Israelis fire on crowds in Gaza

Israelis fire on crowds in Gaza

Israeli troops have opened fire during a protest by Palestinian demonstrators in the town of Rafah in southern Gaza.
At least 10 people were killed and 60 injured, though some reports put the number of casualties higher.

The army expressed deep sorrow for the loss of innocent life, but said tanks and a helicopter had fired warning shots to stop crowds entering the area.

US President George W Bush called for restraint from both sides and said he had asked Israel for "clarification".

"It is essential that people respect innocent life in order for us to achieve peace," he said.

But Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat called for international observers to protect his people, describing the events in Rafah as "atrocious crimes".

Rafah in shock
Gaza: Occupation and anger

Reuters news agency quoted the UN special human rights envoy in the Palestinian territories, John Dugard, as saying that the strikes were "war crimes" and amounted to collective punishment violating humanitarian and international human rights law.

The Israeli military said it was too early to say exactly what had happened, although it suggested that explosives laid by Palestinians could have been responsible.

Army spokeswoman Brigadier General Ruth Yaron said that Israeli forces had fired warning shots after seeing "armed men in the midst of the demonstration".

"Tank shells were fired at [an abandoned] structure, at no point in the direction of the demonstrators," she said, although she admitted that it was possible that there may have been "casualties as a result of the tank shells".

"We regret the loss of innocent life and are offering to treat those who are injured in our hospitals," she added.

How can the US not condem this? It's not like it was a 'targetted assasination attempt' or an act of self-defence

UN passed a resolution condemning the murder of civilans and destruction of their homes, US abstained.

Same as it ever was.

But remember, Bush believes in "freedom"...

... about as much as he acts within the teachings of Christ.


--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

How can the US not condem this?
Because if they did, they'd be condemning their own actions in Iraq :wink:

More like we'd be condemning the actions of our closest ally during an election year.

It is sad that the same people that find this so wrong and awful don't have any issue at all with the people that brainwash children into strapping bombs onto their bodies, walking into public places, and killing as many innocent civilians as they can while going out in a blaze of glory.

One side wears a uniform, therefore it is a war crime?

I'm not defending one side or the other... both of them are equally wrong in what they are doing to each other... and neither of them seem to want peace.

What people are you referring to? I've never met anyone who says they support suicide bombers.

I think they are equally wrong, but I don't see why it should be necessary to always criticise both sides in every sentance.

How dare you condem both sides of the Israeli-Palestine conflict without condeming massacres by religious militants in Sudan! You must be a supporter of mass rape and murders :mad2: :rolleyes:

depends on who you're talking to.

In England I believe "Million" means 1,000,000,000 and "billion" means 1,000,000.

Maybe some dirty limey would like to confirm or deny this.

no a million means 1,000,000 and always has. A billion used to mean 1,000,000,000,000 but you yankees couldn't cope with that so you chopped off 3 zeros and forced it back down our throats - now only a few people use it like that and it's mostly regarded as old fashioned. 1,000,000,000 used to be a "milliard" but I guess thats too French-sounding  :tongue:

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

They did in a more subtle manner. By abstaining from the vote the resolution was able to pass.
