Would you bomb a school?

Would you bomb a school?

Israel deliberately shelled a girls school today killing and injuring about 100 civilians (mostly children). They don't claim it was an accident. In fact they admit it was deliberate.

Israel stated the school wasn't being used as a school at the time. Absolutely true. It was being used as a shelter for children. Classes are cancelled right now in Gaza.

They claim they believed they had been fired upon from the school. But in the resulting carnage, they only found civilians. Not a single militant was among the dead and wounded.

Is this a terrorist act? Is war crime too strong?
Would you bomb a school?


Let's recap here. Israel and Hamas had a ceasefire which lasted for 4 months until Israel sent commandos into Gaza and killed several Hamas members. Hamas responded with their ineffective rockets which harmlessly made some crators in the desert. Israel responds with assassinations and a blockade of international humanitarian food and medical aid... effectively using food as a weapon. Israel continues assassinating Hamas members, Hamas keeps responding to each assassination with a barrage of rockets. After two months of this tit-for-tat, which resulted in numerous Palestinian deaths but not a single Israeli death, Israel launches a full out assault on Gaza, which is about half the size and twice the population density of Toronto. It is surrouned by walls so the civilians living there have no where to run or hide in the event of war. Israel started the battle by sending wave after wave of bombers, followed by artillery barrages and then a ground invasion of tanks, and infantry. As the two sides exchange machine gun and mortar fire, inevitably civlians have been caught in the crossfire. Nows its degraded to the point where Israel has started shelling schools, knowing they are full of children because they think Hamas militants might be hiding there.

Would the Israeli apologists care to go on the record and defend this callous cold blooded act?

Deliberately targeted the building, YES. Deliberately targeting civilians, NO, Mistakenly believing there were Hamas fighters in the building, YES. It's a mistake. a terrible and tragic one at that, but it is a mistake.
What is not a mistake is months and months of thousands of rockets fired into Israel. Hamas has what they wanted all along, an Israeli response and the opportunity to act as a victim.

Read the post above: The UN told the IDF they were using the school as a shelter and it was full of civilians. The IDF knew or should have known that shelling the school would result in many innocent civilian deaths.

I know the kids today can be little hellions and a lot of times a person could actually feel like bombing the little heathens, but I'd be hard pressed to actually do it. For all their faults kids are still precious.

Only Jewish children are precious all others are animals. Ask Lineman.

If you don't know wtf you're targeting..... don't attack it.... it's pretty basic logic even for the stupid out there in the world.

This wasn't a mistake, this was stupidity. It was a school, where else do civilians have to go besides schools, churches, hospitals and their own homes to avoid the fighting in Gaza?

Nowhere, because even those places are being shelled to sh*t.

This is a blaitent slaughter.

I have heard of at least two UN Schools being shelled by Israel since last night..... you'd think they would have perhaps changed their tactics like sending in a small recon to areas where civilians would be hiding to confirm if they should attack or not...... but no, they're just lowly palestinians, might as rid the world of them right?

I love how people here who support Israel like to keep using the Hamas as an excuse for their actions and claiming that this is what Hamas wanted....... yet where are all the dead Hamas soldiers?

All I keep hearing about are hundreds of civilians being killed by Israel.

I ain't got a lick of sympathy for Israel and every troop of theirs that dies from this war..... they have it coming and I say good.

The response from Israel shouldn't be much of a surprise to you then.

I agree Praxius but do not allow them the excuse of stupidity with respect to the civilian deaths. Civilians are the target, civilians are always the target, women and children are the enemy Praxius there is no separation between the enemy and the enemies family except on paper and in the minds of fools.
see The Art of War crush the hearths and homes and the hearts will follow, to break the will of the enemy butcher his women and children and burn his huts and fields, war has only one aspect and that is murder foul and furious.
As Durka has kindly pointed out murder will be met with murder, the Zionist is perhaps the vilest current exponent of this technique , and has been many times in the past. Always cry victim it makes vengefull murder sweeter by far.
We have heard broadcast ten thousand times the faux humane phonecalls to Palestinians warning them of attack, this is a well understood technique used to drive the civilians into the streets where the shrapnel efficiently cuts them to shreads. They will leave exploding toys laying arround for the children as well.

That's because Hamas, a repugnant organisation who have, in their time, thrown homosexuals off cliffs, probably deliberately placed rocket launchers in the school's grounds. They care not about the people of Gaza. They deliberately place their rocket launchers in civilian areas knowing that the Israelis will target, quite rightly, the rocket launchers, knowing that civilians will then get killed and then Hamas can then go crying to the UN about Israel "deliberately" targeting civilians, even though Hamas were deliberately targeting civilians when they fired 600 rockets a week into Israel. The fact that Hamas didn't kill hundreds of Israeli civilians was not because they didn't target Israeli civilians but because most of their rockets failed miserably.

Put it this way, if France fired 600 rockets a week onto Britain then Britain would rain hundreds of rockets down onto French cities in retaliation, and we would be justified in doing so, no matter what the rest of the world thinks and WE would tell the UN to get stuffed.

And don't forget that the Jews were in that part of the world BEFORE the Muslims, and lived in Palestine for over 3000 years before the Arabs invaded. Palestine was a Jewish state before it was anything else.

Jesus lived in that part of the world and he was Jewish, and he was alive centuries BEFORE Mohammed was even born (and I woud have thought that was fairly obvious).

And Israel only "occupies" a tiny percentage of the original Palestine Mandate. Over 77% of the original Palestine Mandate is "occupied" by Jordan though (maybe due to anti-Jewishness) Israel-haters never mention that fact.

are you sure that jesus lived in that part of the world? or any part for that matter....are you sure he even existed? there are so many lies associated with israel and jews etc, it wouldnt surprise me if jesus was a lie also

Well whether you believe in God or religion is one matter but if you look at it in a Historical sense...he existed. Just like we know Kings, Emperors, etc. existed. Someone surely shook up the world during that time.

Exactly. But Israel-haters are to blind to recognize the facts....

What about all the innocent Israelis killed by suicide bombers over the recent years?? Your thought process is skewed....

The shyte-disturbers from both sides only arrived after WW2 - displaced European Jewry and out-of-work Arab Nazis....

If they felt the school was used to fire upon them, they're justified in getting rid of the threat. It wouldn't be the first time Hamas has used civilians to mask their attacks, noir will it be the last. It part of their operational policy.

Terrorist... War crime... Not even close

in a Historical sense...he existed

I'm sure he did (although there is no proof) just like hundreds of other carpenters or fly by night psychics did back then.

Someone surely shook up the world during that time

The Romans

"She went outside in order to prevent them arresting someone from her house," one of the students said. "They knocked her down and there was blood on her head."
The Israeli terrorist army said the woman fell on a stairway but attributed the fall to an apparent heart attack. It denied that any Israeli terrorist shoved Ayyad or caused her to fall. Meanwhile doctors said Ayyad succumbed to her injuries from the shove. "The cause of death was being pushed to the ground and being struck in the head."
This is the least you can expect from the Israeli terrorist army.

Israeli occupation forces have arrested more than 10,000 Palestinian women of various backgrounds and ages since 1967.-----Arresting mothers, wives and sisters of wanted persons or detainees is one form of collective punishment,

Quick facts:


Israel doesn't bomb schools, hospitals--Israel is being misrepresented by anti semites
