Seven people, including three children, died on Friday when Israeli shells hit a beach in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials say.

There was no immediate comment from Hamas's political wing, which runs the Palestinian Authority.

...

An Israeli army spokesman said Chief of Staff Dan Halutz had ordered an immediate stop to all artillery shelling of Gaza while an investigation was carried out into the beach shelling.

Erm, wtf?

Just another happy day in Palestein

[karajorma]

Pretty much. Israel has been shelling them constantly.

[Mefustae]

Wait, I thought Israel was claiming to be the "good guy" in this whole s***ty conflict.

[Sarafan]

Damn palestinians, always triyng to blow up our sand castles.








Sorry.......

[Mars]

I'm not saying either side is entirely right or wrong, I'm just saying that the whole thing is fubar

[Turnsky]

she sells sea shells by the sea shore?

 


seriously, this reeks of bad intel, a miscalculation, as it were.

Wait, I thought Israel was claiming to be the "good guy" in this whole s***ty conflict.

One is a bit more aggressive... I would be 100% totally surprised if this beach shelling was on purpose. It smells of a total accident.

[neoterran]

they wouldn't have been shelling the beach if palestinians hadn't been launching rocket attacks from that area, now would they ?

[karajorma]

And the palestinians wouldn't be launching rocket attacks if the Israelis hadn't invaded their country and kicked them off their land. IF you want to play the who's to blame game you can trace it back thousands of years and still end up with the fact that they're both to blame.

[Flipside]

The Rocket attacks were in response to the shelling iirc?

[karajorma]

Yep. It's a whole big vicious cycle.

[Turambar]

but i've come to the conclusion that the israelis are worse.

[NGTM-1R]

There is no worse. At least the Israelis are organized about it.

[achtung]

Well, if the end of the world rests on peace between Israel and Pakistan.  We're going to be around forever.

They're like the arch-enemies that are actually friends with one another, but just fight because they feel obligated.

lol, israel and pakistan

a common mistake.

one reason i dont like israel is because its the christians who are backing them, and i don't like the christians

[Mars]

Haven't we been down this road before?


Doesn't matter cause I think I gave up on the existance of God.

[TrashMan]

There is no worse. At least the Israelis are organized about it.

If you ask me that is worse.

[Ferret]

I find I'm more biased towards Israel, I think that's because they're way more sane than the Palestinians. I mean let's face it, Ahmadinejad is a ****ing psychopath.
They both irrationally hate each other though. They need to build a huge wall.
