Israel Shoots Missiles At School, kills 8, wounds 40
The Brave little Israel shoots American-made & funded missiles at school, kills 8,
including a 4 year old and a 12 year plus 2 women. Let’s see, last week Israel
machine-gunned a hospital, forgot how many got killed, and then there were all
those rock-throwing kids killed by tank fire and snipers, and now Israel shoots
missiles at a school, sounds like it’s time our Israeli lobby-controlled congress to
pass another resolution Palestinians for the violence.

Eight Palestinians were killed and some 40 were wounded when the IDF opened
fire
Thursday on Palestinians who were firing at an IDF crew near the Gaza Strip
town of
Rafah, near the Termit outpost, Thursday afternoon.
Palestinians said among those killed in the clashes were two children: a
4-year-old boy and
a 12-year-old girl. Another two of the victims, they said, were women. The IDF
sustained
no casualties in the incident, military sources said.
Palestinian sources told Israel Radio the clashes began when the IDF began
construction
work for a new checkpoint in the area. IDF Spokeswoman did not confirm or
deny this,
but said the Palestinians fired an anti-tank missile at "construction equipment"
on the site.
According to Palestinian sources quoted by Israeli news agency Itim, the victims
were
killed when an IDF tank fired at houses south of Rafah. The tank also fired at a
local
UNRWA-run school, wounding more than 15 schoolchildren, some of them very
severely.

It should be obvious to all that the IDF sodiers are having a lot of trouble with their eyesights.
Targeting of schools and hospitals, Sharon loves it all. Bit by bit the Israeli-U.S. economy and military are taking over all of Palestine. This is one the worse rape and mass imprisonment of a people in all history.
Has anyone looked at a map of Israel lately and seen how is has grown since inception? No wonder Sharon warmongers do not want to talk peace. Israeli Jews may be winning a war of tanks and F16s against stick and stones, but they are losing all their humanity while earning the contempt of the entire world.

Okay, yeah. Israel is so fucking wrong for this.
But you know, the next suicide bomber who takes out children and women and civilians will also be
wrong.
Both sides here suck the big ones. There's no right -- just a lot of assholes in one small place.

Yes it is a good idea to look at the map. You will see that Israel is no bigger than NJ, that in 1982 israel gave up all of the Sinai peninsula in exchange for peace with Egypt so actually it is shrinking not growing.
The loss of civilian life is terrible and no doubt the IDF finger is very easy on deciding to shot - this is wrong, very wrong , criminally wrong.
But there is the other side no one mention: Palestinian armed groups who use homes in Raffah as bases to fire on soldiers, as entry points to tunnel leading under the border to Egypt to smuggle explosives to be used against Israeli civilians. This is why the troops are there - to prevent it and the palestinian are using the civilians as human sheild - firing on the soldiers and hiding behind "rock thrwoing kids"

That is Palestinian land and if they want to fight an invading (or occupying) foreign army that is their right.
If anyone on here is serious about ending Palestinian violence towards Israelis (or the much more serious Israeli military assaults on Palestinians), this can be done with the very simple step of allowing UN peacekeeping troops in as the Palestinians have requested. But no pro-Israeli accepts this because their beloved Israeli government rejected it because this would get in the way of conquest.
