Reports suggest Israeli forces using cluster bombs in Gaza.

Haaretz reports that, as Israeli ground forces entered Gaza yesterday, “hundreds of shells were fired, including cluster bombs aimed at open areas.” FireDogLake’s Siun writes, “The use of cluster bombs — which have a large footprint when initially dropped and then remain a threat for decades — in a location like the Gaza Strip which is so packed with people is horrifying.” (FDL notes that video footage seems to confirm the use of cluster bombs.) Last summer, a former Israeli defense official said that “the Israeli military used cluster bombs for two weeks during the 2006 Lebanon war without telling the Israeli government.” At the time, the UN decried the use of the bombs as “completely immoral.”

(Note: The photo shows Israeli forces dropping white phosphorus shells, which “can cause horrific burns but is not illegal if used as a smokescreen.”)

UpdateAn Israeli soldier was killed in a gunbattle with Gaza militants today, the first since Israel launched its ground operation. "In addition to the fatality, 31 Israel Defense Forces soldiers have been wounded, three of them seriously." Gaza medical personnel said a woman and four of her children were among the 35 Palestinians killed during an Israeli ground operation today. Meanwhile, "Palestinian terrorists continued their bombardment of southern Israel, firing some 41 rockets and mortar shells since Sunday morning."
UpdateThe Bush administration blocked approval of a U.N. Security Council statement calling for an immediate cease-fire between Israel and Gaza.

    Cluster bombs we built, evert single weapon Israel is using are US weapons. Our 100% support of Israel no matter what they do is immoral and completely counter-productive.


  2. stateofthedivision Says:

    Israel and the US are two of the biggest manufacturers of cluster munitions. Both countries opposed the UN effort to ban cluster bombs worldwide.

    I saw night footage that looked like White Phosphorous falling from the sky onto Gaza.

    Those Palestinians killed an Israeli solider so I guess an other couple of palestinian civilians need to die. Now it's cluster bombs one of the most inhumane
    devices known to man made in the USA as bsb pointed out

    updated 9:02 a.m. MT, Fri., May. 30, 2008

    DUBLIN, Ireland - Diplomats from 111 nations formally adopted a landmark treaty banning cluster bombs on Friday after futile calls for participation by the weapons’ biggest makers and users, particularly the United States...However, the talks did not involve the biggest makers and users of cluster bombs: the United States, Russia, China, Israel, India and Pakistan. And the pact leaves the door open for new types that could pick targets more precisely and contain self-destruct technology...

    I'm sorry but at the current time Obama's role in this is no different than any other American citizen and that's sad enough. Where are the so called "compassionat christains"?

    Where is America's moral compass?


  10. Zooey Says:

    The ONLY reason to use cluster bombs in a place as densely populated as Gaza would be to target civilians.

    Wake up, world!!

  15. Fred Says:

    What, no trolls to defend the use of cluster bombs on civilians? Looks like they could at least deny it.....oh yeah, there are pictures.


  16. Jackie Says:

    Cluster bombs are illegal and Israel said they didn't use them on Hezbollah but they did as some remains were found. Yes the US stock piled Israels weapons with illegal bombs and the United Nstions now has a much bigger problem. All the countries will now buy weapons to protect their citizens from an invasion by Israel who has a Nuclear Weapon to use if necessary. Iran, North Korea, Syria and every nation without weapons or Nukes should start buying them quick. Now Iran can use the illegal invasion plus the illegal weapons Israel is doing to support their own need for Nukes. The US/Israel Leaders weren't thinking when they planned this invasion years ago. Many wonder why now well it's an election year for Israel and McCain/Palin lost. This would have not happen if Republicans won the White House again. Joe Lieberman the Israel cell had plans to not only wipe out Palestine but Egypt and others as well. Now this will bring change to the Middle East as we watch the Palestine Holocaust Massacre. All the lies Israel is reporting even the World Leaders don't buy it. Bush is to far in this and can't get out. The US taxpayers gave billions of dollars and thousands of weapons over the pass 8 years for this invasion and other countries too. Iran now has reason to develope Nuclear Weapon as they could be invaded by Israel next. Syria should wake up and buy weapons as Israel already bombed them based on lies. The United Nations is helpless as the Bush Policy led the way for lies, illegal invasion and killing of millions on just a thought or a maybe. No wonder the terrorist picked Bush/Cheney and not Clinton. I guess the terrorist were up set with Americans as we picked Obama/Biden. Just think McCain/Palin would have brought down the US and the terrorist would have been cheering around the world it would be that easy for them. Now Israel has much bigger problemss. This Palestine Holocaust Massacre will now join the Middle Eastern countries to work together as one. Yes 1948 the US/UK requested that Jewish people be allowed to settle on Palestine land but soon that will be overturned as Issrael is seen for what they are Axis of Evil. Now most Jewish people aren't for this massacre but what's sad is the Israel Leaders have destroyed the honesty and Peace Israel once had. Hitler must be proud as the Jewish people suffered and told the World never forget yet Israel is acting just like the man they called Evil. History has shown the Jewish Holocaust, Ruwanda Massacre, US illegal invasion of Iraq and now the Palestine Holocaust Massacre. I guess Palestine will have a Holocaust Museum to show their horror like the Jewish Holocaust Museum.


