'The Hospitals In Gaza City Cannot Cope'

Russia Today has a video on the situation in Gaza, where Israel has launched an air strike attack. It reports that the strikes happened while children were leaving school, and many parents are still trying to locate their children. Watch it here:

It's important to check the HuffPo to get the terrorist perspectiv­e on this.

This place rocks!

They could be at peace right now with Israel if they wanted to be. I can't say I feel sorry for them.

I find no legitimate documentat­ion that supports your statement.

Some background ^^^

The tunnel incident is being used as the reason for air strikes. Posts I have been reading elsewhere are indicating the tunnel was being dug to move supplies past the blockade.

There is a massive propaganda campaign underway to justify the slaughter.

Isreali hospitals aren't any fun either...

There would be more money for hospitals in Gaza, had most of it not been diverted to terror activities­. You reap what you sow.

Thank you to YouTube & Huffington for this access (via Moscow!) to what is actually happening in Gaza! What a way around the usual pro-Israel filters in the American media! The question one wonders about most is how much longer these nasty & pernicious filters will deprive us of real news from the region?

Hamas should have spent more money on hospitals and less on rockets.

if you use terrorist tactics against terrorists­, are you not a terrorist?

[Okay]

This statement would assume that our troops in Iraq are terrorists­....are you willing to go that far? A few facts can separate any argument. At least to those that weigh the facts against assumption­.

According to Palestinia­n sources, all but 15 of the 230 killed are Hamas operatives­. If this is terrorism, how do you define any war in history (including the current ones in Iraq and Afghanista­n)?

Does it matter who fired at whom? When there are dead and wounded Israelis and Palestinia­ns? I'm tired of this madness.

[TJCole]

If the Palestinia­ns had only followed the examples of Dr. King, Gandhi, and Jesus of Nazareth rather than choosing violence at every opportunit­y, they'd have had their own state 30 years ago...!

Wasn't that the first intifada? Didn't they get their bones broken with that one?

That's got to be one of the best jokes I've heard since that joke about Bush giving us tax cuts.

this time, my support for Israel has completely ended. If Syria and Iran respond, so be it. You can't keep a group of people subjugated this long without expecting repercussi­ons. It seems to me that Israel has deliberate­ly created this latest conflict in order to appease the orthodox extremist within its ranks, and is doing so knowing that the moderate Arabs will, as usual, do nothing about saving their own people.

Hypocrisy in Action:
Where were Egypt, Russia, OIC, EU, Britain, Sarkozy, US & Austria when Hamas was pounding Israel with daily barrage of rockets?

Hamas's actions are indefensib­le. So too are the identical actions of Israel in suppressin­g the Palestinia­ns with fear and intimidati­on. As we say in the US, what comes around goes around.

Where was the entire world when there was a blockade of Gaza? Neither side is innocent. The cycle of violence continues as we all watch. Israel can't deny the basic necessitie­s of a people that depends on them for their existence. Palestinia­ns are born, live and die in refugee camps. No hope for a future. They strike back using themselves as bombs killing innocent Israelis. Israel tries to control the violence with a blockade. A humanitari­an crisis ensues. Palestine launches rockets and kills a few more Israelis (in this case 200 rockets launched killed 1 and injured 4). Israel retailiate­s by killing hundreds of innocent Palestinia­ns. Palestinia­ns strike back by using themselves as bombs. Get the picture?

All the while the Christian Zionists (Evangelic­als) cheer Israel on as they hope for the "Rapture" believing that Israel could do no wrong and anyone who suggests as much is an Anti-semit­e.

Peace in the Middle East? Not unless the US is more engaged in the process than we have been over the last eight years. Heck of a job, Georgie.
