No doubt Hamas is to blame for the deaths of these people or for the fact their children had to huddle around their dead parent's corpses for days, starving to death whilst Israeli soldiers prevented international medical agencies from entering to check for survivors....

the inhumanity of it is truly sickening.

Israel accused over Gaza wounded

The Red Cross has accused Israel of failing to fulfil its obligation to help wounded civilians in Gaza.

ICRC staff found four weak and scared children beside their mothers' bodies in houses hit by shelling in Zeitoun.


Thursday's Israeli bombardment was the heaviest so far

The Israeli military has not yet responded to the accusation, but said it worked closely with aid groups so that civilians could get assistance.

Meanwhile, the United Nations said it was suspending aid operations in Gaza because of the danger to its staff.

"Unwra decided to suspend all its operations in the Gaza Strip because of the increasing hostile actions against its premises and personnel," a UN spokesman was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.

On Thursday, the UN relief agency Unwra said one person had been killed and two injured when a fork-lift truck on a UN aid mission came under Israeli tank fire at Gaza's Erez crossing.

The Israeli army says it is looking into the matter.

The aid agencies' concerns come amid fears the conflict with Gaza militants may spread, with rockets fired on Israel from Lebanon.

At least three rockets were fired into northern Israel, prompting Israel to reply with artillery.

The incident followed Israel's heaviest bombardment so far on Gaza in nearly two weeks of conflict, with 60 air strikes targeting Hamas facilities.

Israeli forces observed a three-hour pause in fighting to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

The first of what was promised to be a daily ceasefire - on Wednesday - allowed aid agencies into the territory for the first time in days.

Efforts have continued to broker a full ceasefire - a senior Israeli official is in Cairo to hear details of a plan put forward by Egypt and France.

A Hamas delegation is expected in the Egyptian capital at some stage for parallel "technical" talks, Egyptian diplomats said.

'Access denied'

The International Committee of the Red Cross accused Israel of failing in its international obligations after its staff were met with "shocking" scenes.

One medical team found 12 bodies in a shelled house, and alongside them four very young children, too weak to stand, waiting by their dead mothers, the ICRC said.

Aid workers had been denied access to the site for days, it added.

"This is a shocking incident," Pierre Wettach, ICRC head for Israel and the Palestinian territories said in a statement.

"The Israeli military must have been aware of the situation but did not assist the wounded. Neither did they make it possible for us or the Palestinian Red Crescent to assist the wounded."

Correspondents say the criticism is unusually strong, coming from an agency considered to be neutral.

The Israeli army told Reuters news agency that any serious allegations would be properly investigated once a formal complaint was received.

Meanwhile, Amnesty International accused both sides of using civilians as human shields.

"Israeli soldiers have entered and taken up positions in a number of Palestinian homes, forcing families to stay in a ground floor room while they use the rest of their house as a military base and sniper position," it said in a statement.

While Palestinian families reported that in some cases Palestinian gunmen agreed to leave areas near civilian homes without firing at Israeli forces, the statement went on, "in other cases they have refused the residents' requests and only left after firing".

Nursing home

At least three Katyusha rockets were fired from southern Lebanon into the northern Israeli area of Nahariya early on Thursday.

Apparently the rockets are still being fired.

She? do you mean the little children huddled around their dead parents?

ISLAM is a death cult.

Dying in the cause of Allah is , by all devout muslims.

Hamas [ISLAM] children to aspire to become suicide bombers, or 'martyrs'.

You may not like this information being exposed.

But it is the TRUTH about what ISLAM's aims are, and about how those aims may 'legitimately' be pursued by devout muslims.

ISLAM wants 'innocent' victims, which it can display to 'shame' its enemy,
....while at the same time ISLAM wants, and encourages its own confederates to become those 'martyrs',  for 'the cause of Allah'.
....that is the duality of ISLAM.
....to portray itself as the victim of the violence of 'unbelievers', while at the very same time it is warring mercilessly, against its 'enemies'.


