have you ever heard artillery or bombs falling? i would guess that bomb is going fast if not close to the speed the jet that dropped it was going, so it probably sounded like it was behind them.

When watching all this violence, I keep asking myself when humanity will finally realize it's better to come together as a human race, put all our differences aside and invest all that energy, potential and creativity into research and development for the good of mankind. For example, alternative energy, nuclear fusion, tidal energy, nanotech applications, space exploration, preservation of natural resources.
I guess we aren't there yet. I also think I will not witness this evolution in my lifetime.

The photos seem kind of weird to me too. I just don't understand how the makeshift tire blockade seems to appear and disappear. Also the white van and yellow car seem to appear and disappear.
Each photo is taken from a different location on the street, and how did the photographer happen to be snapping photos in the exact direction while everyone else panicking?
I'm not claiming anything just a bit confused.

So, this is a war that is being justified because Hamas fired rockets into Israel yes? my question has to be ............ if Israel controls Palestine borders and coast, which it does, where are the components for these rockets, especially the propulsion elements, coming from? or ............... wait for it............................................... is it all BS ? you decide
I do not sympathize with Hamas. And they are the ONLY reason Israel is there. If Hamas was in fact not in Gaza, that part of the world would be a much happier place.

Is there any evidence that Israel is actually bombing Hamas?
excellent question!
for a moment I thought you're joking but with so many dead civilians it may seem like when they kill Hamas fighters it's collateral damage.
If genocidal elimination of Gaza was the aim, why bother to phone ahead?
Couldn't they maximize civilian casualties without the phone calls if that was the goal? For that matter why not strafe all the spectators?

Hamas is Palestines stupid, drunk girlfriend. She's continually picking fights for him with the toughest guy in the bar. Until Palestine breaks up with Hamas it's going to keep getting into these fights it can't win. Later on, when it grows up and gets on with it's life, it will look back and wonder what it ever saw in Hamas. Until then there's nothing any of us can do to help it.

Most likely... They got that place wrapped up tighter than a drum! I mean # if they wanted they could sniper most of the people firing rockets from their border! But nah... Much more fun getting to use bombs on people... You get to see the pretty explosion etc. Really cool...
Just sickening mate
I really cannot see how a sniper can hit a target through 8, or 10 buildings, the rockets are not fired from an open field, watch the TV news!
