Destroyed car and buildings from Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. Statement At approximately 10:30pm on Wednesday 27 February, an Israeli air strike hit the Ministry of Interior building in Gaza City. The attack also destroyed the head office of Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) in Gaza, and killed Mohammad Nasser al-Borey, a 6-month-old baby who was in his family home inside a United Nations school compound. The offices the al-Mezan Centre for Human Rights had vacated last month fearing such an attack have also been damaged. Over 30 civilians were injured in this specific attack. The PMRS head office was housing the main PMRS clinic in the Gaza Strip, including its main pharmacy, a mobile clinic, a loan centre for persons with disabilities and all administrative offices. The mobile clinic, all the medicine supplies and most of the equipment have been destroyed.

The building itself is badly damaged and cannot be used again without extensive repairs. This bombardment is part of ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip: over the last 24 hours, there have been over 15 people killed (including at least three children) over 30 people injured (including several children) in over 25 Israeli air strikes and artillery strikes. One of the artillery strikes hit a crowd of children playing football near a wedding hall in the Jabalia refugee camp, killing two children and injuring five.

Israel’s aerial bombing in the centre of a densely-populated city is an illegal means of warfare; it is clear that these attacks will directly cause civilian casualties and damage to civilian property and infrastructure. The targeting of schools, clinics and ministries is a war crime. These attacks come amidst the ongoing collective punishment of the occupied civilian population of Gaza; this includes the restricting fuel, electricity, food, medical, and humanitarian supplies – resulting in humanitarian crisis. Since the start of 2008, 132 Gazans have been killed in Israeli attacks; it is estimated that over 44 civilians have died as a result of being denied access to medical care.

The international community has an obligation to ensure that international humanitarian law is upheld by all parties. International donors must take a stand against all ongoing violations, and particularly address the destruction of Palestinian civil society projects and infrastructure that they support.

When you Brits live under 122mm ordnance coming through your salon roof day in day out then maybe we Israelis will give your nonsense a listen to. Until then, continue to use our technology to cry for this or that.


I love it. Gaza is literally the most densely populated region on the planet with now close to 2.4 million residents. They say they are fightinf for independance and yet it was handed to them in August ,2005. Why the Qassami?

As for the graphic of the plane over a pram, the baby everyone blamed on Israel? The poor little girl that died? She was killed by her own people. Residents actually told the truth and admitted it was a Qassam that fell short.

You'll note that when the IRA was blowing things up on our mainland as well as our bit of the Emerald Isle, we somehow managed to refrain from using our artillery. A few loony paras yes, heavy ordnance, no.

Thus hardly any Irish children died for the sins of their fathers (or their fathers' neighbours, or the neighbours distant cousins....)

Similarly in Palestine in the late 40s, I seem to recall my Grandad talking about his unit being sniped at and bombed by Zionists, but I don't think he ever called in an airstrike on a densly populated jewish area.... or has history been re written?


Anyway, twat, the ins and outs of one dead kid's demise are neither here nor there. You lot bomb built up areas as collective punishment.

That is not justifiable, can't be right, and defending it makes you a seeping stinking festering sore on the face of humanity, you fucker.

Fuck off and bomb a baby, cheer yourself up.

Got any answers for Grandma Death, Mr. Liar?

Have you ever heard of the word "causality"?
 
They say they are fightinf for independance and yet it was handed to them in August ,2005. Why the Qassami?
Why? After the long yet fragile ceasefire, broken by IDF shelling the Gazans on the beach.

Please spare us the same-old 'justification' mantras.
 
Coccinelle: You call it what you want but it is fact. Furthermore, please answer the generalised question, how would you feel waiting for a 122 mm shell to land on your head?

Chainsaw: The IRA regularly planeted bombs in crowded civlain areas so that analogy is off.

As for your grandfather, yes many Brits were targetted. They were after all colonialists, not to mention their having caused the death and injury of many Jewiush children due to their policy of Arab appeasment (blockading any incoming refugee ships, telling the Yishuv (pre-statehood governmental apparatus) one thing and then tell the Arabs the other. In almost cases where Arabs iniated pogroms, British soldiers stood by holding rifles and doing nothing.

Your grandfather would not have had the poiwer to call for an airstrike since the Brits were merely policing the area until such time as both Jew and Arab could each form their own nations. More to the point, did your grandfather have Qassams coming through his camp each day? Had he, he might have then called them in.


Your last 2 paragraphs are just so typical. You choose to post in a forum devoted to ALL politics and current events in the MidEast but then take umbrage when someone dares to disagree with your OPINION. That is pretty sad. If you just want to hear your self run off at the mouth, save some cash and buy a friendly parakeet.


Panda:Again, no civility, no answer. I do want to add however, that his/her 3 questions were very popular subjects in Israel, at that time. Ergo, she/he, you or any other person who really cares could easily find them online.

I myself offered to do just that, prior to my mom being called a cun$.I understand that you have some sort of defect that makes it impossible for you to act in an adult manner, but again, if you cannot manage to do so with me, ignore my posts.

Nino:Again, English is far from my first language. If you have nothing to add to the subject of this thread, why even bother to chime in?

Tangent: Spare us mantras.": No, I provide actual facts, as well as my viewpoint and that is what this forum is SUPPOSED to be about.

