4. why do we kill so much children ?
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (01.09.09)
when hamas and friends will stop launching rockets from hospitals schools and crowded areas, maybe we will kill less civilians. They don't care about their brothers and children ... Should we do ? No ! Go on tsahal, go on. may G.d bless all our hayalim, may G.d exterminate all this stinky hamas
5. #1 + 2
john ,   dublin   (01.09.09)
thats the best you can come up with? even if they published the exact details of the witnesses, which never happens, you would claim that they dont exist. if they published video testimony, youd say it was fake. anything to convince yourselves that wholesale massacres are not taking place. words cannot express my horror and disgust.
6. Such BS
(01.09.09)
on January 4th the IDF just entered the strip, it didn't reach any neighborhood but only the open ground next to them. So much for UN credibility. They prove again that they are a tool in terrorists' hands.
7. Why should we trust the UN? They lied before
Sue ,   Canada   (01.09.09)
8. If this is even true...
Kev ,   London   (01.09.09)
The IDF/IAF forces should still be commended that not more such incidents occur. Hamas actually PLACE civilians on the rooftops of buildings in order that the IAF won't bomb them. It is almost perfectly miraculous that not more of them get killed. If I ever democratically vote for a stated terrorist organisation in the UK, be it on my own head. Moreover, if my government then plays perpetual aggressor towards a neighbouring nation and I get killed by that nation as a result, what complaint could I honestly appeal? Gazans (don’t even limit it to Hamas), need to understand that extremely poor electoral choices have extremely poor military consequences.
9. Ignore these vile pacifist liars
Amenophis ,   canada   (01.09.09)
The biased media is purposely listening to this vile liars from the UN. Let's face it, these are typical pacifist, full of hatred for Israel, so what else do we expect from these outfits. Israel will have to turn a deaf ear this time to these things, and completely take out hamas etc. Nothing short of that is going to do! Otherwise, your women and children are continally going to pay the price!!!
10. The Orwellian UNBS channel
Ypip ,   Canada   (01.09.09)
Out there getting the facts and figures for its listeners.
11. ISRAEL IS PSYCHOTIC
mark Rabinow ,   london, UK   (01.09.09)
This revelation too matters little since Israeli majority is psychotic and will conclude instantly that it is the palestinians' fault that they die.
12. Allegations
Ros ,   London, UK   (01.09.09)
Why is YNet even giving these claims the credence of publishing them here? If there is no independent verification, then the only allegations come from Hamas UN operatives themselves. If Hamas were to say that Israeli soldiers were 'drinking the blood of Gazan citizens', would you print that too? Irresponsible journalism.
13. I for one am proud
Danny   (01.09.09)
to have Israeli approaches to human rights criticised by Egypt, Pakistan and Cuba. It would a cause for concern if they agreed with us.
14. Mark, #11
Kev ,   London   (01.09.09)
"Israeli majority is psychotic " You want to see psychos and numeric figures pertaining to the actions of a truly psychotic majority? Go here: www.thereligionofpeace.com.
15. Psychology 101 "Grad" Student
Gideon Reader   (01.09.09)
To Rainbow #11 (Londonistan) Hey Marky, Get it? Grad Student? Grad. aka:Katyusha. Like raindrops, they keep fallin' You ever live under a daily threat of a rocket bonking you in the coconut? Ever worry about your kiddies having a Kassam come thru the roof and do them in at pre-school? Rocks thru your windscreen, bullets thru your car door? Stabbed at the market(well OK, you are in London so maybe that last is not a good example)but you get the drift. Do you actually feel that self defense is not a good idea? Really? Or are your views contaminated by your place in the political spectrum, over there on the left. Good news Pal. Where you sit politically will not stop a rocket from dinging you round the earhole. Time to grow up. You have a brain. Try exercising it.
16. Well If U.N Said Israelis Did Crimes It
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.09.09)
Must be true....U,N = Devil Incarnate.
17. BBC broadcasting this as fact
La Cumparsita ,   London UK   (01.09.09)
The BBC have been broadcasting this all day as if it is true. It is like the mythical "Jenin massacre" all over again. A modern blood libel.
