[quote]On Monday night, a Palestinian identified as Sajed Sultan, 19, was seriously wounded in the head when Israeli settlers marched through the city of Hebron demanding vengeance.Israeli troops closed all entrances to the city of Hebron and the village of Halhoul, near Hebron, where the bodies of the settlers were found on Monday. Israeli extremists attacked two Palestinians in Jerusalem. A taxi driver was sprayed with pepper spray, and a second man was beaten by Israeli settlers in West Jerusalem. A child was seriously wounded Monday night when an Israeli settler ran her down. Sanabel Attous, 9, from Jab’a village southwest of Bethlehem was hit by an Israeli car which witnesses say deliberately ran her down.[/quote] [img]http://www.imemc.org/cache/imagecache/local/attachments/jul2014/460_0___10000000_0_0_0_0_0_childwounded.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.imemc.org/article/68291[/url]
[quote]A child was seriously wounded Monday night when an Israeli settler ran her down. Sanabel Attous, 9, from Jab’a village southwest of Bethlehem was hit by an Israeli car which witnesses say deliberately ran her down.[/quote] Disgustingly hypocritical if true, although I'm pretty sure the witnesses would be biased in one way or another.
The cycle of violence between Israel and Palestine shows no evidence of slowing down.
A vicious cycle where neither are going to be able to claim moral superiority just leads to further disgusting behaviour.

[QUOTE=Eudoxia;45268276]It's not a cycle when the violence comes, overwhelmingly, from one side.[/QUOTE] I never thought someone could put so much bullshit and complete blindness to one side in one sentence, congrats! adding to sloppy_joes come live here for a while, you'd get used to hearing about these types of incidents (first two at the top of my head): [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itamar_attack[/url] [url]http://www.timesofisrael.com/soldier-in-critical-condition-after-palestinian-stabs-him/[/url] and dont forget suicide bombings which have toned down in the last years. They used to be usual incidents over here. I can personally say that living under missile fire is terrible, my city was hit several times in past wars. There has been a lot of tension in the air due to finding out about the kidnapped boys murder, the police have been straining to prevent 'civilian vengence' actions from both sides. and finally- don't turn this to a 'who posts the worst article' contest. I do not wish for violence, or to see and remember any more violence against any human being, only against those responsible for murder.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;45270169][URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_Israel,_2014[/URL][/QUOTE] 0 deaths. 0 injuries. Just because someone shoots their pellet gun often to counter the power of an AC-130, does not mean the power of the pellet gun is comparable to that of the AC-130. There is the rare chance death would result, but that is the culmination of over 10+ years of pellet gun shootings. These projectiles from the Strip are very ineffective and is the only reason why Israel allows them to partially persist. The Wiki article is really shit, ignoring the obvious spelling/grammatical errors that resulted from this painstakingly obvious [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t52LB2fYhoY"]propaganda-driven[/URL] article, it fails to discriminate between attacks on IDF soldiers and civilians or even potential false alarms. [quote] April 6 In the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council, near a kibbuz, was heard an explosion of a mortar shell. No red alert siren sounded before. No one was hurt, no damage reported[/quote] "was heard an explosion of a mortar shell, but no red alert sounded before" -- OK so this non-English speaking person meant to say that an explosion was heard but the red alert siren did not go off. The sound of an explosion could mean anything, and the sirens failure to detect it probably means it wasn't a mortar. But adding it to the Wikipedia article anyways emits the illusion of a "longer" article. [quote] May 21 Lots of mortar shells were fired at IDF forces on the Gaza boarder. No injuries, damages in attack.[42][/quote] "Lots of mortar shells" used to attack military targets, not civilians. The poorly written Wikipedia article deliberately fails to discriminate that. But adding it to the article makes it appear longer because every Israeli has to supposedly live under rocket fire every day. [quote] April 3 The "Code Red" siren was heard 3 times in a row in the evening. No rocket landing were identified, therefore the rockets came down within Gaza.[26][/quote] No words... The second sentence is not even backed by the source the writer cited which makes me doubt the authenticty of the other statements in the article. This is a really shitty article that is illegitimately-inflated for the sole purpose of countering the arguments that highlight Israel's disproportionate military assaults. By posting what initially appears to be a long list of attacks Israel is enduring, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_for_Accuracy_in_Middle_East_Reporting_in_America#CAMERA_campaign_in_Wikipedia"]whoever wrote the article[/URL] seeks to deceive those who care not to read in order to justify Israel's wanton retaliation.

Less than 1% of all rockets ever land in populated areas, the rest land in the vast open desert primarily inducing the theatrical fear effect onto the Israeli populace as desired by the groups in Gaza.

EDIT: Skeptical of that "survey" you posted to back your claim that 50% of all Israeli children have PTSD. "Showing symptoms similar to PTSD" -- polls and surveys in Israel are commonly skewed with bullshit questions. For example, one Israeli poll appeared to have asked Palestinians how they felt about Jews, but the translation was actually "How do you deal with the Jews who are besieging al-Aqsa and are scattered around it?" If 50% of all Israeli children have post-traumatic stress disorder, then Israel would not be able to thrive like they do as a state.

Great job on not actually commenting on [b]ANYTHING[/B] I just said.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry. Allow me to clarify. This started as a discussion about on which side in this conflict was most violence inflicted. A Wikipedia article listing rocket attacks against Israel was linked to in a rebuttal, and Starpluck responded to this, noting, amongst other things, that there were zero casualties, and compared the attacks to that of pellet gun against an AC-130. You then replied with studies showing the psychological impact of these rocket attacks. Now, what was the point of posting this, if not an attempt to compare the Israeli suffering with that of the Palestinians. I am certain no one here is saying that suffering psychological trauma from a rocket attack isn't horrendous. It is, and no person should have to live with that. However, I'm afraid, the impact of that trauma is quite abysmal when compared to the amount of loss and terror the Palestinians have had to endure.
