Are you making the assumption that Iran is telling the truth?
Hi.
Since when were governments under the obligation to tell the truth to people. I think never is the answer to that. The claim was that they had a law, they dont.

The sole idea that the government of Israel doesn't want the ICC to solve things shows that they're scum.
Hyperbole.
I think the tweeting is hilarious. It boils their disputes down to what they really are . . . pathetic whining flamewars between douchebag ideologues.
The status quo won't hold anyways though.
fuck yeah, war
*grabbing popcorn*
I'll check the updates from my bunker in the middle of the woods in northern canada when the nukes fall on the east coast...
dang.... I kinda wished we had this in WWII...
#D-day
Edit -
well there you go Coolio
Hyperbole.

The triumph of hope over experience.
No doubt, Gaza rockets are like toys compared to Israel's modern military.This isn't to suggest the IDF is targeting mass civilian figures intentionally, but it is unquestionable that there is a dramatic contrast in figures between the number of dead people. Israel focuses on the figure of rocket attacks instead for obvious reasons
It depends on what you deem that status quo. The current status quo, oslo isn't even 20 years old.

It seems some form of ground operation has started in Gaza.

BBC said:2119:The US backs Israel's right to self-defence, but "we encourage Israel to continue to take every effort to avoid civilian casualties", the State Department says in a statement.
2115: Israeli public radio station Voice of Israel Network B is reporting that citizens within seven kilometres of the Gaza Strip have been asked not to report to work tomorrow. Shopping centres will not be open to the public either. All public events within 40 km from the Gaza Strip have also been cancelled. (via BBC Monitoring)
Avital Leibovich, IDF spokesperson tweets: No school tomorrow for kids in the range of 40kms from #Gaza.
Israeli election coming up I see
You're making the assumption they are lying. You're claiming what they say is false, the burden of proof is now on you.
Hi.
Since when were governments under the obligation to tell the truth to people. I think never is the answer to that. The claim was that they had a law, they dont.
Since the 1979 Iranian revolution, the legal code has been based on Islamic Shari'a law. All sexual relations that occur outside a traditional, heterosexual marriage (i.e. sodomy or adultery) are illegal and no legal distinction is made between consensual or non-consensual sodomy. Homosexual relations that occur between consenting adults in private are a crime and carry a maximum punishment of death
Since 2000, at least 4,000 Palestinians have died. And if we're talking ratio here, the total number of Israelis,both civilians and Israeli Defence Force (IDF) combatants, killed by Palestinian armed groups and individuals, is declining. In contrast the total number of Palestinians, both civilians and combatants killed by the Israeli security forces or Israeli individuals, remains relatively high. In 2007, for example, for every one Israeli death there were 25 Palestinian deaths compared to 2002 when the ratio was 1:2.5.
Israel is going to do to the Middle East what Hitler did to Europe.
A country full of scumbag leaders.
smh

How would a messy war help a party that's already got a reputation as war hawks?

Oh?
He mentioned Hamas specifically, not palestinians.
Again there is this great disconnect here where people fail to grasp the great differences between PA Arabs and Hamas.

You people are hilarious. Approx. 90% of the posts here dismiss the fact that over 100 missiles were fired to Israeli towns by saying it didn't kill/injure anyone. Would any country in the world agree to such a thing? The Hamas government has taken over 1 million Israeli civilians hostage and for the past month (I won't even start talking about the past 12 years, just recent past that triggered the operation) has fired approx. 500 missiles on and off while the I.D.F. didn't respond. By the way, no one here even mentioned over 70 rockets were fired ever since the terrorist has been taken out.
Some videos I did not see here, all from today:
Iron Dome live interception - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tQ2Dh1E9bsQ
Four missiles intercepted - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NL1RDnhDyso
A rocket attack at Be'er Sheva (largest southern Israeli city) - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151145480557832
More missiles - https://www.facebook.com/MizbalaBlog/posts/297778340322462
One of today's targets: the Faj'r 5 missile (can reach Israeli biggest city - Tel Aviv) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hFp0Efv5lnI
Seriously, after seeing these videos from just today, try imagining your lives living under the threat of constant missile attack. The people there are being randomly targeted on a daily basis.
By the way, even right now while I finish writing this post the news channels in Israel broadcasts another live missile attack.
How would a messy war help a party that's already got a reputation as war hawks?
Am I the only one surprised that Operation Cloud Pillar comes almost exacly 4 years after Operation Cast Lead?
Unconfirmed reports of rockets reaching Tel Aviv.
Israeli military censor will be all over this, so hard to know whats going on really.
I quoted from your link to the Wikipedia about LGBT rights in iran. In it and as said by the president of IRAN. There are no laws. PERIOD.
If you can show a very simple fact about where does in the IRAN LAW it says to execute LGBT.
Shouldn't be that hard.
So whats Israel's game plan? Rile up hamas, then get their propaganda machine rolling to create public opinion against a Palestine state?

In Israeli politics, war helps the hardliners.How would a messy war help a party that's already got a reputation as war hawks?
90% of the posts
over 100 missiles
over 1 million Israeli civilians
approx. 500 missiles
over 70 rockets
Hamas has nothing to do with a Palestinian State, they are essentially at war with the PA/Fatah.
I showed you a simple fact, Iranian law is based on Sharia law. Did you even read my post?
If Israel had the ability to stop the Hamas missile attacks they would've done so.Part of this I think could be Israel destroying Hamas ability to retaliate against a future Israeli operation against the Iranian nuclear facilities.
That's... a bit much. I think.

Not condoning actions, but I'm surprised there isn't more anger against Hamas in this thread. They are the ones setting up in the middle of cities and shooting at Israel.
They pick their sites to shoot from with the knowledge that Israel will attack that spot and it seems like they hope for collateral damage because it paints Israel in a negative light. It seems to go ignored that these people are shooting rockets at civilians in Israel as well.
Again, not condoning Israel's actions, but can you expect them to sit there and just try and shoot every rocket down forever?
It's a historically flimsy comparison, and maybe more importantly, it divert the discussion to that comparison instead of what going on in Gaza right now, as evident by this very thread.Anytime you are murdering massive amount of civilians due to their race/religion the comparison is deserved and not "a bit much" in any manner.
Hamas has nothing to do with a Palestinian State, they are essentially at war with the PA/Fatah.
2119:The US backs Israel's right to self-defence, but "we encourage Israel to continue to take every effort to avoid civilian casualties", the State Department says in a statement.
People are dying and you're trying to double-check the score.
No one is defending or ignoring this, or suggesting that Israeli was wrong in responding. It's just that often, the Israeli response sees more casualties than the rockets themselves.
Have you ever imagined living in Palestine? But actual dropping of bombs from sky high down in your house..
have you imagined ever living in a militant occupation ....
