And the US blame Hamas.
I hope these psychopaths are brought to justice at some point. Though that won't help those killed. May the innocent rest in piece.
The World is a horrible cruel unjust place at the moment.

I had thought that our government had shown some backbone yesterday when it comes to something which is a clear breach of Fourth Geneva Convention.
Turns out it's business as usual.
No 10 says David Lammy was wrong to tell MPs government thinks Israel has broken international law in Gaza
Yesterday, in the House of Commons, David Lammy, the foreign secretary, said that Israel was in breach of international law because of the way it has been withholding aid from Gaza. In response to a direct question from Labour’s Rupa Huq, he replied:
My honourable friend is right. This is a breach of international law. Israel, quite rightly, must defend its own security, but we find the lack of aid - and it has now been 15 days since aid got into Gaza – unacceptable, hugely alarming and very worrying. We urge Israel to get back to the number of trucks we were seeing going in – way beyond 600 – so that Palestinians can get the necessary humanitarian support they need at this time.
But this morning Downing Street failed to back Lammy, and said instead that the government’s position is Israel is “at clear risk” of breaching international law. At the lobby briefing, the PM’s spokesperson said:
Our position remains that Israel’s actions in Gaza are at clear risk of breaching international humanitarian law, and we continue to call on the government of Israel to abide by its international obligations when it comes to humanitarian assistance.
The spokesperson at first said that Lammy yesterday used this formula. When it was put to him that Lammy told MPs Israel had breached international law, not that it was at risk of doing so, the spokesperson said “there hasn’t been a change in policy here”. He claimed Lammy’s position was that Israel was at risk of breaching humanitarian law.
Asked if Lammy went further than he should have done, the spokesperson said that was a matter for the Foreign Office.
Asked if Lammy would be making a correction, the spokesperson again said that was a matter of the Foreign Office. [Post edited 18 Mar 13:40]

To Trump it's probably 400 less people to cause him problems with his insane Gaza plan. |  |

Let’s face it, it’s probably 100 less moth eaten army surplus tents to dump in the middle of some desert when he clears the survivors out to create Trumpyvegas, that big plastic hotel and the hanging gardens of land mines. |  | | |

Well, their government certainly seems to. Netanyahu comes across as a warmonger, although obviously it takes two to tango.
The whole situation with Israel and their various neighbours is a right old mess and I doubt it’ll change while I’m still alive. Such a waste of life and money for all of them. |  |

Clear plan is to make Gaza part of Israel and always was, this is just another part of the process and unfortunately the Uk is complicit |  |

Netenyahu doubling down tonight.
I know we shouldn't forget the Hamas attack, but FFS. It was disgusting, but those poor b@stards who have gone home to try to resettle in the rubble are now under attack again. There can't be much left to destroy now. This is nothing more than the sysyematic dismantling of Palestine and is beyond shameful now. |  |

Oxfam has described No 10’s decision to over-rule David Lammy, and disown his comment about Israel being in breach of international law by blocking aid to Gaza, as “appalling”.
In response Oxfam’s chief executive, Halima Begum, said:
Israel has been committing non-stop violations of international law in Gaza and the West Bank for over a year; including most recently blocking all aid into Gaza, collectively punishing over two million people who are already living in apocalyptic conditions. These war crimes have been televised and reported by countless organisations and legal bodies, from the UN to the International Court of Justice.
Today of all days, when Israel has resumed its illegal bombing campaign and forced displacement orders on Palestinians in Gaza, for the government to row back on the foreign secretary’s words is nothing short of appalling. The UK government must condemn these crimes in the strongest terms immediately and stop its complicity in this catastrophic crisis. | | | |

I'm surprised that Hamas haven't started publicly executing hostages tbf and wonder what the reaction of the general public in Israel would be if it happened. |  |

I don’t. Sorry, I thought that was clear but to avoid any doubt I can’t see there ever being real peace as long as Israelis and Palestinians exist, and also while Iranian-supported militias are operating across the region. | |

Just children left to kill so they can't turn into adult terrorists.
Oh and women, of course, so there cannot ever be another generation of Palestinians.
I think there's a name for this...? |  |

As an aside, something else I can't figure out is just how many people, usually keen to express themselves through the medium of uppies and downies and who also repeatedly claim they have no truck for the actions of the Israeli state, simply can't bring themselves to up vote threads such as these. | |

In no way should our government speak for the people of Britain in saying they back Israel. By doing so they are basically saying go ahead and kill innocent men, women and children. They certainly in no way speak for me. It is absolutely disgusting and vile. Yes I have every sympathy with the people of Israel when Hamas killed 1200 people and took hostages. But I cannot agree in any way that completely flattening Gaza on the pretence that every building is hiding terrorist is right. | | | |

In fairness, I think a couple of them have recently fallen foul of the old banhammer.
I’m sure they’re dabbing the uppie button in virtual forumland. |  |
