They make isreal look bad! Gaza fires way more missiles and they declared the war.
All the news posts anything isreal does but not the bad stuff the gaza ppl r doing!
You dont know what your talking about unless youve actually been there and youve seen whats happening.

In the words of john mayer. They have the only information they can bend it all they want. (his song waiting on the world to change.)

The UN doesn't fire missiles at Israel, and the UN didn't declare war on Israel, so how is Israel justified in shelling a UN compound? The UN is in Gaza as a relief agency who is trying to help the Gazan civilians, who also haven't fired missiles on Israel, by the way. Israel attacked a UN post during their war with Lebanon, too, by the way.

Anyway, the whole missile thing is over-blown. Hamas' missiles rarely do any real damage, let alone kill anyone. Sure, they're still terror weapons, but you don't consider Israel firing chemical weapons on a civilian population to be terror, too?

You know what, you're right. And back in the 1940s, FDR didn't have any first-hand evidence that Hitler was mass-murdering Jews. Was he wrong to declare war on Germany?

what the hell does "evidence that hitler was mass-murdering jews" have to do with a declaration of war against germany?

america didn't enter the war because of the holocaust; that's straight up middle school revisionism. really, as you slightly allude to, we had no idea of the true horrors & reality of the entire situation until august of 1942, long after we had already entered the war (after having been attacked by the japanese @ pearl harbor). & that only prompted a declaration of war against japan. if it weren't for the tripartite pact, held by the axis powers (sans the ussr), we may have never declared war on germany. further, what little whispers of second, third, fourth-hand accounts of the "final solution" our government & public received, we showed abundant apathy & antisemitism. for example, the ss st. louis. fdr was aware of the refugees, despite the absence of first-hand evidence of their likely-fate in europe; despite this, fdr sent them away. further, fdr refused to give visas, and showed no real initiative in saving the jewish population from nazi extermination.

so... your question is entirely bizarre & it's implications are ill-informed & false. you might as well have said that the north fought the civil war in order to free the slaves.

Bad example. I just meant to imply that because you haven't seen something yourself, doesn't mean it's impossible to construct a view of what happened based on evidence from others.

I actually realized after the post that the implication that FDR was hoping to "save the Jews" was flat-out wrong, and our entry into World War II against Germany was really a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which in turn opens up a number of complications in pinpointing a real reason.
