Refutes the main propaganda points being given daily. Worth reading, sober, well reasoned, and does not spare where Hamas has committed war crimes either.

Interesting how Gaza has a border with Egypt that is locked up tigher than a drum. Perhaps the Egyptians don't want these crazies in their country either?

Doesn't Israel claim to use precision bombing? How can they then bomb hospitals, schools, universities, ambulances, mobile hospitals, UN buildings etc? All by accident? As in oops? So many times?

Israel uses human shields. During the 2002 massacre in Jenin refugee camp, residents were used as ‘human shields’ by Israeli soldiers. They were forced at gunpoint to lead the way into homes, opening doors which the soldiers thought might be booby-trapped.

Israeli soldiers have used Palestinian children as young as 11 as human shields during an Israeli military invasion of Nablus in March 2007.

13 year-old Mohammad Badwan was tied by the arm to an Israeli military jeep in Biddo in April 2004.

Great point about "precision bombing" while civilians pay the heavy price in blood.

To Coloradoright, just who bombed the tunnels to block exit from Gaza to Egypt? Israel.

Here comes part 2, reviving the Lebanon conflict. We knew this was coming. Israel is moving quickly toward their political elections, and a new US administration, to force continuance of middle east wars toward their (neoconservative) goals, with US support.

Will Syria be next, Part 3?

Part 4: Iran. Israel is still chomping at the bit and is desperate to be *allowed* to attack Iran because of the nuclear issue. They are just looking for an excuse. I wouldn't be surprised if they beef up trying to drag Iran into the whole mess by blaming them for the crisis, too.

Iran is one of the strongest supporters of Hamas.

It is regularly accused by Israel of providing the group [ the Palestinians] with arms, training, and money, something Tehran never admits to, but makes little effort to deny.
