Hamas, of course, never commits any war crimes. Shooting rockets at cities, kidnapping people, using the civilian population as human shields... that is all A OK. Nobody raises any eyebrowes about that.

50,000 per cellphone?? What is this? Insurance padding by NTT? Or were they gold-plated?

Erdogan reveals himself as the islamist fanatic that he is. He repeats the islamist talking points (like jeancolmar does here), and ignores reality.
How does he want Israel to respond to Hamas aggression? He does not tell. The implication is that Isreal must cease to exist, as Hamas states in its charter.

How many times have had these "mistook accelerator for brake" accidents now, and not only in Japan?
This never used to happen with manual cars. Simple: If you panic and push two pedal, one of them is going to stop or disconnect the drive.
Ergo: Senile folks should not be allowed to drive automatic cars, period. The design, while convenient, is a accident waiting to happen.

Looks like a hoikushou; the just need the yellow caps.
Now, my respect to these Hollywooders if the stand up to the job and take care of these kids until they are grown.
More likely though, the´ll be scattered again with the next celebrity divorce, which is most likely just around the corner.

Anodyne:
Absolutely. Whenever the Americans shoot at anyone in Afghanistan, the victims will always be reported as "civilians", haven´t you noticed that yet? Doesn´t matter if they were civilians shooting rocket launchers or packing themselves with dynamite vests, they are always "civilians".
And that playbook won´t change under Obama, sorry folks.

Obamas war is going splendidly, as we see.
Can´t wait to see the 30,000 addition troops that Lord Obama promised rolling, to great protest of the very president Karzai that they are to prop up.

Good job! Alas, he is a "youth" and will therefore get away with a slap on the wrist.

This swooning about Lord Obama is getting embarrassing. When will the pundits discover that he can´t walk on water?

Likeitis:
What are you talking about? Egypt keeps its border to Gazah locked (although it turns a blind eye to the weapons tunnels.
So, if you condem Israel for "imprisoning" the Gazans, then Egypt is guilty of the same.

Hamas found their uniforms again!
While Israel tried to take them out, they were all "civilians", and duly reported so in the media.
Now, they will be strutting in the streets again, imposing Shariah, and trumpet their "victory" over Israel. How convenient, to be able to morph into civilians any time it gets hot.

The first issue would be to come back to earth and stop pretending to be the second coming.
And that is also an issue for the sycophantic media.

VOR:
Of course intimidation is part of the story. For the same reason, we won´t see any Mohammed cartoons, or even flattering books about Mo... the death threats are never far away.
Still, this is not the only reason. Alas, the Western education system has been shaped so much by political correctness that kids and students don´t even learn about what is out there. Instead, they are indoctrinated to think that the Israeli-Arab conflict is just about land, and the islamic jihaad has nothing to do with it.
And they are too lazy to even read the Hamas Charter, which is quite clear.

Yang Yong:
That is true. But we can blame our media and governments for that, which once again swallowed Hamas´ antisemitic propaganda.
Not a word about Hamas aggression and war crimes, but non-stop reporting about Israel trying to decimate Hamas (which is hiding behind Gaza civilians).
Talk about stupid.
