| U.S. calls shelling outside U.N. school in Gaza 'disgraceful' |
| 2014-08-04 |
| [Al Ahram] The United States criticized the "disgraceful shelling" at a U.N. school in Gazoo on Sunday and urged Israel to do more to prevent civilian casualties in its war against Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, fighters. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki also called for an investigation into recent attacks on U.N. schools. "The United States is appalled by today's disgraceful shelling outside an UNRWA school in Rafah sheltering some 3,000 displaced persons, in which at least ten more Paleostinians were tragically killed," Psaki said in a statement. The corpse count from Israel's three-week military campaign on Gazoo has reached 1,766 Paleostinians according to medics. The United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... says more than 80 percent of that number was civilians, including 329 children. |

| #6 ....shelling OUTSIDE a UN school... If this is the story I think it is, the Israelis attacked a group of jihadis on motorbikes *outside* the school. (not clear whether the "shelling" was actually arty fire or a missile from the air) People inside a gate, but clustered around it, were hit. It was not an attack on the school itself. |

| #5 Israel needs to bomb Gaza back to the Stone age (and NOT concrete - rock only), and screw what the rest of the world thinks. |

| #4 Targeting UN schools in Israel? Why not target the UN? They are no friends of Israel or the U.S. |

| #3 By holding Israel responsible they are giving a free pass to Palestinian war crimes. This is sick. |

| #2 Using school grounds as launching pad is OK though? |

| #1 Oh, blow it out your a**, Jen (and the "US"). Just for fun - having long ago given up on the US and most of the world to be competent, or morally clear-headed - couldn't some native English-speaking Israeli official just do a brutal, fact-based beat-down on this kind of idiotic moral inversion? |
