Christopher Gunness from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency: ”Children were killed as they slept next to their parents”. Tank fire has killed at least 15 Palestinians sheltering at a UN-run school in a Gaza refugee camp, the UN has said. Israel, which has accused the militant group Hamas of using schools as bases to launch rockets, said it was investigating the reports. Christopher Gunness from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency said the location of the school had been passed to the Israeli forces 17 times to ensure its protection. He said the artillery attack on the school was ”an affront to all of us… a source of universal shame”.

    See how that guy avoided when he was asked if Israel gave them warnings before they hit the school that by the way was shooting rockets into Israeli cities and had stored 3000 rockets in there.. so there were roughly 3000 people sheltering in this school and also 3000 rockets. Israel have every right to defend itself.
    Hamas was shooting rockets on Israelis from that very UN school. After Israel warned them several times that they are going to bomb, they chose to stay to protect their missiles. Thats the real war crime using people as human shields.

    17 warnings by the UN and they still bombed it. There is no excuse for that.

    Where does that idiot think the rockets shot from Gaza end up? How many Israeli children have been killed while they slept because of the Islamic murderers over the years?

    If the "peace loving" Islamic world would stand up against the murderers and take their rockets and lock them up this would end but they let it happen day after day.

    This might sound a bit scarey. But if this situation keeps going on long enough, who knows if Israel might decide to take more severe measures to deal with this crisis.
    There has been mention of an Israeli ground offensive.
    What if IDF issues orders for Israeli troops to go into Gaza, and shoot to kill anything that moves, and that is not wearing an IDF uniform. That would include shooting men, women, pregnant women, the elderly, clergymen, doctors, mothers, fathers, children, babies, toddlers, handicap people, retarded children, burnt and cripple children, those born with clef lip, teenagers, dogs, sheep, cattle, horses, donkeys, birds, frogs, all other wildlife, flying insects, cars, trucks, trains, construction equipment, ambulances, motorcycles, bicycles, animal drawn wagons…If it moves, and it does not wear an IDF uniform, shoot it on sight…And to level all buildings, hospitals (even if it's a Shriner's Childern's Hospital), oil rigs and everything else that is man made, along with destroying all trees.
    If Israel is pushed enough, who can guarantee that will not happen?

    You can see how far it has already gone…Just watch the videos. One group of people will have to give in and surrender, and it for sure will NOT be Israel.

    The fact that the BBC is run by Zionists from the very top is so obvious by their reports. The bias to Israel is sickening. No wonder their offices were the point of demonstrations. How can any dispute be resolved when the public are denied the real truth. So what if the Israeli's didn't do one airstrike. What about the 1000's of others causing 1500 women and children to die. 31 Israelis have died from Hamas rockets in 13 years. Since when did the death of 31 in 13 years justify the killing of many 1000's. If the roles were reversed the USA, Britain, France would be invading Gaza and fighting Hamas within hours.  This Zionist loving BBC just put another nail in its own coffin …

    Israel makes up less than 1% in terms of population and land mass in the Middle East.

    99% of people killed in the Middle East are done by Arabs, yet Israel gets 99% of the blame!! 99% of the media coverage on Arab deaths are in Gaza, what happen to the other 99% where the justice in all that. Because there is an agenda and the media is taking the bait and Israel the only democracy in the Middle East carrying the blame.

    The numbers don't stack up, the media is bias and too emotional to present the facts, journalist covering the Gaza conflict should all be sacked for not presenting the truth getting emotional and distracted.

    I wish the media provided the same coverage on civilian deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Sudan, Somalia and of course Syria.

    Hamas does not have a humanitarian problem, they have a wisdom problem firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel and reaping pin point air strikes in return in heavily populated areas, Hamas is 100% evil and guilty at the expense of the innocent people of Gaza.

    If you are hungry for the truth, study history and reality.

    Has anyone ever questioned why Hamas , who built all the tunnels, didn't build some bomb shelters for the women and children of Palestine ? It's because Hamas planned to use the Palestinian civilians for propaganda in the media. They did nothing to protect their people. The Hamas are cold,bloodthirsty terrorists and need to be destroyed.

    And yet our "leaders" still back Israel and still continue to arm Israel.

    And guess who will suffer when the extremists come knocking again?

    Us. It is us that will suffer the effects of suicide bombers if they retaliate in our countries and then our government will back Israel even more and we will suffer more.

    All they have to do is condemn Israel. That's it. Represent us, the people many of whom are Jewish and don't support what the Israeli government is doing.

    Once the west condemns Israel, they have to stop. But Zionists run America who supply the military so they won't.

    The Israelis, like the U$A only invade when the odds are vastly in their favour. Murdering kids when asleep holds no risk.
    ps: The BBC is doing agreat job reporting on this invasion. When the same approach is taken with the Americans over Eastern Ukraine, my faith in the BBC will be restored.

    So let's see if I have a grip on this…
    A group of people come to stay on my farm. They are brought here by some guys from a farm a few miles away. The guys from the other farm TELL me that the group are being given 55% of my farm by them. Seeing that the guys from the other farm are  much bigger than me and feeling quite threatened, I stand by and let the group of people in… After all, they're tired looking and have been through hell.
    The group of people become quite obnoxious very quickly and start taking more and more of my land until eventually they reach my farm house and pull it down.  Telling me that I have no place on THEIR farm, I gather my family and move to the safety of my friend's farm down the road. However, not long after settling in, my friend comes to me in a panic and points to the group who have now taken over his cattle field. After a short while we are all moving on again as the group start to pull down his farm too.
    With nowhere left to go and rage burning in our minds we gather the rubble of our farms and try to repel the group by throwing it at them. As we are throwing the rubble a piece breaks a window in one of the groups new homes. The group are pissed off and throw a rocket with depleted uranium at us. It hits my friend's 4 year old son….

    YEP, fairly certain I understand why the people of Gaza are turning against the Israeli invaders. I'm also fairly certain that if Hitler had managed to breach Britains shores we'd be still fighting the Nazi's with bricks and improvised weapons today.

    This is nothing short of genocide and apartheid. Political Zionists want, political Zionists get, the UN turns a blind eye…

    They both are wrong…we shouldn't take sides. If Israel backs down Palestine will take vengeance…they are relentless unforgiving people. Only Jesus can save them both..period! We can't condemn Israel since BOTH sides practice the same carnage! Lets not let Palestine or Islam fool US or the UN…Islam is our enemy…& the worlds enemy..period! They some hateful people.

    Israel has sent out messages to the innocent people in gaza to get out… Israel is not the monster you make out… just look at it this way if the U.S was getting attacked do you think they would stand it or attack?

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
