The most frustrating part for me is that nothing will be changed by this offensive. Whenever it temporarily winds down the status quo will remain the same. Israel will still occupy Gaza, Hamas will still have missiles, and around and around we go.
The only difference is that these Palestinian civilians will still be dead. For nothing. Fucking heartbreaking.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think Sivan character is nothing more than a troll that saw this thread and decided to just stir shit up?? No more than 30 posts until yesterday?
I'm can't believe a word this guy is saying when he says "great video from the war field." Plus asking where the best place to be to post garbage. I'm not going to go as far as saying he's jot from Israel, I have no idea, but something seems off. I'm not buying it. I'm calling shenanigans.
No. I find it as a legitimate act of defence. The greatest defence is attack. Thats what WE are doing. Attacking those who terrorize us with missiles from Gaza and death tunnels leads into israeli communities close to the border with gaza.
The only thing that is painful for me is seeing the deep sorrow on the faces of the familys that lost their beloved ones on the both sides. In turns me from inside. Allmost 20 days of tears and pain. But we must be strong to end this horror once and for all.
No. I find it as a legitimate act of defence. -
killing children is not a legitimate act/s of Defense.
Don't be a hypocrite,Hamas also has blood of children on its hands.Years and years of it.Keep it fair.Also Hamas bombs have also fallen short in this conflict and landed on Gaza soil causing death and injury.War is dirty and nasty.Both sides have fault for innocent death.But don't stand on a soap box like Hamas is innocent they certainly are not.
israel starves and malnourishes palestinian children in the blockade.
if you want to go child body count for body count, i promise you that more palestinian children have died than israeli children.
but the fact of this latest round of combat shows, israel is targeting and killing women and children. there is no disputing that.
prior to today, the previous 2 days (according to the UN) Israel has killed one child every hr in Gaza (2 days straight)
what is happing is not 'defense', its an outright massacre.
Another day passes in the US and this massacre is still happening. Another day is about to rise in gaza and the shit will start again, not that they took a night break. The pain inside me that I feel for those Palestinians is sickening. I'm physically getting sick thinking and reading about this every fucken day. Forget about being ashamed about being an American, I'm ashamed to call myself a human. God be with ALL you innocent people of GAZA. I wish we had some iron dome to protect you guys from this assault and war crimes being inflicted upon you by Israel.
Here's a BIG FUCK YOU to ALL the Arab nations out there doing NOTHING. Grow some fucken balls you piece of shit leaders and DO SOMETHING. All you fucken Arab leaders are fake ass Muslims. You stand on the sidelines and allow Israel to rain hell down on them? I'll give the Israelis credit, they stick together when backed into a corner wether right or wrong. You fucken pieces of shit leaders who sold your souls to the devil for power and money. Some fucken Muslims you guys are. I blame Israel and all of you for allowing this to happen.
Imagine, just for a min, that you were born a Palestinian in gaza. Imagine
West Bank Rises, Tens Of Thousands Join Largest March Since Last Intifada
Amid the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza, the West Bank has risen.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians marched with President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement from the West Bank city of Ramallah toward Jerusalem to protest Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza, which has claimed the lives of nearly 800 Palestinians, many of them civilians.
The protest appears to be the largest mass demonstration since the 1980s. The uprising promises to be different from previous intifadas, partly because it comes in the wake of the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street and other mass protest movements around the globe. But the way in which the world engages with protest has also evolved, due to the advent of Twitter and cell phone video, which can focus attention on raw conflict in a way that bypasses the mainstream media. Today's march is being live tweeted at the hashtag #48kMarch.
Reuters reported that protests also broke out in Jerusalem itself, near the old walled city and outside the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Haaretz reported that several protesters have already been killed by Israeli military forces. Reuters quoted hospital officials saying one person had been killed and three others were in critical condition and on life support. Some 200 protesters were injured, a hospital doctor told the news service.
Heather Hurlburt, a national security fellow at Human Rights First, said that Palestinian civil society and non-violence activists have been talking about massive, peaceful marches as a protest tactic since the Arab Spring in 2011. "No one in Israel or the West has much excuse to be surprised or unprepared for this tactic. They've had years to think about how to handle it peacefully," Hurlburt told HuffPost.
they want to wipe a race of people out of land they claim as their own. The Non state actors here that these nice guys hang around with and climb into bed with Have attacked my country,killed my fellow Americans and have wreaked havoc and terror all over the world(remember the subway in London Byrnzie). Any one with any common sense,who is peace loving and wants a safer world can not in good faith say that Hamas,Hezballoh,Isis and Al-Qaeda want any thing but Jihad and to push there own secular agenda.These are bad,bad people with little respect for life.
You don't know what you're talking about. You don't have the slightest fucking clue about any of those groups whose names you just reeled off.
And yeah, I remember the London subway. It was an attack inspired by the U.S invasion and occupation of Iraq that killed over a million people. Nothing to do with Palestine, or Hezbollah, or Al Queda.
Here's some advice for you: In future, when you feel inspired to indulge in a 500 word incoherent rant against your imagined threat of Muslims and Jihadi Global terrorrists crawling down your chimney to murder you and your children in your sleep, do yourself a favour - provide some evidence for your claims first. I'm not interested in reading any more of your silly nonsense.
After reading that how can you say Israel shouldn't push back
Push back? What the fuck do you mean 'push back'? What fantasy World do you live in pal?
The Palestinians have been constantly 'PUSHED BACK' for the past 60 fucking years. They now exist on less than 20% of their original homeland. How's that for PUSH BACK?
No offense, but it's perfectly obvious that you don't know the first thing about the Israel-Palestine conflict. If I were you I'd stick to watching CNN and the cartoon channel.

