Boosting this to spread the story while the worlds eyes are on the middle east, people in other areas are still sufferer as a result of other disasters.

@shoq

So far no one has actually come up with an answer to what replacs Hamas.

If Iraq is anything to go by then what replaces Hamas will be far far far worse

@arrrg

I think in the film wargames professor falcon (who made the AI that powers the new computer that controls the nukes) asks the US general why would the enemy (in this case the USSR) in the film attack you, knowing full well you will do the same to them and wipe them out too, the general is not sure, and is told THEN DON'T

If you have not seen the film the main character has gained access to what he thinks is just a military computer game, which turns out to be the computer, so taking the side of Russia he launches a nuclear strike on the USA, the computer AI thinks it is real, so when the general fails to launch a counter attack, the computer tries to find the launch codes and launch the missiles that way (which would have caused WWIII)

@arrrg

I have this odd vision of lord of the rings when Denesal (steward of Gondor) sends Faramir and soldiers back to Osgiliath to retake it. They fail and send just faramir back on a horse.

Later on when Saurons army turns up at the gates of gondor, the goblin king gives the order to 'release the prisoners' and the heads of all the soldiers get fired by catapult in to Minas Tirith.

Or perhaps another part of the story when saurmans army attacks Helms deep and despite outnumbering the humans and elves, end up on the losing side.

I an in NO way comparing Isreal to Sauron of course but your statement just remided me of lord of the rings.

I think in general if people do this, they number the sections e.g

1/3
2/3
3/3

to help the reader.

Or just released as there is no room in the prison.

The UK is a laughing stock.

Saying that

If the UK government agree that what Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza is self defence does this mean that if we are robbed or raped etc by someone we can go after them and beat them in to total submission and claim self defence?

Could solve the issue of not putting people in prison who burgle or rape people we just beat them to death instead.

NOT that I am in anyway advocating this level of violence.

@aljazeera

In that case they should be able to ID a target with Hamas personnel, then launch a precision strike to hit that single target.

This avoiding the current level of destruction.

Of course technology is there to those who CHOOSE to use OR NOT use it perhaps.
