Israel: Report of Gaza mortar fire incorrect

All  too  often  we  find  that  the  innocent  shed   the   most   or   are  the  most   afraid     in  war  times.  

HAMAS wants to restore order? They caused the disorder / destruction. F@ck those guys. l

What can be worse than a supposed reverent man saying his prayers to God standing beside a bunch of rockets that will be shot at Israel???  -ZOOCREW

Wow!  No!

You mean no American chaplain or soldier has every prayed for God to be with him and the troops under his command?  No American chaplain or soldier has ever prayed that no ciivilian or children are killed, or that his aim will be sure?  No American military leader has ever done that?

Exterminate Hamas yes.  But, have mercy on the Palestinian people.  I'd pray.

What can be worse than a supposed reverent man saying his prayers to God standing beside a bunch of rockets...

I quite agree.  What could be worse? Incidentally, if you're referring to that first picture included above, that IDF soldier isn't standing next to a bunch of rockets but rather artillery shells.

Plus the chosen people seem to have been somewhat less than invincible (militarily speaking) from time to time.

And as for wiping out Gaza, if a single rocket is fired, there's no one here who can open the eyes of your countrymen better than you can. Personally I'm wondering if it's time for a change, if not by the incoming administration then perhaps by the next.

Are you talking about the "religious" man wearing the yarmulke????

My apologies to all.  I was taking the person praying by the ARTILLERY shells to be on the side of the Hamas.  I didn't read the caption underneath.  My humble apologies.

And yes, there are plenty of people whom pray to God during times of war.  BUT my point was, they have a truce in firing upon each other and all the HAMAS bozos can think of is re-arming themselves, making their rockets better for killing more Israelites.  AND not only that, but bragging about it to the media!!!  What the hell is wrong with them??  They are deluded to be sure.

And in another article, Hamas was having parades celebrating a victory.  What victory???  The fact that they are still alive??  One shop owner said, "We shouldn't be celebrating, we have a huge casualty rate and billions in damages"  The Palestinians should be working on getting rid of the HAMAS terrorists and working on getting a govt that will help them grow and protect them.  Until they get rid of HAMAS, they will not be able to live in peace.

HAMAS IS A TERRORISTIC GROUP THAT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL EVERY LAST ISRAELITE IS DEAD or EVERY LAST HAMAS TERRORIST or SYMPATHIZER IS DEAD.  What a shame!!

Yes, Hamas is a terrorist organization, however Israel created....

When the world stops apologising for terrorists we may finally start stamping out the scourge of terrorism.  There is no justification for terrorism, period.

"Oh, what else could these poor people do, so badly outgunned?  Can we blame them for murdering civilians and provoking wars that lead to civilian casualties and the trashing of their homes?  How else can they fight for their freedom?  And remember it's all in the name of God ..."

The people of Gaza turn to Hamas because Israel drove them to it. Only Hamas has stepped forward to help them fight the Israeli oppression.

Actually, Hamas took advantage of popular disillusion with Fatah at the time.  This is clear from the historical record.

Some at least must now be wishing they'd stayed well away from Hamas.  Poor sods.

"The picture truely shows how God fearing soldiers they are............so moving." -A Khafaji

Yes.  Because in Islam, Muslim soldiers don't pray to Allah, do they?   Just the terrorists?

Christianity, Judaism and Islam share the same war god.  It's caused most of the problems on this planet and I think people who do not belong to these 3 religions are going to get awfully fed up with it, and soon.

How? Not academic, pragmatic.

Even women have testosterone flowing in their blood!!

And besides that, some of the earlier societies were controlled by women.  Didn't turn out so well.

Hatred supersedes all emotion and motivation.

CNN Confirms Israel Broke Ceasefire First

And this is the new Israeli ceasefire which is ''unilateral'' even if the lie was true and Hamas fired rockets

 the IOF has breached the unilaterally declared ceasefire. Shooting and shelling from artillery batteries, tanks and naval vessels have occurred in various areas throughout the day. Israeli aircraft also launched raids on open areas. At 10:30am, Israeli troops opened fire at civilians who were trying to reach their homes in Khuzaa village, east of Khan Younis. A man, 22-year-old Mahir Abu Irjila, was killed as a result. The victim and his family had evacuated their house and stayed in a UN shelter.

Yeah, well tell that to some of the other bloggers around here, Fada.  They believe that the "highly sophisticated" military of the IDF can do no wrong.  I do not blame the IDF soldiers.  They are following orders.  But who is giving them these orders?   The commanders have to be held responsible for these egregious mistakes.     

VMS,   What surprises me is fragile propaganda Israel is using , they can do better than that , not accusing Hamas with launching rockets while Hamas is not obligated by the unilateral ceasefire....here is another source:   Israeli gunboats are reportedly still firing rounds toward the Gaza

In fact I blame the soldiers more than their The commanders ,  soldiers sometimes go beyond orders and shoot deliberately on children and women in even times of peace:  Second pregnant woman shot by Israeli checkpoint troops

You're right, Fada.  It is the worst P.R. I think I've seen -- except for "Mission Accomplished."  I have fading sympathy for the Israelis.  You know, I have heard others say that the Palestinian people deserve this treatment because they elected "terrorists."  And they should "stand up" against them; therefore, they wouldn't be bombed.

Well, Israel citizens, the same can be said for your country.  You elected these leaders, and hey have gone overboard.  Get rid of them, and the bombing will stop when you get serious about a "ceasefire."

the Palestinian people deserve this treatment because they elected "terrorists 

VMS: This kind of cruel and cheap propaganda is posed on internet to solicit the western ''especialy US,s'' mainstream because ''Terror is the key word''in America  to legitimize inappropriate action against civilians  Pro-Israelis focus at ''capture US,s mainstream''...who donnates to Israel and votes for the president whowill  keep supplying Israel with money and lethal weapons

Palestinians didn,t mean to elect terrorists...and ''though I don,t like Hamas because they endanger their people but ''the right of resistence''  is legal in occupied places....not by firing rockets on civilians. of course ......but by secret operations  against military.

Palestinians meant to elect those who promised to protect them ,  not those who will destroy Israel as the propagandists like to focus at''
