Titolo: Anche gli Israleliani augurano Buon Natale a modo loro

Sono ancora talmente incazzati con Gesù Cristo, che ogni volta che viene 
Natale, se la prendono con il primo che gli capita a tiro.
Ci sarà un modo per fermare questi pazzi scatenati? 

 Ci sarà un modo per fermare questi pazzi scatenati?
...erano settimane che li prendevano a missili in testa...che dovevano fare?
Come disse il saggio... "e belin anche te.... vai a tirare il belino ai 
coccodrilli e poi...."

Per coerenza del tuo ragionamento l'esercito dovrebbe andare a Napoli oppure 
in Calabria ed iniziare a bombardare dove capita.

 Anche i bambini sono obiettivo militare?
Senti coglione, ascolta.
C'era una tregua tra hamas ed Israele. Israele voleva mantenerale.
Hamas ha deciso che non voleva piu' rispettarla e di volere la guerra.
Israele non ha fatto niente sperando che ci ripensassero.
Il mondo ha taciuto.
Hamas ha ripreso a mandare razzi e colpi di mortaio contro i civili
Israeliani.
Israele non ha fatto niente sperando che smettessero.
Il mondo ha taciuto.
Vari giorni di questo trattamento (anche 80 missili al giorno) con
vittime civili israeliane.
Il mondo ha taciuto.
Israele, se permetti si e' rotta i coglioni e ha bombardato obiettivi
terroristici.
Adesso il mondo e' indignato con Israele e parla solo delle vittime
palestinesi.
ANDATE A CAGARE MERDE IPOCRITE!

> Senti coglione, ascolta.
Anche i bambini fanno parte di obiettivi militari? Sì o no?
Quando i terroristi palestinesi piazzano una bomba su un autobus 
isrealiano uccidono anche bambini, lo sai o no? Quando si bombarda un 
quartiere a Gaza si uccidono anche innocenti e sopratutto bambini. LO 
sai o no?
Questo è quello che conta, non le menate politiche di Hamas ed Isreale.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

 sai o no?
Non capisco perche' quando Hamas ha rotto la tregua e lanciava razzi e
colpi di mortaio contro civili israeliani (bambini inclusi) non eri
scandalizzato ma tacevi.
Quando israele ha cercato di fermare l'agressione contro i suoi
cittadini bersagliando obiettivi militari ti indigni perche' sfortuna
ha voluto che ci andasse di mezzo anche qualche povero bambino.
A quanto pare l'unica soluzione per te era che i civili israeliani si
lasciassero macellare senza reagire.
A te questo va bene, ipocrita che non sei altro, vero?


Basta non rompergli il cazzo coi missili fatti in casa.

Povero pirla, nel link che metti non c'e' il minimo accenno ai razzi
lanciati da hamas.
Quando ad essere colpita e' Israele il mondo ed i media tacciono,
quando isreale reagisce e si rompe le palle di ricevere razzi e colpi
di mortaio, allora il mondo ed i media parlano.
Ma andata a cagare, ipocriti!

 A te questo va bene, ipocrita che non sei altro, vero?
No, l'ipocrita sei tu.

 lanciati da hamas.
Il link che ho messo è alla risoluzione 1840 del consiglio di sicurezza 
dell'ONU, che congela lo statu quo di Gaza, abbracciando la 
delegittimazione di Hamas come forza di governo in Palestina, idiota.

 No, l'ipocrita sei tu.
Chi ha rotto la tregua?
"La tregua finisce domani": lo ha detto all'agenzia Ansa Fawzi Barhum,
un portavoce di Hamas a Gaza. "La nostra posizione è contraria alla
sua estensione"
http://www.repubblica.it/2008/11/sezioni/esteri/medio-oriente-43/fine-tregua/fine-tregua.html

 delegittimazione di Hamas come forza di governo in Palestina, idiota.
...che non c'entra un cazzo con il silenzio del mondo quando Hamas
manda missili e granate in Isreaele.

 a lanciare missili e granate.
Senti.. hai capito ciò che ti ho detto?
Senti.. riesci nella tua estrema maleducazione a parlare con 
moderazione oppure sei nato in strada ed hai frequentato solo papponi e 
ladri?

Ma certo, Rapa. Il mondo ci serve una risoluzione sfacciatamente 
favorevole su un piatto d'argento, ma questo che c'entra? Vogliamo anche 
la condanna dei razzi. Israele, il paese più viziato del mondo.
E comunque sei un cazzaro:
