Hamas bans women from using motorcycles

The ministry said: “It is time for Gazan society to put an end to the phenomenon of women using motorcycles. This does not suit our society socially or morally. Nor does it fit with Muslim rules and regulations, as women’s use of motorcycles can easily disclose their sensitive parts.”

Oy vey!

That's bad news . Fuel is very scarce there and motorcycles is one of the few options. Unfortunately and based on the article as true, it would be a historically based situation where men who are overly obsessed with sex try reflect their own perversions into law where we get aberrations in the logic behind legislation.

What is happening in the wasteland of apartheid Israel?

Unfortunately Israeli oppression created a breeding ground for radicalism. As one Palestinian friend told me, 'We know the Holocaust existed, because they're taking it out on the Palestinians.'

In the "wasteland" of "apartheid" Israel women enjoy equal rights to other citizens.
People are even allowed to walk their dogs, imagine that.

I guess everything is Israel's fault. Never mind that it is the islamofascist Hamas that institutes these bans. Never mind that despite international aid, very little actually gets to the citizens because Hamas diverts it for their terrorist activities and to enrich the upper echelons of Hamas. Never mind that despite Israel sending in cement, little of it trickles down to the civilians because Hamas takes almost all of it for terror tunnels.

As one Palestinian friend told me, 'We know the Holocaust existed, because they're taking it out on the Palestinians.'

Your Palestinian friend should look at the Palestinian leadership as the main cause of their woes.

In part of the wasteland.

But it is an apartheid wasteland. One group crushing and oppressing another.

In the part being crushed, life is hard, there is no normal civil life, and radical elements have easy control.

Israel is a place where many live a good life and many are oppressed brutally everyday of their lives.

They are under the control of Israel. Gaza does not have free access to the Mediterranean and does not even have an airport.

Israel is deliberately crushing economic activity in these territories.

Israel has steadily stolen land and is continuing to steal land. It has violated international law and UN Resolutions but has always been protected by the US veto.

It is running a monstrous system of oppression in the lands it controls.

So your issue is not with what I wrote (which you probably didn't even read) or with the numbers in the infographic on Hamas tunnels, but merely with the form.
And you complain about the form, but you quote my entire post not once bit twice?

Your problems are many, I elected to point out one of them. The fact that you utilize an IDF infographic speaks loudly to your partiality for one thing. Tell me, how much does Israel spend on its military infradstructure like walls and outposts built in foreign territory it has no rightful claim to? Probably a fair bit more than went into these tunnels. Yet I'm supposed to be upset when Hamas does it. It's kind of like when people like you bitch and whine because a family on foodstamps decides to buy a nice steak to split between them yet seem to have no thought or care towards the millions and billions in tax breaks and subsidies we give to corporate interests. In other words, you're hypocritical and full of shit.

The second one is...I don't even know, it's just some bullshit you felt just had to be included for reasons I cannot fathom. It doesn't add to your point, it just makes it harder to take you seriously when that simplistic tripe is honestly how you view the conflict. It speaks to your rigid thinking and general inability to take in the various nuances and complications of the subject matter when all you have to show is a three window comic.

A lot easier to call him a shill than address the facts he presents.

And the bike one is all to realistic.

Hamas cuts power and then cries about how the Jews are mistreating them by cutting the power.

 

[ZiprHead]

Any citation from somewhere other than the IDF that those tunnels cost 3 million?

Yes, investment in it's own people would be nice. Maybe in the form of solar panels.

They needed the tunnels so they could get KFC's from Egypt (true, in that this did happen).

The standard strategy from your side is to discount anything that comes from pro-Israeli sources and then claim there's no evidence for the Israeli side.

I find the $3m claim quite reasonable. Tunnels take a lot of labor and materials.

And even if the $3m is wrong it's still diversion of materials meant to rebuild houses--and then you guys turn around and claim that Israel won't allow people to rebuild when in reality Hamas took their supplies.

Which doesn't explain the tunnels that go under Israel. Those are purely to attack with.

 

[Derec]

They are under the control of Israel. Gaza does not have free access to the Mediterranean and does not even have an airport.

Gaza is under blockade for one reason only - after the Israeli disengagement, Gaza responded by shooting hundreds of rockets at Israel.
As far as the airport goes, Gaza had one, but it was destroyed during the Second Intifada, when Yasser Arafat told Palestinians to unleash a campaign of terror. The crumbling Yasser Arafat airport is a fitting symbol for his disastrous leadership. He brought the Palestinian people nothing but misery, while he amassed a fortune for himself.

Israel is deliberately crushing economic activity in these territories.

That's like blaming the Allies for crushing economic activity of Nazi Germany. \
Gaza could have had economic development if Hamas, which rules Gaza, had not put attacks on Israel over the well-being of its people.

Israel has steadily stolen land and is continuing to steal land.

Land disputes in Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem are not really relevant to what has been happening in Gaza.
Israel completely disengaged from Gaza in 2005 and removed all Israeli settlements from there.

It has violated international law and UN Resolutions but has always been protected by the US veto.

UN has become incredibly biased against Israel, so it's a good thing US is able to block some things with a veto.

It is running a monstrous system of oppression in the lands it controls.

If by "it" you mean Hamas.
