    "…seem to be a more sophisticated version of the ball-bearings or nails and bolts which armed groups often pack into crude rockets and suicide bombs,” Amnesty said in a report at the time. [emphasis added]

    Looking at you, Hamas.

      Don’t you think it’s crass to take an article about children maimed by Israeli bombs as an opportunity to talk about Hamas?

        Why would it be crass to speak of what the parents of these children do to other children?

        Frankly there is not enough News about the daily, sometimes hourly, rocket attacks against Israeli civilians. Regardless of anything you believe in, civilians on both sides are being injured and killed over this bullshit holy war and Every single fucking one of the people responsible should be called out at all times and held to account.

        Any other option shows your true colours and they aren’t pretty ones.

          I see, in your eyes all Palestinians are terrorists, and the kids deserve to die, because they will grow up terrorists. You just found out how generalisation and dehumanisation work.

            I see you failed elementary English because I said nothing of the sort.

            The fact of the matter is I said:

Regardless of anything you believe in, civilians on both sides are being injured and killed over this bullshit holy war and Every single fucking one of the people responsible should be called out at all times and held to account.

            I also said this:

            Use that brain of yours and do some reflecting on those ugly colours you are showing to the world.

              Seriously how many Israeli civilians have died since the beginning of the war and how many Palestinians? Or how many Israelis homes and how many Palestinian homes have been destroyed. Or how many Israeli an Palestinian kids died, got maimed or starved?

              Palestinians were treated inhumanely long before this war ha started. Please open the webpage of any human rights organisation and check what they think of the situation in Gaza and the West bank before the war. I dare you to provide me with a single link of such organisation that is portraying Israel’s government as the good guys here, who are doing everything possible to find a peaceful solution.

              Heck even the US started sanctioning settlers who are constantly terrorising Palestinians in the West bank.

              Use that brain of yours and do some reflecting on those ugly colours you are showing to the world.

              And please use this brain of yours and truthfully answer me, how would you feel if you were on the other side of the fence. Even in the West bank, because I am pretty sure you wouldn’t be happy either.

                Honest question: Are you mentally disabled?

                I ask because I specifically and explicitly called out the Israeli Government, Lukid, and said they were fucking monsters so I can see no other reason why you would be confused short of a mental impairment.

                I am sorry that Israel has been at war since its inception and thus developed massive defensive infrastructure in response to countless attacks leaving their civilian population relatively unharmed in comparison to who they retaliate against.

                Maybe if the PLO and Hamas stopped with their bullshit and did the same they would have a better position to fight a real war instead of what they are doing now. Since the PLO specifically is considered the Government of the Palestinian people by numerous countries, maybe they can start specifically with removal of the Martyr fund. Preferably with the fund being payed out to the victims and families of the attacks instead of the families of the “heroes”.

                Or did you not know that was a thing?

                To make it super clear as words are not your strong suit:

                Fuck the Likud Party. Fuck the PLO. Fuck Hamas. Fuck every single person who supports either in their monstrous actions, including and especially, you.

            Thanks for taking that out of context and accusing me of such things when I made it very clear what my stance was and who the problems are.

            Pro tip: Useful idiots do best when their mouths remain shut. I hope someone you know finds that tip useful.

                When “people” are being useful idiots I tell them. If one wants to have a reasonable conversation they should educate themself on the thousands year old conflict before opening their mouth about it instead of attacking one sentence of a comment.

                I am not being insulting, I am making observations. If those observations insult you that is a you problem.

                Change what is observable if you don’t like it.

            Have anything to say that my own mother didn’t tell me as a child?

            You seem like the type of person who has a lot of “uncles”. Try being more original so that hopefully your mother can stop regretting not swallowing your dumb ass instead of taking the train to the pelvis and not knowing who your father is.

          It’s not a Holy War. It’s colonization, apartheid, and genocide.

          Why don’t you show us all the Israeli civilians who are being killed by these rockets? There isn’t enough news about that because it’s not happening. Israelis are enjoying themselves being the evil monsters they are raping, torturing, and murdering Palestinians. And Palestinians are just being slaughtered. This isn’t a war, it’s a genocide.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Israeli-made weapons designed to spray high levels of shrapnel are causing horrific injuries to civilians in Gaza and disproportionately harming children, foreign surgeons who worked in the territory in recent months have told the Guardian.

    The doctors say many of the deaths, amputations and life changing wounds to children they have treated came from the firing of missiles and shells – in areas crowded with civilians – packed with additional metal designed to fragment into tiny pieces of shrapnel.

    Volunteer doctors at two Gaza hospitals said that a majority of their operations were on children hit by small pieces of shrapnel that leave barely discernible entry wounds but create extensive destruction inside the body.

    Sanjay Adusumilli⁩, an Australian surgeon who worked at the al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza in April, recovered shrapnel made up of small metal cubes about three millimetres wide while operating on a young boy.

    “They appear designed to cause maximum injury and, in some respects, seem to be a more sophisticated version of the ball-bearings or nails and bolts which armed groups often pack into crude rockets and suicide bombs,” Amnesty said in a report at the time.

    Many of the cases recalled by the surgeons involved children severely injured when missiles landed in or near areas where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are living in tents after being driven from their homes by the Israeli assault.
