Retaliatory Attacks Between Israel and Gaza ContinuePosted on Aug 25, 2011
Nine Palestinians died and 29 were wounded in a series of Israeli airstrikes that began Wednesday and continued Thursday. The air raids were in retaliation for a recent terrorist attack that killed eight Israelis and for continuing rocket fire over the Israel-Gaza border. On the Israeli side, a baby was reported to have been slightly wounded when shrapnel from a Palestinian rocket hit a car. Since the deadly attack on Israel on Aug. 18, the country has retaliated by killing at least 23 Palestinians, many of them Islamic Jihad and pro-Hamas leaders but some of them simply civilians. —BF

‘games’ - an apt description - seems like they’re practicing - the dead, so what… just stinkin’ arabs - might as well be clay pigeons

From the report:
“Nine Palestinians ‘died’ and 29 were wounded in a series of Israeli airstrikes…”
“The air raids were in retaliation for a recent terrorist attack that killed eight Israelis and for continuing rocket fire over the Israel-Gaza border.”
====================================================
So here the Palestinians just “died” whereas the the Israeli raids that massacred several children were justified as “retaliation for a recent terrorist attack…”
You see the logic of partisan and one-sided reporting!

Analysis: renewed hostilities between Gaza and Israel
by Richard Lightbown on August 23, 2011
Warning: Graphic, Blood Content
By Richard Lightbown * | Sabbah Report | http://www.sabbah.biz
“Israel’s response has been to launch at least 50 air strikes into civilian areas in the Gaza Strip since 14 August. While the secretary-general of the Salah-al-Deen Brigades and a member of the Popular Resistance Committees have been reported killed, the total number of casualties on 20 August was 15 dead and 45 wounded. Two of the dead were two years old and another was aged 13. Ten children, eight women and two elderly people are among the injured; one 15-year-old is said to be seriously hurt. A Facebook account showing photographs depicting some of the truly horrific injuries from these attacks had gone down on the morning of 21 August, but many of the photographs were still available on the Europalestine website.

If you’re interested in viewing the Israeli terrorism in action and their massacres of children, just go to sabbahreport website and click on Europalestine website
to see photos at the end of the post.
If you still not moved to action against Israeli terrorism, then remember that ...
Silence is complicity!

Hey “BF,” how many of the Israelis killed were simply civilians?

You seldom hear of the Israeli drone attacks.
The wave of the future.
