#1 "The hospitals are completely overwhelmed," Gunness said. "For months there has been a strangulation of supplies."

You mean the tunnels weren't being used to smuggle in medical supplies?

#2 "It is a tragic illustration of what happens when you use massive means against a densely populated part of the world,"
The videos I've watched all looked like highly precise strikes.

#3 "It is a tragic illustration of what happens when you use massive means against a densely populated part of the world,"...intentionally used as human shields in violation of international conventions.

#4 Civ casualties are the responsibility the ones who hide among the civs. Don't want to die? Leave.

#5 I saw some footage of the casualties being rolled around on gurneys, and they were suspiciously dark green for having just been killed. I also recall that the Paleos think nothing of keeping the bodies of women and children in cold storage so they can be paraded in front of the media on just such an occasion as this. My point is even the casualty figures for women and children that may be substantiated by actual bodies are likely fictional or at least exaggerated.

#6 This POS, and all UN "human rights" employees, needs to say hello to an axehandle to the bridge of his nose. These people are part of the problem, not part of the solution. The UNHCR doesn't want to end the "palestinian" problem, because they'd all be out of their cushy, high-paid, no-risk jobs. Hamass is responsible for everything that has happened to Gaza. Quit blaming Israel for doing everything possible to keep their people alive and healthy against constant attacks from the "palestinians".

#7 Actually, the TV of the Palestinian authority is blaming Hamas (look at
http://barcepundit.blogspot.com/2008/12/que-por-qu-la-situacin-en-gaza-es-ms.html) and allegedly the people of the PA are handling information tp the Israelis.

It is the people of western MSM who shed tears on the Hamas.

#8 But Israel called everyone in Gaza on their cell phones to warn them to stay away from Hamas properties. Those that chose to ignore that personal warning have only themselves to blame.

#9 Hello, Hello, Hello.... residents of Gaza. Those Hamas grids you gave us, vehicles, foot-traffic, high-value targets.... yes, tomorrow is the day. We'll be in touch!
