Another "mistake".

You know, if Hamas just claimed that all of their rocket attacks against civilian areas were "mistakes", and that they were really trying to hit Israeli military installations, Israel would have no right to complain.

Right?

I wonder what Hamas would target if they had such precise weappons like the Israelis have.

Another "mistake".

Israel makes a lot of "mistakes" when it comes to UN property. In fact, the only time I hear them speak positively of the UN is when it comes to UNGAR 181.

The white phosphorous again...

U.N. aid storehouse on fire in Gaza

Fighting between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen in Gaza City set part of a U.N. relief agency's central storehouse for humanitarian aid on fire, its director said today. John Ging, with the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, said staffers identified the source of the fire as white phosphorous shells. International law restricts use of the shells. full story

More blunders by the IDF, this would be tragi-comical, if it weren't so sad and horrific. Now even Prime Minister Gordon Brown condemns the attack as "indefensible".

 

[WildCat]

Any evidence at all that it was an Israeli shell that hit the building?

Anyone?

Bueller?

 

[Skeptic]

The IDF claims the building was used by Hamas to fire at Israeli troops, according to (for example) the Jerusalem Post.

Of course they're lying -- Hamas would NEVER use civilian buildings to hide fighters in.

You Zionist Apologists can whine as mcuh as you like no one believes you anymore.

The world has seen the lies and the vile diseregard for Palestinian civilians by Israel.

No disputes that Hamas fires from civilian areas. But the fact is that Israel fires back knowing civilians are in there. Israel there fore willingly firing at civilians.

Only yesterday I saw a news report where a palestinian mother cam out of her house holding a white flag. An IDF Soldier shot 2 of her daughters dead, the 3rd daughter is in hospital in a coma with a bullet lodged in her brain. She will probably wake up.

Another little palestinian boy had 2 bullets lodged in his brain. Doc shows the catscan and said this was done at close range.

Go on cry propaganda why don't you!!


I'm starting to have nothing but contempt for the heartless 'Israel can do no wrong' crowd. Their views make me sick.

There's real carnage going on in Gaza and this Israel BS about not targeting civilians is complete lies.

Israel could care less. They've ignored over 100 UN resolutions over the years. They are getting away with this because of the backing the US. UK and other countries and the age old ADL'esque indoctrination that criticism of the Zionist Agenda is Anti-Semitic.

If this was Russia attacking some perhipheral territory Condoleeza Rice would be pooping her barbed wire panties over the evils of Russia. But it's different when Israel does it.

And at any rate dropping white phosphorous over civilian areas is vile, Geneva convention or not.

Hell, that's nothing compared to this Israeli atrocity:

“All my nine children are buried under the ruins,” a resident of Jenin named Abu Ali told the Le Nouvel Observateur, a French weekly magazine. The weekly apparently did not do any checking; it dutifully reported Ali’s story of losing his children in a piece titled “The Survivors Tell Their Stories.” Newspapers in the U.K. went into a positive frenzy, running pieces like the Independent’s “The Camp that Became a Slaughterhouse.”

Finally, in August 2002, the U.N. sent a team to investigate charges of a massacre. The U.N. — no friend of Israel — found no evidence of a massacre, and it supported IDF claims that about 45 Palestinians had died, mostly men aged 18 to 45. It confirmed only three children and four women. Abu Ali’s nine children were not among them.

And people wonder why I don't believe Hamas.

Another little palestinian boy had 2 bullets lodged in his brain. Doc shows the catscan and said this was done at close range.

An Israeli soldier shot a child in the head at close range, twice, and the kid's head didn't explode like a melon dropped off a ten-story building? When did the IDF start issuing air rifles and BB guns to its troops? I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the truth is that the kid was shot by a Hamas terrorist with a .22. Remember, the only thing Islamist fascists love more than a dead Jew is a dead Palestinian.

You know what did explode just now? My BS detector.

 

[Skeptic]

Well, I was wrong. There were no Hamas men in the compound. It was a mistaken firing of a tank shell (I think).

How do I know this? Did brave truth fighters on the internet inform me of the Zionist lies Israel is spreading?

Well, not exactly.

The fact that the original claim was in error, and that an investigation showed that the firing was a mistake, was reported extensively, a couple of hours after the original report, on Israel's national news channel, as well as most other news channels in the country.

The news further reported that the commander of the Gaza area has personally (a) admitted the mistake in the original report, (b) set up an investigative team to find out how the firing happened, and (c) will report the findings to the government and to the UN itself.

It's truely shocking, isn't it, the way the evil Zionist media covers up the IDF's mistakes.

Of course for some people here, the IDF and Israel never make mistakes -- only "mistakes". Well, I wish these "intelligent" people a "long" and "happy" life.

No disputes - or no moral qualm? You obviously could not care less that the elected government of Palestine is endangering the civilians its supposed to protect by using military ordinance in civilian areas!

Oh the hypocrisy.

Such a lame argument. Considering Gaza one of the most densely populated areas Then there is always going to civilians somewhere close by. Isreal knows this but it doesn't care about Palestinian civilians. This has been proven time and time again

I can see you are a Zionist Apologist. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Fixed.

Hamas is breaking international law by placing military ordinance in civilian population centers.

This is a warcrime. Do you agree or disagree?