18. The UN Lies!
emanon ,   USA   (01.09.09)
19. killing children in Gaza
Poppy   (01.09.09)
BS ALL OF IT THE WORLD WILL WAKE UP THE ARABS SAID THEY WILL CONQUER THE WORLD FROM THE WOMB OF THE WOMAN WELL LISTEN CAREFULLY AND YOU SHOULD ALL BE AFRAID BECAUSE THEIR WOMAN ARE IN ALL YOUR COUNTRIES BEARING CHILDREN JUST NOW YOU WILL BE OUT NUMBERED BY THEM AND THEN WHAT WILL YOU HAVE TO SAY
20. War crimes tribunal at the Hague...
Dave Wilson ,   usa   (01.09.09)
Should be extremely busy in the comming years handing out guilty verdicts against Israeli political and military leaders. Keep Guantanamo open, Israeli tenants should be housed there soon.
21. The Whole World Is Watching
World Citizen ,   the world   (01.09.09)
As Israel does so shall the Jewish people be judged. It will be reviled among the nations and become a curse to the Jewish people.
22. Remember the tank shell that hit the UN convoy?
(01.09.09)
Apparently it wasn't a tank shell, one of the workers was killed but two were rescued by IDF soldiers and taken for treatment in Israel at Barzilay hospital in Ashkelon. They are being treated for GUN SHOT WOUNDS TO THE CHEST. So what was it the UN? Tank shell or Palestinian sniper fire? UN needs to be dismantled or revised.
23. And,.....they are off.
Gideon Reader   (01.09.09)
To Little Street Band #17 in Londonistan. 'course they are. BBC has not had ANY cred since sometime around the Profumo, Keeler, Rice-Davies affair. It is interesting (and fun) to watch the race to the bottom of trust and credibility of the New York Times, CNN, and the other "news organs" (an apt name) Each of the sources is so bad that I am loathe to place my plugged dinari on any of the entrants. It is generally called the Dinosaur media Death Watch, here in the USA. And I am kvelling. Tango on.
24. Hamas fighting like Mugabe's men.
(01.09.09)
Hamas has much in common with the many African countries. They have violent takerovers with brutal killings of the opposition. Their values are the same. Coming from the UN agencies this is suspect. Almost all employees of the UN are Gazans or Palestinians, "wittnesses" must be named and interogated, it is a terrible charge and should not be taken as fact. These kind of things have happened before and proven to be deliberate lies or misrepresentation of the truth.
25. #21 well said ........and
palestinian ,   USA   (01.09.09)
the safest place and the only ...for all of them will be Israel .... it unfolding in our eyes ..just like the holy books predicted . not shocking at all .
26. What we are witing for from some vampires
(01.09.09)
thos eare people came from diffrent parts from the world , mixed cultures , mixed blood , no basics , no tradtions , growed up on the hands of the rules of the old zionists which their priciples is take the land on the died body of anyone in the world , they tought them any other blood which is not Jew is dirty blood and not important , rule the world with any clean or dirty way their protocoles say this so what we can expect from them and thanks God the report didn't come from Hammas or any Palistinian , till when the world will leave them to do what they want , how many children has to be killed till someone move Mr. Obama will you do this ???????? America stop supplaying them with your weapons they kill the children with it ... STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP or don't ask anymore why the Arabs hates you
27. #5 - John - Didn't you forget something??
William ,   Israel   (01.09.09)
Like neither the hospitals having knowledge of the incident nor casualties from it, and the IDF not even being there on that day? These facts seem pretty darn important to the case. While I want to trust the UN, I just can't seem to considering the outrageous tales they've told in the past. Not to mention those of average Pals, like the exploded death toll in Jenin, the endless tapes of fake funerals in West Bank, and the "eye-witness" accounts of IDF targeting children while the kids ride on the back of an APC through Nablus. Perhaps they did tell the truth, from their own perspective, which means it's very subjective. Or perhaps it was an elaborate setup by Hamas operatives to get an early civilian death toll. They have been known to wear IDF uniforms from time to time for operations.
28. Interesting how quickly people believe this article
William ,   Israel   (01.09.09)
based on a one-sided story and not matching with facts on the ground - from hospitals and the IDF - who are major players in the situation now. Is it your blood lust or your internal anti-semetism that drives you to believe any and all stories about Israel and the IDF, but question or even dismiss stories about Hamas which include civilian testimonies, video, and captured items?
29. #17, La Cumparsita. The BBC.
Kev ,   London   (01.09.09)
The BBC, and those that suffer themselves to be degraded by working there, will be judged by G-d one day. Their actions, on numerous occasions (not to mention the one here), have no doubt caused the death of manifold innocents in this world. May G-d judge them.
30. Baby killing is an art....
Dave Wilson ,   usa   (01.09.09)
That is being perfected in Israel...
