UNRWA STRONGLY CONDEMNS ISRAELI SHELLING OF ITS SCHOOL IN GAZA AS A SERIOUS VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
STATEMENT BY UNRWA COMMISSIONER-GENERAL PIERRE KRÄHENBÜHL
Jerusalem
Last night, children were killed as they slept next to their parents on the floor of a classroom in a UN designated shelter in Gaza. Children killed in their sleep; this is an affront to all of us, a source of universal shame. Today the world stands disgraced.
We have visited the site and gathered evidence. We have analysed fragments, examined craters and other damage. Our initial assessment is that it was Israeli artillery that hit our school, in which 3,300 people had sought refuge. We believe there were at least three impacts. It is too early to give a confirmed official death toll. But we know that there were multiple civilian deaths and injuries including of women and children and the UNRWA guard who was trying to protect the site. These are people who were instructed to leave their homes by the Israeli army.
The precise location of the Jabalia Elementary Girls School and the fact that it was housing thousands of internally displaced people was communicated to the Israeli army seventeen times, to ensure its protection; the last being at ten to nine last night, just hours before the fatal shelling.
I condemn in the strongest possible terms this serious violation of international law by Israeli forces.
This is the sixth time that one of our schools has been struck. Our staff, the very people leading the humanitarian response are being killed. Our shelters are overflowing. Tens of thousands may soon be stranded in the streets of Gaza, without food, water and shelter if attacks on these areas continue.
We have moved beyond the realm of humanitarian action alone. We are in the realm of accountability. I call on the international community to take deliberate international political action to put an immediate end to the continuing carnage.

"Dunno what the guy is crying about Khamas obviously hiding half their rockets there" -said every Zionist.
Israel is now using the new excuse of "Misfired Khamas rocket" for every civilian casualty the Israelis cause, and the Western media buys into it. If one is unable to see that Israel is intentionally killing civilians then one may as well surgically remove their eyes as they have no need for them.

It's nice, but essentially it won't bring a change. Until the attitude of their governments towards the Palestinian question becomes the main concern of the citizens of the most powerful countries, things won't change. The leaders in the USA, in the European powers, and even less in Russia, won't lose the elections if they don't help the Palestinians. This isn't 19th century Britain where being indifferent to the violent repression of some uprising in some shithole in the Ottoman Empire eventually leads to losing elections. But in our apathetic reality, the world will continue watching the horrors with popcorn and beer.
Unfortunately there was a lack of condoms in this area so they continued with those morons process
Those are just idiots who do not represent what all the people here think
The majority want no more killing except of Hamas since they are terrorists who are the main responsible for this!
You cant seriously not consider Hamas as non terrorist organization!
They executed Palestinians who were protesting against their doing
Israel have people who protest against their county too! Gidon Levi is "Haaretz" reporter a paper which is well known for his left winger (I hope I said it right) opinions who talks like he belongs to the Palestinians yet you dont see Israel execute him or even prevent him from writing or talking!
While I dont agree with everything in this world as its a fucked up world I do agree with my country`s claim that "Hamas" is a terrorist organization who needs to get disarmed!
Palestinians and Israelis should both have countries and since this land is important to both groups both should have it on this land! (and live peacefully of course)

I'm not saying Hamas are cool and all, but if someone conquers my land I bet there will be some guarella or partizans or some other kind of fighters that will come up. And I'm not saying that their actions of violence are justified, because they are not. But the main cause of the violence of Hamas or any other group that fights the conquerors if their land are the conquerors themselfs not "terrorism" and in this case it's Israel.

They have not even the slightest regard to the international opinions and are doing whatever they think of. I'm curious how far can they go with this kind of disregard, there surely has to be a limit somewhere no?
