The International Committee of the Red Cross is a reliable international source. The allegations they are making here paint the Israelis as committing war crimes by preventing evacuation or medical treatment of civilians. Graphic and inhuman incidents are described.

An article that I know to be true. While watching Israel butcher innocents on national news last night, A Red Quest worker trying to drag someone to an ambulance, was shot in HIS legs. He was transported and the person was left laying there.

Ive' never been call anti-Jew, put that put and indelible picture in my mind. Killing women and children is wrong. There is NO excuse, NO excuse for doing so. If the U.S. can kill a carload of terrorists from a small plane 10 miles away, why can't Israel stop these bombs coming in by putting eye's in the sky.

off course, reporting events as they happen is a fair approach.

it is sad to see, killing 700 palestinians may generate another hundreds of suicide bombers, in no way it will eliminate hatered and anger. such stories add fuel to fire to take revenge. suppose your family members are killed in such brutal way, live infront of your eyes, somehow you succedded in surviving, what will u do ? a law abiding citizen ? or ............................. ? humanity is in danger. let sanity prevail.
