'We saw legs, heads and hands scattered' - America Threatened
'We saw legs, heads and hands scattered'
Nice Al-Reuters headline and nice how they fail to state that the attack was in response to rockets being fired into Israel from that location. Of course the question remains: did the Israeli rockets malfunction? Remember it is always Israel's fault...that is if it isn't America's fault FIRST.
Beit Hanun, Gaza: Israeli artillery shells killed at least 18 Palestinian civilians in northern Gaza on Wednesday, local officials and witnesses said, prompting swift vows of retaliation from Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
It was the deadliest single Israeli attack on Palestinians in four years.
"We saw legs, we saw heads, we saw hands scattered in the street," said Attaf Hamad, 22, in Beit Hanun, a town in the northern Gaza Strip.
The strike was condemned across Europe and the Middle East. But an initial response by the United States stopped short of reprimanding Israel.
Israeli Defence Minister Amir Peretz ordered an inquiry, and a halt to shelling in Gaza until the investigation was complete. Some of the dead were killed in bed as shells struck seven houses, and others rushed outside but found no safety.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas spoke of a "horrible and ugly massacre".
Khalid Mesha'al, leader of the governing Hamas, urged retaliation.
"All Palestinian groups are urged to activate resistance despite the difficult situation on the ground. Our confidence in our military wing to respond is great," said Mesha'al, who is based in Damascus.
The Islamic Jihad group, which never accepted the ceasefire brokered by Abbas and Egypt, vowed to carry out suicide bombings in response to the Beit Hanun strike.
Hamas's armed wing, decrying Washington's "political and financial support" for Israel, appeared to call on Muslims to attack US targets, urging them "to teach the American enemy harsh lessons".
In a rare show of unity, Abbas and Prime Minister Esmail Haniya of Hamas donated blood together and visited a hospital in northern Gaza treating some of Beit Hanun's 54 wounded.
Isn't that touching. Here's an idea...how about stopping attacking Israel and blaming America? I'm sure blood donations would go WAY DOWN if you did.
