A strike on a Gaza hospital compound which health officials there said killed at least 200 people has provoked outrage and condemnation from around the world, with protests on the streets of Amman, Tunis, Beirut and Tehran.

Protesters gathered outside the British and French embassies and in Palestine Square in Tehran to voice their anger.

Everybody condemns it.But sentiments aside,who is to blame for this great dearth that has come upon Palestines..

ISRAEL??..
They claim they are defending themselves against terrorist.this claim would have been null,if Hamas had not carried out that attack.No matter how Hamas tries to paint it,they attacked first,killing over a thousand two hundred Israelis.
Don't forget that it was the 9/11 attack by alqaeda that brought war to iraq.

HAMAS??..
They claim to be freedom fighters,that is they are fighting for the emancipation of the Palestinian people.that the Palestinian people have suffered a great deal in the hands of Israel.
They said they are fighting to get back their stolen lands.

PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.
Some say the Palestinian people are to be blamed for this massacre because they voted in Hamas,the terror group that attacked Israel..

My personal opinion is this.
Why attack a country whose military might can wipe out you and your family?
Are there no other ways to get the international community to your aid other than attacking your said oppressors??
If you love your people,why use them as shield in your fight for freedom?
Supposing you gained the freedom you have been fighting for,who will live this free life with you,is it the children you used as shield that are already dead,or the mother's you used as shield??


Now I feel Israel should stop now,a lot of innocent Palestines who know nothing about Hamas are already dead.
I know they want to write a statement that will scare all terrorist organisation,but what about the innocent children who know nothing about Hamas.
But how can they stop,when Hamas is still throwing misiles into Israel??
If you were the prime minister of Israel,would you stand and watch misiles kill your people when you know you have the military might to destroy Hamas?

Now that it has been proven that Hamas was the terrorist organisation behind it. What happens!?

I never saw any of these condemnations when Israeli civilians were brutally murdered in their homes and the road by Islamic terrorists controlling a country. Islam is satanic.

I have a lot to say on this crisis, but there is limit to what i can share, my organization is among listed here, they are in the frontline, the cost of lives in this war is unbearable, both from isreal and Gaza...I am not here to engage with any religious fanatics, but from a humanitarian view, this war is neither a win for isreal nor HAMAS is a loss to humanity, a war without sanctity of lives is not a war, do you know why? this can only be discussed on a different platform not here where you have kids with small data making noise upandan. Sadly the so called world powers condeming this actrocities are arming HAMAS and isreal to kill innocent people.....

Righteousness2:
Fake condemnation

If the condemnation is not directed to the bombers and killers of their own children and people, it is a useless condemnation.

Palestine Islamic Jihad and their fellow terrorist, Hamas bombed and killed their own.

Very correct.

Most of the things you see are Acted Scripts by Islamic Palestinian terrorists.

I saw One they claim someone was under the rubble and as they brought him, Lo and Behold, There was no single sand on his head/hair....

Those deaths you see Muslims claiming are nothing but Scam.

I used to support an all out war against Hamas.But now mehn,seeing the death of the innocent makes me wonder.
I wish someone could get Hamas to stop firing misles,maybe then the US can call Israel to a ceasefire.

Sadly HAMAS IS 0.001 percent of palestinian people, but off course i still blame the Arab world for not calling on these terrorist to other, if i take your land by force, there should be a way you can fight back, not provoking a nation that wipe you out.

on the other hand, Israel understand that HAMAS does not represent the wish of the Palestinian people, why not go after these terrorist and fish them out? they did it before, Can i tell you that israeal has over a 500,000 IDF, 70,000 are Muslims part of them are currently fighting HAMAS, 4,000 are Christians and the IDF are jews, so is not about religion is about, when i see some Christians singing to high heaven of Israel victory i laugh at their ignorance, let the war stop and give access to humanitarian corridor simple, this is our plea

I want to hear directly from the british king comment, over this war only then can i say my mind