Israel captured the West Bank, along with Gaza, during a 1967 war.
Wow, wow wow. Those Palestinians have some real big balls to go out with fireworks and rocks to protest in that video. Knowing they're is a chance they're gonna get shot with live bullets. I have a feeling Israel has finally gone to far. This is gonna get real bad and worse real fast. They're gonna have their "Arab spring" and rise. And what is Israel gonna do when all those Palestinians have nothing to live for, no happiness, no family, no home. When those Palestinians rise and say enough, what are you gonna do? Shoot them all down and show you're true colors? Wow, watching that video, I saw a people who've had enough. Who see that NO ONE is gonna help them but themselves. I see a people who are gonna rise and fight till the death. What else do they have? What other choice do they have? Now that the West Bank has risen, this is gonna get real crazy real fast. Get ready, I'm afraid what we've seen is shit to what we're about to see. And you know what, good for them. Rise and take your country back.
Really? No one is stoping Israel. Is it because the 'hasbara' or the world actually 'is buying this shit'?
Europe feels it from inside. Europe is burning slowlly.. Jihad ideology is bitting europes liberalism. Reality check - France, England, Belgium..
Really? Is that what you're seeing inside your head?
In the meantime, and out in the real World, there have been mass demonstrations in many of Europe's major cities over the past week, including approx 100,000 people marching in London in protest of Israel's latest massacre, and rioting in France.
Oh shit, anyone see the soccer players playing for haifi mcabe in France? They were attacked during the game by some Turks. People have bad enough. Shits fucked up all over the world. And people see what the leaders of Israel truly are. Blood thirsty thugs, war criminals. Nothing but death pleases them. And people actually defend these monsters in power. Unreal.
Of course you do, for the simple reason that you don't know what you're talking about. That, and the fact that your Islamophobia has clouded your judgement.
Read on:
The United Nations General Assembly annually votes on a resolution titled, “Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine.” This resolution uniformly includes these tenets for “achieving a peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine”: (1) “Affirming the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war”; (2) “Affirming also the illegality of the Israeli settlements in the territory occupied since 1967 and of Israeli actions aimed at changing the status of Jerusalem”; (3) “Stresses the need for: (a) The realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, primarily the right to self-determination; (b) The withdrawal of Israel from the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967”; (4) “Also stresses the need for resolving the problem of the Palestine refugees in conformity with its resolution 194 (III) of 11 December 1948.”
Peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine - A/RES/68/15 Vote: 165 Yes, 6 against (Canada, Federated States of Micronesia, Israel, Marshall Islands, Palau, United States) with 6 abstentions (Australia, Cameroon, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, South Sudan, Tonga)
So we have 165 countries on one side calling for a peaceful settlement of the conflict under the terms of U.N Resolution 242, and 6 countries - including Israel and the U.S - on the other; the U.S using it's power of automatic veto at the U.N Security council to block the settlement.
And by the way, three of those countries which voted against the Resolution are destined to disappear under the sea in the near future as a result of global warming, so the U.S and Israel will have even fewer allies in their opposition to a peaceful settlement of the conflict.
