I saw an Israeli military general piece of shit on the C4 news last night trying to defend these weapons. It was sickening to behold. They are basically massive nail-bombs, designed to inflict the largest amount of indiscriminate damage to as large a number of human bodies over as large a diameter as possible. I've seen footage on the internet of what these bombs do to people and have done to those poor bastards in Gaza. Footage that contained scenes so terrible that newsman said said he and his colleagues will never be able to un-see them. He was right.

I know. I was shaking my head and typing a bit rhetorically.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools - Douglas Adams.

U.S. networks remove reporters critical of Israeli attack on Gaza
Under no circumstances can the people be given access to an honest and objective account of what is taking place in Gaza.

Latest reports state that around 600 Palestinians dead (a large proportion of which are civilian men women and children) as compared to around 30 Israeli soldiers dead.
Or to use the deeply sinister and cynical language of contemporary BBC reportage; the Israeli soldiers were "killed by Hamas forces", whereas the Palestinians merely "died". I shit you not, that was the exact wording used by the f***ing BBC last night.
Additionally, what was not mentioned at all was the 100,00 displaced Palestinians who are now homeless and the tens of thousands who have been severely injured.
I will never pay my BBC TV licence again.

I'm not sure what disgusts me more, this man's ideas or the fact the the UK government supports Israel. Moshe Feiglin is Deputy Speaker of the Knesset. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Artic ... 87HKPldXHv

They will pay.
And we wonder why some people will strap a bomb to their back and blow themselves up in Tel Aviv and anywhere else that backs these bastards.
He looked to be the same age as my eldest son. He was just looking for his family.
Nothing to lose....

David Ward the LibDem MP for Bradford East has got himself into a lot of trouble for two truthful tweets. A lot of powerful people do not like the truth.David Ward @DavidWardMP
Ich bin ein #palestinian - the West must make up its mind - which side is it on?

The big question is - if I lived in #Gaza would I fire a rocket? - probably yes
