Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed “regret” Tuesday after Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip left eight people, including a number of civilians, dead and 13 others badly wounded.
Israeli officials insisted that four of the slain were all “field commanders” for a militant group, but the other four have been confirmed to be civilians, including two children who were playing soccer at the time.
The strikes destroyed one family’s home and also hit the nearby soccer field. Israel promised an “inquiry” into the killings but insisted that they were within their rights to launch the attack.
The killings have escalated tensions between the two sides, which have been trading fire over the past several days, and the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip promised to get revenge for today’s killings.
Yet another murderous attack by a "western ally", and apartheid state which is totally out of control, thanks in large measure to American politicians. According to other reports I've read, 5 children were murdered.
Will the war-mongering Nobel peace prize winning American president and the French marionette Sarkozy now be calling for a no-fly-zone over Gaza? Supported by the British and Canadians of course.
Hey, Obama, when are you going to protect innocent civilians in Gaza?
Looks like Israel is again terrifed of the outbreak of peace. Ratchet up the strikes until there is a suitably large response then 'Operation Cast Lead 2'?
Israelis will when ever they like and then hide in the lap of america a supporter for illegal killers and like weise also a killer nation around the world and wish that Allah punish immidiately wrong doers but it will take time.
Benjamin Netanyahu expressed “regret” '
Yeah. I am sure he is just like he was with the 1400 kids he murdered in the Gaza operation cast lead. Reagan was the teflon president but it is clear the clown Netanyahu is the tar baby prime minister. There is nothing this rich kid from Mainline Philadelphia that turns into anything but an international disgrace on israel. Like J. Pollard Netanyahu blames his religion for why people dislike him. The thousands of dead from his actions never enters into his though process. Why the smart people of Israel would return to a proven failure is hard to understand. I do love Netanyahu claim that at least some of those murdered were “field commanders” for a militant group. What makes this monster Netanyahu believe he has the right to murder someone because they are associated with some group. Does this mean that the Germans has a right to murder Natanyahu relatives 60 years ago. When is murder the correct action. I thought moral people killed only as the last resort instead of the preferred choice.
I do get a kick that they will make another "official' investigation. What a shock when they come back and the Israel investigation report they were arabs and our policy is they are cockroaches and it is not murder.
It's a tragic, deplorable situation where Arab kids get killed by accident and settler kids get killed on purpose. The youth on both sides are innocent and continue to be harmed because the grown-ups can't resolve their conflict peacefully. If Hamas (i.e. one of Iran's militias) hadn't been shelling Israel relentlessly for the last ten days, sending Israelis scurrying into bomb shelters, those Arab kids would still be alive.
But, as usual, you're far too hysterical and prejudiced to recognize the complicity of the Arab side. Not only that, but you misrepresent facts like crazy: nobody killed "1400 kids". If you had any inkling about what was really going on over there, you'd know that Netanyahu had to act in some way. It's a cycle of violence, and there would be much LESS violence if Iran wasn't fomenting it. The real monsters, the only ones who love it when Israel accidentally kills Arab civilians, are the Mullahs and their extremist proxy militias.
Deplorable situation where Arab kids get killed by accident and settler kids get killed on purpose? What are you a fucking moron or do you relish the killing the Zionist entity engages in? Is firing a tank onto a school yard where boys are playing ball an "accident"? Is that your idea of it? Besides, those settlers hardly qualify as human. They are the scum of the earth and a threat to the rest of humanity.
Look at this and wallow in the pleasure of the killing, you disgusting shill:
Israeli attack kills nine Palestinians
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/171205.html
At least nine Palestinians, including four children, have been killed and dozens injured after an Israeli tank fired shots at a home in the Gaza Strip, medics reported.
Adham Abu Selmiya an emergency services spokesman said the deaths occurred when Israel "opened fire on young people who were playing football in Shejaiya on the eastern outskirts of Gaza City.