As for the shelling of a beach. First, that beach (actually bush behind it) were targetted because of a chain of Qassams emanating from there. Secondly, despite the "expert" testimony of Amnesty In ternational's "ordnance expert"), Israel proved that it was HAMAS/PIJ (since they were manning that site in a joint operation. One would think that someone bringing that story up would know all important facts attached to it

The Brits were doing what, now? As a Zionist, I am sure you will be familiar with the name of Orde Wingate. Wingate wasn't involved in 'police' actions, he actively assisted in the forced removals and subsequent deaths of innocent people.
 
Frogwoman: "Does Israel ever do anything wrong?": Actually, Frog, if you do not mind me calling you by your first name that is, I have often offered critiscism, even within this very forum, of my nation. It is only when I see unfounded criticism that I take up its banner and try to correct misconceptions.

I have one thing that really drives me nuts and it is a true injustice. Within our military, and I have mentioned this before, only Jews may become pilots! That is a true injustice, one for which I myself have suffered professionaly when taking it to the floor.

An Israeli-Arab youth wished to become a pilot and had perfect, or almost perfect aptitude scores but was denied under the IAF policy. He sued and ended up being given a tank command in Armour. I find it apalling.

Want more?

When you offer genuine criticism of things that are truly incorrect, even heinous, you might be suprised at my reaction.
 
Nino: "Orde Wingate.": Not all Brits were evil. In fact it was a Brit who helped us to found HaGanah (this same man of course, Wingate), and he is honoured in our nation.

The facts though are that the Brits were colonialists, meaning their administration and played both sides of the coin. When it worked against them they should not have cried foul.

Mauvais: You might not be aware but 122 mm ordnance has been flying in from Gaza for close to a year. As to the who? PIJ claims it is theirs. Technically it is Katyusha but since it is coming from Gaza we lump them together in reporting, etc.

Yeah so doesn't this policy of Israel's tell you something? I mean what other country in the Western world has such a policy? :rolleyes: Can you imagine the British government making up a random law that people from Cornwall aren't allowed to be pilots in the air force?

Surely its gotta be questioned, why these policies of Israel continue, because in other democratic countries they wouldn't happen at all.
 
Frog: You fail to take our history into account though. The policy itself, in my mind is foul, and yet it does have its rationale. We have existed for less than 60 years. How many attacks have we endured and from what group of people? the military still resists fully integrating because it knows what an errant pilot could do to our nation. A single one of those planes could literally destroy us and so the policy still stands. With time I hope it disappears, and believe it will, but it is what it is.

England has existed for how many years? Comparing our 2 nations is kind of funny. Your policies have had hundreds of years of experience behind them...We will catch up though.

As for it not happening in a democratic nation. We have 2.2 million Arab CITIZENS who can vote whom they wish into office and that person can change or implement any policy they wish.
 
You know there's a great line in the old Radiohead tune Just which goes "You do it to yourself, and that's why it really hurts". Don't think they were talking about the I/P conflict but you know, they may have well have...

Is it? Nations are constructed and, in the case of Israel, it was created by violence and theft....just like the USA.

.

You clearly don't know your own history...or you are in possession of a version of your history that exists in someone's imagination. Orde Wingate was a misguided, Xtian Zionist who saw the Arabs as "evil". He did more than simply help found the Haganah, he provided political and moral support for Zionist militants...until the British government removed him for being too zealous in his pursuit of his goal. He was also a nutter; quite often appearing before his men in the nude with an alarm clock around his waist.

Nice narrative btw.
 
Nino:" Violence and theft.": You mean a UN Ratification is violent?

I know all about Wingate and to me, he was a great man. Thank G-D all you Brits are not as misguided as some of the ones on this board.

You're real dissembler, aren't you? Like you, Wingate was a madman who was only concerned with his 'divine' mission.
 
Coccinelle: You call it what you want but it is fact. Furthermore, please answer the generalised question, how would you feel waiting for a 122 mm shell to land on your head?


Well, on the occasions I've been waiting for ordnance to get to me (admittedly 82mm was the biggest to get near) it never occured to me that killing random children would be a good way of keeping the bombs off.

Chainsaw: The IRA regularly planeted bombs in crowded civlain areas so that analogy is off.

Is it? Why exactly?

As for your grandfather, yes many Brits were targetted. They were after all colonialists, not to mention their having caused the death and injury of many Jewiush children due to their policy of Arab appeasment (blockading any incoming refugee ships, telling the Yishuv (pre-statehood governmental apparatus) one thing and then tell the Arabs the other. In almost cases where Arabs iniated pogroms, British soldiers stood by holding rifles and doing nothing.

Oh the irony. What do you think the Palestinians think you lot are? Tourists? Door to door salesmen? Surely not.... Colonists! And have those colonists (in Palestinian eyes) killed Palestinian children? Clue: Yes.



Your last 2 paragraphs are just so typical. .

I bet they are. You must get a lot of abuse becausse you advocate the killing of children.
 
They say they are fightinf for independance and yet it was handed to them in August ,2005. Why the Qassami?
They were not granted their "independence" in anyway shape or form. All that happened is Israel pulled its forces/settlements out of Gazan territory. Nothing more. Israel still controls the borders of Gaza, what goes in, what goes out, and that is not "independence" no matter how far you stretch the definition. Even the Egyptian border is patrolled by Egyptian forces on the say so of Israel. So why the Qassam? Because the Gazans are lashing out because they are trapped in the largest prison on Earth and have no control over their future, more than that, they are being starved to death by Israel's reluctance to allow the Palestinians to control what comes in through their own borders, after all, Israel may close its border, Egypt may follow suit, but Gaza has a coast and they should have 100% control of what comes and goes from Gaza's seaport (if it's still standing that is...)
