Aug 2014

according to what they saw. He said all was quiet as they were watching Israeli tanks maneuvering, then they suddenly began shelling.

It's the Aussie on CNN, Karl Penhaul; he even had video.

Now Regev is on there scrambling to do damage control with Wolfie. So much doublespeak, if it wasn't so sad and outrageous, it'd be funny.

35 more Palestinians killed now, more than one hundred wounded, 3 hours after the ceasefire began this morning.


IDF now reporting that an Israeli soldier has been taken prisoner. His family has been notified. Two other IDF soldiers killed.

Heavy shelling happening now down at Rafah.

Shit is about to hit the fan within the next few hours. The ceasefire is over.

Israeli soldiers were clearing a tunnel when they cornered two Hamas fighters. One of them detonated a suicide bomb. This happened one and a half hours into the ceasefire.



Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions
Free Palestine!
