DUPE Israeli Forces Kill 10 Protesters in Gaza
Edited on Wed May-19-04 09:28 AM by CharlesGroce

<snip>
Israeli forces fired a missile and a tank shell Wednesday into a large crowd of Palestinians demonstrating against the invasion of a neighboring refugee camp, witnesses said. At least 10 Palestinians were killed, all of them children and teenagers, a Palestinian health official said.

At least 50 people were wounded, 36 of them critically, Palestinian hospital officials said.

Palestinian witnesses saw a missile land in the middle of the crowd of 3,000 demonstrators, and Associated Press Television Network footage showed smoke and debris flying as a large explosion rocked the area. The footage then showed Palestinians carrying the wounded, including children, from the smoky scene.

The Israelis treat these people like dogs. I wish the 150,000 or so people who protested in Tel Aviv a few days ago against the war against the Palestinian people would rise up and take over. I guess I wish that we could do the same here, but I can't even convince people here who openly admit the war in Iraq is wrong to VOTE AGAINST THE WAR this November, I guess the political situation over in Israel is equally as diseased. Real people die because of this attitude.
