By that I'm sure you mean a government that
Restricts freedom of religion
Restricts freedom of expression
Restricts freedom of sexuality
Restricts the rights of women
Restricts democracy
Inforces martial law
A government such as, maybe, Hamas? Hamas stands against everything that the people in this country (UK) enjoy, they torment Arab Christians in the West Bank and they oppress those who worship at the wrong mosques. Yet people in this country, faux-socialists who believe that smashing the front window of a Starbucks* will bring down the capitalist empire that has given them so much of what they take for granted, support Hamas, not realising that the Muslim Brotherhood (of which Hamas is a wing) stands against all they say they desire.
Stop falling for the propaganda, unless you're just using a bit of sarcasm, you're just making yourself sound like a twat.
Furthermore, electing Hamas doesn't justify it, it just means that the people of Gaza knew full well what was coming for them, because you don't elect a government (or rather gang) that says it wishes to pull the tiger's tail without expecting to be bitten.

Articulates a lot of the above point. Definitely worth a read.

no one expects anyone to make up numbers of civilian deaths, or to lie about as to how they came about, so when someone does lie about such matters no one wishes to accept that it could possibly be a lie; they think it's beyond belief.
Hitler said people will sooner believe the large lies than the small ones, it's what allows so many oppressive organisations to act the way they do.

I didn't refer to people as Hitler, I merely paraphrased the great man.
I'll give you half a godwin point.

whose job it is to find stuff going "BOOM!" gets hurt in the BOOM! and everyone gets uppety about it.
Also, if they ask the man on the street "What do you think about..." all too often that man on the street isn't exactly independant. This was seen in Lebanon with Hezbollah who controlled quite rigorously what was and what was not to be filmed and said.

Some reports of them using white phosphorous bombs are still making it through.

but your answer is what, may I ask?
Stoning homosexuals? Go on, go to Trafalgar Square, wearing your "Free Hamas" shirt and have a go, why don't you?
Furthermore, not once did I support Israel in that above statement, I just criticised Hamas.

I might as well play by the rules laid down.
'800' dead is never references as '800, mostly armed men, dead'.
The language used against my argument is disingenuous, so I suppose I just have to match weaponry, no? Mocking works better than logic, picking the story of one young girl injured works better than numbers and data. It works for the fuckers who want my friends dead, so why not have it work for me?

i don't condone the civilian deaths in Gaza by Israeli bombing....but hell, killing civilians never stopped the palestinian groups before did it? In fact, they TARGETED civilians, and still do.

Are you forgetting suicide bombers strapping explosives to their bodies and detonating them in nice crowded places like shopping malls, pizza joints and bendy busses?
top tip - about to be blown up by a suicide bomber on a bendy bus? stand in the rubber concertina bit for the best chance of survival
edit - damn, replied to the wrong bit of this convo. bugger.

as charlie brooker said, theres more important things happening in the world, like 2 comics calling up an old and going 'lol shagged your daughter' or leaving your kid alone in a hotel room and being surprised when shes kidnapped.
1000's of people dying of starvation does not make headlines, which it should, but as you said, who gives a shit.
its a mad world.

25% of them civilians, apparently, and truly it's a great shame, but what about the ones with the kalashnikovs, mortars and rockets?
Fuck 'em, I say, fuck 'em with a bayonet, hard.

the voice of reason. Too many people are just willing to believe the propaganda without doing their own research or offer alternative viable solutions. Its much easier to just join in with the rest of the gang without giving it any reasoned thought.
