Following yesterday's failed cease-fire, an Israeli naval gunboat has reportedly struck seven children near the port in Gaza, killing at least four. One remains in critical condition. Moments earlier, the kids had been playing soccer with a reporter from NBC, who witnessed the attack firsthand. Dozens of other journalists were nearby.

“The headline says airstrike, the story says gunboat????
Is that the best they’ve got for quality of reporting?”

It’s NBC.

"Dead Gaza Children"?????

If it weren't for the Israeli warning systems, their Iron Helmet interception protection and other sophisticated defenses, the torn bodies of ISRAEL'S children, (and adults) would be strewn on the beaches, on the landing grounds, in the fields and on the streets and on the hills.

THAT is the intent of the terrorist enemy.

Thank you, Sir Winston Churchill for the memorable words...and quoting him further..."We shall NEVER surrender!"

GO ISRAEL!

Fanatical muslims never kill their children. Right? They would never, for example, strap explosive laden vests on their children and tell them to go blow themselves up in the midst of Joos, would they? Molloch, anyone?

Maybe, but last I heard Central America was around 50% self-identified as Catholic and slipping fast. I imagine that the ones who are sending unaccompanied children northward on the death train and such are not the most observant Christians. Nor would I expect them to claim that their actions are motivated by or commanded by, their religion. At least that is my guess. By contrast, Muslims who take their faith very seriously appear to be very well-represented amongst terrorists and others actively courting death.

Every Hamas rocket that is destroyed before it hits, continues along the previous ballistic trajectory as a cloud of metallic debris (shrapnel). It can still be lethal, even without blast effects.

(a body in motion tends to stay in motion!) physics is a bitch.

It’s sad four children who were more than likely being taught hatred of, and to kill jews were themselves killed playing soccer with an NBC reporter by a jewish gunboat that somehow managed to land on seven of the kids at the soccer field after Hamas rejected the cease fire opportunity. Very sad indeed.

Everything about this story reeks of suspicious facts: The on-site sources, the media outlet, the location, the speculative doubt it engenders.

How do we know that it was Israeli naval shelling? ...because the reporters think so. Who releases the facts? ...the NY media - and NBC. I read an AP / Yahoo story a few days ago that ran about 20 paragraphs... the last half on a link to 'page two'; It was the last two paragraphs that mentioned Hamas rockets launched at Israel... the whole first bulk of the story was about poor Palestinians and their wives and children running in terror from Israeli shelling. Did they present the whole story? Yes, but they know many will never proceed to the end of page two.

Do I really need to say more? One needs to read these reports with a jaundiced eye.

Spot on, Bob. Methinks we're smelling the same rat.

Your analysis goes right along with the tale of the Palestinian-American teenager just returned to Tampa along with his allegations he was severely beaten by Israeli police.

Suspicions are he was really injured while or after participating in an anti-Israel riot while visiting over there. Israeli authorities are investigating.

I fervently hope time will tell whether this kid's injuries and the Pally teens' deaths on the beach are as alleged, or, as I posit, are part and parcel of crafty disinformation tactics by the Palestinians (ably aided and assisted by U.S. mediawhores).

It happened on TV. Therefore, it’s the only thing that’s real.