The cause of Allah, the obligation upon all muslims, is to impose Sharia, upon 'unbelief' [all remaining non-muslims].

And that is what ISLAM teaches, to its children.

Use children as troops, says cleric
By Luke McIlveen and staff writers
January 18, 2007
SYDNEY'S most influential radical Muslim cleric has been caught on film calling Jews pigs and urging children to die for Allah.
.........Sheik Feiz says in the video.
"We want to have children and offer them as soldiers defending Islam. Teach them this: There is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a mujahid (holy warrior). Put in their soft, tender hearts the zeal of jihad and a love of martyrdom."

The cause of Allah,  is also known as the JIHAD.

The Hadith...


http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/002.sbt.html#001.0...





The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdel Aziz al-Sheikh is the ISLAMIC equivalent of 'The Archbishop of Canterbury' in Saudi Arabia.

And this is what he had to say about Jihad (religious fighting), and when it is justified ['sanctified' by ISLAM]...


http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20460114-601,00.html

Sure, Yadda yadda yadda - Denounce all you can. Born again Christianity has also been described as a Dealth Cult by a certain Catholic Archbishop. That's just what we need - more religious hot air to keep the fires of war burning.

What we have in the Middle East is stupidity weakness and cowardice on both sides. True bravery would be to look at the situation objectively, especially looking at ways in which to stop the slaughter, not perpetuate it.

I don't take sides, but it is stupid and cowardly to kill innocent people on both sides. Every time it's somebody's mother, father, son, daughter. The whole violent process brings out the worst of human emotions - those of revenge , hatred and retribution.

The sad thing is that neither side has the balls or maturity to stop it, and they must wait for an outside party to mediate. It's an example of humanity at its worst, and the fighting needs to stop.

muso,

I agree with a lot of what you are saying here.

But still, many people such as yourself, will not admit the essential TRUTH,
....that ISLAM is a death cult.

More evidence to support that claim, is here,

"Israeli treatment of Palestinians"

mantra,

I saw your thread,
"Jewish terrorist gangs worse than Hamas"
http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1231387548/0#0

And i condemn those ppl, those Jews, who were involved in those violent acts of terrorism.



Quote:


mantra,

While people in nationas such as Australia, will not face up to, and continue to deny the TRUTH, there will be no peace, or hope of peace - for any of us.

Whether we like it or not, whether we will admit it or not, ISLAM is incompatible, with our own culture.



If we truly want a solution to the 'problem' of ISLAM,
....the solution will begin, can begin, when we seek the TRUTH about what ISLAM really is, and what it allows, and why.

Until then it is war, never-ending until ISLAM wins.

There Can Be No End to Jihad'

What can we positively do?

If we really want to survive this evil [which ISLAM is], we must decide to separate ourselves from this evil.

We must choose to separate ourselves from ISLAM.

How?

We can afford to let the people, the nominal 'muslims' who are prepared to denounce, and deny ISLAM, live among us.

But we must remove ISLAM, from among us.

It should be our governments policy,

• to destroy all mosques,
• deport all imam's,
• and to deport any [and every] person who claims to practice, and follow, the political philosophy called, ISLAM.

That is the only solution for ourselves, in the West.

Will it happen???

No.

Why?

There are too many 'bleeding hearts', who HATE THE TRUTH.iDON'T BE DUPED BY ISLAM'S LIES! [about itself]

ISLAM is not a 'religion'.

ISLAM is not a 'religion', in the sense that non-muslims understand the word, 'religion'.

ISLAM hides behind, what it calls a religion, in its approach to 'unbelievers', ISLAM hides behind its 'veil'.

But ISLAM is not a 'religion'.

ISLAM is a political tyranny.

ISLAM, is pure evil, which is revealed in its 'religious' texts, its doctrines, and its 'religious' practices.

ISLAM is a political philosophy, ISLAM is not a 'religion' [by any standard of the word, used by us, non-muslims].i