"do you relish the killing"
I absolutely hate it. Kids on both sides are equally precious and I swear to you I don't want to see any civilians harmed. I don't really know what to say when Israeli actions result in the deaths of Arab civilians except that I simply refuse to believe it's their official policy to intentionally harm them. That's absolute madness. Any Israelis who intentionally harm innocents should be punished like similarly guilty soldiers anywhere else.
"those settlers hardly qualify as human"
I don't say such things about the Palestinians, even after they commit inhuman murders. The murderers among them don't transfer their guilt to innocent Arab children.
I don't share the settlers' yearning to live on every inch of what was once ancient Israel, and neither do most Israelis. But they're certainly not "the scum of the earth". That distinction is reserved for fanatics who cut off hands, stone people to death, hang people because they're gay, murder their own daughters, rape female prisoners before they're to be executed, and slaughter anyone who converts to a different religion.
there is a strange dichotomy within the U.S. new media when reporting deaths of Palestinians and Israelis. When the family of five Israelis were killed, it was BREAKING NEWS on all TV chanels. Moreover, it was assumed that the family was murdered by a Palestinian. A few days later Israel murdered in the Gaza strip eight civilians, two of whom were young boys playing soccer in a nearby field, and badly wounded 13 other civilians. Evidently these murders by the Israelis are a usual occurrence, as there was no breaking news on TV nor headline reporting by the U.S. news media concerning Israeli murders.
"When the family of five Israelis were killed, it was BREAKING NEWS on all TV chanels."
Actually, the story was downplayed or even buried for a long time. Even on Fox News, it was only Glenn Beck who devoted some time to it. It was an unusually savage attack, reminiscent of the Manson murders. It was telling that coverage was so muted.
It seems both sides see "the media" as complicit with the opposing side. Who's right? Probably depends on which media orgs one pays attention to.
That’s bullsh-t and you know it. The media jumped on that bandwagon immediately and milked it to death. Not only that but Israel seized the opportunity to announce the illegal construction of a 500-unit settlement, 100 houses for every 1 of the dead scum. How convenient, eh? The best part is that, to date, they haven’t been able to prove that it was the Palestinians although they have raided towns, arrested scores of young men, beaten up civilians, attacked them, stolen from them. And do you know why? Because it wasn’t the Palestinians that did it. It’s obvious that those settlers are such scum that they screw everybody they come in contact with and it the crime was committed by foreign workers who were screwed by them.
(Edited.)
And yesterday, they fired from a tank into a school yard where boys were playing ball, murdering 4 of them. See, they're having a field day now slaughtering civilians because the eyes of the world are turned to Libya. This was, no doubt, a false flag in order to justify what they've been doing and to escalate the violence.

"they're having a field day now slaughtering civilians"
I think more and more people are beginning to see how distorted, self-serving, and hysterical accusations like this are. Boy, when Iran wants the Pavlov's Dogs of the world to salivate, they just sound that bell, and all you rabid mutts start drooling on cue!
You completely ignore the relentless shelling and rocketing coming from Gaza. What would the USA do if Mexico was shelling its citizens? What would any country do?
Howler monkeys like you are so blinded by savage hate, you can't see past the latest atrocity. Hamas is controlled by Iran, and Iran wants to ratchet up tensions with Israel. These incidents occur in that context, not because Israel is a big scary monster who likes to eat little Arab kids for breakfast. Grow up and wise up, fool.
Yet another murderous attack by Israel, that "Light" unto nations. According to other reports I've read, 5 children were among the dead.
Will the war-mongering Nobel peace prize winner Obama and the French marionette Sarkozy rush to impose a no-fly zone over Gaza?
I guess that all those rockets and suicide bombers sent into Israel never happened and are just a figment of Bibi's imagination.
I guess all those air raids against the civilian population of Gaza never happened and are just a figment of the world's imagination.
