Video of Israelis breaking through Palestinian walls

Video of Israelis breaking through Palestinian walls to go from one house to the next. This is reminiscent of what the Nazis did in the Warsaw Ghetto.

One of the Israeli soldiers screams "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" at an ISM member.

Your comparison was disgustingly offensive and inaccurate.

Jews in the warsaw ghetto had not been seeking the destruction of germany, and were not on a 50 year terrorist campaign against germany.

Palestinians have terrorist leaders, terrorist organizations, and seek the destruction of israel. Current israeli actions are a response to this.

Yes, certain Palestinians have carried out horrible terrorist actions in Isreal, but that does not mean that the IDF's actions here are not reminiscent of the Wehrmacht's actions in the Warsaw Ghetto. Violence is violence, regardless of whether or not you think it's justified. Remember, the Nazi's thought the Jews were a threat to their country, and they thought their actions were justified, too.
The truth is, indiscriminent violence and property destruction by an armed force against civilians based soely on ethnicity is never justified, and is always reminiscent of similar actions of the past, Nazi's included.

"Palestinians have terrorist leaders, terrorist organizations, and seek the destruction of israel. Current israeli actions are a response to this. "

Do you really think that destroying Palestinians' homes and cities and slaughtering Palestinian civilians will put an end to Palestinian suicide bombings? Of course not. Anyone with half a brain knows that it will only increase Palestinian terrorism. So what's the IDF's real goal here?

You compare the IDF operation to the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto? What foolishness! You believe that rounding up innocent civilians and sending them to their death is the same as attempting to arrest and bring to trial terrorists that are wantonly slaughtering innocent civilians?
What fairy tale world do you live in? If you cannot understand the difference between a killer who is in love with death and those who attempt to then stop the killing you should try to first learn something about logic. There is a cause and effect here, if you can take even a tiny look at the facts.
Since when is randomly destroying homes with bulldozers and tanks, spraying towns with machine gun fire, and killing unarmed people -men, women, and children alike- a proper method of bringing terrorists to justice?

If the IDA really worked towards ending terrorism through proper investigation and justice, I would support their actions. In reality, however, they only act with aggression, revenge, hate, and more terrorism. They perpetuate the cycle of violence and hate. Don't get me wrong, Hammas is just as hate-filled, and just as much a part of that cycle. The people behind terrorist acts should be arrested and detained to prevent them from harming others. But an entire ethnic population should not be made scapegoats and targeted for revenge for the actions of some.

My point is this: Regardless of whatever motivations they may feel justifies it, any time a military force uses armed agression in order to terrorise an entire ethnic minority, it is remininsent of the Nazis (among others, including Saddam Hussein's slaughtering of Khurds and Shi'ites.)