Can someone direct me to the right place in the forum..Were can i open a post in memory of the Israeli brave soliders and civilianze who lost their lives defending the country?
Sure, because killing unarmed men, women and children makes you brave, right?
Israel bans radio advert listing names of children killed in Gaza Human rights group B'Tselem will petition Israel's supreme court after advert was deemed to be 'politically controversial'
Harriet Sherwood in Jerusalem heguardian.com, Thursday 24 July 2014
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority has banned a radio advertisement from a human rights organisation which listed the names of some of the scores of children killed in Gaza since the conflict began 17 days ago.
B'Tselem's appeal against the decision was rejected on Wednesday. It intends to petition Israel's supreme court on Sunday in an effort to get the ban overturned.
The IBA said the ad's content was "politically controversial". The broadcast refers to child deaths in Gaza and reads out some of the victims' names.
In its appeal, B'Tselem demanded to know what was controversial about the item. "Is it controversial that the children [aren't] alive? That they're children? That those are their names? These are facts that we wish to bring to the public's knowledge."
In a statement, the human rights group said: "So far more than 600 people have been killed in bombings in Gaza, more than 150 of them children. But apart from a brief report on the number of fatalities, the Israeli media refrains from covering them." By Thursday morning, the death toll in Gaza had exceeded 700.
B'Tselem went on: "IBA says broadcasting the children's names is politically controversial. But refusing to do so is in itself a far-reaching statement – it says the huge price being paid by civilians in Gaza, many of them children, must be censored."
Aid agencies said on Wednesday that a child had been killed in Gaza on average every hour for the preceding two days, and more than 70,000 children had been forced to flee their homes. There has also been a spike in the number of premature births.
"The shocking number of children being killed, injured, or displaced in Gaza demands an unequivocal international response to stop the bloodshed," Save the Children said. "Entire families are being wiped out in seconds as a result of the targeting of homes."
Dr Yousif al Swaiti, director of al-Awda hospital, said: "We have witnessed many premature births as a result of the fear and psychological disorders caused by the military offensive. The number of cases of premature births per day has doubled, compared to the average daily rate before the escalation."
The most frustrating part for me is that nothing will be changed by this offensive. Whenever it temporarily winds down the status quo will remain the same. Israel will still occupy Gaza, Hamas will still have missiles, and around and around we go.
The only difference is that these Palestinian civilians will still be dead. For nothing. Fucking heartbreaking.
Yeah, but this is why Hamas are refusing to accept the terms of the U.S-Israel-Egyptian ceasefire; because that ceasefire would simply return things to normal. I.e, the continuation of the blockade, routine extra-judicial assassinations, military incursions, missile attacks, e.t.c. And that's just Gaza. The West Bank will continue being attacked by the settlers and the military, and Palestinians will continue having their homes bulldozed and their land stolen.
But according to some people on this messageboard, such as rr165892, and PhillyCrownofThorns, that's perfectly acceptable. I mean, they're all just Jihadi-Al Queda-Hezbollah, terrorists anyway.

