When you pay close attention to EVERY statement came from Israel, you can see ALL of them are against Hamas, not the Palestinians
There is little argument, Israel is far better at PR than the Palestinians but perhaps you can answer a couple of questions.
Why did Israel attack this UN shelter, even when you were aware there were no weapons there, only sleeping children?
BBC News - Gaza conflict: UN accuses Israel over Jabaliya attack
UN spokesman Chris Gunness said "the world stands disgraced" by the attack, in which 15 died and dozens were hurt.
The Israeli military said an initial inquiry suggested soldiers responded to mortar fire. The military says it is now holding a partial, four-hour humanitarian ceasefire.
Some 1,200 Palestinians and 55 Israelis have been killed in the conflict.
Most of the Palestinian deaths have been civilians.
It's all well and good claiming to be directing operations only against Hamas, but killing 1,200 non combatant civilians to get a very few more extreme people.
I have to agree, Hamas are a bunch of idiots and, I'll be honest, I have no problem with them getting shot, but not for the reasons you would shoot them.
Their missiles damage a few fences and a turnip or two, but they give Israel an excuse for mass murder.
That, in my humble opinion, makes them traitors to the people of Gaza, and pretty much as bad as the bastards in the IDF that actually carry out the murders.
First lets be true about the statistics, 1200 Palestinians including terrorists, not only civilians, according to BBC the majority are civilians and it can also be 601 civilians and that is what I hope for, I'm also not mentioning a few questions about the Health Department in Gaza where multiple names found-
I'm also not familiar with this case, I just heard about it now - with this being said..
Here again we come to a debate over innocents casualties, don't be mistaken, attacking the UN Shelter is not something Israel would hesitate to do, as proven before terrorists are using these places no doubt about it, but the media only come to conclusions based on what they're seeing now - the destruction after the IDF assault - and so does the rest of the world, and just to make it clear I'm against hurting civilians, but I'm not jumping to conclusions myself, I know dozen of soldiers and I also know the Israeli mentality and the IDF mentality,
carrying a mass murder on innocent is not part of that mentality, as IDF vet myself I guarantee that.
Since the UNRWA investigate the last assault where each side blames the other, ( [MENTION=48922]I.P.Freely[/MENTION] have you found anything new?) I can tell you that its too early to go to conclusions, and I also would like to wait for another investigation on this case after going on all the details, not just the BBC assumption.
About the PR to my opinion, it doesn't change the facts, you can search how many times Israel called the Gazans to leave north Gaza, to stay away from the fighting zone, yet Jabalia is deep in the center of north Gaza, there gotta be an explanation why they're staying in there, I bet there is, but don't forget this is a fighting zone where terrorists and IDF fighting, the chance terrorists will be around is fairly high.
Israel is dealing with a cruel enemy, not the Palestinians, the Hamas, I'll say it a million times and repeat it again as much as needed.
After revealing 'our' intentions, I also would like to apologize if any civilian died by mistake, we are not angels and not perfect, and mistakes always happen don't reject that option, it saddens me to think somebody innocent have to pay the price, and I'm comparing this to car accident for example, how could you live with yourself knowing that you ran over a kid crossing the road?- trust me, nobody here want such fate.
Out of 3,000 airstrikes in the past month, do you really think Israel intent to 'murder' or 'deliberately target civilians'? 3,000 airstrikes - mistakes could have happened at least 50 times, and this is the smallest number I could suggest, not to mention at least HALF could have been 1 fatality which means it suppose to be 1500 at the lowest point of "mass murdering"
Israel is not carrying a mass-murder, far from that, a successful operation is when goal is reached, and nobody got injured..this is the IDF.
