RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli tanks and helicopters fired into a large crowd of Palestinian marchers in the Gaza Strip Wednesday, killing up to 23 people, including children, and wounding up to 60 others.

Extend hands. Remove gloves.
Apparently terrorists holding anti-tank missile launchers were concealed in the crowd. They were spotted from helicopters and taken out. Hidden troves of munitions secreted away by the Palestinian arab terrorists blew up, killing more of their own children.
So this is what's called using human shields?
Why bother to destroy the infrastructure? The Palis will do it themselves. Without the Jews, they'll starve to death. All the more reason to let them have their own state--on the other side of the wall.
You are absolutely right. I salute you!
That wouldn't surprise me one bit, but I didn't read it in the article.
Exactly.
Palestinians are incapable of self-government - the Turks, French, and British were apparently correct in denying it to them.
So have at 'em, Abey! These dumbf*cks are good for targets, if nothing else!
Discount only about 25% of this post as mere hyperbole.
Yes. In legal terms it's reckless endangerment. Historically, it's like the Children's Crusade, in which they are sacrificing their own children for a political cause -- and such a nihilistic one at that!
lol ... these idiots worship death, let them have it.
What do you mean, "apparently"? Do you have a link to a report that says that?
"Marchers"...that must be newspeak for terrorists
Too bad they didn't drop a big bomb. These rallies are the perfect time to get them. These are terrorist demonstrations when they get together and scream for the death of Israel and America. I think they should be legitimate targets because they gather in a large group. You can't deal kindly with these people.
While they fake their big crocodile tears for the cameras...and smile all the way to the bank to cash the checks the Saudis send them?
IMO
I have always been of the opinion that if a mob is waving automatic weapons, or tolerates others among them who do, then they are legitimate targets every time.
The same goes for parents who encourage or force their children to be among such a mob; they, not the defenders, are responsible for the children's deaths.
Get a load of this.
I thought I heard this mentioned on the news.
I cannot believe they did this.
Let's see how many clamor to march with the terrorists leaders next time. Who knows, there may be more, they love blood and death so.
According to Maariv:
"An initial examination revealed that an IDF gunship identified armed Palestinians in the march approaching the Tel Sultan neighborhood. At some point, the gunship fired one missile towards an open space. Meanwhile, tanks fired shells at open areas to deter the armed activists, some of whom were reportedly carrying RPG rocket launchers.
"A military source told Maariv Online that a tank fired towards an abandoned structure and speculated that this could have activated explosive devices hidden in the area by Palestinians." Here's the link: http://www.maarivintl.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=article&articleID=7581
Are we supposed to be horrified?
Sorry- I have no problem seeing people who worship death getting it.
Children too? Oh well- if they valued their children they would not teach them that death is better than life, would they?
Fewer mad cultists that the children in MY family will have to deal with in another generation.
Does this make me as 'bad as our enemies'?
If so- it is hatred that Islam's followers have well-earned.
