http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/03/israel-air-strike-un-school-gaza-rafah Gaza school attack denounced as 'criminal act' by UN Lt. Col. Peter Lerner. Israeli spokesperson. Lt. Col Peter Lerner is lying (again). It seems that Israeli forces targeted 3 militants on a motor cycle. In an interview shown on Aljazeera Television, Lerner says that the extensive damage to the UN school and the deaths of at least 10 Palestinians, was probably as a result of the "militants" carrying explosives. The UN school was being used as a shelter for 3000 civilians. United Nations school sheltering displaced people

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israelgaza-conflict-at-least-100-dead-in-24-hours-in-rafah-9644624.html At least 100 dead in 24 hours in Rafah 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin Now that the authorities have established that 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin was in fact killed in action, rather than being "kidnapped" by Hammas or any of the other Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza, will we now see some sort of apology from Obama, Ban Ki-Moon, Cameron or any of the western leaders who were so quick to leap onto the band wagon of "condemning in the strongest terms" or "demanding the immediate unconditional release", or any of the other frenzied clamour which filled our media and news reports for most of yesterday? Somehow, I doubt it, as the purpose of the hysteria has now been fulfilled. Obama, Cameron and the other pro Israel leaders, were able to divert atte...
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, the Israeli Defence Forces spokesman lied during television interview. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner IDF Spokesman Yesterday, 1st August 2014, I wrote, under the title of “Israel has a very warped understanding of a ceasefire", a Blog post criticising Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, the Israeli Defence Forces spokesman for essentially lying when being interviewed on the breakdown of the ceasefire in Gaza. This criticism generated some response, not least in the Huffington Post where one poster using the name Bjorn (Bjorn_Ag), wrote Unless you are aware of the terms of the agreement how can you define the destruction of the tunnels as 'aggression'? Do you know the terms of the agreement? To suggest that one side would be allowed to continue with aggression whilst the other be expected to remain subservient, suggests that you don't. The alternative of course is that Ham as failed to read the agreement properly before signing it. How st...
Heavy Israeli shelling in Rafah in southern Gaza has killed at least 40 Palestinians Israeli tanks opened fire in the southern Rafah area At 8 AM local time this morning, the ceasefire brokered by John Kerry, Bank-in Moon, and the United Nations representative in Tel Aviv, came into effect. Some three hours later, the ceasefire, heralded to last for 72 hours, broke down with Israeli artillery and tank fire continuing the destruction of suburbs in Gaza, and in those three hours killing more than 40 Palestinian civilians. The world should not be surprised that this ceasefire arrangement heralded on the television media around the world only yesterday afternoon should be shattered so quickly after its introduction. The ceasefire arrangements provided for Israeli soldiers to remain within Gaza and to continue their program of destroying so-called terror tunnels without any firm assurances from the Israelis to allow food water blankets and other humani...
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2014/07/gaza-un-school-hit-201473041918975321.html Israeli shelling hits another Gaza UN school killing at least 20 civilians Jabaliya refugee camp one of the most deprived and densely populated areas in Gaza Another UN school being used as shelter for civilians in Gaza has been bombed by the Israeli forces. It is reported that at least 20 civilians have been killed. The school is in the Jabalia refugee camp and was attacked by tanks and aircraft. Yesterday I blogged that the Israeli intention is to completely flatten Gaza and drive the Palestinians into the sea. Last nights indiscriminate bombardment brings the toll to at least 1250 Palestinians killed with thousands more injured, the majority of which are civilians and of those there are at least 300 children. This genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza, has been continuing in its present intensity for over three weeks, with complete destruction...
