I selected the following photos to sum up all that can be said to describe the Israeli massacre in Gaza today and what we expect to see very soon.

First, peace! What peace?
The Israeli terrorist war machines used 60 jet fighters to attack Gaza and drop 100 ton of explosives there. The operation was concluded in two minutes:
A new world record in massacring people in one day. Congratulations to Israel (I mean it, congratulations for winning the bloody record):
Israeli citizens watching with JOY and taking memorial photos of their terrorist attack on Gaza:
The casualties: 225 killed (including ten of children and toddlers, and still counting) and more than 700 injured, hundreds of them in critical condition. The Israeli terrorist state chose the peak hour in Gaza – while kids are returning home from school – to cause maximum death:
Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank went demonstrating against the Israel terrorist crimes in Gaza and attacked Israeli terrorists with stones. Reports indicated that all fractions between political parties vanished during these demonstrations, which included Hamas and Fatah supporters who attacked Israel's terrorist army side by side.
And finally, Palestinian President, Mr. Mahmoud Abbas was drinking Arabian coffee in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Enjoy it Mr. President!

Thanks so much for assembling these photos. I am shocked at the turn of events, Haitham. I know I should be used to it by now, but the depths of depravity that Israel sinks to never seems to know a limit.
First, they hold an entire area captive, in a siege that (my history studies) tell me was last done in medieval times against fortresses. Not allowing human beings freedom of movement is bad enough, but denying them to obtain essential things for living will reduce them to desperation. And the world looked on, and in cases JUSTIFIED what Israel has been doing to the innocent people of Gaza (guilty of voting for Hamas? guilty of existing, actually.)
Now, to bomb the living daylights out of these people who have suffered every kind of torture that Israel and the world has decided to make them go through, is criminal. And, you mention that it was done when children were in the streets is almost beyond criminal, if that is possible, it is absolutely evil.
But, they will only reinforce the steadfastness of this brave people, and Inshallah, they will overcome this and rise up, all palestinians united as one, and will take the freedom they deserve.
I am sure Israel will, and very soon come to US Congress and the new Obama administration and ask for replineshment of the weapons and ammunitions it used to murder so many innocent people. One thing for sure, the Jewish terrorist machine prove it is very effecient. When Jews and Israelis die it is terrorism and all are innocent including the soldiers who shoot and kill, the pilots who drops the 1000 lb.bombs. When Palestinian die, they are collateral damage and are guilty as charge of simply being a Palestinian. The Jewish terrorist machine will never stop until such time the life of a Palestinian equel the life of an Israeli Jew. However the attack on Gaza was not an Israeli crime only, it is an Arab crime as well. When the Egyptian foreign minister gives the Israeli foreign minister as high "five" every knew the deal was struck and Tel-Aviv got the blessings from Cairo to teach the guys in Gaza a lesson they never forget. If Abbas and his government have any sense of dignity and shame he will hand over the keys of the Occupation to Tel-Aviv. If Mishal has any sense of dignity and shame he too will hand over the keys to his masters in Damascus. Only a massive civil and unarmed uprising till the end of the occupation will do. However that requires a different leadership than the reckless, irresponsible leadership the Palestinians have now will do. As for Israel the Jews of all people should remember no one, not even a Jew will ever get away with murder. The Jews taught us and the world that no one should ever get away with murder and they are right. Never forget.

Important effort to bring those photo's down on the net. It really brings the pain feelings.
Sick. Those coward were just sick master-massmurderrer.
Salam from Indonesia.
of course, there are two sides to every story, no?
No, not this story. This is a one side story… Occupation and Racism from Israel facing the Right to Resist and Liberate the Palestinian land. ALL THE LAND, FROM RIVER TO THE SEA.
I encourage everyone to collect and keep a copy of all photos that one can find and redistribute in any form (slide , video, etc.).

Thank you so much, Haitham, for the photos.
Here in the West, our media gives us a false sense of things over in the Middle East. If we dare question anything, we are quickly labeled "anti-Israel" or whatever. But I do thank you for sharing your photos with us. And Mary Rizzo hit the nail on the head, It is criminal what Israel is doing and allowed to do.
I pray for the Palestinians to one day have peace and respect from all people.

The silence of the arab nations as well as the United Nations is deafening. We have noticed over the years that the United Nations acts very quickly to protect the interests of the West when resources need to be plundered in areas like Dafur, the DRC, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The humiliation of the Palestinian people by these Zionists recieves only lip service from the leaders of the world, particularly the United Nations. An establishment that was created supposedly to protect civilians and prevent war has failed dismally over the issue of Palestine.
The Palestinians are, and have always been, the victims of Zionist aggression. We, therefore fully support Hamas and the Palestinian people in their quest to save Palestine from the Zionist plot to steal their lands and destroy their people.
We would also urge you to continue publishing such photos showing the carnage that is being perpetrated by the cowardly 3rd largest military force in the world, with the collaboration of Britain and the United States.
Hamas and Palestine will survive these attacks and Palestine will be free, INSHA-ALLAH!

Israeli is forfeiting its right to exist by its own actions.
It is committing the very same atrocities against the Palestinians that jews were once the victims of.
free Palestine!

@dan zuckerman –
Yes, there are of course two sides of the coin – one is Israeli barbaric occupation and other is Arab kingdoms supporting Israeli occupation.
The world can no longer afford to "play nice" with Israel……….we must all stop being politically correct and just call the DIRTY JEWS what they are, all of them are DIRTY JEWS.
my word is to Mr Abbas, am sure that israel comunity is proud of you for your help, good work Mr president, drink the arabian coffee of humiliation.
