The consequences of WW2 made the Jews realise if the continued to submit to all atrocities committed against them since Roman times there wouldn't be any Jews left. So now they react to threats and attacks, and some condemn them for it. edit]And now the inhabitants of Gaza are attacking the Red Cross http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-28450436 |

That's like saying you'll let the redcoats return & burn down the White House! Will you let that happen? |

So now they react to threats and attacks, and some condemn them for it. It is obvious why they attacked. It was a red CROSS van, not a red CRESCENT van. |

The piece was not "compassionate". At least to the Jewish People in Israel, whom Hamas, and other Jihadist's, repeatedly state they wish to exterminate. And every day attempt to kill off another piece, rocket by rocket. |

A compassionate piece of writing by Gabor Maté in the Toronto Star.. Thank you Clyde for reading the article. I'm sorry that you didn't find the article compassionate. If people have no empathy for the slaughter taking place in Gaza, there is nothing I can really say about that. |

The consequences of WW2 made the Jews realise if the continued to submit to all atrocities committed against them since Roman times there wouldn't be any Jews left. So now they react to threats and attacks, and some condemn them for it. That is such black and white thinking. Its going from one extreme to the other. Not submitting to attacks does not automatically mean committing war crimes against a large group of people. And doing this is not exactly making them any new friends. |

So now they react to threats and attacks, and some condemn them for it. When you consider what the extreme was 70 years ago, it has swung that far. If it had then the West Bank and the Gaza Strip would most certainly be populated with different people today, if not since '67 then '73. |

Something else not "compassionate"...? http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2014/07/israeli-shells-hits-un-shelter-gaza-201472413198190287.html He said he could neither confirm nor deny that Hamas fighters were near the building, but said Israel and Hamas "must respect the inviolability of UN premises, and humanitarian law". Finally some truth and from an Arabic news source. |

Something else not "compassionate"...? As news channels go - Aljazeera is pretty good. Of course... I MIGHT be biased... because they don't ignore the continent of Africa like some do at times :) |

Protests turn deadly "Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal told the BBC he wants a ceasefire and end to Israel's blockade as soon as possible. "We don't want to be controlled by a border crossing that makes Gaza the biggest prison in the world," Mr Meshaal, who lives in exile in Qatar, told BBC Hardtalk." Why? What stunt did he pull? |

I MIGHT be biased... because they don't ignore the continent of Africa like some do at times :) I wonder what he & the UN would say if Israel went about this in a different way... ...pull the tanks & aircraft out & for every Hamas rocket that is launched, Israel launches one back, got to be a lot cheaper... ...their rockets would be a lot more effective! Just what would be the international outcry at that? |

http://time.com/3030301/gaza-school-israel-palestine-united-nations/ Nearly 750 Palestinians and at least 32 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the fighting, which intensified last week when Israel launched a ground operation to destroy tunnels used by Hamas to deploy a regular stream of rockets into Israel. Where will it end? :'( rOZZ Music Pictures |
