Israel have already been too much there. I'm feeling too much pain for the little children dying in Gazza. %35 of all the dead people are CHILDREN only. Today, a school was hot and 40 more children died... This is what I call terrorism. Legalised terrorism... http://www.milliyet.com.tr/Dunya/SonDakika.aspx?aType=SonDakika&Kategori=dunya&ArticleID=1043649&Date=06.01.2009 I doN't think any HUMAN carrying a real heart can say good things about the photos...

Israel has GPS of all the UN buildings. They knew this building contained children.

First Israel was saying that Hamas was firing at them from the hospital, not they're actually saying that Hamas was firing somewhere near the hospital and apparently it was a mistake to shoot the hospital. Although I don't think the world "mistake" was ever used.

It is too bad that children are dying but who is shooting from the buildings and hiding behind women and children? Where was the world outcry when the Israel settlement was shelled with rockets during the attacks on Lebanon. They were more concerned with the photos that were later proven to be staged and not real. I have not heard any out cry over the daily rocket attacks on Israel, which was aimed at civilians. It seems that Muslim children are more valuable than Jewish children or African Children or Spanish Children, British children.

I guess because the Palestinians have not signed the Geneva Convention they are free to do what they want. Set up rockets in schools, and hospitals. They are allowed to take hostages,including soldiers and not treat them as POW but torture them and execute them. What about the billions that countries have sent to them for humanitarian aid that is used to buy more rockets and weapons to use against Israel. What about using women and children as bombers against civilians? It must be nice to have the world demand that your enemy has to follow the rules and says nothing when you choose to violate all the rules of the treaty and even the rules of Civilized Humanity.

This is not an issue of ethnicity or religion. This is an issue of legality and fairness. See my post above.

I felt bad looking at these pictures too. Such a sad little boy. I don't know exactly what's going on in Gaza but you would think that both the Israeli's and the Palestinians would want to get together and stop killing children because if there are no kids there will be none of either people. I don't think anyone wants that. I'm not going to get into the whole whose right and whose wrong because I think nobody's immune. But really, to firebomb a school? What's the point of that? I wish the article you sent a link to had been in English. Apparently, it was in Arabic or something or the computer translated it funny.

I feel the same way with you. I didn't say anyone is right or wrong there, but children are dying and there is no any good point in this. In the other hand, the text is in Turkish not Arabic, I am sad to see many people are mixing Turkish and Arabic as they don't even look close to each other. However, there are some people who are working hard to make Turks look like Arabs but that's topic of another discussion. Thank you for your response my friend.

Nothing about the war on Gaza, or their blockade of Gaza, or their occupation of the West Bank is legal. But not many people seem to talk about that. You can read the 4th Geneva convention here http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm and see why.

The most ironic thing about the 4th geneva convention is that it was convened in response to the atrocities of the Nazis after WWII.
