Israel's Channel 10 has reported that dozens of Palestinians emerged from the devastated Gaza neighborhood of Shajaiya to protest against the war, and that Hamas rounded twenty of them up and shot them in the street.
The report, delivered during a panel discussion, was based in turn on reports by Palestinian sources, translated by Channel 10's analyst. The demonstrators reportedly blamed Hamas for the destruction of the neighborhood, and Hamas's response was to kill them all immediately. Asked how the demonstration could have come about in the first place, the analyst speculated that there could be other pockets of resistance that would emerge.

Tragic, but not surprising...
Hamas has to be removed from the equation in order for peace talks to be a viable alternative, and so that the people of Gaza can have hope for a future.

If Israel wanted to play this in a more morally-acceptable fashion, they'd go in as liberators instead of indiscriminately killing anybody in their way. They have the resources for it. They don't need to do what they are doing.

Great post. The thing is that if Israel has such a pulse on the Palestinian people why do they need to bomb the crap out of them? Go in on the ground. Surgical strikes. Not carpet bombing.

But they are going in by ground and doing surgical strikes.
If they would carpet bomb Gaza it would all be gone in 15 minutes.

Wow, maybe the UN should put boots on the ground in Palestine to protect the citizens from terrorism, while they are at it create a no fly zone over Palestine as well to protect the innocents from terrorism as well.

Israel is not at war with the people of Gaza, but Hamas has all but assured that civilian casualties would be maximized as a result of their actions.
War is an organized and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors. It is generally characterised by extreme violence, social disruption and economic destruction.
