Anger mounts as Gaza toll rises

well you could always go to Gaza and offer the Palestinians a helping Hand!

 

 

Much the same as you could go to Israel and offer a helping hand taking those other ardent Zionist supporters with you.

 

 

 

what and leave you to post nonsense on TV without a reply! 

[chuckd]

 

 

Israel is showing it's true colors.
Imagine the outcry if an Israeli school was blown up! This is now pathetic!
UG, JT and co, bring on your excuses! ('Terror tunnels', 'Rockets' 'wipe off map' 'only democracy' 'anti-termite' etc etc etc...)

Only thing Pathetic is the Terrorist launching attacks from a School in the first place......then hiding behind Women and Children when the attacks are answered.

 

 

 

As far as I know, there have only been 3 instances among the 80+ UN schools where the UNRWA workers have found some rockets that someone stashed there. One time the rockets disappeared, the other two the workers got UN weapons removal experts to take care of them.

 

Do you have a link that reports this "launching from the schools" as you say?

 

 

If my memory serves me correctly, in two of the articles detailing the school room rockets, they were reported as being turned over to the "local police".

 

If my memory will continue helping out...Gaza's "local police" are Hamas members.  

 

When did "local police" turn into UN weapons removal experts?

I would like to see a link to your claim that "One time the rockets disappeared, the other two the workers got UN weapons removal experts to take care of them." Or are we making it up as we go along?
 

[Steely Dan]

These Israeli actions are a disgrace to the human race. And those that support these actions are also a disgrace. For such a "developed country" they sure do act like a pack of backward pack animals. All prayers to the deceased in these attacks and to the oppressed Palestinians.

..better be a 'disgrace' than dead.

Indeed. It is also very revealing how sundry one issue activists are frothing at the mouth with carefully choreographed outrage yet were completely absent as 200,000 were killed in Syria, tens of thousands were murdered by jihadis in Nigeria, over a million in North Sudan and ISIS slaughters Christians in Iraq whilst carrying out compulsory FGM on the women there.

But no an apparent stray Israeli shell fired at terrorists using UN facilities as a human shield is far more important in the grand scheme of things.

so If Hamas haven't taken them back the rockets are still in the school. That doesn't mean they have been disposed of, which I think is what you are trying to claim? The first lot they asked hamas to take them away. They were also not disposed of by UN Munitions experts.

It simply means that Israelis don't go out of their way to make SURE that civilians are killed when Hamas rockets them, as Hamas ENSURES its civilians definitely ARE KILLED by Israeli strikes which will predictably & obviously target the Hamas launch sites.   ....which are always schools, mosques, hospitals, and densely populated areas.   Israel tries to leaflet/e-mail/phone these targets, and the civilians stick around anyway.   A very effective media-manipulation tactic by Hamas that appeals to mobs the world over. 

 

How anyone can come to any OTHER conclusion than that Hamas (and those civilians willingly supporting them) is/are completely responsible for these civilian deaths is insane.

 

OK, now the other guy is supposed to repeat the "that's just Netanyahu propaganda" talking point (accepted and parroted by terrorist sympathizers and Jew-haters the world over), and that's pretty much how the debate ends...   The rest is just repetition, occasionally accompanied by some lame attempt to win on word-count.

 

 

 

"The civilians stick around anyway"

 

Where are they supposed to go? The UN came out yesterday and said in no uncertain terms, THERE ARE NO SAFE PLACES IN GAZA.

 

 

Duh - where the Hamas rocket launchers AREN'T!!   (Now I'm not claiming that Hamas makes that easy, or even always an option at all, but you'd have to take that up with their trigger-pullers...)

 

Oh, the UN came out & said....   Well!

I don't dispute that Hamas stored rockets in 3 schools - its a fact, the UNRWA found them there.

 

I dispute that they have FIRED THEM FROM SCHOOLS THAT ARE BEING USED BY THE UN.

 

Do you honestly believe it is reasonable to shoot tank shells at a UN school housing people who have fled the fighting, simply because the workers at 3 OTHER schools have found rockets? Should they not report the findings at all?

[jope]

For many years I have felt there are two sides to this story and the Israeli's are not that innocent, but while America has a large Jewish population that can swing any election America has always taken the Israeli side and vetoed any form of UN sanctions to force Israeli to negotiate with the Palestinians, instead it seems the Israeli's have an agenda to eradicate the Palestinians, is this not dissimilar to what happened in Warsaw in 1940? to which every decent person condemns to this day. 

 

Here is your "large Jewish population that can swing any election" in the US:  2,11 % 

 

​I find the attempt to compare the Warsaw Ghetto (built with the only intend to systematically murder all jewish people within that ghetto) with a regrettable war situation appalling.

I clicked on your link. This is what I found

 

"In a strong condemnation of the Israeli shelling on a UN school in Gaza that killed 16 civilians, UN chief Ban Ki-moon said that it was an outrageous and unjustifiable act as 'nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children”, adding that UN shelters should be safe zones, not combat zones."

 

So where did the "8 injured" come from?

 

Now you are probably going to just ignore that question because I suspect even you don't know, so I will ask you to explain how the people in the school are being used as human shields? Are the UN using them as human shields to protect their school? Remember the three times they found rockets before were at abandoned schools, NOT the school that was hit by tank shells.

 

So lets hear it. The people who followed Israel's command to evacuate to UN schools, who were then subsequently bombed by Israel in the schools, how are they human shields?

More rabid Israeli propaganda.

 

Israel has never given a sh*t about taking land, destroying houses and other buildings, and deliberately targeting civilians with bombs. The Bangkok Post is reporting that they bombed a market today, killing a number of shoppers and when the rescuers went to retrieve the dead & wounded, another bomb was dropped on them.

 

But everything is 'Hamas' fault'. Not even a whisper of sympathy for the civilians killed apparently because they were 'wrong' in voting for Hamas (& no doubt for having the misfortune to live in a prisoner-of-war style enclave.

 

Just to repeat - all evidence is that Israeli is targeting civilians as a Nazi-style collective punishment for being a lesser type of human to the 'chosen ones'.
