These savages have no respect for life whatsoever! The cubs were doomed from birth because they were objectified as being toys to amuse kids and nothing more. A curse on Hamas for what they did, once again, to innocent life.

Two beautiful creatures unable to survive, following their birth. What a pity Hamas didn't get an Israeli vet to check them out. But that would be an admission of recognising Israel. Hey, wait a minute, what about the grand-daughter of Mr Haniyeh?

Why were the cubs being bottle fed right after birth? Don't those idiots know that the mother's milk had the nutrition and immune factors that the cubs needed? It's just like with babies. Are they that stupid? I guess they are. Lionesses often grieve when their babies are killed or die. HAMAS, YOU TREAT THAT LIONESS LIKE A QUEEN!!!!!

and hopefully this is a sign that their wars will be a failure as well

The Cubs were doomed from the start. Born into a society based upon hate, terror and death. A real Sedom and Gemorrah, on planet earth.

They absorbed pollonium and suffered the same death as Yasser Arafat. Again Israel is the culprit!!!! shame on you Israel killing lion cubs with no pity. Gaza kids will not see them growing.

then in a gaza zoo..they would have starved or been used to kill regime opponents

MAYBE THE CUBS DID NOT WANT TO LIVE IN HAMAS DOMINATED GAZA, AND DEATH WAS BETTER THAN LIVING AMONG TERRORISTS.

Hamas would use the lions to kill opponents, just like in the old Rome. The terror-organization is a picture of death to both huans and animals. Everyone should remember how they threw pro-fatah members off roofs and killed handcuffs fatah-member, lying on the ground..even lynching people and dragging the corps through the streets..evilness..

WHAT CAN ONE EXPECT FROM A DEATH ORIENTED GROUP LIKE HAMAS...IT IS ALWAYS DEATH TO SOMEONE,,U S,, ISRAEL OR WHOEVER...ARE THESE THE GUYS WHO WILL EVENTUALLY SHARE POWER IN A PALESTINIAN GOVERNMENT?? WORD IN GAZA HAS IT THAT THE MOSSAD BIRD..A WREN I THINK WHO HAS DONE ALL THAT SPYING IN EGYPT AND IRAN KILLED THE CUBS ..WHAT PERFIDY WILL ISRAEL THINK OF NEXT

Poor animals died of Hamas stupidity, nothing else. Hamas needs to be wiped off the earth- they serve no useful purpose at all. All Gaza should take up arms and kill every Hamas member they find.

human runs in and grabs them from their mother and shoves cows milk down their throats...... just to get a picture for the media. IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!

You can't be serious with your comment. Cause if you are, you must be imbecile. So I take it as an sarcastic comment.

Will the National Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals raise their voice in protest? Or disappear into the woodwork like all the Rachel Corrie wanabees when they're really needed?

I should have know by your homeland UK that opening your post would make me vomit. And guess what it did. What is it about you evil people in the UK ? When will you get over your feeling of loss of superiority.. The British Empire has sunk. Get over it.

Amusing to see posters here condemn Hamas for the deaths of these two cubs, from reading the comments you'd think Khaled Mashal tried to raise the cubs personally. The simple truth is that millions of innocent people, mainly children are held captive in Gaza by Israel, their lives controlled by Israel (Israel controls all commercial imports/exports). Thousands of innocent Gazans have died because of Israel's stranglehold on Gaza yet none of the 'I-love-baby-lion-cubs-I-hate-Hamas' posters here give a damn about these humans.

If Jews caused the shark attacks in Sinai, surely they killed these cubs as well.

Guess the cubs self-selected to NOT be part of the Hamas PR campaign in which everyone, even the animal kingdom, is a "shield".

1) they can leave through Egypt. I guess its also Israels fault that Egypt seals the border also ? 2) Your friends can easily change their Charter calling for the destuction of israel and sign a phony peace treaty. Hamas is responsible for death and destruction in Gaza and Israel. You need to open your eyes !

Seems legit.

Sally (hassan)Show us a human in (political office)Gaza who does not want to destroy Israel and Jews and we will show sympathy for Gazans. Or they could turn to their arab brothers on the other border crossing (closed) and ask for their sympathy. Please write factual information not inflammatory remarks. I for one do feel bad for cubs.

Israel prevents Palestinians in the occupied Gaza strip from importing the necessary equipments to take care of animals in Gaza zoo.

hate filled Jew haters that preach murderous killing jihad! You obviously wouldn't understand the truth!

The Gazian homicide, murderous, jihadist leaders always find a way to import weapons, explosives, cement for tunnels, and metals for kassam bombs to kill Jews. What makes you think they have any interest in saving the life of animals? They are to busy just thinking about killing!

Are these the same bleeding-beart Hamasniks who booby-trapped the Gaza Zoo during Operation Cast Lead? Is it Any wonder how they don't sound very convincing when they pretend to care about animal welfare....
