Beatings are carried out by many copuntries.

Executions also, America and the UK are no different.

It may be wrong, but don't focus as if this is something outraegous that only terrorists would do. Unless you agree we are also run by terrorists.

Any persons reaction should be to this, is governments are ran by crimnals all over the world.

Uk/usa and israel all do this to any one and everyone they can.

It's vaguely plausible but the source is questionable. This is a fourth hand report (Gazan contacts -> West Bank Palestinians -> Jerusalem Post -> Israeli News) delivered by an Israeli news site. I'm hesitant to put much faith in it without corroboration from a more reliable source.

Palestinian sources in Judea and Samaria (the so-called "West Bank") told The Jerusalem Post that according to their contacts in Gaza, life for anyone loyal to Mahmoud Abbas' ruling Fatah movement has taken yet another turn for the worse.

so, any chance of a slightly better source than a friend of a friend who's first cousin knows someone who overheard a conversation in a bar?

i can't find mention of this story in the jerusalem post either but that hardly matters, eh?

Once again, as have other governments.

Yet we are not tarnished with the same hatred...

The UK and the US does not kill or maim family members of people it considers criminals.

ummmm ya
I think I need a more reliable source

The US certainly does or have you forgotten WACO, and what has happened in Iraq and other places, how many family members have been tortured and murdered there, plenty I'm sure. All nations have a history of commiting war crimes stating some don't is not being serious.

I have no doubt Hamas has/would do such things but as above so do all the others so they only thing they have in common is that they are all as bad as each other.

This thing is getting out of hand people!!! I have supported Israels Right to do what they are but this isn't working! I think it is about time the U.N look at sending in neutral forces and observers to end this craziness. We have to give Israel reason to believe that they an be free from terror and rockets, and we have to give the Palestinians a reason to be free from fear of Israeli attack or Terror attack from it's own government. This thing is going to explode in the worlds face if we don't do something to stave this thing off...

I would love to see Hamas taken out of Gaza and he world because of their terror but I don't think we can let Israel or Fatah do it. This only gives the terrorists and others reason to hate Israel or blame the US or what have you. We have given both sides 6 decades to kill each other off or make peace, they haven;t done either and so I say it is time for the world to bring them peace and safety. If we leave this up to Hamas and Israel's government their will never be an end to this craziness...

I never said it had anything to do with maiming families.

During to most recent conflict with the IRA, the British army were found to have shot several IRA members who were kneeling in the street in the back of the head.

Not official government policy, but I would hardly call things Hamas does official government policy.


British forces also fired on IRA sympathetic protestors on bloody Sunday, that was all officially done.


Those are just two cases, we, and America will surely have many more we don't know about.

The writer of the story isn't Jewish, but in fact Arabic.

What exactly do you need for it to be credible?

The Kernel is left wondering if this source is so credible, why haven't they given exact Hamas targets to prevent collateral casualties? Why just this news?

No, we took people, forced them to kneel on the streets, put guns to their heads and pulled the trigger, a slow, all knowing experience.

We fired into unarmed crowds, killing unarmed innocent people who put their arms up to surrender, killing people who we trying to help the wounded, shooting people in the back as they ran. Specifically targeted.

Why are we so much better?

We don't even know about all the things we have done in Ira and Afghanistan.
