Do you consider Israel's actions against Palestinians as Genocide? (See what they've done before you answer)

Take "genocide" to mean the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group. It is made from the ancient Greek word 'genos' (race, tribe) and the Latin 'cide' (killing).

    If the Israelis were attempting to wipe out the Palestinians it would be genocide, however that's not being done. When a Palestinian carries a load of TNT into a bus, and blows himself and a load of kids up, that is Latin 'cide'.

    We all know what Israel has done - - - - we also know what the rag-heads have done. The Muslims are forever threatening to wipe Israel off the map, that's genocide.

    united statesa. is amazingly in charge to back those Israeli killers while it has the skill to provide up them. I study how Israeli floor troops rounded up Samouni civilians in a factor of Zeitoun and positioned them into one homestead. Then proceded to attack the homestead with a tank, rockets and shells! this may be blamed on Hamas, yet they have been nowhere close to the section and survivors from the homestead reported it became Israeli squaddies, and that they even stopped emergency centers from going to the homestead for a protracted time, and a few human beings bled to loss of life! it is unacceptable and greater should be performed to assist Palestinians from being killed like this! i won't be in a position to understand why united statesa. is permitting this to ensue, i recommend almost one thousand Palestinians are ineffective in comparison to diminish than 20 Israelis!

    No.

    They are protecting themselves from genocide. Have you not read enough about the history of Israel??

    Maybe you have not studied Islam - connected to Hezbollah,

    (also spelled - hesbola) Hamas, and a number of others, many not yet named.

    Thanks for the education on the word genocide, as if anyone needed it.

    Not even close. How dare you.

    Your statement is horrendously insulting to the Jews, Hutus, Albanians, Native Americans, Cambodians and every other race that has been a victim of the horror of true Genocide.

    Funny; you lay NO blame at the feet of the Hezzbollah who hid among the children to launch their rockets. That's called "cognitive dissonance".

    Nasrallah really messed this one up; he admitted it himself. He is a thug and a murderer and is the one guilty of attempted Genocide.

    It would seem so. The Palestinians have been demostrating, and allowed to demonstrate, and thats a sign of Democracy. They now have offered to resume peace talks with Israel. Reviewing past histories, it appears the Palestinians may be the better half of the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict and going in the right direction.

    Yes, of course it's genocide because they are a ruthless people with no mercy for anyone. They want to claim all of the land when it is Palestinian land. The Dome of the Rock is Muslim because Saladin opened it for Muslims. They don't belong there. If the US likes Israel so much, then let them have a whole state for them.

    I only know one thing that there is never one right side and one wrong side. Most of the time two side at war are always right in their own way.
