On Tuesday, a U.N. delegation led by secretary General Ban Ki-moon met with Israel's leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

At the visit, Netanyahu showed the Secretary evidence of the Hamas rockets that have been raining down from Gaza for the past few weeks.

The Prime Minister also showed detailed photos of the locations in Gaza where Hamas had dug tunnels inside a kindergarten and near a school.

When showing the maps and the tunnels, Netanyahu explained:

"The international community has pressed us to give cement to Gaza to build schools, hospitals and homes. And now we see what has happened to those deliveries of cement. They have not been used to build kindergartens but to build a tunnel that penetrates our territory so that Hamas can blow up our kindergartens and murder our children."

Netanyahu also gave an impromptu address to a group described by the Prime Minister's Twitter page as "ambassadors." In the brief statement, the Prime Minister delivered a clear warning to the rest of the world about radical Islam.

    "I ask not only for your support, I ask for your moral stance. I ask you to support Israel's right to defend itself, and not to sanctify the idea that these terrorists can attack a beleaguered democracy, can rocket our cities, can target millions of our people, can hide among their civilians, and get away with it. Because if they can, you're next."

    "And what message does it send? To Al-Queda, to Boko-Haram, to Hezbollah, to ISIS, what does it send? What kind of message does it send? What kind of moral message does it send?" he asked emphatically. "When Israel is being condemned for doing what any democracy would legitimately do to defend itself."

    "I ask you to stand with Israel because it is right. Because it is our right to defend ourselves and it is our right to exercise that right."

Wise words from a wise man:

"Gaza could have become a showcase of Arab enlightenment and enterprise after Israel withdrew from the territory in 2005.

It could also have become a tourism haven and a crucible for learning and arts, science and technology.

Instead, Gaza has become a one-party Islamic dictatorship under Hamas, dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel."


"When Palestinians stop chanting for the death of Jews and Israel, and start working to secure their own state, they will achieve it.

Palestinians have demonstrated courage and perseverance. What they need now, is wisdom."

'The union's 28 foreign ministers issued a joint statement after a meeting of the European Council, calling for an end to Hamas rocket attacks and an immediate ceasefire.

"The EU calls on Hamas to immediately put an end to these acts and to renounce violence. All terrorist groups in Gaza must disarm," it said in a statement.

It also condemned the rocket fire at Israel from the Gaza Strip as "criminal and unjustifiable acts," but said Israel must do more to prevent civilian casualties.

"While recognizing Israel's legitimate right to defend itself against any attacks, the EU underlines that the Israeli military operation must be proportionate and in line with international humanitarian law," it said.

The statement came as the Israeli and Palestinian death tolls climbed steadily, with some 30 Israelis killed since the operation began, and more than 600 Palestinians, many of them civilians.

The EU, which is often stridently critical of Israeli policies, also decried "calls on the civilian population of Gaza to provide themselves as human shields."

It said it was "extremely concerned" about the situation, and reiterated its call for an immediate ceasefire.

The EU also appealed for the open of crossings to transfer humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, and emphasized that the current campaign pointed to "the unsustainable nature of the status quo" in the coastal enclave.

Earlier in the day, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also condemned Hamas rocket fire and called on the group to stop using civilian sites for military purposes. He also called for a ceasefire."






I am waiting on ANY suggestion of what else Israel could do to reduce Palestinian civilian casualties when attacking Hamas military installation.

Since the Hamas rockets are antipersonnel weapons, designed to kill as many as possible, unlike the high explosive Israeli bombs that destroy buildings and rocket launchers.

When the rockets are blown up, THEIR shrapnel will kill the local civilian, not the Israeli bombs.

GregF WANTS to have Palestinian civilians killled…


"As soon as the rockets were discovered, UNRWA staff withdrew from the area.

The discovery came after Israel Defense Forces (IDF) accused Hamas of using the Gaza City neighborhood of Shijaiyeh as "fortress for its weapons," according to The Algemeiner.

The IDF released aerial photos Sunday of rocket launch sites inside Shijaiyeh. The pictures claimed Hamas launched rockets from inside and around a mosque, a hospital, a children's playground and a cemetery.

The IDF also said the neighborhood is "saturated with Hamas observation points and is home to a vast network of tunnels used for attacking Israel."

On Monday, the IDF released a video of rocket launchers found next to an agricultural school in Beit Hanoun. Some of the rockets were still in the launchers, ready to be fired."