It's very interesting - I don't think this would have happened five years ago under the same circumstances. A very positive impact of our day and age is that this issue is so hugely visible for the first time, that it's becoming a moral obligation to stand for something. This has stirred something in a lot of people, badbrains. I just hope people can rise above "Israel=KKK" (and equivalent slander and attack on character from Israel towards Palestinian people, of which I'm sure there is plenty), and start working towards common goals (the ones that really matter like living without a constant fear of dying) instead of against each other. I don't envy the Palestinians for having to work towards that goal, it is a cruel and tragic reality that one party will have suffered in ways the other likely can't even imagine when all is said and done.

I hear ya Ben and agree. Maybe some would've protested but not this many. It's getting real dangerously close to exploding and I have a feeling it is. I just don't see this getting better anytime soon. Not with images like the one byrnzie just posted. Imagine having to bury your child, the little innocent angel you brought into this world? Ben, here's to hope, here's to this shit ending, here's to people putting a stop to this madness. It HAS TO STOP!
Yep, my heart goes out to those incredibly brave soldiers of the IDF:
Truly heartbreaking. No one should EVER HAVE TO DO THIS. Whatever happened to your kids burying you? Rule doesn't apply in Israel or gaza. Wow. Truly fucken heart breaking. How can anyone defend this? How
Some on here want us to believe Hamas and Hezbollah are some how defenders of the weak oppressed Palestinian population and have nothing but pure angelic intensions.They just respond to The IDF and their aggressive actions.While they may do some of that,what they mostly do is foster Global Terror.They have been connected to Al-Qaeda on many occasions,cross training and such Including backing and funding and arming by Iran.They have destabilized a government that had the hope of working out peace,and they want to wipe a race of people out of land they claim as their own.The Non state actors here that these nice guys hang around with and climb into bed with Have attacked my country,killed my fellow Americans and have wreaked havoc and terror all over the world(remember the subway in London Byrnzie).Any one with any common sense,who is peace loving and wants a safer world can not in good faith say that Hamas,Hezballoh,Isis and Al-Qaeda want any thing but Jihad and to push there own secular agenda.These are bad,bad people with little respect for life.

West Bank Rises, Tens Of Thousands Join Largest March Since Last Intifada
Israeli soldiers kill three Palestinian demonstrators in West Bank protest
Army says it has used 'riot dispersal means' against protesters but refuses to comment on live round use
Because for Israel, it's perfectly o.k to shoot and kill unarmed demonstrators, just like it was o.k for an Israeli sniper to murder two unarmed Palestinian teenagers in May of this year. Isral's response to these murders? - "We used rubber bullets". No, they didn't. They used live ammunition, as the doctors who treated the dead testified. But if the Israeli's say it, then it must be true, and the incident will be brushed under the carpet until the next murder occurs, and on it goes, indefinitely. Meanwhile, when three Israeli teenagers are killed, it sparks a rampage through Palestinian areas, looting to the tune of $1.8 Million, the kidnapping and burning alive of a 15 year old boy, followed by a full-scale military assault on Gaza.
Israeli soldiers have shot and killed three Palestinian protesters and wounded about 100 on Thursday in confrontations with several thousand people demonstrating in the occupied West Bank against a 17-day-old Israeli offensive in Gaza, Palestinian medical officials said.
AFP reported that one of those killed had been named as 25-year-old Mohammed al-Aaraj.
The Israeli military confirmed troops had used "riot dispersal means" – a term used to cover weapons such as rubber bullets and tear gas – against protesters who threw rocks and firebombs at them and blocked a road with burning tyres.
"There are thousands of rioters there," an army spokeswoman told AFP.
"They are rolling burning tyres and throwing Molotov cocktails and fireworks at soldiers and border police," she added.
She could not confirm or deny the use of live rounds.
The protest erupted after allies of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement marched from the West Bank city of Ramallah to the edges of Jerusalem in protest against Israel's war against Hamas militants in Gaza, where the Palestinian death toll has topped 760.
A doctor at Ramallah hospital said three people had died after being shot, including a man in his 20s who was injured in the head, while at least 100 other people were treated for various injuries after the protest. Israel Radio said the protest appeared to be the largest since the 2000-2005 Palestinian second intifada, or uprising.
Israeli troops have killed two other Palestinians this week in smaller confrontations in the West Bank, territory Israel now occupies after capturing it along with Gaza in the 1967 "six-day war".
Protests were also reported in Jerusalem, where police confronted Palestinian protesters in and near the old walled city, including outside a flashpoint holy site revered by Muslims and Jews.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said several officers were injured by rocks thrown at them in Jerusalem and that about 20 protesters were arrested.
I guess your right If talking shit is asking for peace,and asking both sides to look in the mirror and come clean with their respective shortcomings.
Well that's right...Both sides in all Conflicts that is always think they're Right...if they can just stop thinking that they know what's best for one another then there would be Peace.
There are three sides to every conflict - one side, the other, and the truth. It's hard to concede when stakes are this high.
Exactly...Who's going to concede when Both Sides think they're Right...that's why there's so Much War and Conflict all Sides think there Right the other is Wrong that's it...Not to mention War is Money as well.
Exactly...Who's going to concede when Both Sides think they're Right...that's why there's so Much War and Conflict all Sides think there Right the other is Wrong that's it...Not to mention War is Money as well.
That's just a cop-out, and does nothing except empower the oppressor. This is not a two-sided conflict. It's one of the Worlds largest military machines oppressing and terrorizing a largely defenseless people, despite what CNN, or Fox tell you.

