Israeli Dep. Foreign Min. "most of people that were hit in Gaza deserved it."

The Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon has told an American radio station that "most of people that were hit in Gaza deserved it." Mr Ayalon told WNYC's The Takeaway programme that most of the casualties were "armed terrorists". The Takeaway has posted a clip from the interview online. The comments are likely to cause controversy as many civilians, including at least 40 children, have been killed in Gaza since last Wednesday.

They were all terrorists and many wanted to nuke em all, men, women, and children.

Hate and propaganda are powerful tools.

that Isreal considers it a "tragedy" when Palestinian civilians are killed by them. Then he went on to talk about the extraordinary measures Isreal has taken to make cellphone calls and text people to let them know the are about to be shelled. I'm speechless. Where do these people go for safety?
