NYT has a story from Gaza on the al-Samouni family who had fled to an apartment south of Gaza City which was struck by an Israeli shell -- killing seven members, including three children. In all: "Eleven members of the extended Samouni family were killed and 26
wounded, according to witnesses and hospital officials, with five
children age 4 and under among the dead. Hundreds of members of
the clan flooded in to Shifa Hospital, all from Zeitoun, many in shock.
Masouda al-Samouni, 20, lost her mother-in-law, her husband and her
10-month-old son. She said she had been preparing food for the baby
when the missile struck. 'He died hungry,' she said."

mortuary of Al-Shifa hospital, today. -- Greg Mitchell
Hamas should not be hiding behind the cover of their people. They want to destroy Israeli innocents, but hide when they must fight soldiers. Hamas wants high civilian casulaties. Its the only way they can get out of this mess. They will sacrifice their people to stay in power. Palestinian people are being used. I feel sorry for them.

Your hate and blame on the victims of occupation that have been under siege for the last 2 years where water, food and medicine among others have been denied the occupied indigenous population. It is disgusting and appaling the zionistic worldview you are spreading where the aggressors even when their crimes are revealed are claimed the victims.
You and hate buddies should be ashamed of yourself. You think you are helping israel by promoting the hate ideology of zionism?
