Horrible footage tonight on ch4 of an unarmed young palestinian civilian searching for his dead family among the ruins. Suddenly an israeli sniper shoots him and he falls among the bricks. Hes moving, and then another shot rings out and hes hit again. But hes still alive! Then 10 seconds later hes shot again, finished off.

Its like when that blacķ soldier is picked off by a sniper in Full Metal Jacket - except this is no movie, just sheer cowardly slow execution.

His body has been there for two days, all rescue workers and paramedics are shot at.

The bigger picture doesnt get mentioned by the corporate media either. The fact that so much of 'israeli land' is an illegal occupation according to the UN, and that before the current slaughter, a palestinian child is killed every three days on average.

All you can surmise from this is that israel, and the western govt parties that israeli billionaires donate to, value palestinian lives as worthless.

[Mohammed Seif 1,451]

So, Israel has already been funded in this war and given over a half a billion dollars from the U.S. Israel is asking for 225 million dollars more, for enhancing the Iron Dome. As if the rockets of Hamas are actually overcoming the iron dome now. LOL. I am really feeling bad for the American citizens. Their economy is in a bad shape and their infrastructure is at critical point, yet the politicians choose to screw them over for a war that is not theirs. I don't know how much their economy will be able to take if the "war seekers", the republicans, win the next elections.

I'll like to see some Muslims in the West march and protest against the atrocities being committed by ISIS to the Iraqi Christians. Where are the twitter "trends"? Where are the protests? :

For those of you who missed it, I posted this earlier. this is the Hamas charter that calls for the obliteration of Israel and the Jewish race by extension as well as other various negative Jew hate canards. Hamas keep telling everyone of their end goal but the world keeps burying their head in the sand.

http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp

I just don't understand how anyone can be a sympathizer for a terrorist group that uses it's people as human shields to further their nefarious motives. Hamas is basically the same as ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Qaeda and the other terror organisations out there.

The worst enemies of the Palestinians are not the Jews / "Zionists" but their Hamas "brothers"

I can't wait for Tony Abbott to send young and old Australians to die in Ukraine.

i doubt they actually care. just an excuse to be thugs

[CHOULO19 24,332]

There are still people and probably whole families under the rubble in some parts of Eastern Gaza. Israel prohibiting the red cross and red crescent from entering. Any medical staff or rescue workers trying to get into the area are being fired at. Any civilians still alive in the area trying to evacuate their houses are killed on sight.

On a different note, a UN worker has just been killed along with 4 women in an air strike. I wonder if the UN worker was being a human shield for Hamas...

I posted that video a couple of pages back. And this was actually during the 3 hour 'ceasefire'.

Shake my head at the ignorance. Unfortunately, there are a lot of idiots who can't differentiate between Zionism and Judaism.

That looks like the same one, but the news footage was from another camera. So cowardly.

[The only place to be 11,313]

This is one of the longest ongoing tragedies .. I have seen Germany Unified ,, Apartheid ended .. The Communist Empire broken down

Peace in Ireland yet this conflict continues . Sadly my country is at least partly responsible for a decision made almost 70 years ago

Those ones didn't involved certain religious elements. Unfortunately that is the real problem here.

51 civilians killed since this morning alone

[We Hate Scouse 10,327]

51 civilians killed since this morning alone

And it's pretty much unreported in the UK. Awful.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

And it's pretty much unreported in the UK. Awful.

Even more awful that a lot are just bleeding to death. No ambulance has been allowed in the heavily targeted Khaz'a area for two days now. Several ambulances destroyed, and today 12 paramedics were detained by the IOF for 3 hours. The civilians aren't able to evacuate either. Anyone trying to evacuate is being targeted.

And now, this:

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Now dozens killed and injured in an airstrike on an UNRWA school that is being used as shelter for hundreds of refugees who had fled the more heated areas of had their homes destroyed. Another massacre. Where do the war crimes end?!

Anyway, an attempt to re-humanize the kids that have turned into numbers and faceless statistics:

[Alee. 182]

Really shocked by the coverage some of the British and American news channels have been giving. It's pretty clear that Palestinian lives have little or no value in comparison to Israeli lives for most of these media outlets. Losing my faith in humanity every time someone tries to justifies the massacre Israel is causing.

