I have to say that I like the way that the Fox team (and certain posters on here) label those who don't agree with them as ignorant (or less informed). Because they can't possibly see how you've seen the same information as them and come to a different conclusion.

I watched that Hannity response on the train home. I'm not sure if he is arrogant, ignorant or just plain evil.

After that you could consider getting rid of the people who want to fire the missiles and elect a replacement government that is going to develop your countries natural resources and engage in peaceful trade with your neighbours thus bringing prosperity and peace to your nation.

Is that enough to be getting on with....?

Why didn't the British cease hostilities against Nazi Germany, establish pieceful trade and live happily ever after? Because humans have an innate sense of right and wrong perhaps?

Even if you accept UN resolution 181 as a fair division of Palestine it is hard to argue that their continued occupation of Jerusalem and the west bank doesn't violate the 4th Geneva convention.

Why is the Palestine response to Israel any different from that of the IRA (who killed over a hundred English men, women and children)? And if its not that different why wasn't the British response to the IRA to engage in collective punishment killing thousands of civilians?

3.5 hrs after a ceasefire, Israel has 'resumed operations ' by using force with tanks.

Because the rockets kept firing, perchance? Just a guess but it's been reported many times before over so many years I can't remember.

Apparently an Israeli troop was kidnapped. Had an alert on bbc news app but is was "breaking" so was just a headline. Not been able to get further info yet

Err... What?

I genuinely cannot manage the mental gymnastics necessary to draw any parallel whatsoever between the three conflicts to which you refer.

Really quite baffled by this post.
