Sick. The Hamas animals that are using schools to cache weapons are disgusting pieces of humanity. How can any group have that much contempt for their fellow men?
The Palestinian people voted to put a terrorist organization into power, and war, violence and tragedy are the result.
Where are the protests by Palestinians in the Gaza streets demanding from their government "no rocket launchers in our hospitals, schools and homes."
Here in the USA we have concerned citizens protesting against selling guns in stores.
Apparently these murders are making a lot of sick people (on this board) happy...
"Hospital, UN Shelter Struck in Gaza as Massacre of Civilians Continues
Additional examples of what human rights experts are calling clear cases of 'war crimes' against the people of the Gaza Strip continued on Thursday as Israel military forces bombed both a UN school acting as an emergency shelter for civilians and a hospital caring for those already suffering from the bombardment that began on July 8 and has now claimed over 700 lives in the sealed-off territory.
This is a horrible tragedy. I am very upset over this.
But if you actually are reading and not letting your blind biases get the best of you, there actually is confusion as to who actually did this. Hamas missiles could have landed prematurely.
Hmm... maybe they ARE engaging in 'pinpoint' bombing.
'Gaza health officials say the death toll from an Israeli strike on a compound housing a U.N. school in the northern Gaza Strip has risen to at least 15.
Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said the 15 were among hundreds of people seeking shelter in the school in Beit Hanoun from heavy fighting in the area.
The Israeli military said Hamas had launched rockets that fell in the area that could have been responsible for the deaths.
‘‘We can’t confirm that this is a result of errant fire. In any case, we do not target U.N. facilities,’’ military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said. Lerner said the military had urged the U.N. and the Red Cross to evacuate the school for three days leading up to the incident.
The U.N. said it was trying to do just that when the school was hit. Agency spokesman Chris Gunness said the U.N. had asked the Israeli military for a lull in fighting to allow for the school’s evacuation but did not hear back.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said U.N. staff were among the casualties and demanded that Israel and Hamas abide by international humanitarian law, respect ‘‘the sanctity of civilian life, the inviolability of U.N. premises’’ and protect humanitarian workers. He said more than 100,000 Gazans have sought refuge in UNRWA facilities.
‘‘Today’s attack underscores the imperative for the killing to stop — and to stop now,’’ Ban said during a visit to Iraq.
Israel insists it does its utmost to prevent civilian casualties but says Hamas puts Palestinians in danger by hiding arms and fighters in civilian areas. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum condemned the violence, saying Israel was targeting displaced people and ‘‘committing massacres.’’
Dangit. you're on my ignore list because generally me and you...don't get along. So I clicked show to see what you had to say...and repped you. This is dead on. This has nothing to do with rightwing or leftwing. this is the nature of war. and historically when we as a nation have done it-its been with bipartisan support.
Why are you posting to me if I'm on your ignore list? Makes no sense..............so go liberals.........even though like you say you tend to agree on this one.
War is ugly. That may well be fortunate, in that the RWers on both sides may eventually come to the conclusion it's no way to run a horse race, much less a human race.
Your evil RW folks don't start wars all the time like you think. If they are in one they go kill the ones on the other side instead of trying to be nice.

Yeah it is pathetic at best.............and folks defend these people who do it. Just sickening.

Serious question to those that seem to unconditionally back Israel's actions over the past few weeks: Is Israel at all to blame for the current situation? Or is this entirely the fault of the Palestinians?

Does Israel Carry Any Blame For Current Conflict?
