the israeli military has instructed families in gaza city to go south to avoid the bombardment... this family did as they were told and according to this report 13 of them were killed anyway because an airstrike hit their shelter... the young girl being interviewed says she is the only one left.

There are more than two sides to this.Also, it's possible to defend a country without inflicting war crimes on innocent people, especially children and babies ...

because the blockade of water and food targets civilians ichkeria... plus i simply do not believe that all these thousands of missiles are being precisely targeted to hit only military targets. i can't exactly prove that but it seems utterly far fetched to me. someone knows what they are doing if they launch lethal weapons into very densely populated civilian areas... and they especially know what they are doing if they bomb areas that they have told people they should fled to 

Untitled, I don't know if you saw BBC news last night, but this left me in tears.  These people, their 18 year old daughter lying slaughtered in front of them, had nowhere to run to either.  Watch it - if you have the stomach.

 

Head south.  It is no guarantee of safety.  Hamas and Israel are at war, and as a result, innocent civilians will be killed.

Terrorist Governments are not signatories to the Geneva convention. Hamas use human shields!!

^

same as the taliban....hamas brough this on palestinians , nobody else, so people like untitled need take off their blinkers and stop skirting round the truth and trying to blame Israel.
Scum like hamas taliban et al arent interested in rules and conventions except when it suits them, so WhyTF should Israel be ?
 

Israel doent need to taget civilians hamas does the job for them...

@08.15.BA surely.Best response to this Hamas terrorist war ive seen since the Hamas terrorists started this war.

DDDIIIIIEEEEEEE !

( or there arent any. every Gazan = Hamas. oh come on this is AB, sense may never visit)

Hey has anyone noticed, that in the Russian Self Defence exercise ( or er invasion that is!) they are flattening Abivka and nothing will be left (nr Donantsk)

We're just going over the same old ground here. In wars, innocent people die. It's an immutable fact which I can't understand Untitled (or anyone else) accepting.  

Terrorist Governments are not signatories to the Geneva convention. Hamas use human shields!!

that is no reason - you naughty ex policeman - that others should use human shields

No whilst you were a copper, when some other copper said, "let us break the law to get criminals after all they do!"

you riposted strongly ( = said) nay nay lad...

These people, their 18 year old daughter lying slaughtered in front of them, had nowhere to run to either.

and yet at other times, people look at slaughtered Gazan children and say wisely - well their fathers brought it on them

such is life

There is a great deal to be sad about regarding this war.  So far the most mentally troubling tv piece I have seen was an older woman screaming to the tv camera that she did not understand why they were being bombed.  To her, Israel had simply started to destroy everything and everyone she cherished.  That woman did not know what we in our comfortable lounges know through tv footage. Was she aware that Hamas had kicked it off?  Clearly not.  THAT is what is troubling for me.

horrifying naomi... i had not seen that particular report but i did see channel 4's reporter going inside one of the houses and entering a child's bedroom which was covered in blood. awful and evil atrocities. 

Yes, untitled, 'horrifying'.  Israel is under attack, it is now, understandably, at war, and it is issuing warnings to civilians.  Those monsters were not at war and those people had no warning.  When presented with the stark reality of the appalling atrocities that Hamas and every group like them has no hesitation in committing, you make efforts to make the right noises but I doubt it convinces many.  Certainly not me.  

Question Author

"you make efforts to make the right noises but I doubt it convinces many."

I am not lying when i say that those things horrify me naomi... they are the worst things that human beings can do. i have not written a single word in support of hamas... not one. 
 

do you think that what happened to the family in my OP was wrong? 

What happened to that family was war, a war instigated by Hamas.  What happened to the Jewish family was not war.  It was terrorism.  

Question Author

" it is issuing warnings to civilians."

but the warnings are worthless. this family were told to flee south... they did and israel bombed them anyway, killing nearly all of them whilr they were in a refugee shelter. 
 

i have said numerous times that what hamas did was evil and wrong... that it is never acceptable to terrorise and slaughter civilians. can you say that it is wrong for the IDF to blow up whole families?

Question Author

"What happened to that family was war, a war instigated by Hamas. "

but do you think it was wrong? or do you think it was acceptable? or do you feel unsure/conflicted?

No but yeah but... you're going round in circles.  Hamas started this and what is happening in Gaza is as a result of their actions.  No one can deny that - not even you.
