The Palestinains are responsible for deaths of their civilians if the allow Hamas to hide amongst their woman and children sobeit.. If I was hiding thugs and murderers in my house form the Cops I should be held responsible for any deaths caused by the COps ..The Palestinian plight is self inflicted the Jews left Gaza in 2005 and the siege is only becuase Palestinians are addicted to violence and cant help them selves sending rockets and bombs across the border..

There are many Israelis who do the same thing and they should not be accused of anti-Semitism.<BR/><BR/>But Rhodes criticises Israel and then claims she is "ashamed to be Jewish". Well, if she's not being anti-Semitic in her attack on what Israel's doing, then why does she have to refer to her Jewishness?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32508350.post-13048766136108472192009-01-26T09:23:00.000+11:002009-01-26T09:23:00.000+11:00There are more questions raised about the Abed Rab...There are more questions raised about the Abed Rabbo deaths in Israellycool - http://www.israellycool.com/.<BR/><BR/>Aussie Dave compares the family's version as given in the SMH (and the Age) with the one in Britain's Independent and comes up with a number of points worthy of looking at (and that's before the Israeli investigation is undertaken). Summarised, they are:-<BR/><BR/>* different versions as to when the grandmother was shot and whether she was waving a white headscarf or flag;<BR/><BR/>* different versions as to the number of times the children were allegedly shot (between 3 and 12times;<BR/> <BR/>* the omission in the Independent report of the relevant fact relating to when Sammer was allegedly shot - "running bunning back up the steps toward the house.";<BR/><BR/>* according to the SMH, the grandmother was shot three times, with bullets passing through her upper arm and her torso underneath her rib cage, and another being lodged in her abdomen. How did the soldier who was allegedly aiming at the family fail to kill her and why in the accompanying photo does she looks as if she has nothing more than an arm wound?;<BR/><BR/>* in the SMH version, the soldiers dragged the family into the house, but in the Independent version, the soldiers let them alone;<BR/><BR/>* in the SMH version, there was no delay in finding an ambulance, since one of the neighbors was an ambulance driver, yet in the Independent version, there was a delay before an ambulance could reach the building "because the road from the west had been made impassable by the churning of the tanks" - and even then, the family only got to an ambulance after a 2 km walk;<BR/><BR/>* in the SMH version, the ambulance driver complained that he was prevented from getting to the hospital by IDF soldiers, resulting in the family walking there on foot, yet the Independent version makes no mention of this, and in fact makes it sound like the ambulance did make it to the hospital;<BR/><BR/>* in the Independent version, the father was able to see ringlets visible below the soldier's helmet (to show he was an orthodox Jew) - this despite trying to avoid being hit by bullets; <BR/><BR/>* How is it even possible, given (as the Independent actually mentions) "the small minority of ultra-Orthodox Jews who serve in the army are in a unit which did not take part in the Gaza offensive and only a very small number of settlers who also favour that hairstyle serve in other units"? <BR/><BR/>The story of the children is a tragedy but the bullshit meter is running high on this one.<BR/><BR/>Bring on the enquiry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32508350.post-45127949101832921302009-01-24T22:50:00.000+11:002009-01-24T22:50:00.000+11:00The Jew who is ashamed to be a Jew is Kate Rhodes,...The Jew who is ashamed to be a Jew is Kate Rhodes, an American-Jewish educator.

Why?<BR/><BR/>Certainly not for their safety. Kadima was very proud to boast 'precision' attacks in Gaza, although some of their own footage casts doubt on this.<BR/><BR/>I am proud to be a Jew but very ashamed of Israel. There is plenty of evidence that their attacks on Gaza were indiscriminate and disproportionate.<BR/><BR/>Seems like a classic case of the persecuted becoming the persecutor. I will not be a part of it.<BR/><BR/>Why isn't the Age talking about Hamas? Probably the same reason they are not talking about Kadima. Let's be honest -there are plenty terrorists in both governments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32508350.post-59869981202346847412009-01-24T15:43:00.000+11:002009-01-24T15:43:00.000+11:00Is that how Senators usually work?They take someon...Is that how Senators usually work?<BR/><BR/>They take someone's story, don't check the facts, and repeat it at a shonky hatefestival to whip us the local lads?<BR/><BR/>The hyphenated named bitch would last 5 minutes in Gaza under Sharia law imposed by Hamas.
