This is not about “Free Nelson Mandela”, oops, I mean, Free Palestine. The Israelis do not have a single toe in Gaza, so where's the “Occupation”?
All death & destruction raining down on them is their own doing and the world knows it so, protesters, shut your trap and look all around the Middle East where your “brothers and sister” Muslim Arabs are butchering each other on your friggin’ Holy Month of Ramadan.
How can you Muslims say, “Oh Merciful Allah...blah, blah, blah” when you have no mercy in your hearts for your own kind let alone other human beings? The most hypocritical people unfortunately inhabiting the planet with the rest of us...your enemies and infidels.
In everyday life, that's fine, you just walk away. In a war situation, you cannot negotiate with them. You simply have to destroy the leadership and the men and weapons they use to try to enforce their will. Then you hope the rest will see the light. This is how Germany and Japan were defeated in the forties.
The only mistake the Israeli's make is that they are too compassionate. They stop too soon, before the job is done.
