Loss of life in any setting is extremely sad, however, I have seen where time and time again the Palestinian Politicians point fingers at Israel when Israel responds to attacks from Palestine. Ambassador Mansour, I believe the ball is in your court, deal with your own insurgents and Israel won't have to. Quit chucking bombs at them and they will likely quit chucking bombs at you.
Sending missile after missile into Israel and whining when Israel returns fire is ridiculous to say the least. If you want them to leave you alone back off and work toward Peace stop being such a bunch of snivelers.

this is the most bias article i have ever read. this is not news, when you completely stretch the truth and make things up. According to this filth, "Israel launched an offensive against Hamas militants, killing the group’s military chief." Where in that line does it say that for the previous 24 hours, over 100 rockets were fired from hamas into CIVILIAN Israeli neighborhoods??? Israel has a right to protect themselves when civilians are being killed and injured Thank you for continuing to show the world how bias and anti-semetic the media is.

Few days ago more than 130 rockets landed in 72 hours on south Israel, and no Emergency Meeting was held. Where were everyone when Israel was blasted? No one cared...
