The IDF is using sulphide gas on civilians. Dr's in two hospitals AND foreign reporters are verifying.
Al Wafa spinal and geriatric hosptial patients moved overnight to the medical complex listed as 'safe' by the IDF yesterday are coming under attack AGAIN.
I'm assuming you are referring to Hydrogen Sulfide gas?
You realize that your source is accusing the IDF of using stink bombs against the Palestinians?

I'd like to see this petition hit 100k signatures: petitions.whitehouse.gov...< br />
Would be interesting to see the White House response, although my guess is they would just ignore it.
Americans, especially, like to root for the underdog. Israel is clearly the bully here so most Americans, I would think, would side with Palestine. Of course, being Jewish would probably change that dramatically, although there are lots of Jewish people out there who lobby for Palestine.
The whole thing is a huge mess.

I didn't create it actually, and I'm fairly certain the part about it having to be in ink is false now. That web page was created by the White House themselves - petitions.whitehouse.gov...
Supposedly they'll respond to any petition that gets the signatures.
But I could reassure him that I had indeed met people with iPhones, Galaxy tablets, and wearing branded clothing. I even visited a beauty salon-cum-gym, where women could grab a haircut, a mani-pedi, work out on exercise machines or attend an aerobics class.
And I spent a night in one of the fanciest hotels in Gaza, where the restaurant served fillet steak with cream sauce at Tel Aviv prices, and a whole roast lamb with rice and an array of trimmings could be pre-ordered for a hefty NIS 2,600 ($740).
So what is the significance of all these apparent riches in such an unlikely setting? The answer is simple: absolutely none.
In any impoverished country around the world, any war zone, amid any humanitarian crisis, these pockets of luxury can and will be found. Western journalists like to sleep at night between crisp sheets, especially if they're on expenses (I certainly do); there are always powerbrokers with the money to buy fancy cars for themselves and plush toys for their children, regardless of the situation outside their privileged orbit.

Palestinians were kicked off their homeland in our time while the UN is was fully functioning.
while what happened in the deep past we have nothing to change.
So Right Now it is the world responsibility to do justice for the Palestinians to get their homeland back free and clear.
An independent poll conducted in 2003 with the Palestinian populations of Gaza, West Bank, Jordan and Lebanon showed that the majority (54%) would accept a financial compensation and a place to live in West Bank or Gaza in place of returning to the exact place in modern-day Israel where they or their ancestors lived (this possibility of settlement is contemplated in the Resolution 194). Only 10% said they would live in Israel if given the option.

the refugees according to Israelie sources were 700,000 palestinians in 1948. Manay Palestinians continued to be evicted by the Israelis throughout the years. According to Palestinians sources the evicted Palestinians in 1948 were 1.3 millions.
9 million Palestinians live around the world as refugees)(only from the Father side) not counting from the motherside and
not counting the 5 millions who still live in the West Bank and Gaza.
They want their homeland back to rest, and they want the theives to leave since they don,t want to live with the thiefe in one house.
Today, the term refers primarily to the patrilineal descendants of Arab refugees originating in the Mandate, as per the UNRWA definition. In 2012, the number of registered patrilineal descendants of the original Palestine refugees, based on the UNRWA registration requirements, is estimated to be 4,950,000.[2][3][4][5] The number of original Palestine refugees has declined from 711,000 in 1950[1] to approximately 30 to 50,000 in 2012.

The number of actual refuges declined what you are counting is children. the number of claimants increase every year the Palestinians population growth is through the roof. oficially there is currently 1.5 million Palestinians live in 58 recognized Palestine refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
