40+ Killed in Israeli Strike on Gaza School Sheltering Refugees

In the deadliest attack since Israel launched its assault on Gaza twelve days ago, up to forty-two Palestinians died on Tuesday after Israel fired mortars at a United Nations school that was sheltering Palestinians who had been forced to flee their homes. Fifty-five Palestinians were also wounded in the attack. Doctors said all of the victims were civilians, including many children. We speak with Christopher Gunness of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

Vatican official: Gaza resembles concentration camp

ROME (JTA) -- A senior Vatican official said the conditions in Gaza "resembled ever more a big concentration camp."

Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino, the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace said "violence does not resolve problems, and history is full of confirmations of this."

The ones who pay the price are always innocent populations." Will Israel attack Vatican now?

Shame why don't the sick Arabs go back to their country ie eastern Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman. The other Arab speaking countries are illegally occupied by Arab pirates. When the Arabs captured Jerusalem in 636 they killed thousands, they killed thousands at Yarmuk. The Arabs killed 1000 Maronites in Beiruit in 1990, the Palestinians killed forty in 1982 in Rome, Assad has killed 6000, Haphez has killed 40,000 at Homs, in Beirut 200 Americans were killed in 1982 etc

c'mon for god seek who would put a human chield into a school

[brovic777]

Yea, I agree that Israel knew where they were firing into. But Israel don't care for jack about the Palestinians, which is the reason Hamas uses their own people as Human shields to keep themselves from being killed.

Imagine, using ur neighbors as human shields to protect you from being killed. Hamas should fight very far away from places of refuge.

But in the end, they need to stop the bloodshed altogether. I see no peace unless a UN Peacekeepers are put in place in Gaza.
