Thousands of Gazans protesting the Israeli blockade formed a human chain Monday morning along the 40-kilometer long (25 miles) Salah a-Din route, which stretches from Rafah in the south all the way to the northern town of Beit Hanoun.


Protesters from all across the Strip, including thousands of school children, waved signs reading "The siege will only make us stronger", "The world has sentenced Gaza to death" and "Save Gaza".

Rami Abdu, a spokesman for the Popular Committee Against the Siege, said he expected the rally to end without any unusual incidents. "Our message to the world is that we will not be silent until the siege is lifted," he said.

However, in the afternoon hours a small riot erupted near the Erez Crossing, as dozens of Palestinians began stoning IDF forces and

The Israeli forces proceeded to arrest 50 of the rioters, who according to Palestinian sources were mostly teenagers. The IDF, according to one of the sources, had no reason to arrest the teens, since "they were hurling rocks toward the general direction of the crossing but did not pose a threat to any of the soldiers."

A source in the Popular Committee Against the Siege, which organized the mass anti-blockade protest in Gaza called the arrest "proof that Israel was trying to aggravate the situation in order to have the human chain fail in the effort to deliver its message across."

According to one commentator:
Currently the Vegas line is 3.7 to 1 that the IDF will not be able to resist shooting at children that come within thier sights.

What if they treat the Israelis as the Israelis treat them? What would you say to that? Would that be fair?

Was it fair when the Jews treated them as they treated the Jews in Palestine? :shrug: That seems to be the major gripe here.

The incidental death of a civilian, even a child, doesn't make the motivation for military action wrong.

The Israeli military maintains it is targeting sites where rockets are built and launched as well as other militant areas. Nearly 90 rockets have struck the Jewish state since Wednesday.

The latest round of violence began Wednesday morning when an Israeli airstrike targeting a minivan in Gaza killed five senior Hamas militants.

Hours later, Hamas hit southern Israel with more than 40 rockets, one of which struck a parking lot near Sapir College, killing a 47-year-old student there.

Sounds like self-defense to me. Are they supposed to do nothing, because they could hit a kid? The Palestinians probably put the kids there on purpose, so they would become martyrs and they could call the Israelis cruel.

Incidental?? 5 children are killed by incident? What about the other hundreds of children killed? All incidental? How can a man be so blind to truth? The palestininans put the children to be killed huh? yes, this is as stupid a comment as I saying jews put themselves in Hitler's camps to look victims...
 
Total Number of Palestinian casualties in the last week exceeds 60, most o them civilians. Meanwhile. Israeli leaders warn of bringing holocaust on the Palestininans.

Even foxnews gives this as news !!
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,333849,00.html

The website of The Jerusalem Post wrote that Israel’s former Sephardic Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu — one of the most senior theocrats in the Jewish State “ruled that there was absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians during a potential massive military offensive on Gaza aimed at stopping the rocket launchings” (”Eliyahu advocates carpet bombing Gaza,” The Jerusalem Post, 30 May, 2007).

I wonder why this shouldn't be marked as terroris? After all, Al Qaeda has adopted exactly the same principle and they are called "terrorists".
Or maybe some will say: X kills the civilians and Y kills the civilians, so if X is a terrorist, then Y is not a terroist?

Israeli strikes kill 27 Palestinians, at least 10 of them civilians, five being children. Among the dead was a baby of six-months. The recent wave of atrocities started when the Israeli airplanes killed 5 Palestinians yesterday.

the wave started when palestinians decided to attack israel with rockets. they fired katyusha rockets on the israeli city ashkelon, which is pretty dumb considering ashkelon has a power station that provides electricity to gaza.
 
Ah so the last 60 years of occupation and the Gaza lockdown since June 2007 has nothing to do with it?
