GAZA: The Killing of Palestinians by Israeli SOLDIERS Continues on... 108 DEAD IN 16 days

The United Nations wrote that Israel has engaged in “massive and wanton destruction of property” in Gaza.

A pathetic response from the United States:

U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said thursday that the United States hopes that Israel can end the Gaza operation “as soon as possible.”

"..they should do it in a manner that concludes as quickly as possible and that minimizes any loss of civilian life or humanitarian Consequences.”

ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL RESPONSE WITH UTTER DISRESPECT FOR THE 108 INNOCENT LIVES LOST IN JUST 16 DAYS FROM THE ISRAELI MILITARY HARDWARE FUNDED BY THE ONLY SUPERPOWER IN THE WORLD.

Since the Sept. 29 start of the Israeli campaign, 108 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds wounded.

Among the dead were dozens of civilians, including 18 children.

Israeli tanks and bulldozers have left behind a wide swath of destruction in northern Gaza, damaging houses, tearing up water pipes and knocking down electricity poles as they charge through narrow alleys of densely populated areas.

In an 18-page report obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday, the United Nations wrote that Israel has engaged in “massive and wanton destruction of property” in Gaza. The report, written before the current Gaza operation, said that while some of Israel’s actions can be explained by security concerns, many cannot.

The Israeli government said the report, to be presented to the U.N. General Assembly later this month, does not address the actions of Palestinian militants, including smuggling weapons into Gaza and sending suicide bombers into Israel.

U.S. urges quick end to offensive.

In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Thursday that the United States hopes that Israel can end the Gaza operation “as soon as possible.”

He said that while the United States recognizes Israel’s right to self defense, “they should do it in a manner that concludes as quickly as possible and that minimizes any loss of civilian life or humanitarian consequences.”

The Israeli offensive focused on the Jebaliya refugee camp and the towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza.
