In fact, you've side stepped and posted about the 3 teenagers murdered.

(that had nothing to do with it)

Back to the story. How many rockets have been fired from the West Bank by the Palestinian Fatah?

Grasping at what straws? You have blatantly engaged in a strawman argument here. Why are you asking me how many rockets have been fired from the West Bank? Have I ever said rockets were fired from the West Bank? Are YOU confused which is the West Bank and which is Gaza Strip?

You did ask me if any rocket or other attacks had been launched from West Bank. I told you about one: 3 murdered teens found dead just recently. And yes, it was a terrorist act. LINK

And oh, look. Hamas claimed responsibility, even though the teens were kidnapped on the West Bank.

Where the hell did you get the idea that the Israeli government already knew the teens were dead, while they were searching for them? Citation or link needed.

I have sidestepped nothing. You tried a blatant strawman argument, and displayed some pretty lazy ignorance on your part, on this issue.



BTW - Lost in the stupidity in some arguments this thread, just to bring up something I and CRedskinsRule seem to have forgotten about the warnings Israel gives before targeting buildings. The Israelis are targeting buildings where they think Hamas is hiding weapons. Buildings that Hamas has hid weapons like homes, schools, tunnels (built with how much construction material?). Giving enough warning time for terrorists to move all the weapons out would be pretty dumb.

edit 2: Another thin, CRedskinsrule. Interesting point about psychological warfare being used this conflict. Like the rockets Hamas has been firing a long time, despite the Israelis doing a pretty good job of minimizing casualties. Another aspect of Hamas' attacks that shouldn't get overlooked this discussion. Kinda sad, that Israel warning residents to evacuate from imminent attack, and Hamas firing indiscriminately at Isrealis, might be considered morally equivalent, but I guess if you blur your focus enough, everything looks the same. Kind of like saying we were as bad in Iraq as ISIS is now. Both groups blow up buildings and shoot people too. Or should finer distinctions be drawn?
