Sanders calls Israel's siege on Gaza 'a serious violation of international law'

Well I’m glad to hear more people stating the obvious. Well done Bern.

Religion has not done a lot of good in the world lately. Turns out the "my way or the highway" approach creates nothing but death and violence.

Bernie being on the right side of history as usual.

At least someone has common sense

I just got done watching PBS News hour Brooks and Capehart segment and, wow... Talk about completely one-sided. As though viewing this event in isolation without recognition to the broader historical context. Basically drooling over Netanyahu.

When will people learn that radicalization doesn't just manifest out of thin air...?

It's genocide. It's hate for hates sake. All for the benefit of a few rich old men.

If a law carries no punishment, is it even a law?

Seems like more a set of guidelines that people are free to ignore whenever it suits them.

Even when international powers would force the place into two countries the fighting will never stop. Because both don't have a country and want one and both ground their claim on religion. The religions are incompatible. Hamas consider Jews as the enemy of Allah quite literally.

Jews were pushed out of countries and killed and therefore promised land. So land was simply taken from a torn place that couldn't protect itself. Palestinians are also pushed out of countries and killed and want their land back. The Brits just left them with this conflict because they couldn't handle it. And now probably no one will be able to stop Israel anymore because they were given the better hand in terms of weapons.

Asking either side to stop won't work. Ban religion instead. They could both live there.

The Abrahamic religions are poisonous. They hold humankind back, retarding our growth in every way. They breed suffering and cruelty and death.

How come nobody is mentioning how President George Bush is the guy who fucked up Gaza?

The Day That Bush Took Gaza

April 25, 2004

President Bush’s embrace of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s plan for unilateral Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip is going to turn out to be more than a mere gesture. Sharon’s radical initiative would evacuate all Israeli settlements and military positions, unilaterally, within the next 18 months...de facto responsibility for what happens in Gaza once Israel withdraws will fall to the United States. That’s the hidden meaning in the president’s letter of assurance to Sharon saying that the United States will lead an international effort to build the capacity and will of Palestinian institutions to fight terrorism and prevent the areas from which Israel withdraws from posing a threat.

One wonders whether Bush really appreciates what he is getting himself and the United States into. Having trumpeted his support for an independent Palestinian state, he is now taking on responsibility for ensuring that the Gaza mini-state created by Israel’s withdrawal does not turn into a failed terrorist state.

It’s too on the nose when religions claim they are coming in the name of peace yet they continue to leave a bloody trail. Yes, I condemn Hamas just as much as I condemn the killing of innocent Palestinians in the name of religion.

Pott calling the kettle black.

Fuck him; call things by their names, GENOCIDE.

I guess Israel had enough of Hamas' shit.

Watch out Bibi, the international police are going to come and arrest you! Blah blah blah.