see, this is what happens when americans come into these threads, talk out of their butts, get called out on it with facts, and get embarrassed. they can't debate the facts. NOBODY supporting israel can debate or deny the facts. they can't try to justify what is going on, otherwise they appear to be pro war and pro ethnic cleansing, and as a result they get angry and leave instead of trying to learn something. it is as if they are offended that "the best country in the world" has the shittiest, slanted-in-favor-of-israel, media. they need to admit that they are ignorant of the situation, ignorant of the history, ignorant of the root cause of this conflict, rather than come in here and try to pass off some bullshit as fact. don't be embarrassed, probably 65% of all americans who blindly support israel know nothing of the history of the region. all they know is "i am an american christian, and we support israel because we need israel to be there so jesus can come back." we are basing foreign policy on biblical shit, and it is completely irresponsible and reprehensible.
presenting facts does not equal propaganda. the rest of the world opposes israel and it opposes the united states' support of israel. are all of those countries wrong??? or would it be logical to look in the mirror and possibly conclude that "maybe, just maybe, the americans might be on the wrong side of this thing." our hubris does not allow for such self examination and self criticism unfortunately.
yes i am an american. i am a patriot. i love my country, and i expect it to be what it claims to be. a beacon for humanity, peace, justice, righteousness. there is a lot to love about this country, but there is a lot more to criticize. our support of israel is inexcusable. how can we claim to love peace and freedom and allow palestinians to live in an open air prison on what little land they have left? i expect better of my country. a lot better. and i will bash this country when i see that it deserves to be bashed. you should do the same. i am ashamed of my country's policy on this conflict. if you were paying any sort of attention, and if you had any sort of compassion in your heart, you would be ashamed too. do not, ever, fucking question my patriotism.

I'm can't believe a word this guy is saying when he says "great video from the war field." Plus asking where the best place to be to post garbage. I'm not going to go as far as saying he's jot from Israel, I have no idea, but something seems off. I'm not buying it. I'm calling shenanigans.
what is happing is not 'defense', its an outright massacre.

and we wonder why the rest of the world hates us.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Here's a BIG FUCK YOU to ALL the Arab nations out there doing NOTHING. Grow some fucken balls you piece of shit leaders and DO SOMETHING. All you fucken Arab leaders are fake ass Muslims. You stand on the sidelines and allow Israel to rain hell down on them? I'll give the Israelis credit, they stick together when backed into a corner wether right or wrong. You fucken pieces of shit leaders who sold your souls to the devil for power and money. Some fucken Muslims you guys are. I blame Israel and all of you for allowing this to happen.

