    Yep. Nazi doctors measuring noses to look for Jews. Meant to stick a note in the post, apologies.

    More than 60 Palestinian children killed so far in Gaza out of a death toll of nearly 300 people, most of them civilians.

    (Warning: distressing scenes)

    http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/middle-east-unrest/innocent-gone-israeli-strike-gaza-kills-four-children-n157301

    I watched this earlier tonight and I actually fcuking cried. Because it's devastating and inexplicable and wrong, wrong, wrong, I just don't get it for a single second. I don't want to get it. And it will continue indefinitely.

    NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin has been doing some eye-opening reporting from Gaza for the last week, his tweets and instagrams have been so close to the bone that there's been by all accounts a considerable security issue for the team on the ground - who have been evacuated since he witnessed the deaths of those four Palestinian boys. He kicked a soccer ball around with them minutes before they were killed.

    His instagram pictures from Gaza are heartbreaking

    ^ In relation to Israel, I found this picture on wikipedia last night which to see it laid out like this, surprised me - pretty much all of the English-speaking world is in support of Israel. Although thinking about the foreign policies of some of them, I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise at all.

    Should all the Grey ones not be green (presumably they've said nothing?)?

    3 children killed with their grandfather on Flight MH17.
    Mo Maslin, 12, his 10-year-old sister Evie, and eight-year-old brother Otis.

    I don't know how a person could continue on after such a loss.

    All the represented EU countries abstained. So much for hopes of taking a leadership role in our own backyard as the US focuses on the Pacific. :rolleyes:

    Last warning before infractions and bans start being handed out. No more chat about Israel/Palestine. There are numerous forums on Boards discussing that topic. This is not one of them.

    A global guide to the first world war - interactive documentary
    Ten historians from 10 countries give a brief history of the first world war through a global lens. Using original news reports, interactive maps and rarely-seen footage, including extraordinary scenes of troops crossing Mesopotamia on camels and Italian soldiers fighting high up in the Alps, the half-hour film explores the war and its effects from many different perspectives. You can watch the documentary in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Arabic or Hindi thanks to our partnership with the British Academy.

    Crucifixion of 8 Christians by the ISIS terrorists in Syria and Christian girl beheaded in Northern Iraq!
    The gruesome nature of the killings are often paraded to the media & public for intimidation!

    Mod note - After discussion with the other mods we have deleted one of the pics posted of the little Iraqi girl. It was a valid picture for posting so no issue with peaceboi but we felt it was too much for this forum. Personally speaking I wish I had not seen it. Any questions/concerns please pm me or one of the other mods

    Gaza today:

    A series of explosions rather than one big one.

    Hard to believe that is real.

    An inbound missile, probably a fraction of a second before it hit its target. A drone looks like a miniature 747 with some extra fins on it for stability.

    @Bazmo:

    Do you mind putting the link where you got that pic?

    I have no doubt the IDF are using paveway LGBs in built up urban areas but given the speed at which it would be falling (no blur) and the apparent proximity to the impact site the photographer would have been at (seems unlikely neither the photographer nor camera would survive), I have my doubts that this photo is real.
