1. hypocrisy
arik ,   usa   (08.03.14)
Irrespective of how much regard Israel may or may not have for Palestinian civilians, the true hypocrites are in Washington--providing Israel with weaponry and then expressing "outrage" and "shock" when they are used in precisely the way they have throughout this conflict. Come on America--find the betzim to either say we are behind Israel 100% and sanction 100% its actions or pull the plug on all this finally.
2. Are you kidding me
Firas ,   Dubai UAE   (08.03.14)
By mistake? Not recognized as a school? Google map can till it's a school let us stop these jokes and confess this is the war of hatred
3. Tomorrow the UN will condemn Hamas for hiding rockets
A ,   Belgium   (08.03.14)
in their schools...again.
4. One would expect
(08.03.14)
that since Israel has the enormous advantage of Iron Dome it will not respond to Palestinian rockets in a reflexive knee-jerk manner. But I guess jerks will be jerks.
5. #2 Big surprise, Firas
Benji ,   US   (08.04.14)
Hamas hides rockets in these schools, UN facilities, mosques, homes etc. They fire strategically from civilian areas hoping for return fire. Then cheerleaders for terror like yourself get all teary eyed over what you know was caused by Hamas. The UN should be ashamed for letting terrorists take over their facilities. I don't believe they didn't know. They condemn Israel hoping to dodge responsibility.

7. Now If The UN Hid the Schools from the Terrorists
Marcohoe ,   San Francisco USA   (08.03.14)
Maybe if the schools were hidden from the terrorists, they would have no special reason to shoot rockets or attack Israeli soldiers form the vicinity
8. Response to #2
Texana ,   Austin, Texas   (08.04.14)
EVERY single rocket sent into Israel is meant to kill any Israeli man, woman or child, but I am not hearing any world leaders or any of the US/EU media sources saying that. And, yes, by mistake or perhaps by a Hamas rocket. Do not rush to judgment. No army now or ever has tried harder to avoid harm to civilians than the IDF.
9. Iron Dome
Texana ,   Austin, Texas   (08.04.14)
Out of all the rocket shot at Israeli civilians today, the Iron Dome took out less than half, and even when the Dome takes them out, there is dangerous debris. I hear about the children being traumatized in Gaza, and the kids in ISrael are, too.
10. UN completely DISCREDITED
GZLives   (08.04.14)
11. Remind me: How many innocent ppl
Neomi   (08.04.14)
died in Iraq and Afghanistan because of the US? How many innocent ppl died in botched NATO strikes? We're talking thousands here !!! I don't remember the UN condemning that... Oh wait, and I haven't mentioned Nagasaki and Hiroshima , Vietnam (where the US was dropping napalm bombs like they were peanuts...HYPOCRISY !!!
12. Post Shoah Disguting Targetting
Zechariah   (08.04.14)
The Israel Airforce are either incompetent or War Criminal Pilots.Thank Gooness there is outrage.The Hamas PA and Isis however would be Exponentially Worse if they had the Power A PA Power Brocker Even Wished he had Nuclear Weapons to use on Jews.So it's Choosing the Worst of Two Evils .
13. Un in collusion with hamas
mark   (08.04.14)
UN has permitted hamas and others the use of playgrounds and areas outside all of its facilites from which to launch rockets and others against idf and israel. Serry, gunness and all the UN should be investigation of aiding and abetting terror. The blood of innocent gazans are on their heads.
14. if serious then talk to hamas otherwise shut up
ralph   (08.04.14)
15. UN facilities have become legit targets
Roxanne ,   Haifa   (08.04.14)
Someone should lodge a war-crimes complaint against the UN for aiding Hamas.
16. ...and no doubt the school was
DT ,   TA Israel   (08.04.14)
doing the usual, sheltering Hamas leaders, firing rockets, storing weapons, making bombs all in the name of educative potation and all from the schools
17.  US, UN condemn attack
mark ,   uk   (08.04.14)
What if Hamas did it Israel tell where they are going to bomb Hamas also knows where they wait with their mortar, journalists and cameras shoot at the same time and you have videos for world media for their propaganda it works not forgetting ambulances ready to pick up the injured
18. If UN had done its job + protected Pali people
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.04.14)
then there would have been a lot less casualties. But I have a feeling that UN is in cahoots with terrorists + planting civilians and children in targeted areas, just for this PR attack.
19. The Pot calling the Kettle Black
Zelig ,   Memphis,U.S.A.   (08.04.14)
In early 1999,Nato bombed and destroyed 300 Serbian schools and libraires as well as 20 Serbian hospitals. Liberal western anti-semites -go choke on these facts!
20. Response to 2 - Firas
Rube Vogel ,   Jerusalem   (08.04.14)
Hi Firas, You misunderstood the article. They did know it was a school. They were shooting at terrorists near the school. They didn't realize that they had also hit the school. You see - Hamas knows that the Israelis hesitate to shoot near hospitals, schools, etc. so they shoot a lot of their missiles from these places. Since we don't like missiles falling on our heads we shoot back.
