This is taken from the embedded article from figures released by the UN......

Of the injured, 2,596 people were hospitalized in government hospitals, 773 in nongovernment hospitals and the rest were treated in the field. Of those in government hospitals, 1,499 were hit by live ammunition, 107 by sponge-tipped bullets, 408 suffered gas inhalation and 582 suffered other injuries; 2,142 were adults and 454 were minors.

If this was taking place anywhere else in the Middle East the US/UK/EU criminals would be sending in their ‘Freedom Bombs’.

It’s a tragedy and a disgrace!

We only have to look to Syria to see the truth of your statement.

Yeah Assad and his military are saints. Never hurt an innocent civilian. Don,t get me wrong I want him to remain in power. I think he is doing an exemplary job and without him the country will fall into chaos. See Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. 3rd world countries need strong dictators to maintain a semblance of order. But you are either naive or stupid to go through life thinking they are saints. More like a necessary evil.

The bloodshed will continue without MSM coverage until they have killed off/displaced all Palestinians. @tremendospercy has it right....the US/UK/EU criminals will continue to support this apartheid while bombing women and children in neighbouring countries.

I still cannot believe we are watching ethnic cleansing happen, in real time, in the age of information, and no one is batting an eye.

It's both heartbreaking and difficult to comprehend how this is still going on!! How people can't see it, why they refuse to acknowledge it. I guess it's compunded by the fact that you hear literally zero about it on any form of msm news! Thank you for trying to make a difference @lyndsaybowes

Thanks PF, yes as we well know, if it were blazing on the so-called 'news' everywhere, people would care a WHOLE LOT all of the sudden!!!

Yes my friend, to a degree this kind of feeds into our discussion the other day ... indeed, much like our manufactured culture .. people even need to be told what to care about and where to focus their attention. :(

I hope our demonstrations will waken other people up...its not fixing the whole thing ... but at least starts and developes other waves of unsatisfaction...
Thank you for having such a preoccupation @lyndsaybowes

Thank you SO much for standing up and taking action! All of our voices together, united, can stop the genocide! It worked in South Africa #BDS we can make it work for Palestine.

Pray for gaza ;((

As always I thank you for covering this.

There was an excellent article recently posted by Mint Press News written by Miko Peled (former IDF soldier and son of an Israeli general). The Abby Martin videos in the comments section posted by @libertyacademy are also a must see.

Thank you very much @cattledog.

Great post

Israeli army are obviously showing tremendous restraint against the Palestinian terrorists, in order to protect the Palestinian civilians who are not so innocent or it would have been 5511 dead and 40 wounded, not the other way round. When will you idiots wake up to the true facts.