West Bank Rises, Tens Of Thousands Join Largest March Since Last Intifada
Amid the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza, the West Bank has risen.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians marched with President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement from the West Bank city of Ramallah toward Jerusalem to protest Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza, which has claimed the lives of nearly 800 Palestinians, many of them civilians.
The protest appears to be the largest mass demonstration since the 1980s. The uprising promises to be different from previous intifadas, partly because it comes in the wake of the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street and other mass protest movements around the globe. But the way in which the world engages with protest has also evolved, due to the advent of Twitter and cell phone video, which can focus attention on raw conflict in a way that bypasses the mainstream media. Today's march is being live tweeted at the hashtag #48kMarch.
Reuters reported that protests also broke out in Jerusalem itself, near the old walled city and outside the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Haaretz reported that several protesters have already been killed by Israeli military forces. Reuters quoted hospital officials saying one person had been killed and three others were in critical condition and on life support. Some 200 protesters were injured, a hospital doctor told the news service.
Heather Hurlburt, a national security fellow at Human Rights First, said that Palestinian civil society and non-violence activists have been talking about massive, peaceful marches as a protest tactic since the Arab Spring in 2011. "No one in Israel or the West has much excuse to be surprised or unprepared for this tactic. They've had years to think about how to handle it peacefully," Hurlburt told HuffPost.
Israel captured the West Bank, along with Gaza, during a 1967 war.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
You don't know what you're talking about. You don't have the slightest fucking clue about any of those groups whose names you just reeled off.
And yeah, I remember the London subway. It was an attack inspired by the U.S invasion and occupation of Iraq that killed over a million people. Nothing to do with Palestine, or Hezbollah, or Al Queda.
Here's some advice for you: In future, when you feel inspired to indulge in a 500 word incoherent rant against your imagined threat of Muslims and Jihadi Global terrorrists crawling down your chimney to murder you and your children in your sleep, do yourself a favour - provide some evidence for your claims first. I'm not interested in reading any more of your silly nonsense.
Define 'terrorist organization'.
The Palestinians have been constantly 'PUSHED BACK' for the past 60 fucking years. They now exist on less than 20% of their original homeland. How's that for PUSH BACK?
No offense, but it's perfectly obvious that you don't know the first thing about the Israel-Palestine conflict. If I were you I'd stick to watching CNN and the cartoon channel.
In the meantime, and out in the real World, there have been mass demonstrations in many of Europe's major cities over the past week, including approx 100,000 people marching in London in protest of Israel's latest massacre, and rioting in France.
Read on:
The United Nations General Assembly annually votes on a resolution titled, “Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine.” This resolution uniformly includes these tenets for “achieving a peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine”: (1) “Affirming the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war”; (2) “Affirming also the illegality of the Israeli settlements in the territory occupied since 1967 and of Israeli actions aimed at changing the status of Jerusalem”; (3) “Stresses the need for: (a) The realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, primarily the right to self-determination; (b) The withdrawal of Israel from the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967”; (4) “Also stresses the need for resolving the problem of the Palestine refugees in conformity with its resolution 194 (III) of 11 December 1948.”
2013:
https://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2013/ga11460.doc.htm
Peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine - A/RES/68/15
Vote: 165 Yes, 6 against (Canada, Federated States of Micronesia, Israel, Marshall Islands, Palau, United States) with 6 abstentions (Australia, Cameroon, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, South Sudan, Tonga)
So we have 165 countries on one side calling for a peaceful settlement of the conflict under the terms of U.N Resolution 242, and 6 countries - including Israel and the U.S - on the other; the U.S using it's power of automatic veto at the U.N Security council to block the settlement.
And by the way, three of those countries which voted against the Resolution are destined to disappear under the sea in the near future as a result of global warming, so the U.S and Israel will have even fewer allies in their opposition to a peaceful settlement of the conflict.

Israel bans radio advert listing names of children killed in Gaza
Human rights group B'Tselem will petition Israel's supreme court after advert was deemed to be 'politically controversial'

heguardian.com, Thursday 24 July 2014
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority has banned a radio advertisement from a human rights organisation which listed the names of some of the scores of children killed in Gaza since the conflict began 17 days ago.
B'Tselem's appeal against the decision was rejected on Wednesday. It intends to petition Israel's supreme court on Sunday in an effort to get the ban overturned.
The IBA said the ad's content was "politically controversial". The broadcast refers to child deaths in Gaza and reads out some of the victims' names.
In its appeal, B'Tselem demanded to know what was controversial about the item. "Is it controversial that the children [aren't] alive? That they're children? That those are their names? These are facts that we wish to bring to the public's knowledge."
In a statement, the human rights group said: "So far more than 600 people have been killed in bombings in Gaza, more than 150 of them children. But apart from a brief report on the number of fatalities, the Israeli media refrains from covering them." By Thursday morning, the death toll in Gaza had exceeded 700.
B'Tselem went on: "IBA says broadcasting the children's names is politically controversial. But refusing to do so is in itself a far-reaching statement – it says the huge price being paid by civilians in Gaza, many of them children, must be censored."
Aid agencies said on Wednesday that a child had been killed in Gaza on average every hour for the preceding two days, and more than 70,000 children had been forced to flee their homes. There has also been a spike in the number of premature births.
"The shocking number of children being killed, injured, or displaced in Gaza demands an unequivocal international response to stop the bloodshed," Save the Children said. "Entire families are being wiped out in seconds as a result of the targeting of homes."
Dr Yousif al Swaiti, director of al-Awda hospital, said: "We have witnessed many premature births as a result of the fear and psychological disorders caused by the military offensive. The number of cases of premature births per day has doubled, compared to the average daily rate before the escalation."

