    hamas should be glad Israel didn't kick their ass like they should have. For once, props to the Netanyahi gov for stopping this.

    I didn't see them, goofus. So are you guys having a Disgusting Image Media War I wasn't aware of? Then you both have poor taste. Having said that, thanks for wrapping a spoiler tag around them.

    When Hamas supporters blow up a bus, who are they targeting?



    ...I'm just glad there's a ceasefire now to stop the senseless killing on both sides, but how long before another rocket is fired from Gaza into Israel though?

    Funny how you never fail stick your pathetic internet tough guy ass into a discussion and show your prejudice every opportunity you have. People like you are the real problem. You fear and hate anyone different from you. Maybe intolerant bigots are what need to be erased from the earth.

    More Palestinian propaganda uncovered by the UN.

    UN clears Israel of charge it killed baby in Gaza
    Jerusalem had been blamed for death of BBC correspondent’s son during mini-war, but otherwise critical report finds shrapnel from Hamas misfire responsible


    A United Nations report cleared Israel in the death of the infant son of a BBC employee during Operation Pillar of Defense in November, instead fingering a misfired Palestinian rocket for the tragedy.

    The November 14 strike left 11-month-old Omar Jihad al-Mishrawi and Hiba Aadel Fadel al-Mishrawi, 19, dead. The death of Omar, the son of BBC Arabic journalist Jihad al-Mishrawi, garnered more than usual media attention and focused anger for the death on Israel, which was initially blamed for the death.

    Rather, the report suggests, a 19-year-old woman and a baby were hit by shrapnel from a rocket fired by Palestinians that was aimed at Israel, but missed its mark.

    The report, released by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on Wednesday, criticizes both Israel and the Palestinians for failure to abide by international law during the conflict.

    Images of the bereaved father tearfully holding the corpse of his 11-month-old baby went around the world during Operation Pillar of Defense, the eight-day military campaign during which the Israeli Air Force carried out 1,500 airstrikes on Gaza and Palestinian terrorists fired about 1,500 rockets at Israel’s south.

    Several press reports attributed the deaths to Israeli shrapnel that entered their home in the Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City. In the wake of this incident and others during which Palestinian civilians were hurt, several human rights groups accused Israel of conducting its airstrikes without sufficient regard for civilians living in Gaza.

    “BBC journalists tweeted that those killed in an Israeli airstrike included the sister-in-law and 11-month-old son of a BBC Arabic Service journalist, and that the journalist’s brother was seriously wounded,” Human Rights Watch stated in a November 15 press release. The human rights watchdog reports that Israel was responsible for the deaths based on “news reports and witnesses.”

    On the same day, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights stated that “an Israeli warplane fired a missile at a house belonging to Ali Nemer al-Mishrawi in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the east of Gaza City. Two members of the family (a woman and a toddler) were killed: Hiba Aadel Fadel al-Mishrawi, 19; and Omar Jihad al-Mishrawi, 11 months.”

    The baby’s father himself, Jihad al-Mishrawi, a photo editor, told BBC Arabic that his son and sister-in-law were killed by shrapnel that hit their home. “What did my son do to die like this? What was his mistake?” he said during an interview, holding his dead child.

    But the UN report suggests the two members of the Mishrawi family were killed by a rocket fired by Palestinians and not by an Israeli airstrike.

    “On 14 November, a woman, her 11-month-old infant, and an 18-year-old adult in al-Zaytoun were killed by what appeared to be a Palestinian rocket that fell short of Israel,” the report states. A footnote explains that this case was “monitored” by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay.

    NGO-Monitor, a watchdog group critical of anti-Israel bias among nonprofits involved in the Middle East conflict, issued a harsh statement slamming human rights groups and the media for having “fabricated” their versions of the event.

    “These NGO allegations were particularly damaging due to powerful, widely circulated images of the grieving father of the child, who is a journalist. The NGO and corresponding media accounts worked together to demonize Israel for the death of an innocent child,” the organization said in a statement.

    “Rather than applying consistent and professional standards to fact-finding, the claims of HRW and PCHR are often the products of instant speculation and the a-priori presumption of Israeli guilt. Later, when detailed evidence emerges that contradicts their allegations, these NGOs fail to publish apologies and retractions.”

    So you are implying Israeli attacks haven't killed any Palestinian children?

    Meh, both the Israelis and the Palestinians want the land all for themselves. The Israelis are trying to win using bureaucracy, and the Palestinians using violence.

    He didn't imply anything actually. He posted an article that says a specific claim made against Israel was false.

    Strangely, this part of the findings was missing from the Israeli Times.

    http://news.yahoo.com/un-palestinian-militants-likely-killed-gaza-baby-143224704.html

    In the same report, the authors also criticized Israel for appearing to disregard civilians while pursuing militants and military targets, and for targeting civilian sites, like hospitals, bridges and media offices.

    Among many cases, they noted an 84-year-old man and his 14-year-old granddaughter were killed by an Israeli military strike on Nov. 21 while they were in their olive orchard on Gaza's eastern border. They also cited an Israeli airstrike on a crowded Gaza City neighborhood that killed 12 people, including five children and four women.

    Yes, it's sad when some people try and pretend that there is a side in this without blood on their hands. Horrible stuff done by both sides in the conflict.

    Also horrible that Israel occupies so much territory and enacts an Apartheid system of govt.