I just wanted to translate this account by an eyewitness of the Khaz'a massacre on his twitter account: https://twitter.com/Ibn3arbi

.الكثير من شهداء خزاعة كانوا أصيبوا ونزفوا حتى الموت في انتظار اسعافهم. راقبت من شباك غرفتي ولساعات كل مراحل موت فتى في العشرين من عمره

طبيب واحد في البلدة، كمال أبو رجيلة، بذل جهد جبار مع الاصابات التي كانت تصل عيادته بإعجاز حتى بعد أن تم قصف عيادته وإصابته واستشهاد والده.

تم قصف البيت الذي كنت أحتمي فيه مع 50 رجل وطفل وامرأة. نجوت وعائلتي بمعجزة ولا أملك أدنى فكرة عما حل بالآحرين لكن حذائي ابتل تماما بدمائهم.

استطعنا استغلال دخان وغبار القصف للوصول إلى بيتنا. دقائق قليلة وتم استهداف البيت بثلاث قذائف أشعلت فيه الحريق وتسببت باصابتي اصابة طفيفة.

خرجنا للشارع بدون وعي وكان مشهد الدمار مرعب والقصف في كل مكام. حاولنا المشي باتجاه مخرج البلدة لكن الطيران المروحي فتح نيران رشاشاته علينا.

أمام عيني سقط طفل صغير كانت تحمله أمه بيد وباليد الثانية ترفع راية بيضاء. ابنها مات. استخدمت الراية ككفن وأكملت طريقها مع باقي أطفالها. رعب.

في الطريق الذي سلكناه وجدت جثة عمي وابنه ملقاة في الشارع بجانب بيتهم. كان القناصة يستهدفون الناس في أقدامهم في محاولة لمنعهم عن الهروب.

ابن عمّتي استشهد أثناء محاولته إنقاذه أخيه المصاب والملقى في الشارع. الاثنين استشهدوا فوق بعضهم.

الوضع كان مرعب ومأساوي وأي محاولة لوضعه بكلمات ستكون مبتذلة ولن تعطي المجزرة حقها. أنا وأهلي خرجنا أحياء لكنني لا أملك أدنى تفسير كيف وليش.

القصف المدفعي كان يتم بشكل عشوائي ولا أي شيء في العالم يمكنه أن يقنعني بعكس ذلك.

ولسّا في جثث في الشوارع. ولسّا في مصابين بيستنوا يصيروا جثث. ولسّا في ناس عالقة مش قادرة تطلع.

"A lot of the Khaz'a martyrs were injured and bled to death. I watched from the window in my room all the stages of the slow death of young man in his 20s.

The only doctor in the town, Kamal Abu Rjaili, did an immense job for all the injuries that arrived at his clinic even after the clinic was bombed and his father had died.

The house I was sheltering in with 50 other men, women and children was shelled. I escaped with my family by a miracle. I don't know what happened to the others, buy my shoe was wet with their blood.

We took advantage of the smoke to escape to our house. Minutes later the house was hit by 3 shells. I was very lightly injured.

Without thinking about it, we ran to the streets. The scene was that of complete destruction and bombing everywhere. We tried heading for the town exit but the helicopters fired at us from their machine guns.

In front of us, a child was shot while his mother was carrying him in one arm and a white flag in the other. She dropped him to the floor, dead. She used the flag to wrap up his little body and continued to run with her other children. Horror.

In the road we took, I found the corpses of my uncle and his son on the street. The snipers were targeting people to prevent them from escaping.

My cousin died trying to save his injured brother who was laying on the street. They died one on top of the other.

The situation was horrible and tragic and no vocabulary in the world can even begin to describe this massacre. My family and I made it out safely but I still don't understand how and why.

The bombing was completely random. Nothing in the world can convince me otherwise.

And still, there are corpse on the streets, injured people waiting to be corpses and people stuck in the area unable to leave."

I know I can't even begin to understand what this man and the others in the neighborhood have gone through, but I still cried reading this.

I'm not going to justify it, but it's predominantly because of the way we view certain religions in the Western world. Unfortunately certain religions have a real PR problem.