  17. Fred Says:

    Israel says there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

    But the Israeli human rights group Gisha said Israeli airstrikes have left Gaza's water and sewage system on the verge of collapse. About one-third of the 1.4 million residents are cut off from the water supply and 75 percent of Gaza is currently without electricity, including the territory's largest hospital, Shifa, the report said.


  18. CParis Says:

    I say they just nuke the entire place from space. It's the only way to be sure they get all the terrists.

    These wingnuts are crazy.


  19. stateofthedivision Says:

    Fred, I posted a headline from Ynet News and a portion of the article. Needless to say, I was surprised by Bloomberg's statement.


  20. stateofthedivision Says:

    This is very much a redux of summer 2006 with Lebanon. Olmert's trying to clean up his legacy as the corrupt Prime Minister leaves office in shame.

    The U.S. helped plan the Lebanese operation and likely had a hand in the current operation. The Guardian reported:

    The US government was closely involved in planning the Israeli campaign in Lebanon, even before Hizbullah seized two Israeli soldiers in a cross border raids in July.

    Who was Bush's special Middle East Envoy for Palestinian-Israeli security? General James L. Jones, President elect Obama's National Security Adviser. This might explain Barack's silence.


  21. Another Joe Says:

    It's much worse than this - they are using DEPLETED URANIUM too. Both are war crimes, but chimpy has gotten away with both too.


  22. had enough Says:

    Isn't the big elephant in the room the fact we, US, in 1948 helped create Israel, placing it in that region so we would have a friend close to Arab oil? If the tables were turned and another country armed a region to oversee our resource, I do not think we, US would take it kindly.

    This is what the "Gaza operation" LOOKS like.
    This video shows the result of an airstrike into Gaza resulting in men, women, and children being slaughtered in a marketplace.
    The words "military operation" sound so clinical and sanitary, yet seeing what they are actually doing is quite another thing.
    There is nothing humane about it.
    This is a slaughter.

    Confirmation comes directly from an Israeli newspaper...Haaretz.com

    from the link at the top of the page

    The ground invasion was preceded by large-scale artillery shelling from around 4 P.M., intended to "soften" the targets as artillery batteries deployed along the Strip in recent days began bombarding Hamas targets and open areas near the border. Hundreds of shells were fired, including cluster bombs aimed at open areas.

    Think before you post


  30. nwmuse Says:

    It is no wonder that Israel won't allow journalists into GAZA to report on what is happening.


  31. stateofthedivision Says:

    While the picture may not be cluster munitions, the Haaretz piece clearly states Israel dropped cluster bombs on Gaza. Read before you criticize.


  32. sacopenapa Says:

    What is ObamaShortChange is doing about all this? SILENCE! And please... none of that nonsense of "one president at a time". ObamaShortChange's silence is saying where Obama stands! While World wide comndenation is being loudly voiced, US Media is doing its best to support the Terrosist State of Israel. It argues that Hamas has to stop rockets attacks... no mention of the fact that Hamas has won elections and US/UK/Israel have done everything to undo the results of that election and have punished the Palestinian occupied population with sanction, financial stragulation, humnger and the destruction of essetial infrastructure in Gaza. Thus the rockets non Israel.

    Obama, if you stand for CHANGE, at least SAY SOMETHING! Children, women and inocent people are being murdered with US's bombs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  33. EnnuiDivine Says:

    There's no question that a humanitarian crisis exists in Gaza and the use of cluster bombs in a densely packed civilian area is tantamount to a war crime.

    That said, much of what I read on this site regarding Operation Cast Lead is typical one-sided rhetoric. Equating the situation in Gaza with the Holocaust is hyperbole and disgraceful. Israel is NOT aiming to exterminate all Palestinians. European Jews in Nazi-occupied lands didn't invite the slaughter by shelling Germans.

