Palestinians killed on Gaza beach
TV pictures suggest a family was on a picnic when the disaster struck
Six people, including three children, have been killed by Israeli shells which hit a beach in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials say.
They say at least 25 people were wounded in the shelling.
The Israeli military says it has halted all shelling of Gaza and has launched an inquiry into whether ground-based artillery could have been involved.
Three other people were also killed in an Israeli air strike in northern Gaza on Friday, Palestinians said.
I hope the Jewish killers and their US paymasters feel happy with their day's work

Yet again we see state - sponsored murder of peaceful people conducted by the zionist killers of Isreal.
I wonder what excuses / justifications we'll hear to to defend these crimes.

How many kids have the plalistinians killed this week? How many random rockets have they fired into Israel with the hopes of killing anybody at all?
Your "news" report fails to mention any of that.

I hope you can substantiate that, that’s quite an accusation, id say an outright unsupportable bit of slander even. You know, posting knowingly false information is against the TOS, have anything to back up that claim?

Innocent people are their only targets! That's because the Palestininans are weak scum bags and have chosen an evil and unjustifiable path. Support who you will and accept the guilt. There's plenty to go around...

Put all Palestinians in a small area or zone (in this case Gaza Strip);
Evacuate all Isreali civilians (hey, didn't that happen last year?);
Use that small area or zone as a Military firing Range;

While that may have been their plan Souljah, its success may be a different story. I honestly believe the good people here in the USA will not tolerate nor continue to support such a thing any longer in order to satisfy a small group of people. If we were more supportive of Palestinians in gaining freedom and a home of their own, we would accomplish so much more and have less resistance in our Mideast endeavors. Iran and Syria would have no reason to feel they need to stave us off in Iraq, and Iran would not be a worry to us as far as their energy aspirations go, as well as many of the Oil producing countries would be more then happy to accomodate us with our oil needs. The sooner we realise that Israel is not a necessary factor in achieving our goals in the Mideast the quicker we will see positive results.
Pro-Isreali Hawks OWN Washington!
The pro-Israel lobby, whose principal Jewish component is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), became a significant force in shaping public opinion and US Middle East policy after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Its power was simultaneously enabled and enhanced by Israel's emergence as a regional surrogate for US military power in the Middle East in the terms outlined by the 1969 Nixon Doctrine. In the 1970s and 1980s, the lobby was able to unseat representatives and senators who could not be counted on to support Israel without qualification, such as Sen. Charles Percy (R-IL), Rep. Paul Findley (R-OH) and Rep. Pete McCloskey (R-CA). In 2002, the pro-Israel lobby successfully targeted African-American representatives Earl Hilliard (D-AL) and Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) for defeat in Democratic primaries. Hilliard and McKinney were both vulnerable for reasons unrelated to Israel. McKinney, for instance, was defeated in part because the open primary allowed Republicans angered over her comments about the September 11 attacks to cross over and vote against her in the Democratic primary. Nonetheless, their defeat enhanced the impression that the pro-Israel lobby wields great power in electoral politics.
TEL AVIV'S INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS
The Washington Institute for Near East Policy influences the thinking of the United States government and has a near monopoly on the supply of "expert" witnesses to the media. After almost two decades of relative moderation, the institute is now drifting towards the Israeli right.
Winep has close links with both leading Democrats and Republicans. Its first major success was the publication of the report Building for Peace: An American Strategy for the Middle East on the eve of the 1988 presidential elections. The report urged the incoming administration to "resist pressures for a procedural breakthrough [on Palestinian-Israeli peace issues] until conditions have ripened"
Six members of the study group that produced the report joined the administration of President Bush Sr, which adopted this recipe: Not to change until change was unavoidable. So the US acceded to Israel's refusal to negotiate directly with the Palestine Liberation Organisation during and after the 1991 Madrid conference despite the PLO's recognition of Israel at the November 1988 session of the Palestine National Council.
The Clinton administration continued this policy. As a result, from 1991 to 1993, 11 rounds of US-sponsored negotiations between Israel and "non-PLO" Palestinians produced no result. When Israel became serious about negotiating with the Palestinians it met official PLO representatives in Oslo, behind the back of the Clinton administration. These talks resulted in the September 1993 Israeli-Palestinian declaration of principles.
But Bush Jr brought to Washington a clique of Middle East policy makers linked to Israel's Likud party and to neo-conservative hawkish think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute, the Project for a New American Century, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (Jinsa), and the Centre for Security Policy (CSP).
Vice President Dick Cheney, Undersecretary of State for arms control and international security John Bolton, and Undersecretary of Defence for policy Douglas Feith were all on Jinsa's board of advisers before they entered the Bush administration: in all, 22 CSP associates secured positions in the Bush national security apparatus.
