Israel is continuing its bombardment of Gaza as Israeli-Palestinian violence enters its second week and militants in the blockaded Gaza strip carry on their rocket fire.
Hostilities have spilled out into Jerusalem, the West Bank and Israel, as Palestinian protesters striking in solidarity with Gazans clash with Israeli police, some of the protesters throwing rocks while police respond with tear gas. Many of the demonstrators do not support Hamas, but see the protests as acts of resistance against Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.

Airstrikes from Israeli fighter jets killed six people in Gaza on Wednesday and levelled an extended family home in the territory that was home to 40 people. Members of the family say a warning missile fired five minutes before the bombing enabled everyone in the house to escape with their lives.
The Palestinian death toll in Gaza rose to 219 including at least 63 children, according to health officials there. At least 17 Palestinians have also been killed in the West Bank since Friday. The death toll in Israel currently stands at 12, including two children. Two Thai workers in southern Israel were killed in a rocket attack fired from Gaza on Tuesday. Israel says more than 3,400 rockets have bombarded its cities and towns.

We were after the tunnels. The homes just happened to be in the way - Bibi Netanyahu.

Were the American revolutionaries who fought the British terrorists?

(15,325 posts)There is a long history of placing blame in that region, and shit was going on before the UN gave the land to Israel.
Plenty of blame to go around & it ain't just Israel.