    The only humane end to the situation is for Palestinians to renounce Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The actions of a few are causing the suffering of many.

    Thank you for posting this my observant friend. I saw the white phosphorous picture. Israel is conducting genocide in line with the Nazis with Warsaw. I also heard of some depleted uranium being used. Mike Bloomberg goes there and everything is OK. Cynthia McKinney has her boat rammed.

    If the Zionists wanted to end "terrorism", then they have the Mossad to go in an take out individuals. Wholesale slaughter of innocent children AND everyday people is genocide, no matter what the Israel firsters here and on other blogs say.

    Where is Obama???????? He is torn between his conscience and his corporate and Zionist masters (Biden, Rahmmie, Bryzenski, Clinton, Gates, James Jones, Holder, ad nauseum). I actually feel sorry for Obama. I think underneath him, there is a Progressive, but you all know the story of fleas and sleeping with dogs.

    For all of you Coincidence Theorists, here are some interesting facts:

    John F Kennedy

    1) He would eliminate the CIA,

    2) He would issue Treasury greenbacks (which don’t pay interest) in lieu of financing government deficits through the Federal Reserve

    3) He spoke against empowering the state of Israel with nuclear capability.

    Israel wants control of the entire Middle East from Syria to the "istans". The arming of Georgia by the US and Israel was a test run, but they did not expect such a fierce response by the Russians, who know quite well what the Zionists are up to.

    The picture shows what appears to be artillery shells which shower a cloud of sub munitions across a wide area. The thick white smoke suggests "white phosphorus". Whether the white phosphorus is being used as an incendiary device or it's the detonator for the "bomblets" is unclear. To use either one on civilians is horrendous.

    No doubt tomorrow the U.S. will parade Dana Perino in a nice, clean pink or white suit, or Tony Fratto in a nice, clean suit, or his eminence, George W. Bush in grand attire to explain everything to the U.S. people. At that point, I hope that everyone at the press conference takes off their shoes and makes appropriate use of them. The U.S. is denying any wrongdoing in Israel's actions. It's reminiscent of their stand when Hitler was slaughtering the Jews in Europe.

    Radical1a, Not sure if you are being snarky, or believe what you say. But a few things clarified:

    I have been extremely critical of Obama AFTER his capitulation to the telecoms. I have gotten into many fights with people who voted for him. However, just about everyone knows how I feel. Do I think he fooled people? Yes, but I was still willing to see how he does after January 20th. All I want from him is to open his mouth on Gaza.

    When it comes to Gaza genocide, we throw away our differences. Any humane person, Right or Left is on the same side. We oppose mass murder of innocents. If a person thinks Palestinian innocents are worthy of murder then you are either AIPAC, Mossad, or Pathological. This is not a Liberal vs Conservative issue.

    thanks, pete, @57...

    i see that faiz is reading and heeding the comments; he's added:
    (Note: The photo caption for this image states, “Israeli artillery shells explode with a chemical agent designed to create smokescreen for ground forces”)

    now i'm all the more confused... no matter the exact explanation -
    it all amounts to death and destruction, of the needless variety...

    radical1a Says:

    you would think that with the Israelis massing on the gaza border last week that Hezbolla would have had better things to do than shoot rockets at israeli civilians don’t you people ?

    You do not even know the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas. What an idiot you reveal yourself to be with each post.

    And because you are not adding to the conversation, but trolling for the sake of your own stupidity, I am going to flag all your posts. I suggest others do the same.

    A couple of questions?

    Are you stupid, brainwashed, or Mossad?

    What is your main sources of news concerning the Middle East and Gaza?

    What would you do if you were penned in a concentration camp, deprived of essential supplies, and saw your family killed?

  102. Brain From Planet Arous Says:

    Wayne, I am not sure what side of the fence this radical1a is. Like I said, this Gaza situation is equally appalling to Libertarians and Progressives alike. Maybe he just likes attention or his mom had chicken pox when she was pregnant. You know, saying an orange is red just to start something.

    I do know that the Zionists (Rahmmie, Kristol, etc) are enjoying this slaughter, as are the Dittoheads and O-Reillyites. IMO, this whole Palestinian/Terrorist situation has been a setup from at least 9/11 on, perhaps before that. Watch out for those Zionists, and I mean that.

    It's counter productive for them too. They never convince anyone of anything but you can't just let it pass either.

