Really I am not a fan of either side and this just goes to show how much both sides are trying to play emotional sentiments.

It seems that the UN has been under pressure to put the record straight after doubts arose that the school had actually been targeted.

It's quite amazing watching these arguments between Israel and palestine run their course when in my eyes they are both playing the same game.
