It is cowardly that the Hamas militants are surrounding themselves with civilians, especially those innocent young children.
However, the way the US media is playing this story is leaning against Israel.

I think Israel should allow journalists and camera crew into Gaza so the public can verify these accusations. I want to see these militants firing from schools - using human shield. I just want some proof.

The only pictures we're getting from the media are of injured Palestinian children and women and that certainly weighs heavily on one's heart. Btw, how are we getting those pictures? Is that Hamas-run media??

Just from watching the news it's getting harder to believe Israel's rationale for hitting these "civilian" sites as the death toll continues to rise.

I'm trying to represent a someone who's not a Jew or an Arab and not as knowledgeable or as involved in this conflict as some of you guys seem to be.

They should bomb every school, hospital & mosque since that's Hamas Barracks and ammo depots.

Because honestly that is the only thing that will stop this. There has been fighting there since the dawn of time and it will go on until the end of time unless one side annihilates the other.

Stuff like this will only speed up the fuck it decision by one side.

I'm sorry, but Israel is trying to avoid civilian causalities. And by the time the palis have enough power over Israel and invade, the entire ME will be a smoldering pile of ash.

Yup, take the 3000 injured and just move them over to the "dead" list :roll:

No. Gazans who work for BBC, Al Jazeera, etc. Nic Robertson is on the border. Gazans who work for AP, Reuters, etc.

Didn't someone once say that the first casualty in war is the truth?

Here's my opinion: If Hamas was shooting at the IDF from a school, then the IDF is perfectly within their rights to shoot back.

Is this all you got? :laugh: Come on, over the course of the last few days, you showed how pathetic you are. Apparently siding with an Islamo-Fascist organization that does a coup by throwing people off buildings and send their kids to suicide (hopefully taking the lives of Israeli kids in the process) is just your thing. Miserable soul.

That's why Israel gets the benefit of the doubt when Hamas does not, and explains why it's a troll thread. This thread contains baseless accusations and a highly distorted thread title containing unfounded accusations.

This entire propaganda thing, Israel this, Hamas that, its all smoke and mirrors. Actions speak louder than words. It doesn't matter who blows up civilians intentionally, the result is that both sides are have civilian losses, and palestians seem to always get the ass whooping. Right or wrong... Palestians always seem to be on the losing side, and to me that seems like they are being oppressed. It reminds me of the USA in the 1950's with racial tensions. Blacks being oppressed by whites, and having them fight and protest. Thank goodness blacks didn't fire rockets into white neighbhorhoods because that would have been a huge issue, and if they did, they probably would have got their ass kicked like palestians are now. But in the black perspective, it would have been the right thing to do, much like it would have been the whites perspective that kickering their ass would have been the right thing to do. But when you clear all the bullshit, what do you have?

And as JS80 points out, militants barricaded the school and fired on IDF... What do you expect them to do? Their people were in the school and military fighters (terrorists/militants whatever label you want to put on them) were defending the position against IDF who have been bombing them and fighting them and who rolled up in their tanks. But of course who did that news bit come from? Was that a news article from Israeli sources? JS80 quote said it was. What would you expect them to say? As the saying goes "History is written by the winners."

The oppressors can say whatever they want, but it doesn't make it right...
Being on the losing side = being oppressed? Where does that calculation come from? How about being on the losing side and knowing they don't have a chance against the Israeli military, they NOT fire rockets into Israel in the first place and provoke them? Well, too late. They did provoke Israel and are getting the ass-whooping they've been begging for.

What do I expect the Pals to do when pinned up against a school loaded with civilians? I expect tehm to lay down their arms and surrender. They don't though. They never do. They'd rather bait Israel into firing near civilian and then stir up a massive propaganda storm about it, wringing their collective hands. The facts that are clear though is that Hamas doesn't give two shits about their own people and if they can use them as dead pawns to maintain power, they will without giving it a second thought.

Hypocrisy is: Hamas launches attacks from civilian areas and uses children as human shields, and then uses the deaths of Palestinian children to justify murdering Jewish children anywhere in the world. And you have a problem with Israel doing the same? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/t...ast/article5454204.ece

Israel Broke the Truce
From your own link

The truce has largely held so far, despite some sporadic rocket and mortar fire by Gaza renegades
How can you call it a cease fire when one side continues to shot at the other?