    Funny, no one tries those kind of methods when faced with real people unless they are in a group that has been pre-determined to be like minded.


  104. Jackie Says:

    The update that Bush Administration blocked the cease-fire is clear what Israel/US plan was from the beginning. Palestine Holocaust Massacre plan is to wipe Palestine of the face of the earth and move on to Egypt next. Cluster bombs are used and the Middle Eastern Countries better start stocking up on weapons and Iran is free to develope a Nuclear Weapon to protect their citizens from an Israel invasion/attack. Syria is buying weapons from Russia right now but they should think about buying one of those Nuclear Weapons as well. North Korea is smiling now they can legally keep their Nuclear Weapons just in case their attacked.


  105. Brain From Planet Arous Says:

    Fred, you also know very well that most of these psychotic Bush and Zionist supporters would never talk face to face like they do on these threads. Myself, I like to converse online how I would in person, even though that can get heated.

    This radicalass is just a monkey wrench thrower, and probably not from CIA/Mossad. Intelligence agencies like to make it seem like they are "one of the good guys". How do I know? Back in the post 9/11 days, I administered a large political site, and they were less careful about IP spoofing and Proxy surfing than they are today. We were tracking origins from Langley and finding anti-Muslim sites that looking Israeli, even with original language, coming from Texas. I even caught one guy who hacked into the site, coming from a military base in Germany. I still have the SQL database from those days.

  109. Badger Says:

    Egypt maintains a large and professional army which numbers 440,0003 personnel -- comparable in size to the armies of Syria, Iraq and Iran.

    The Hamas Rockets, which supposedly precipitated this crisis, are certainly being smuggled into Gaza across the Egyptian Border by means of tunnels.

    One end of these tunnels comes out in Egyptian territory, in the open desert close to the border.

    The Egyptian Govt. has blocked shipments of food, medicine, fuel and other Necessities of Life for the Citizens of Gaza,
    but supposedly can't stop the smuggling of Rockets .

    Hamas is allied with the Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks the overthrow of the Egyptian Govt.

    What's Wrong with this Picture???


  110. stateofthedivision Says:

    Brain, I hadn't thought about Rahm Emanuel's role in Barack Obama's tongue tiedness.

    Fixing Israeli military vehicles during the first Gulf War was an important cog in America's running Saddam back to Baghdad. Never the less, Rahm sells himself as IDF tough.

    Did Emanuel renounce his Israeli citizenship or is he dual like Michael Chertoff and numerous other Bushies? Oh yeah, Rahm's father is an admitted terrorist, just of the right stripe.

    There's so much for Obama to be silent over...

  112. radical1a Says:

    I have sat here and read your posts and it is clear to me that you people do not understand , to have peace it takes multiple peoples wanting peace and the muslims do not . what is going on today has happened before . Israel gives the Palestinian people

    Dumb Question: How do the "shot or bombed" per 1,000 population in the past month compare for Gaza vs. Israel, Gaza vs. Iraq, etc. I bet it is extremely high.

    Not to mention, what is the medical death rate / life expectancy for folks in Gaza and Iraq compare to Israel and the USA ? Again, being bombed into the stone ages, blockade of humanitarian aid, etc. lead me to believe that even basic sanitation isn't being kept up.

  128. Badger Says:

    radical1a,

    That's not my point. Gaza isn't big enough to keep Israel busy very long.

    My point is that Arab Governments, who are publicly Condeming Israel's Invasion, are secretly hoping Israel puts Hamas out of Business. Hamas is Iran's Proxy. The innocent Palestinians are caught in the Middle.

    Why can't Egypt stop the rocket smuggling, if they really wanted to?????


  129. radical1a Says:

    Hey Barfly is that what you want ? a Nuclear exchange between Iran and Israel ?


  130. radical1a Says:

    Badger what makes you think that Egypt would want to ? Syria could stop Hezbolla if they wanted to but neither want to and besides like bucktoothed Mole Rats they can tunnel faster than the egyptians can find them and they are big tunnels .

    how many israeli children are going without medication due to the government of gaza?

    how many israeli children are going without potable water due to the government of gaza?

    how many israeli children are sealed off from humanitarian relief efforts due to the government of gaza?

    how many israeli children are going without food due to the government of gaza?

    yeah, troll, i can see how the israelis really have been dealt a harsh blow in this situation.


  135. pete Says:

    The curse was from me, stupid troll. I reserve it for those who celebrate the use of military action against civilian populations. And, for the record, I feel the same way about terrorists.

