Exposed Aftermath in Gaza Massacre - Digging bodys from the rubble - 2009

Palestinians have begun returning to their homes in the Gaza Strip, a day after Israel unilaterally halted its offensive against Hamas militants.

There is widespread shock at the devastation left behind by three weeks of Israeli bombing.

Some found the experience of seeing their homes destroyed overwhelming.

Others set about digging bodies from the rubble. More than 1,300 Palestinians are already reported to have been killed during the campaign, according to Palestinian sources.

Here in Rafah, near Gaza's border with Egypt, curious onlookers gathered around an unexploded Israeli bomb.

Some Israeli troops have begun withdrawing from Gaza, after their leaders said the objectives of the campaign - to stop or reduce rocket attacks on Israel - had been achieved.

Soldiers were clearly relieved and delighted to be called back home. Thirteen Israelis were killed during the offensive.

But in a reminder that conflict has not been left behind, Palestinian militants fired more rockets on southern Israel, prompting an immediate Israeli response.

All day, thousands of Gazans have been rushing back to their neighbourhoods to see what is left after Israel's campaign of bombing and shelling.


Gaping holes and fire-blackened cars litter the streets in the areas hit hardest by the fighting.

I have spoken to some people who say they have not even been able to find their way round their bomb-damaged neighbourhoods, never mind find the remains of their homes.

Many simply turned round and returned to the UN-run schools they fled to amid the fighting.

But for some Gazans even attempting to return home is virtually unimaginable.

Palestine & Israel: David & Goliath respectively, of our times.

Religion of Islam, naturally, orders one of two choices when persecuted: 1. flight, or 2. fight.

1. Palestinians are the largest group of refugees in the world; over 2 million.

2. Those who chose to fight whether they be labeled Hamas, or by any other names such as Freedom Fighters, will fight until a Just Palestine country exists.

If Palestine can't exist, then there will be no peace for Jews.

Well of couse they won't. You're talking AlJazeera, the terrorist network.

Israel do nothing to these people. Hamas did. And being they allowed Hamas the terrorist group to rule over them. That makes them terrorist as well. if they don't won't these to happen again. It'll be best if they got rid of Hamas.

they only wish to make any settlement impossible , every time the non amerikkkan world becomes impatient with their aggressions and requires a change in their behaviour , they stage a grand provocation , either by false flag (9 / 11) or in open contempt of decency (gaza) . the suffocating blanket of the zionist owned western media . has not had enough holes burned through it YET , the internet is the phosphor bomb crashing above their heads .the truth will redeem AL QDS
