1. IDF going thru the motions, lip service.
American Veteran   (07.17.14)
The Israel military, religious, government and people celebrate the murder of non-jewish children. So far 70% of the casualties are civilian.
2. Think About this?
AVi ,   NYC   (07.17.14)
He says the beaches have been shelled heavily by the IDF but yet these kids went to play soccer on those same beaches.
3. What kind of parents let kids play outside
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.17.14)
during wartime bombing ? This is the irresponsibility of the parents - or may be it is a set-up by Hamas.
4. Not Credible
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (07.17.14)
Cameras showed nothing going on at the port or on the beach when the naval gunfire started. The hotel was full of cameras and foreign journalists. The only movement was the kids playing. Either the IDF Navy did it deliberately or is blind to reality. The only available target was the kids.
5. # 1
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.17.14)
Tell me, what percent of the casualties were civilian when we carpet bombed Germany and nuked Japan? Sometimes it doesn't matter.
6. Something is rotten here..
Israelit ,   Israel   (07.17.14)
First of all, as a mother, I am heart broken at the death of children. As a mother I also ask myself, why we're those boys at the beach playing soccer when there's a war going on? Why weren't they home? I wouldn't be surprised if Hamas sacrificed these children for propaganda purposes.
7. Civilian deaths
jj ,   The Hague, NL   (07.17.14)
'There are no civilians in wartime', according to the IDF. This implies everyone in the GS is considered a legitimate target...
8. This is not really a tragedy
(07.17.14)
The tragedy is that you have still not reached a two state solution. Everything else is a logical consequence of that. Those who scuttled the peace talks are the true murderers with blood on their hands.
9. THE investigation is still on.
Hamas did it   (07.17.14)
Kids video taped running on an EMPTY beach, no one around, while everyone else is hiding in their houses (where are their parents?!) and all of a sudden the video cuts and u cant see what happens next.
10. #3 barbara "What kind of parents"?
Albrecht ,   EU   (07.17.14)
Children played even in Auschwitz. It sems, it was inearable for the "most moral army in the world".
11. Israelis have drunk the PC Kool-Aid
Ben   (07.17.14)
That's the result of all the hobnobbing with goyim enemies and frenemies of the leaders... Israelis are more morally confused than ever, they don't understand that it's the Arab Moslems who cause the terror and that they have to be terminated. Bombing empty buildings achieves nothing except wasting money and energy.
12. Kiling civilians
Walid ,   Spain   (07.17.14)
Since the onslaught, you have killed over 200 civilians in Gaza and yet you feel sorry for killing four boys playing football on the beach? WOW since when does Israel feel sorry for killing civilians. You already killed thousands in Gaza and in Lebanon with no regret. Suddenly you feel guilty? New moral standard? It is a joke.
13. A Crime In any case
Zechariah   (07.17.14)
Though Hamas is a Terrorist and Islamic Fascistic organization with whom no peace can be made this error or war crime is contemptible and goes against steps for a Just Remedy in a very Imperfect criminal world .Maybe it will shock Jews and Arabs and cause them to be Disgusted by the Barbarity of War.
14. IDF officials: tragic that our propaganda was exposed
Gerry Shuller ,   Los Angeles USA   (07.17.14)
That is all.
15. Oh dear
Bruce Moran ,   Huntington Beach, US   (07.17.14)
It's Hamas' fault, It's Hamas' fault, look what Hamas made us do
