The Israeli Security Cabinet once again spurned international calls to end their invasion of the Gaza Strip, today declaring that not only the war would continue, but that they will “intensify” the attacks.
It was another day of attacks overwhelmingly targeting civilians, with an overnight strike on a UN-run school in a refugee camp, packed with thousands of refugees, killing at least 20 people and wounding hundreds of others. Israel’s Foreign Ministry defended the attack.
Israel went on to declare a four hour “humanitarian lull” in the morning, supposedly giving Gaza civilians a few hours free of attack. When hundreds flocked to a marketplace in Shejaiya, Israel attacked anyhow, killing 17 and wounding 170 others.
Israel went on to defend that attack as well, insisting they made it clear in their official statements that the humanitarian lull didn’t cover that particular marketplace, though they gave no indication as to why they attacked a food market full of civilians.
All told the death toll in Gaza is over 1,442 killed, overwhelmingly civilians. The death toll on the Israeli side is 59, with 56 of them soldiers. The fighting has also displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians within Gaza.
The soaring civilian death toll in Gaza sparked more condemnation from the UN, which dubbed the attack on the school “unjustifiable” and “reprehensible.” Any UN efforts to punish the Israeli military for such attacks will undoubtedly be blocked by the US, however.
Meanwhile the us senate with Harry Reid in charge demanding for US to supplying more of weapons that people in Gaza are killed by Netanyahu fascistic regime. Close the Democratic Party, the us Democratic Party is nothing les then a helping hands to Neo fascism in Ukraine, Islamic Stone Age regime in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to stone aged caliphate created by Barack Hussein Obama in Syria and Iraq.
This is 2014, the twentieth century not the Stone Age of Anglo Saxon before BC, these people needs to understand the fact or get out and give place for those who do.
They are going for the prize..THE COMPLETE GAZA AND THE 'GREATER' IS RA HELL.. amerika IS CAPTURED IN THEIR WEB…..THEIR VENOM IS PARALYZING THE US GOV..!
LOOK AT THE SMILING FACE OF THIS DEMON..
"…UN efforts to punish the Israeli military for such attacks will undoubtedly be blocked by the US…"
Perhaps it's time to rewrite the UN rules and remove the veto power from the Security Council. Though I'm not sure that condemnation by the UN accomplishes much. In this case, large portions of the world population has already condemned that Israeli actions in Gaza. It's too bad that their respective governments have seen fit to ignore the people and instead support Israel's indefensible actions, again. I wold rally like to know what it is the Israelis have on the rest of the world leaders that cause them to act like cowards in the face of atrocity.
What is it we do in the face of atrocity that is so different from the cowardly rest of the world? Angry blogs? At least they are not out there supporting atrocities like the US congress and the John Hagee type pseudochristian zealots in the US. The Zionists are united and dedicated.They have been for two generations. They will not back down. Come to New York and see. On the other hand, I have a life and responsibility that comes first. I cannot match their dedication.
Since the beginning of civilization, the ruling elite have always been able to achieve the needed fearful submission by increasing the military violence until fear disables the desire to be free. Comes now the rulers of Empire USA, namely the corporate rich who own the Western oil and war materials industry, to order their puppet Israel to to push the envelope on military terror and the result of which is now being applied to Ukraine as a fascist coup dictatorship runs riot.
Nothing like a little war crime to get the angry, sexless and tiny-d!cked American war nerds slavering like dogs in a meat shop.
You know the types, fearless laptop bombers, ugly, probably overweight, spreading their sick joy thru the comment spaces over the Israeli blood orgy – tough guys who get all tight in the drawers seeing beautiful women and children murdered by overly armed jewish thugs they KNOW BETTER than to ever criticize (yet they love criticizing America!) That propaganda Kool-Aid they've been drinking for decades does not even allow a tiny flicker of criticism to be entertained in their reptilian brains.
"My wife won't sleep with me, my boss abuses me, my kids hate me, I can't get laid, I'm miserable, let the weakest and most defenseless of the world share in my misery!"

LiveLink pull it out already. Thank you.
Himmler, gobbles & co vote for more of the same
This gleeful massacre in marketplaces, schools etc shows a complete loss of rationality (if there ever was any) by the "Netanyahu government". The pretext moved from "peace talks failing" to "unity of our enemies disallowed" to "teen murders-must be Hamas" to "rockets" and "terror tunnels". None of these remotely justifies the attacks. Self defense-use the wonderful Iron Dome. Tunnels into Israel? Get them from the Israeli side. Marching into Gaza, bombing every possible target, removing the population into half of its usual area so you can bomb more easily????Are these rational acts? Not even by Israel.