    What your stunted intellect can't seem to grasp is that it's possible to condemn both sides. Though indiscriminate shelling of a concentration camp, filled with the sick and starving, seems less justifiable than victims lashing out at those who have stolen their freedom and dignity.

    Hamas has fired multiple rockets into Israel hours after six fighters died during Israel's first major incursion into the Gaza Strip since June's truce.

    DUBLIN, Ireland - Diplomats from 111 nations formally adopted a landmark treaty banning cluster bombs on Friday after futile calls for participation by the weapons' biggest makers and users, particularly the United States…However, the talks did not involve the biggest makers and users of cluster bombs: the United States, Russia, China, Israel, India and Pakistan. And the pact leaves the door open for new types that could pick targets more precisely and contain self-destruct technology…

    Israelis/Jews should be tried for war crimes also. The Israelis/Jews are the maker of this Holocaust, they should be tried as such.

    Israelis/Jews are cowards and irrational. "Their government" is too much like chimpy's mindless mindset.

    They will receive little support from me, they are massacring innocent people. Its like the US bombing an anthill.

    Israel must destroy as much of Hamas as possible before the MSM and the idiots and ignorants whine loud enough for them to stop. They must only quit when they are ready.

    For EVERY missile shot into Israel at least ONE missile should be returned to the area as close as possible to the shooter. Tit for tat. Every single missile should be returned. Period.

    by Glenn Greenwald

    Former McCain-Palin campaign spokesman and current Weekly Standard editor Michael Goldfarb notes that Israel, a couple of days ago, dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on a Gazan home which killed a top Hamas leader . . . in addition to 18 others, including his four wives and nine of his children. About the killing of those innocent civilians, Goldfarb writes (h/t John Cole via email):

    The fight against Islamic radicals always seems to come around to whether or not they can, in fact, be deterred, because it's not clear that they are rational, at least not like us. But to wipe out a man's entire family, it's hard to imagine that doesn't give his colleagues at least a moment's pause. Perhaps it will make the leadership of Hamas rethink the wisdom of sparking an open confrontation with Israel under the current conditions.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_al-Husayni

    Hamas is what makes Gaza much worse than it could be. If they would give up the dream of destroying Israel and stopped all missiles and suicide bombers, and all terrorist attacks, Israel would welcome doing business with them, and things would be peaceful. There is no negotiating with a mad man, or with Jihadists who want to die to go get their 72 virgins.
    But don't worry, I bet Israel will quit too early. If Israel is destroyed, terrorism in the rest of the world will just increase, it will never stop, as long as their are Radical or rather, Fundamentalist Muslims.

    Well, count me a Hamas defender, then. I don't support killing them - I support negotiating with them. Hamas is not a monolith and it's not a cartoon supervillain. It's a political party with its own factions and divisions, and though it has its share of radical nutjobs, it also has rational actors who will be willing work towards a solution.

    Unfortunately, that solution will require the destruction of Israel as an all-Jewish state, but that's the breaks. Shoulda thought of that back in 1967.

    I think you play too many video games. When you're comfortable in your chair, and you have a nuclear arsenal at your disposal. there is no consequences to your actions except blood pressure and ulcers.

    In the real world, after Truman was pressured to drop 2 nukes, and Eisenhower actually wanted to drop one in the Pacific as a warning, Russia wasted no time in arming itself against a US full of Zionists and Nazis (look up Operation Paperclip to see where many of these Nazis went to). Japan was ready to surrender, irregardless of getting nuked.

    Now we have Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan all who do not like the US and Israel too much. I am saying that the use of Nuclear weapons can and will escalate into something that you could not imagine in your baby game-playing mind. Do you really seriously think that's all that is needed? Wipe out 2 million people because Israel broke a ceasefire on November 5th? What amazes me is that GW Bush, Ariel Sharon, and Ehud Olmert have the same juvenile psychotic and sociopathic World View that a person like you has. You know the kind....tortures animals and gets pleasure in seeing people killed. And....I will preempt your statement of, "Arabs strap bombs and kill innocents". That is a hideous, last ditch effort by a group of people cornered, with nothing left to lose. I didn't care for Bill Clinton too much, but we were very close to having Arabs and Israelis communicating. You would throw the entire planet in peril, much like Israel and the US has been doing the past 8 years. I do hope Obama goes against his Zionist ear-whisperers, and bring some peace over there.

