I see Morning Snore is having a discussion about the conflict in Gaza
and to prove Rula Jebreal and the point she was making not a Hamas let alone a Palestinian voice at the table to IMHO give a balanced assessment to whats going on there .

“Israeli tanks and warplanes bombarded the Gaza Strip…” is the furthest you need to read. Tanks, warplanes, guided missiles, body armor, bulldozers, high explosives, satellite technology – all needed I suppose to further subdue a people that don’t even have normalized access to drinking water, sanitary plumbing, or electricity. If Israel were to go back in time 2400 years and fight the Egyptians at the height of their power with all this technology it would still be so unbalanced and unequal so as to be nothing more than rank genocide and bloodlust. So what do we call THIS?

A child an hour is killed in Gaza by the IDF:

¨…(S)ome 75% of Palestinians killed in this round of fighting have been children, women and non-combatant men. About 147 children have been killed by Israel; only a couple dozen Hamas fighters have been.¨

Serious question: who are the “Palestinian health officials” that are reporting these deaths and are the numbers corroborated?

I think they have a track record of reporting the names and ages of the deaths accurately. I haven’t heard anyone dispute the figures.

At this rate, Israel will never reach a 100:1 kill ratio before this latest campaign ends.

Justifiable defense?

1 child murdered every hour on the American tax payer’s dime. Shame on us.

Avigdor Lieberman will be most displeased.

Israel’s antics are losing them the long-war. They just don’t realize it yet. Very shortsighted.
