runner,
Explain to me....in UN-designated safe compounds, the people in charge texting coordinates - in one case 33 times - and in another 17 times - to avoid the frenzy of missile attack...that the Israelis deliberately targeted both sites, killing and maiming the cowering occupants...that that is using using "kids as human shields"? Speaks volumes that you as a Christian can't bring yourself to condemn the mass slaughter of defenceless civilians by advanced weaponry....I mean even just a teensy bit.

runner,
Any commentary of the fact that Palestinians have been squeezed into a ghetto - and their kindly masters have imposed a kindly blockade - and have refused to allow salary to be paid to Palestinian govt workers. I mean, hello? http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/05/gaza-blockade-must-end-un-first-step-settlement "This was a major concession by Hamas, opening Gaza to joint control under a consensus government that did not include any Hamas members. The new government also pledged to adopt the three basic principles demanded by members of the International Quartet (UN, US, Europe, Russia): non-violence, recognition of Israel, and adherence to past agreements. Tragically, Israel rejected this opportunity for peace and has until now succeeded in preventing the new government’s deployment in Gaza. Two factors are necessary to make the unity effort possible: at least a partial lifting of the seven-year sanctions and blockade that isolate the 1.8 million people in Gaza; and an opportunity for public sector workers on the Hamas payroll to be paid. These requirements for a human standard of life continue to be denied. Instead, Qatar’s offer to provide funds for the payment of employees was blocked by Israel and access to and from Gaza has been further tightened by Egypt and Israel." (Okay, BTT - I'm done with this subject) Posted by Poirot, Monday, 9 March 2015 3:53:34 PM

Twenty four year old Harry Potter actress and UN
Ambassador Emma Watson - is one of many young women to speak out on the importance of spreading awareness and making a difference on issues that still affect many women today. She spoke out on International Women's Day - which has been around since the 1900s. She stressed that "women around the world still face serious issues, including violence (Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty is perfect proof of that), wage inequity, and biases about gender roles. Watson commented on how "it's just so overwhelming and humbling when men want to show their support..." It does as she said - "spread awareness and it does make a difference." Here's to the men who are capable of giving - more than just empty ignorant words. Posted by Foxy, Monday, 9 March 2015 5:08:04 PM

Fox,
So now you are going off about Emma Watson? "Mission Control calling Fox, come in Fox". BTT - which is about the ABC's flagging Q&A circus. Posted by onthebeach, Monday, 9 March 2015 8:29:47 PM

P,
Sometimes I wonder if you have no logical filter on what you read or post. So in your world: The Israelis invaded Gaza to chase unarmed civilians down the streets? The 2000 rockets fired from Gaza was a cultural event? Videos of rockets being fired from civilian areas is faked? Reports of Hamas arms stores in hospitals and schools by humanitarian organisations were fake? It would be laughable if it was not so sad. Posted by Shadow Minister, Tuesday, 10 March 2015 2:04:02 AM

actually its crystal clear what people who will use kids as human shields represent Poirot. The haters of Israel (especially the God of Israel) have swallowed the propaganda left right and centre. What they fail to realise is that even if all of Israel's land was given to the Arabs that then the West is then in the sights of these terrorist. Talk about being blind.
