Re: Death of Innocence.
Did you listen to the news this evening,
The war is to continue and it is intentions in certain quarters occupy Gaza and build settlements. A land grab it was always the intention.
Right done with this now.

Re: Death of Innocence.
They looked in good shape after being in captivity for over nine months, It appears that the captives that have died have all been killed by Israeli Bombs, except for the three killed directly by their troops under a white flag, but that is war I suppose.

Re: Death of Innocence.
The question is this, are the 'civilians' amongst the Palestine people all terrorists as Nota yahoo claims, or are they just victims of their voting system.
But if the figures given are true then what can only be called the slaughter of women and children as abhorrent.
Yes civilians are often the innocent victims in nay conflict, just look at UK in WW2, but we are told the world has moved on since then!!!
Yes, but only in some parts of the world.

Re: Death of Innocence.
It's not many years ago, I remember seeing on the news, a report of a young Palestinian boy being held at gunpoint at a crossing place into Israel. He had a bomb strapped to his body and was crying, he had been sent by the terrorists to blow himself up among Israeli people. It took the Israelis quite some time to disarm the bomb and saved the child's life.
Now a kid of about 10 years old, is not going to decide to commit such an act, so he must have been forced into it.
This is what the likes of Hamas is about, it's them causing all the deaths, nobody else. The same people are bombing innocent civilians around the world, simply because it suits their cowardly, cultural nature.

Re: Death of Innocence.
I like the reports on the telly that say "The Hamas (whatever department) has issued a statement confirming that IDF have killed so many people, including a number of hostages". How does anyone believe the likes of them?

Is the Gaza ministry of health reliable?
Its numbers have historically been considered reliable by the United Nations, the World Health Organization, Human Rights Watch. In relation to the Israel-Hamas war, two scientific studies published in The Lancet journal did not find evidence of inflation or fabrication.

Re: Death of Innocence.
To me No. Any info. Coming from Hamas sources will always play for sympathy for their own side. Like all cowards and terrorists they are like cornered rats when not in control. If the shoe was on the other foot the Jews would be suffering a similar fate as they did under the Hitler Regime by now. JS

Re: Death of Innocence.
Very true John, but an Australian doctor who has worked there for a couple of years now says that the number of women and children killed is true.
He cannot work well in any hospital there as conditions are so bad.
There are he claims a number of docs from other countries working pro bono there in may way they can to help.
But the terrorist element will never die, just move to another place and morph into some other horror organisation.
These people no morals, only an often falsely driven religious outlook which controls them competley.

Re: Death of Innocence.
There are no civilians as such . Would you like them living as your neighbours ? When a country goes to war it goes to war as it always has . For those who want to stand behind those they use as proxies just shows the manner of people they have as neighbours . They are all camp followers as of old. Never forget who were the initial prosecutors of this present situation and are still wanting to carry on in the same manner. Everyone to their own thoughts on the subject , I believe world wide it will get a lot worse before it gets better , if it ever does. JS
