Care to explain how Israeli air strikes on Gaza were an accident??

Perhaps they really meant to send flowers but someone got the message confused and dropped bombs instead??

I think both sides suffer from this mental illness. Remember we are talking about a country that started a war which resulted in over 1000 deaths and the destruction of an entire country over the kidnapping of 2 people.

But the facts still are that Israel did not throw a rock, but instead bombed Gaza and killed 10 civlians including women and children. However you want to look at it, they are the ones that broke the treaty.

I'm pretty sure if Israel had bombed Egypt and killed 10 Egyptian civilians that their treaty with Egypt would also fall apart.

Don't sweat it. "Every" post of Eric's has Nazis running through it. He's positively fixated.

Yes, just as the sinking of the USS Maine was a significant turning point in American history 108 years ago. The Reichstag fire also a very significant turning point/event in German history.

I have a feeling you are not so familiar with those 2 events, so try clicking on the links I provided (information from Answers.com) and then you will understand my point better.

it is very interesting how there is no real credible source that confirms those attacks. find me a credible source and then we can have a meaningful conversation

Sorry to say that there was a media blackout on this in the US. None of the cable news stations reported the incident nor did any of the major American newspapers.

But the media from the rest of the world did indeed report the incident. Since you seem to be of the opinion that Britain is our greatest ally, here are some of the major british newspapers:

Guardian: Death on the beach: seven Palestineans killed as Israeli shells hit family picnic

The Independent: Palestineans killed on Gaza beach by Israeli gunboats

The Times: Babies die as artillery barrage hits families on picnic beach


And how about an Israeli news source:

Ynet: PM's daughter protests Gaza killings

Dana Olmert takes part in left-wing demonstration outside army chief's house; protesters call Halutz 'murderer,' declare 'intifada shall prevail.' Meanwhile, human rights groups send letter to PM, defense minister, calling on them to stop war crimes in territories.


Even the Prime Ministers own daughter thinks Israel was wrong.

Acknowledging that Israel is headed down the wrong road and has lousy leadership does not mean you are anti-Israeli. I am very much pro-Israeli. I think they were headed down the right road when Rabin was Prime Minister, but since then they have had very poor leadership.
