    Since so few people in America seem to give a damn about Gaza, I present the following news from the BBC:

    Gaza death toll over 1,000 - Israeli toll up to 42

    The death toll in Gaza has passed 1,000, Palestinian medical officials say, 19 days after Israel launched an offensive against Hamas militants.

    It comes amid a 12-hour humanitarian truce, which Gaza residents have been using to gather essential supplies and retrieve bodies buried under rubble.

    Forty-two Israelis have also been killed since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on 8 July.

    May their souls rest in peace. May whatever gods they believe in look after their souls.

    This is the way it always turns out .. Israel kills thousands rather than pursue criminal prosecution of a few.

    This is the way it always turns out, the cowards of allah hide behind their women and children, even HIDING ROCKETS IN SCHOOLS, to try to maximize civilian casualties, so that the islamapologists can do the obligatory wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    Women and children flee violence and seek sanctuary in mosques, schools and hospitals like people have always done.. Like the Jews fled Europe from Hitler's violence and murderous intentions.

    What is the problem here? Don't shoot rockets in to Israel and you don't die. Kind of simple really.

    - - - Updated - - -

    How does that justify Hamas using women and children as human shields?

    You are saying.. If you resist we will kill you all.

    Think about it.. That was Hitler's tactic when he issued the Nuremberg Laws.

    When combatants use civilians as human shields, the collateral damage usually goes up.

    Israel warns the civilians of Gaza days ahead of time that they will attack, unlike the cowards of allah, and their WW2 ALLIES, the nazis who attacked the Jews.

    No, what I am saying is don't shoot rockets in Israel and they will not wipe you out. Hamas puts women and children in harms way on purpose, weapons in schools, hospitals, ambulances, etc, etc. Nice trying compare Hitler to the Israel's. If they wanted to, Israel could wipe out Gaza. In fact I think they should. For almost 10 years, Israel has had rockets fired at them form Gaza. But Israel is to blame for taking action.

    Don't even bother trying to explain things. All people see is that they hate Israel and Israel is the bad guy for everything. Even though Israel has tried to get peace several times. But Gaza will not have it.

    So the Israel's are supposed to let their death count catch up by not defending themselves against the attacks by Hamas? They should be required to place their citizens at military targets as Hamas requires their citizens and not allow them into shelters as Hamas does not their citizens?

    Do you realize how absurd that is?

    Hamas places their rocket launchers in such places and does not allow their citizens to seek shelter in underground bunkers so they can gin up civilian casualties and you fall for it.

    LOL. Okaaaay. Stop firing rockets into our country. If you don't we will do everything to destroy said rockets.

    This somehow equates to the Nuremburg Laws? The Nazis are the ones firing the rockets.

    You'll notice the moniker socialism works. Yes that's exactly how they think. Misery must be equally shared by force in order to have a benevolent society.

    Iron Dome is the root cause of thi disparity. You must insist for Israel to give it up!

    Surely there's some way of destroying the rockets without killing 1000 civilians. Drones maybe?

    Heck, just get it over with and invade by ground. All this (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)farting around is so tedious. Are you at war or are you not, make a decision and stick to it. If you're at war you don't hold off ending the war - you finish it as quickly and bloodlessly as possible.

    I hardly think bombing schools and churches til kingdom come is the solution.

    Thank God for the unbelievable restraint! A hospital or two, seventy five UN buildings, 1,000 random dead including 200 plus children, Lucky they're so caring and careful!

    I seriously doubt there are any churches in Gaza.

    Sadly, you're neither careful nor caring. What part of "quit firing missiles into Israel" do you not understand? Which part of "quit sending squads to kill civilians in Israel" is too complex for you to grasp?

    You can blame Hamas for that. They're the people who are putting missiles under hospitals, schools, homes, etc.

    This is exactly what Hamas wants. They want as many civilians as possible to die so that they can make Israel look bad.

    Yes but they are hiding rockets there according to Israels media friends stateside (needless to say no film or photographs of the alleged UN workers with these objects but it might be difficult to photoshop) but an 'Israeli spokesman' said it so it must be true . They have a cover story prepped for any eventuality so that the Palestinians can keep being killed. These glorified fireworks are being used as the excuse but the reality is the siege wasn't working fast enough so maybe ratcheting up this terror will get them out more quickly :(
