GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli forces shelled the United Nations headquarters in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, setting fire to the compound filled with hundreds of refugees as U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon was in the region on a mission to end Israel’s devastating offensive against the territory’s Hamas rulers.

    I somehow doubt it was a mistake.The coincidence theory strikes again!

    They hit the 2nd largest hospital in Gaza City also. Nice to see that Israel is really trying to minimize those civilians casualties. And they still aren’t allowing journalists in, either.http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE5053R720090115

    Debate Hannity? When every sentence you write contains ad hominum remarks that is hardly a debate. Obama is nothing like Lincoln. Read the history an you will find that Lincoln believed evey man should survive by his own efforts and not ride on the backs of others.

    Wrong thread bill.But, exaggerate much?It is impossible to debate Hannity in any case. He doesn’t debate, he pontificates.Debating requires actually listening and responding to what your opponent says, not ignoring your opponent and re-insisting that you are correct. It’s also considered very helpful to have factual evidence to support your position instead of fabricated half-truths and carefully cherry-picked items.

    SillyGit………I’ve also found a lack of shouting adds a great deal to the weight of a debate. The Hannitys and Billos just shout you down or cut your mic and declare victory………..

    Sean Hannity is listening impaired.His concept of listening is waiting (only for a very short period) for his turn to talk.The winner in any debate on Hannity’s show is determined by who shouts the loudest and prevents the other from making any salient points by said shouting.Naturally, Sean wins all the time.

    >>>When every sentence you write contains ad hominum (sic) remarks that is hardly a debate.Bob doesn’t make ad hominem attacks, you ugly, ignorant whiney asshole.That’s MY job.

    If my memory serves, an apartment building or house was blown to hell in the very early stages of the Iraq war, on the basis that Saddam might have been there. Indiscriminate bombing was a continued feature of the war. Israel is just doing what its big brother and armaments benefactor does.

    When the Palestinians kill one Israeli it’s a terrorist attack.When the Israelis drop a bomb on a hospital it’s “limiting civilian casualties”.Anyone else see a problem with this?

    Sucks to lose huh Bill??BTW, try commenting in the correct threads. That should go much further in creating an aura of a modicum of intelligence.

  • GItheScholar

    The Israeli Army is well trained and well equipped. Look at the photos of their soldiers and compare them to US soldiers. Look similar? That is because they have the same shit we do. We have bombs that could target my cell phone in my basement and so does Israel. This wasn’t a mistake.Anywho. What does everyone think about Israel’s actions? I really don’t have an opinion. My support for Israel is just lip service. I really don’t like wars and starting them is usually a bad idea.

    Joe,Reportedly this was a mortar attack, not a bombing. Big difference in accuracy.
