Israel's war on Gaza killed 1,330 people,70 percent of the deaths were civilian; and wounded 5,450 others, Wounded included 1,890 children. Palestinian medics said on Thursday in a final toll of the offensive. 70 percent of the deaths were civilian. Overall, thirty-four health facilities—eight hospitals and twenty-six clinics—were damaged or destroyed in the Israeli attack.Add to that several UN facilities - including one with hundreds of tons of food and medicine. Plus the tunnels that brought-in food, fuel, parts, medicine etc. were destroyed.
Israeli side: 3 civilians, 10 soldiers [4 by friendly fire] (gives new meaning to the term asymetric warfare)
Genocide of a trapped population in a ghetto, IMO - the timing for end of Bush Regime and Israeli elections gave it an even more revolting blush. Weapons banned by international law were repeatedly used, but denied as used. Persons were phone by the IDF told to leave X and go seek shelter at Y; only to have Y bombed immediately afterwards.
Nothing for Israel to be proud of and I believe a turning-point for that nation - all downhill from here until the citizens retake their country - as the population of the USA and UK must also - all three are in the hands of a connected cabal of warmongers, apartheidists , ultra-right, and imperialists.
