    Their families wiped out, grieving Palestinians in Gaza ask why

    In the chaos of the war, taking account of the dead is a rushed, heart-rending process.

    It begins with relatives scribbling the names of the dead and missing. They dig into the rubble with their hands, calling out for survivors. Hospitals later issue death certificates.

    Grieving relatives, who maintain no one in their households had links to Hamas, ask: Why them?

    ''Why would they kill children and an old man?'' asked al-Naouq. ''What is the military justification for bombing my house? They were all civilians.''

    ''I wish, one day, I can meet the one who pulled the trigger. I want to ask him: Why did you do it?''

    Well, I can think of about 1400 reasons why.

    Well, I can think of about 1400 reasons why.

    The night a blast struck his family's home in the Gaza Strip, Ahmed al-Naouq was more than 2,000 miles away but he still jolted awake, consumed with inexplicable panic..

    Wait, I thought Gaza was an “open air prison”… So how is he in London?

    Beyond that, something I noticed in several of these anecdotes… No evidence that these missiles were launched by Israel…

    Link to video

    1000 misfires… not every one of those is going to kill even 1 person, but many will kill multiple. So how many civilian Palestinians have been killed by Hamas?

    The story about the rocket that went through the top floor of the apartment building and exploded on the next level down is a perfect example. Israeli ordinance a) wouldn’t explode after only penetrating 1 level and b) if it went off 1 level below him, he wouldn’t be able to tell the tale.

          "That is a disgusting accusation."

          Probably the understatement of the week.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            He should have answered that the reason for the disparity is that Hamas values Palestinians less than they do Jews.

                            Sex and the City actress turned politician is going on a hunger strike in support of a cease fire.

                            I guess if she finally gets pretty, it'll be Israel's fault.

                                      At least there shouldn’t be any more questions about the prevalence of religious devotees to oppression narratives.

                                          The thing is, I was up against those groups of people that batted things around in their own minds and with each other, and then would flood the boardroom meeting after meeting. They did not represent anything other than their view, and were willing to take down anyone, especially board members at next election. Scary. Especially after meetings trying to walk to my car.
