Sadly, Hamas also trains kindergarteners. What passes for "summer camp" in Gaza includes terrorist training for children. Disgusting and depraved, but there you have it.

Very, very observant! Kudos to you. That is indeed a sleeping (not unconscious) child (you can tell that muscle tone is there, which unconscious individuals do not have), with a few daubs of red paint. I hope, for the sake of the child, that the paint is not lead-based.
33. IDF strike

Bomb shelters for Gazans? Let the oil-rich Arabs in the Middle East build them not that anybody would use them- Hamas & the Muslim fundamentalists in Lebanon want civilian casualty- they encourage it with promises of virgins in heaven. Look at the leader Hezbollah Nasrallah recent speech- he wants to die a martyr, hides in a hovel somewhere like a common criminal and does not mind if others die for Allah.
34. air strike in gaza
joel ,   usa   (12.09.11)
well, they deserve more than that, OK, any rcokets from gaza deserve demolition from the IDF for the terrorists, OK?
35. for those who said it was human shield case
observer ,   Egypt   (12.09.11)
if Israel's sophisticated bombing led to no single terrorist hurt and resulted in the death of a civilian and more than 7 women and children, then it was certainly not a human shield case. Israel selectively bombed Muslim children and women. Blowing up residential house and murdering its owner and 7 family members is also not human shield case. Israel has at least to apologize for the collateral damage, and I would say for the main stream damage. don't wait too long for the avenge.
36. #7 - or, gazans can disband terrorism, and won't need either
William ,   Israel   (12.09.11)
Once the "Palestinians" end their illegal terror war against Israel, and their terrorists stop committing war crimes against Israeli civilians, there will be no need for bomb shelters or treatment for shock. Before Hamas entered Gaza in the 1980s, Gazans freely traveled to Haifa and elsewhere. Look what terrorism changes. And if bomb shelters are built for residents, what makes you think Hamas won't use it for themselves, or for storing weapons? They do it already at hospitals, schools, and mosques.
37. #2 - yes, it was targeted...we targeted a Hamas training cam
William ,   Israel   (12.09.11)
Gazans sources admitted Israel had a direct hit on a Hamas training center and weapons/explosives were stored there. That make collateral damage from the explosion the fault of Hamas who stores weapons ILLEGALLY in a residential area. This is a war crime...by Hamas. But the site is justified per Intl Law for attack.
38. #12 - where ever terrorists are in Gaza...
William ,   Israel   (12.09.11)
they are fair game. Keep that in mind.
39. #14 - children weren't bombed....
William ,   Israel   (12.09.11)
they were used as human shields by Hamas. But I agree. Children should be taken out of this war and protected by both sides. They don't deserve any of this.
40. Im not sure what is worse?
Trev ,   Canada   (12.10.11)
That hamas uses human shields, or that Israel blows up children as often as they blow up weapons. If there were terrorists using Israeli civilians as shield the IDF would never drop a bomb on them. Is a Palistinians child worth less than an Israeli child? If so can someone please tell me is it 2:1, 10:2, 100:1?

You are way off the mark. What kind of depravity is it to place a terrorist training camp in a civilian area? In 2006 in Lebanon, and during Cast Lead in Gaza, Israel took great pains to avoid civilian casualties. This, despite the fact that weapons caches have been found in schools, mosques and hospitals, thereby turning them into legitimate military targets. Moreover, during Cast Lead, Israel leafletted comfortably in advance that certain areas were to come under bombardment. They also used loud hailers to urge civilians to leave the area. It is not Israel's fault that Hamas and other terrorist elements would not let civilians leave. All unnecessary civilian casualties therefore are the responsibility of Hamas, and Hamas is to blame. But I do have a question for you. As the British ran roughshod over native communities in Canada as they settled ever westward, what was the ratio in play? Was it 1 British settler to 1 native American? I suspect it was considerably higher than that, because it is estimated that tens of millions of native Canadians perished. Clean your own house; don't worry about ours. You would also get a useful education were you to google "pictures of 'Palestinian' children." You will see infants dressed up as suicide bombers. You will see kindergarteners sporting tee shirts with hate-filled slogans against Jews, and you will see these same kindergarteners waving toy rifles in the air. In Gaza, children dress up for class photo day as terrorists -- their heroes. In Israel, my children were photographed with large alphabet blocks. Therein the difference between the ersatz "Palestinians" and the Jews. The ersatz "Palestinians" are indoctrinated from a very early age to hate Israel and the Jewish people. By the way -- do you have any idea how many children have been killed as a result of NATO's indiscriminate bombing in Afghanistan? Iraq? Waziristan? L:ibya? Didn't think you did. So take your sanctimonious nonsense and shove it.
