3. The ONLY thing the US Special Forces are guilty of
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (10.06.15)
is not having dropped a bigger bomb - make that 2x
4. LOL
tiki ,   belgium   (10.06.15)
Disgraceful attitude of double standard & hypocrisy by the US and worth of the '''''strongest condemnation! Bottom line: Don't make stupid accusations for tomorrow it can happen to you!
5. Of the US State Department lied
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.06.15)
The 'shelling' was proven to be a Hamas rocket and had nothing to do with Israel. This was a direct US attack. That is some pinpoint accuracy to paraphrase Herri Kerry
6. 1 - 4 Right on!
MAP ,   Israel   (10.06.15)
7. Credible and Instantaneous
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (10.06.15)
The difference is that the Afghanistan bombing is under a real and credible and instantaneous investigation that started within hours of the incident. And if culpability is possible to determine, people will be court tried under the UCMJ. No white washes.
8. US Shelling of Hospital in Afghanistan
Zvi ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.06.15)
"It's a helluva surgical strike. A helluva surgical strike." - John Kerry One can only call for all sides to exercise restraint.
9. big nation, actually superpower (US), little nation (Israel)
Rafi ,   US   (10.06.15)
Need any more be said? why is it surprising that the standard of judgement is not equal or even fair?
10. Apples and oranges ,...
split   (10.06.15)
In Afghanistan it was a single bomb dropped by mistake on wrong target at night from a few miles up there, in of Gaza UN school case the target was visible from the ground and from the launching spot the shelling was multiple for certain amount of time, it wasn't a mistake ,...
11. Will the history of the Iran Air Flight 655 repeat itself?
Dan ,   Aotearoa   (10.07.15)
If yes, we can expect the officer responsible for this war crime to be promoted and decorated too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655
12. apples and oranges
NORMAN COHEN ,   Ma'ale Adumim   (10.07.15)
Wrong the difference is that with Israel it was a stray shell with the US there was a consistent attack which lasted for an hour.
13. Bravo Mr. Lee! Well done sir! State Dept. = clown depot.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (10.07.15)
14. we live in strange times
C   (10.07.15)
emperor obama and his clueless crew would have never won in wwii. indeed, they would have never even entered the war for fear of killing the reichfheurer. it is well known by objective people that a civilian establishment becomes a valid military target when said civilian establishment is used for military purposes. muslims use civilians as human shields in an attempt to discourage militaries from democratic countries from waging legal war against islamic terrorists. muslims themselves or their partners in crime such as the russians are not inconvenienced by the niceties of the laws of war. of course, the morally reprehensible useless nations will always condemn israel at the drop of a hat.
15. Matt Lee
Al Neuman ,   Philadelphia PA   (10.10.15)
Good for Matt Lee--he's my new hero! For having the courage and honesty (unlike the vast majority of W.H. reporters) to confront the Obama administration on its irrational, biased hostility toward Israel, and incredibly hypocrisy when it comes to criticizing Israel's defensive behavior when responding to relentless rocket attacks from Gaza.
