so there were no stone throwing and things like that .....

Have seen no pcitures of that, but it is possible.

Never know that throwing a stone gives the IDF the right to fire with tanks and/or helicopters on a demonstration.

BE PROUD ON THE IDF DEFENDING THEMSELVES.

Regards,

Paul

Israel shows 'disregard for human life' in Rafah: EU presidency

DUBLIN (AFP) - Irish Foreign Minister Brian Cowen, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency, condemned Israel's military operation in Rafah as "reckless disregard for human life."

"It is clear that today's action was completely disproportionate to any threat faced by the Israeli military and that Israeli forces showed a reckless disregard for human life," he said Wednesday.

At least 10 Palestinians were killed and around 50 were wounded Wednesday when Israeli forces opened fire on a demonstration against a massive military operation in the southern Gaza refugee camp of Rafah

However, Israeli media reported the toll was much higher. “Twenty-two Palestinians were killed, among them women and children. More than 50 were wounded,” said the Y-net Web site of the best-selling newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. The Jerusalem Post gave a similar toll.
