Genocide...

[alger1968]

The number of killed in Gaza is over 1100 (50% children according to UN) and 5000 injuries. It's not enough for Israel ???

[gurufabbes]

Great excuse to justify agression.

Any country can claim something or some claim that wasn't immediate, then try and justify sparking a full out war.

They do matter, and it is very sad. But as you said - intentional killing... innocent people. In Gaza, these people die not because Israel specifically targets them. They die because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. At the same time, Hamas and other Palestinians specifically target Israeli civilians. And that is against international law. Using "non-military" buildings and population is also against international law. But hey does it stop Hamas? Convo over.

and i bet hamas wont stop even when israel withdraws..the motive of israel is not toppling hamas..

Coz if they want to stop rockets all they have to do is let hamas trade and function like a responsible govt..

[nilo723]

so i guess 410 dead children dont really matter that much to a person like u..

The numbers dont matter..Intentional killing of even a single innocent person cannot be justified..and if u watch more video,u would get to know how many buildings have been bombed and fired without sufficient knowledge..and by buildings, i mean THE WHOLE BUILDINGS being demolished without proper information..these are war crimes according to international law..

[nilo723]

DEATH TO ISRAEL!

Not anti-semitism or anything..but i support the idea of dismantling the illegal occupying regime of israel and independence of Palestine..

[vital427]

Yes, and who are these "UN sources" in Gaza? Palestinians. Just like the people who take pictures there, the people who write reports for journals and newspapers in the West. The hidden Palestinian propaganda. And the West is blind.

You must be glossing over the truth. Hamas' Health Ministry in Gaza claims 410 dead children out of 1,199 dead Palestinians (Reuters report, Jan 17, 2009). Google it.

So, someone is lying. Either UN, Hamas, or you.

[SABLJA89]

This war didn´t start with Hamas shooting pathetic rockets that have killed noone in Israel, this started with the stealing of palestinian land, ethnic cleansing of palestinians from their land and then besieiging Gaza in 18 months prior to Hamas started launching rockets, no food, no medicine no nothing except what little that could be smuggled through tunnels, and israel plays shocked and asks why hamas fired rockets, who wouldn´t in that despereate seat?

[ytbrtzg]

The proportional response for Israel is that which will stop the rockets. Until then, Israel has the right to respond to the Hamas state terrorism. When Hamas stops, Israel will stop.