"In the second case in a week, the UN Agency responsible for Palestinians admitted that its staff had discovered rockets hidden in their schools in the Gaza Strip.

"Today, in the course of the regular inspection of its premises, UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East), discovered rockets hidden in a vacant school in the Gaza Strip," the agency said in a statement Tuesday evening.

"As soon as the rockets were discovered, UNRWA staff were withdrawn from the premises, and so we are unable to confirm the precise number of rockets. The school is situated between two other UNRWA schools that currently each accommodate 1,500 internally displaced persons," the organization said.

UNRWA said it "strongly and unequivocally condemns the group or groups responsible for this flagrant violation of the inviolability of its premises under international law," but did not name any Palestinian entities, like Hamas, which rules the coastal enclave.

"The Agency immediately informed the relevant parties and is pursuing all possible measures for the removal of the objects in order to preserve the safety and security of the school. UNRWA will launch a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident," the agency said.

The statement is almost identical to one released after the last hidden rockets case, when the organization found 20 rockets in another Gaza educational facility on July 16th, in the midst of fighting in Operation Protective Edge.

A day later, Israel's UN Ambassador said he was certain that more such facilities housed Hamas weaponry.

"Yesterday, UNRWA admitted that it mysteriously found 20 missiles in one of its schools," Ambassador Ron Prosor said on Friday in an emergency Security Council session on Gaza.

"I'm sure that if UNRWA takes the time to check its other facilities, it will discover that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Hamas is using UN facilities to commit a double war crime by targeting Israeli civilians while hiding behind Palestinian civilians.""

On Monday, Casey wrote: "You have to wonder [with] the shelling how patients at Shifa hospital feel as Hamas uses it as a safe place to see media."

During the 15 days of Israel's Operation Protective Edge, Hamas has been caught using hospitals, mosques and schools to hide militants and weapons, all of which are contrary to international rules of war created to protect civilians.

"Palestinian armed groups have continued to fire rockets that are indiscriminate when directed at Israeli population centers, in violation of the laws of war. Ouda Lafi al-Waj, 32, was killed and four of his family members were wounded when a rocket struck their home in an "unrecognized" Bedouin community near the town of Dimona in southern Israel on July 19. A rocket badly wounded two Bedouin girls in another "unrecognized" village on July 17.

On July 16, staff of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) found 20 rockets stored in an empty school building. UNRWA promptly removed them, notified all parties, and condemned the military use of its facilities by an unidentified Palestinian armed group. Palestinian armed groups should end unlawful attacks on Israeli population centers and avoid deploying forces and munitions in areas that unnecessarily place civilians at risk."

Neither do (target civilians) - Hamas hasn't got the wherewithal to do so,

Wrong Jim.
Hamas do.
Those people you call "resistance fighters" are defined as terrorists by Ireland, rest of EU and most democracies precisely because they do.

Their suicide bombers' preferred target is buses, preferably with schoolkids on board.
Their mortars target kibutzes.
Their indiscriminate missiles are aimed at population centres.
That is what they do.

Every dead Palestinian civilian is a propaganda disaster for Israel, so they try hard to avoid them.
Every dead civilian is a propaganda victory for Hamas, so.....

"What would you expect your country to do, if missiles were blowing up in your neighborhood??"

Any normal country would move to eliminate that threat.

"Civilians must NEVER be targeted.
Hamas still does, but Israel does not."
Neither do - Hamas hasn't got the wherewithal to do so, Israel has the firepower not to have to bother.
It's just been announced that Ban Ki-moon had condemned Israeli action and has demanded they cease fire immediately

OK..We've heard enough of the 'justifications' and 'blame throwing'..Now WHAT WOULD YOU DO?????...as Israel and/or Hamas??

This seems to be a topic that the pro-Hamas/anti-Semitics, are doing their best to avoid and not weigh in on. Anyone can bitch...but how about a solution, or at least a plan, as you see it.....unless all you see fit to do is piss, whine and moan.
I am as anti-war as any of you...but that is not the same as anti defending your country, when facing unprovoked barrages of missiles.
What would you expect your country to do, if missiles were blowing up in your neighborhood??
Answers??

BTW, anyone who would equate Israel to Hamas is sick, IMO.

Israel is militarized for the same reason that Hamas is....is that what you're saying? If so then you are the one who is being willfully blind.
