not do an unconditional surrender because they are suicidal.

The Christian is selling both of them guns.

How are Palestinians ever going to recover their homes? They mostly live in high-rise condos. Once that building is bombed, it won't be built back for many years. Recovering your home there will be impossible because even if new buildings are built they will not be identical to the old ones and probably more expensive than the old ones. So it effectively becomes another dislocation/Nakhba situation. This is not like farmland which you can easily return to.

The problem of terrorism requires a laser-targeted approach. Shooting wildly in all directions ends up serving the terrorists. The problem is that Israel shoots wildly, creates terrorists, those terrorists lash out, Israel is hurt and blames the terrorists, shoots wildly at them, hurts many innocents, which creates more terrorists. And the cycle just feeds itself.

I would have more Rolls Royces.

Just switch to English. Later you can introduce parts of other languages.

There are still limits to their ruthlessness. One would hope.

I wonder if any of their leadership actually thinks like that. Frankly, it's hard for me to think like a diehard nationalist. It's such a grotesquely biased way to think.

Destroying that many residential buildings itself starts to feel like a war crime. 1 million people will be left homeless, jobless, schoolless, mosqueless. Total humanitarian disaster. How many terrorists will this create?

Didn't take me 13 years. But be careful. That many trips will put in you dangerous waters.

Solution: Catapult dead skunks into settlements.

I say everything is Good.

2 Jews and 2 Muslims walk into a bar... 50 years later they are still fighting.
