How far back to we go back to establish who is the aggressor? The terrorist acts that were part of the process that led to the formation of Israel? The Massacre of civilians by Israeli forces in 1948 where villages were found dead with their hands bound? Where young women and girls as young as 14 we...

No worries. And I agree, their underlying goal is unlikely to have changed.

Not really a surprise that terrorist politicians are at least as untrustworthy as normal ones.

Causality figures and their reliability were discussed a while back. They were compared against figures from independent agencies such as aid organisations including scaling up the losses those organisations have reported losing from their own staff.

Strangely, it looks like Hamas mostly campaigned back in 2005 on ending corruption, and getting a better outcome with Israel for Gazans and not just death to all Jews.

Sadly they haven't done either of those things. Nor given Gazans an opportunity to vote again.

They killed roughly 5 times as many civilians as they captured as hostages (brutally torturing many of them for fun in the process), so no not really. So by your own maths they could easily have increased their death toll by about 20%. You know I'm taking the piss out of those who say Israel does "...

Not killing as many civilians as you could is not the same as doing everything possible to to avoid killing civilians. It's not even close. Hamas took hostages rather than killing absolutely everyone they could have. By the logic of many here that's minimising civilian casualties... They killed rou...

What's killing a few thousands a year matter against appeasing the tobacco lobby? Don't forget our $20 tax cut.

Watching a story at the moment about 2 young men / boys shot in the west bank.

I see you deleted your post Eugenius but I will post my answer anyway. No, I don't get why Hamas would do this.
