Apparently 57% Americans support Israel in this conflict which might be an explanation for this:

On the topic of another international hotspot, Clinton strongly sided with Israel in the country's conflict with Hamas and the Gaza Strip.

Clinton said that she has "no doubt" that the current conflict "was a deliberate provocation" by Hamas to "engender more sympathy for their cause and also to put Israel on the back heal."

"I think the responsibility falls on Hamas," Clinton said.

Clinton did say, however, that she supports Secretary of State John Kerry's efforts to secure a ceasefire in the region and hopes the agreement will bring an end to the fighting.

C0ckney, tell me what you think. Are the Palestinians all children? Are the Israelis the only adults in this situation? It's almost as if you believe that the Palestinians are devoid of free will, that they only respond and are incapable of responding in any other way, that they are acting only on instinct. Like animals. Give them the dignity they deserve, and let them have the responsibility for their own actions.

this is a comical piece of projection from someone who in this very thread has denied that israel is responsible for its actions in bombing palestine. who do you think you're fooling?

[The Mad Monk]

Not Clinton, certainly.

Hamas has its own children slayed to garner sympathy, except that they get no sympathy from the only 2 groups that can actually do something: Israel and the US.

I don't think they're that stupid.

[N35t0r]

But hey, when has revanchism led to anything bad?

[Fake Boris]

It's like in Canada when (some) protestors throw rocks at the police, and then the police indiscriminately overwhelms the crowd with pepper spray and plastic bullets.

Then the media coverage, invariably, is like: "protestors provoked the police to garner sympathy from the population". Because indeed, the mass media and the middle class bungalow dweller totally react favourably to images of throwing bottles at the police, and protestors are really that stupid.

Their tactic is working so well that every national media is reporting with the same slant (but they haven't figured out yet).

[N35t0r]

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Or what's your point.

While that is mostly true, the UN has shown considerable bias with regards to Israel so I'd bet there is some exaggeration here.

Hamas Rockets Found in Second United Nations School
It's probably true given that all of the UN buildings seem to be Hamas ammo dumps.

[DinoDoc]

"Vacant Schools", you disingenuous ****er!!!

I was agreeing with you.