    "even the XTian/Jewish bibles PROVE that ISRAEL was STOLEN by the Jews originally - Jews are Iraqi NOT ISRAELI!"

    Provide a link to your BS claim. I won't hold my breath because you never do. Fat boy? You must be rather large approaching obease to make. Now run away to another thread...like you always do.

    Fact 1:
    Gaza is occupied by terrorists, and their supporters
    (wives, children, relatives, old folks etc).
    I call them supporters because these silly fools refuse to distance themselves from their friends and spouses who are doing terrorist acts. If you knew your redneck neighbour was making bombs, would you still hve coffee with him?

    Fact 2:
    The daring Gazan men will resort to weapons and violence.
    The not-so-daring ones will still spiritually support their actions and will never condemn any acts of violence.
    Even if a Muslim kills the US president, other Muslims worldwide will just keep quiet and will not condemn. Y'see....Muslims are all the same, regardless of country of origin and social background.
    I am from Malaysia...I know.

    Fact 3 :
    In short, everyone in Gaza are terrorists....directly or indirectly, consciously or sub-consiously.
    They all have hatred for Israel and other whitemen,especially the Americans.

    Fact 4:
    You wanna kill a hornet's nest, you must kill em all.
    This military action will result in many Gazan survivors becoming future terrorsits and suicide bombers. It fuels hatred. Before, the Gazan muslims were already extremists with deviant beliefs. Now,with the bombing, they will go crazy. We must flatten Gaza.

    Fact 5:
    Israel is not stupid.
    Israel knows the rockets will still be coming in.
    Israel knows it's impossible to target just the Hamas, who're hiding amongst their families and underground,
    The solution is simple, and happening now....Israel is systematically and slowly destroying the Gaza Strip daily.

    Fact 6:
    Ever realised that most terrorists in the world are mostly Muslim, who like to use Allah as an excuse/explanation for everything?

    My conclusion is simple:
    Just kill everyone in Gaza Strip, and leave the place to rot.
    Flatten the Strip, and seal it off.

    Counterfact:

    More than a million people live in Gaza, but only a few thousand rockets, bombs and mortar bombs were used by Palestinians from Gaza.

    Collective guilt does not exist.

    You don't want to see Washington DC nuked just because of a couple criminals and war criminals are there, right?


  249. pluto Says:

    Sven, I would like to correct you.

    If there are lots of extremists and terrorists making rockets in Washington DC, I am sure Americans or any sane, logical human-being will quickly report this matter, distance themselves from these fanatics, where the authorities can easily apprehend these Allah-chanting Muslim psychos.

    However, in Gaza, the Hamas appears to have the fully support from the Gaza civilians. The Hamas people are living and hiding amongst the civilians.

    The civilians have never showed signs of hating the Hamas or wanting to isolate themselves from Hamas.

    If Muslims have any brains (I think they don't), all the so-called "civilians" should gather and march to a safer, single location and tell Hamas members
    "PLS DON'T COME NEAR US. wE DON'T WANT TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU, HAMAS!!!!!". All "innocent" women shd come out and wave white sheets and march to a single unified location where they won't be bombed like flies.

    Sadly, because all Muslims are basically alike and support each other very closely, the above did not happen.
    That's why Hamas and the "civilians' are becoming butchered by the bombings, because they fuindamentally believe in terrorism, and in supporting terrorism. Gaza civilians and Hamas are actually the same thing.

    Israel shd use FAEs (especially the MOAB) in huge numbers to just flatten this extremist, troublesome, unproduction place called Gaza. Kill everyone there.
    The children will become extremists one day anyway!


  250. pluto Says:

    Hamas always lament and complain about the Israeli blckade.
    The blockade appears to piss Hamas off.
    If Washington was blockaded, I would be darn pissed too!!

    But I will ask: Why was the blockade implemented?

    Israel intimately knows the fanatical, extremist, tightly united nature of the Palestinians and any Muslims.
    The blockade serves to "control" these wild animals within a barrier so that they could not do much harm.
    It's a control measure.

    Sadly even with the blockade, these Palestinians fanatics still manage to dig hundreds of tunnels and ultimately, even fabricate their own rockets!!!
    See how united they are, and how fanatical they are?

    Even sadder, when a women knows her husband or neighbour makes rockets and lunaches them at a neighbouring region, these 'civilians" still remain passive.

    That's why, I maintain that Israel shd not differentiate between Hamas and civilians. They are the same, and one.
    Kill them all in Gaza and close this issue.
