    BTW - anyone found any peaceful Palestinians calling for peace and a ceasefire yet?

    Are you serious just google palestinian peace protests, Im pretty sure there are a few on around Ireland aswell.

    Sorry if the people in Gaza are a bit too scared to congregate in 1 place.

    Can I ask a very basic question here... Are you actually in Israel and if so, have you had rockets flying at you?

    I'm Irish, you can find me at Sandymount beach later today if it's still sunny in the evening:)
    I've already said - I have family in Israel.

    They said a sniper hit the guy. Snipers use sniper rifles.

    New York Times article earlier in the thread.

    They didn't verify anything - they just quoted Palestinian sources on the ground.

    Oh yeah all of these are the same I see, no difference in any of these.

    same barrel length, same ammo, same range...

    And the Palestinians never faked such footage, using wonderful acting skills?
    Please don't say "no" because It would be too easy to find the examples and I really have to get some work done before I go home today.
    All there is to this story so far:
    A video which some say is fake (looks fake to me).
    Palestinian testimonies from the people that were there.

    Knowledge of some basic human Psychology can help here.
    This is a well known psychological defence mechanism in times of danger and fear - using humour to help you stay strong and get through the hard times.

    And the (.......)there.

    It's been verified. I've shown that far far worse has happened previously. In the midst of so many dead, theres nothing even vaguely implausible about the footage. The only reason theres such desperation to debunk the footage of this single individual, is because there's no footage of the other deaths, which become just numbers.

    Did you know the IDF has veto on all footage shot in the OT that can be shown by Israeli news? They understand the power of the image, over the written word.

    Shelling 'kills 15 in Gaza shelter' - BBC News



    There are two possibilities IMO.
    1. The IDF knew they were aiming at a shelter for civilians, in which case, they intentionally murdered civilians.
    2. The IDF didn't know what they were hitting. Therefore, they are negligent and guilty of slaughtering at least 15 people in this case.

    Either option is worthy of scorn IMO.

    +1

    The silence from the apologists in response this post is deafening. No doubt someone will tell us that Palestine has murdered its own people in this case.

    If I recall correctly the Israelis use only 2 or 3 types, all extremely powerful.

    Im sure if the people of Gaza weren afraid for their lives they would be out protesting for peace

    Hamas didn't build any. They went for terror tunnels instead.

    So you have no clue what a sniper rifle is, what caliber it is or what it is called or looks like?

    Not all of Gaza is under attack. There are Palestinians in the west bank also, what about the Arab world?

    It would not have happened if Hamas were not foolishly and selfishly attacking Israelis at the expense of their people's lives.

    No. That's exactly what they did - spend billions donated by the EU & the US on arming themselves and on building tunnels.

    Answer this Nodin - where is all the money?
    As we all know - Gaza is a very small place which received countless billions over the years.
    Where is all that money? What was it spent on?

    Peaceful protests one of which only turned violent when the Israeli army decided to get involved.

    So it's the Palestinian kids fault that they are being murdered by the Israeli killing machine?

    Some people just like to have all the possible facts from all the possible sources before deciding. It's called "not jumping the gun". Remember Jenin?
