Bloodbath in Gaza

[Saint Marcus]

Various newspapers here made big headlines speaking of a bloodbath that occured in Gaza.

And regardless of if it was justified or not, it certainly was a bloodbath.

12 tot 14 people died in Israeli raids in the Gaza strip.
100-150 people were wounded in Israeli raids in the Gaza strip.



and for you Israel supporters...note that even the US is "deeply troubled" by this event.

Terrible.

Yes, deeply troubling, you would think you would get a higher body count with such high tech weapons the jews have.

It's interesting that ol Kofi doesn't give a rat's ass when it's a suicide bomber taking out a bus load of kids.

Even the US is critical of Israel here, and regardless of what the Palestinians did, two wrongs never make a right.

And like anyone cares what Kofi Annan thinks. The key thing here is that the US doesn't support the Israeli actions. This means that nobody supports the Israeli action, besides the Israel itself.

And it's very sad that so many people died or were wounded. Regardless of what has happened in the past, this just isn't right.

About time the Jews starting acting tough! Now if they could quit acting and actually do something.

What do you mean ? High tech weapons are made to kill more not to spare lifes.

I'm Pro-Israel, but damn. They really have to learn that overkill is a bad thing. Sometimes the chisel is a better tool that the hammer. Whatever happened to the use of snipers. That would keep collateral damage down.

They're all in Maryland.

They were shooting missiles from helicopters into appartment buildings. They even opened fire at a hospital.

They say they are fighting terrorists. Yeah sure! :

I want to see a US or any European army division occupying an enemy city, with gunmen everywhere and boobytrapped main streets. They will burn half of it to the ground from the air even before thinking about entering. And when asked about civilian casualties, they will say that they couldnt risk the troops.

But when the troops are Jews? Who cares, the "civilians" must be protected!

Didn't you know that palestinian nurses are into the axis of evil?

[ZoboZeWarrior]

Nurses are elit units :
They can heal damaged terrorist units and produce new terrorist unit.

Saint Marcus, I assume your post is made for humanitarian reasons. In that case, you should also mention the motar attack on Jewish settlements from the Hamas located in the camp under attack.

That said, everyone knew that a military attack on Gaza would result in a lot of civilian casualties due to the density of population. So, what is Israel to do with Hamas who attacks it by stealth by hides in densely populated areas?

They're supposed to take it up the ass like all the peacenik Euroweenies.
