Atlanta Journal Constitution

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP)--Israeli helicopters fired two missiles in separate attacks on a Palestinian refugee camp on Wednesday, killing four people in a stepped-up campaign the army says is aimed at rooting out militants in the Gaza Strip.

Two unarmed teenage boys were among the dead, Palestinian officials said.

Palestinians said Israeli troops also demolished seven homes.

On Tuesday night, a helicopter strike in Gaza City killed two Palestinians and wounded 14, including a 2-year-old girl.

1. how brave to get in a helicopter and push buttons

slamming missiles on a crowd of civilians even though there's a 2 year old there.

How courageous.

[Herschel]

2. Wonderful news

Israel will never rest in defending herself.

[Resistance]

3. yeah right

Would it trouble you if someone were to say "Wonderful news" after a suicide bombing?

5. That would be immediately deleted.

Which is ironic, but the ones who see the Palestinians as animals have no problems with their own hypocrisy.

[Herschel]

6. Indeed

as it would any of us. Deliberate murder of innocents meets quick condemnation by all. Be glad.

[Resistance]

7. but

you just responded to this report by saying "wonderful news" - not a quick condemnation.

[Evil_Dewers]

8. Don't expect consistency.

10. Israel attacked terrorists

Which is indeed good news. If the Palestinians decided to do it, they would be in a better position to limit collateral damage.

11. If the Palestinians decided to do it, they would be in a better position

to limit collateral damage.


How's that? By leaving the West Bank and Gaza?

[Evil_Dewers]

12. Please name all the places in the West Bank and Gaza

and the divided city of Jerusalem that are safe from IDF attack...

*silence*

9. How is firing missiles into a refugee camp

defending yourself? And why do you consider the deaths of civilians to be "wonderful news?"

[Resistance]

13. The way I see it -

If firing missiles into refugee camps is self-defense, then so are suicide bombings. They can't have it both ways.

[Offshore Bush]

14. What do you think of the settlements?

I can understand your support of Israel's self-defense, but calling it "Wonderful news" is a bit extreme. I would say the bombing was unfortunately necessary, but not "Wonderful." I am curious as to what you think of the settlements and what should be done about them.

4. That two year old girl

must have been carrying a 10 kilo backpack bomb.
