Palestinians: IDF shell kills at least two in northern Gaza
<snip>

"An Israel Defense Forces shell landed near a crowd of people in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, killing at least two people, Palestinian witnesses said."

<snip>

"Earlier Monday, an Israel Air Force helicopter fired a missile at a two-story house at the entrance to the Shati refugee camp next to Gaza City, causing damage but no casualties, Palestinians said.

The house belongs to a Hamas activist. The military said the target was a storage facility for rockets and weapons of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Minutes later, an IDF tank shell exploded next to a small hospital in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, breaking windows, hospital officials said. No one was hurt.

This was the first time the IDF had targeted a private house in Lebanon, indicating that its offensive there has begun to apply its "Lebanon measures" on the Gaza Strip."

1. There is something I don't understand

Apparently is is alright for the Israeli to lob rockets and shells at will into Gaza -- and they claim it is to exterminate Hamas -- but oops the shells hit NEXT to a hospital -- oops hit children playing or swimming.

How is this NOT terrorism??? how is constant fear of perhaps a shell from an Israel tank or what ever supposed to any different than fear of a Hizbolla shell????

FRom reports Gaza has very little infrastructure left -- all targets have been hit repeatedly. The UN tells us that this a humanitarian crisis in the making. But few people seem to care -- oh well just a few more Arabs will die -- who cares -- they dress funny anyway. They're not like us.

There is more to this than Israeli hatred for Hamas -- this violence is all out of proportion with sanity and reason.

I just don't understand this sort of violence -- justified by sane rational people.

It seems to me the message to the Palestinians is to leave and NEVER COME BACK.

THEN ... would the Israelis be happy and stop trying to kill children3en -- because that's often the victim of the random acts of violence by the Israeli. I just don't understand this sort of extreme hatred -- it is beyond my understanding.

Children throw rocks and they get shot in the head by Israeli soldiers -- I guess this is what started me asking -- WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING -- What are the real motives for this sort of hatred?

I just don't comprehend ....

Right now I really really dislike bushie -- but I don't want to see him harmed or injured. I can't really think of anyone that enrages me to the point that I want them dead --

I don't understand this sort of vengeance -- slaughter and killing and death.

What are the motives for endless killing in Gaza?? Rockets after Rockets after rockets -- killing and killing for the sake of killing to terrorize everyone who lives in Gaza -- THIS is the only motive I can come up with.

I don't understand -- blood feuds -- two pit bulls fighting to the death sort of hatred some people have for each other.

I am sick and tired of all this killing -- and no I don't support one side over the other.
