Gaza's 96 Dead Include Farmers, Water Sellers And The Girl Next Door

Farmers on their way to sell vegetables in the marketplace, vendors of purified drinking water and people who just happened to live too close to the targets of Israeli air strikes were among the 34 Palestinians estimated to have been killed in Israel Defense Forces attacks in the past two days alone.

Just six of those casualties have been confirmed as members of militant groups.

Among the Palestinians killed in Gaza this week are the 12 members of the Daloo and Manzar families, including four small children, who died when an Israel Air Force pilot bombed their home by mistake, according to the IDF.

Between 94 and 96 Palestinians are estimated to have been killed between the beginning of Operation Pillar of Defense and 6 P.M. yesterday, at least 58 of them civilians and at least 18 of them children.

In stark contrast with the lies and deceit surrounding the HUNDREDS of thousands the USA has killed in the last few years.

Try to find the names, ages, occupations or admissions of innocence for the Iraqis, Pakistanis, Afghanis, Yemeni killed recently.