But according to some people on this messageboard, such as rr165892, and PhillyCrownofThorns, that's perfectly acceptable. I mean, they're all just Jihadi-Al Queda-Hezbollah, terrorists anyway.
The anti American talk makes me absolutely sick and those who are American and on here bashing your own country WAKE THE FUCK UP you should be ASHAMED .The freedoms your enjoying right now are protected and secured by people who give their lives every day fighting against these very same Jihadi terror groups scumbags your cheering on and supporting.Mind blowing.
Byrnzie, Make no mistake about it ,I live in the south,I Absolutely don't worry one bit about "Muslims and Jihadi terrorists climbing down my chimney to Murder my wife and children"But I do appreciate you looking out for us.
Enjoy.

Israeli soldiers kill three Palestinian demonstrators in West Bank protest
Army says it has used 'riot dispersal means' against protesters but refuses to comment on live round use
Because for Israel, it's perfectly o.k to shoot and kill unarmed demonstrators, just like it was o.k for an Israeli sniper to murder two unarmed Palestinian teenagers in May of this year.
Isral's response to these murders? - "We used rubber bullets". No, they didn't. They used live ammunition, as the doctors who treated the dead testified. But if the Israeli's say it, then it must be true, and the incident will be brushed under the carpet until the next murder occurs, and on it goes, indefinitely.
Meanwhile, when three Israeli teenagers are killed, it sparks a rampage through Palestinian areas, looting to the tune of $1.8 Million, the kidnapping and burning alive of a 15 year old boy, followed by a full-scale military assault on Gaza.

Israeli soldiers have shot and killed three Palestinian protesters and wounded about 100 on Thursday in confrontations with several thousand people demonstrating in the occupied West Bank against a 17-day-old Israeli offensive in Gaza, Palestinian medical officials said.
AFP reported that one of those killed had been named as 25-year-old Mohammed al-Aaraj.
The Israeli military confirmed troops had used "riot dispersal means" – a term used to cover weapons such as rubber bullets and tear gas – against protesters who threw rocks and firebombs at them and blocked a road with burning tyres.
"There are thousands of rioters there," an army spokeswoman told AFP.
"They are rolling burning tyres and throwing Molotov cocktails and fireworks at soldiers and border police," she added.
She could not confirm or deny the use of live rounds.
The protest erupted after allies of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement marched from the West Bank city of Ramallah to the edges of Jerusalem in protest against Israel's war against Hamas militants in Gaza, where the Palestinian death toll has topped 760.
A doctor at Ramallah hospital said three people had died after being shot, including a man in his 20s who was injured in the head, while at least 100 other people were treated for various injuries after the protest. Israel Radio said the protest appeared to be the largest since the 2000-2005 Palestinian second intifada, or uprising.
Israeli troops have killed two other Palestinians this week in smaller confrontations in the West Bank, territory Israel now occupies after capturing it along with Gaza in the 1967 "six-day war".
Protests were also reported in Jerusalem, where police confronted Palestinian protesters in and near the old walled city, including outside a flashpoint holy site revered by Muslims and Jews.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said several officers were injured by rocks thrown at them in Jerusalem and that about 20 protesters were arrested.
presenting facts does not equal propaganda. the rest of the world opposes israel and it opposes the united states' support of israel. are all of those countries wrong??? or would it be logical to look in the mirror and possibly conclude that "maybe, just maybe, the americans might be on the wrong side of this thing." our hubris does not allow for such self examination and self criticism unfortunately.
yes i am an american. i am a patriot. i love my country, and i expect it to be what it claims to be. a beacon for humanity, peace, justice, righteousness. there is a lot to love about this country, but there is a lot more to criticize. our support of israel is inexcusable. how can we claim to love peace and freedom and allow palestinians to live in an open air prison on what little land they have left? i expect better of my country. a lot better. and i will bash this country when i see that it deserves to be bashed. you should do the same. i am ashamed of my country's policy on this conflict. if you were paying any sort of attention, and if you had any sort of compassion in your heart, you would be ashamed too. do not, ever, fucking question my patriotism.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
we constantly make ourselves look stupid, and it takes people posting it on twitter for us to realize it.
