Bonzo77 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Avaaz are lobbying to convince large corporations to withdraw funding from Israel in an effort to put a peaceful, none violent end to the war. I think it's worth signing, whoever you side with. If the war is unaffordable, it could force a peaceful end to the conflict. https://secure.avaaz.org/en/israel_palestine_this_is_how_it_ends_loc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wars don't have to be expensive, they can be fought very cheaply but sadly the number of innocent casualties increases as you weapons become less sophisticated and accurate.

Yes, and by definition proportionate, not perfect but proportionate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbob Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes, and by definition proportionate, not perfect but proportionate. So as long as its proportionate it doesn't matter if more people are killed. Gaza's population density is significantly higher than Israel's so if Israel fired an equal number of rockets into Gaza there would be more casualties in Gaza than Israel.

Anna Glypta Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes, and by definition proportionate, not perfect but proportionate. What an interesting idea. Thousands of untargeted high explosive rockets raining down on the civilian population of Gaza is acceptable to you but attempting to take out the terrorists firing rockets at your civilian population isn't.

geared Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 How is this in anyway going to stop Hamas shooting off Rockets into Israel??? Israel was in the process of pulling out of the Gaza strip, opening boarder crossings and easing travel and goods restrictions, until Hamas rose to power in 2006-2007 and completely ruined everything.

I think their point is that Israel won't have the Iron dome so more Israeli's will be killed, which is clearly the ultimate aim of those that oppose Israel and defend Hamas.

Bonzo77 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 It's just an attempt to stop the violence. Politicians don't seem to be doing a very good job. Don't sign it if you don't agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is everyone suck a dick when it comes to this conflict?!? Both Israel and Hamas are as bad as each other. Stop trying to make out people who want peace are wanting more Israelis dead!