"Israel needs a good coalition air strike on it too for killing its innocent civilians"
Get this through your thick head: Hamas targets civilians. Israel targets combatants. But you think Israel is the one that should be bombed.
I realize it's hard for the prejudiced mind to think logically, but you really should make an effort to restrain the hysterics and think through what's going on over there. The attacks on Israeli civilians are designed to trigger a reprisal which in turn triggers precisely your kind of kneejerk reaction. It's possible that Syria coordinated today's Jerusalem bombing as a diversion from its own unrest. The Iran-Syria-Hezbollah-Hamas axis WANTS Israel to respond militarily, so dupes like yourself will scream for "a good coalition air strike" on their enemy Israel.
People like you play right into the hands of the evil despots and violent fanatics who plague the Middle East. Congratulations on your exquisite grasp of the situation.
Get this through your thick head: Hamas targets civilians. Israel targets combatants. But you think Israel is the one that should be bombed.
Is that so? In that case, better walk the Israel goons to The Hague for these ones:
Israeli fire kills 2 Palestinian teens

Bodies of two teenage Palestinians, with bullet holes in them, have been found in the southeast of Gaza City, Palestinian medics say.
Gaza report: 5 wounded in wave of Israel aerial strikes
Eyewitness report claiming that IAF jets launched 5 bombing attacks on the coastal Strip comes after Israel confirmed it had hit a smuggling tunnel near its border with Gaza.

Israeli attack kills 5 Palestinians
At least five Palestinians, including four children, have been killed and 20 wounded after an Israeli tank fired shots at a home in the Gaza Strip, medics reported.

One injured in Israel air attack on Gaza
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/171164.html
Israeli airstrikes injure 17 Palestinians http://www.presstv.ir/detail/171113.html
And that's just for starters. I could go on like that at least one for every day of the week. And they were all civilians, too. Which means Israel commits deliberate, consistent and wanton crimes against humanity on a daily basis. Israel is the biggest terrorist the world has ever known in the Middle East.
Dissolve the Zionist entity known as Israel already!
If the official state policy of Israel was to target civilians, Israel would have killed them all by now.
This tragic bloodshed occurs in the context of a coalition of medieval, violent fanatics who constantly work to cause Israel harm. If they laid down their arms, there would be no more bloodshed. If Israel laid down hers, there would be no more Israel. It's really that simple.
But since howler monkeys like to howl at the sight of blood, please don't let me interrupt your paroxysm of mindless, reactionary outrage.
"evil despots and violent fanatics"…. So you do agree with me.
Of course, that would be the reason why the Shin Bet blew up a bus stop today. False flag, false flag, false flag! Not only can they now justify building another 100 illegal dwellings for every one of them jews that dies but they can also go back into Gaza and blanket bomb it with depleted uranium and white phosphorous since the US was quick to replenish their stash after the Gaza massacre in 2008-2009.
Hey, Obomber! Wouldn't it be a perfect time no to impose a no fly zone over Gaza?
You're the certifiable maniac who claimed that the butchering of the settlers was also a "false flag". That must be your favorite phrase. You repeat it unthinkingly like a parrot.
lots of gnashing of teeth, rivers of tears & snot in isreal about the bomb, not a word about these 8 murdered. the sympathy well for the isrealies is dry
"not a word about these 8"
Meaningless hyperbole. That notwithstanding, do you expect Palestinians to grieve for murdered Israelis? Of course not. So why would you be shocked that Israelis are upset about their own butchered settlers and maimed bus passengers? You know where you can stick your double standard.
There's a difference between the deliberate slaughter of innocent people and the unintentional civilian casualties that result from a professional military responding to that deliberate slaughter.
INTENT means diddly-squat to people who share your agenda, but to anyone else with any powers of observation, it makes all the difference in the world, particularly when it comes to assigning blame for the ongoing bloodshed.
"the sympathy well for the isrealies is dry"
Like there was ever a drop to begin with.
