I know many topics about Gaza but....
I know there are already a lot of topics about Gaza and it has been discussed here many times. But am sure you need to watch this report if you haven't yet.
Jonathan Miller's Report about Gaza
I was also particularly struck when Jonathan Miller says: "Our camera cannot hope to convey the enormity of the destruction here. I've covered earthquakes, hurricanes and the tsunami and what has happened here is as bad or worse than anything I've seen in any of those. And this was done by Israeli bulldozers."
We are not Arab and we do not have problems with Israel. Even though there is a Jewish community whose ancestors escaped to our lands (Ottoman Empire) from Spanish Inquisition hundreds of years ago and they are living peacefully in our lands now, what Israel army/government was doing, still doing or will do is unacceptable from my side. I think people, who were defending Israel while they were striking Gaza, shall consider their thoughts again after watching this report. Because you will not be able to defend your country by killing or destroying houses of civilians. You will only get more enemies with the new generations who are 15 years old now. They will be your terrorists after 5 or max 10 years later.
Consequently hopefully this time peace period will be longer and longer and both sides will find logical solutions.
Peace
All I am trying to do is let people know and think for a second at least what is going on there.
‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing’
Well done

There is nothing to do about god with it. If you know there is a good saying. "Guns do not kill people, people kill others with guns." God is not saying Israel army to go and destroy houses or kill people.
"What doesn't kill me; makes me stronger..."
"Just because they born in the wrong time and in the wrong place."
You Mean GOD Did A Mistake...???

Hey Default Nick I think you have done something real good here. I'm from the States and boy I really didn't know the extent of the brutality of Israel. In truth most of us want to cut funding to these criminals.
But fresh and hard for them, every single day they wake up (If they can). It is the same old story to listen "They came and destroyed this family's house in 2004. So they built again to live in. And this is the rest of it after they came with bulldozers." Did you see the wheelchair of disabled boy? We are all humans in the end we can not neglect what is happening there. Anyone of us could born there. We have to push our governments to give their attention there by doing whatever we can do. People just know things from news and they believe what the media says. I was in Dubai in the previous weekend. And they were collecting some money to help Gaza. And guess what they were doing? They were making party, concert, having fun while human beings were dying and believing that they were helping the people of Gaza. Collecting some money sending it to buy more weapons and so on does not seem to be a good solution.
"What doesn't kill me; makes me stronger..."
Default and Mira - very interesting articles and very important not to cease talking about this issue/disseminating information about the war crimes Israel has committed. Well done.
18months of blocked who else can tolerate it except Brave Gazans
put yourself in these people's shoes. Loosing everything they have ... they left practically with nothing. Just because they born in the wrong time and in the wrong place.
Thank you for sharing default Nick, it's objective because clearly the report is not a Palestinian/Christian or Muslim Arab with any political Agenda.
It's someone just stating what is before them.
What Israel does not publish is most of these "tunnels" came into action after they imposed their blockade, denying the Gazans food.
Israel will always have an excuse to warrant their genocide, here is an article from an American Jew,it really defines this point.
If Hamas did not exist:

To think in this day and age that people can so easily toss aside the human devastation that will go on for years. I hear although I was unable to attend the Charity Event at Green Village today was well received. There was also one in Dubai but it was hailed out. I hope our humanity will always make us remember the suffering of others, by the grace of God we could be in their shoes. We went through the first Gulf War and I will never forget the kindness of our neighbors in Kuwait, they loaned us a car, new currency, brought us food and water. The devastation of Gaza is far more than material the psychological devastation will last a life time it either brings out the best or worst in people. Thanks Default for educationing us so alot more work needs to be done in helping them recover their lives.
Same old, same old.....been there, argued the toss....debate has run dry....
