1. Dozens Injured at Hamas Camp

A huge explosion at a training camp for Hamas militants in northern Gaza wounded more than 60 people, including women and children, on Thursday night, Hamas officials said. The military wing of Hamas, the Islamic group that controls Gaza, said in a statement that the blast was caused by an Israeli missile left over from the war last summer. But Iyad al-Buzom, a spokesman for the Interior of Ministry in Gaza, described it in a Facebook post more vaguely as an “internal explosion.” Witnesses said the blast, in Beit Lahiya, damaged nearby houses and caused power failures in the area.

2. More likely a Hamas work accident than Israeli missile left over...

Even as your article attempts to blame Israel .

More importantly is what were children doing at a Hamas military installation ?

5. Likely they were in the houses that were also damaged by the explosion

It was evidently a big blast.

That's what bombs do, after all.

8. Yep that makes sense ...

[oberliner]

9. Weird how some folks unquestioningly believe the Hamas party line

But almost always assume the Israeli government is lying with whatever they put out.

[King_David]

10. This clearly was Hamas accident

And some people don't care about the fact that children were injured as long as Israel can be blamed.

The injury to these innocent Gaza Children is just horrible....

3. Shameless kick. And thank you for the recs. This is horrible. nt.

[King_David]

4. Yes its absolutely horrible nt

[polly7]

6. Yeah .......... somehow I don't really feel your sorrow for these people.

You mad?

[King_David]

7. Don't quite get what you saying

Are you saying that you have no sorrow for these injured children?

[Scootaloo]

11. He's pointing out we have no reason to believe your sorrow is sincere

I don't believe it is, either.

Why?

Well, because I've seen no shortage of whites profess to be very concerned about "black-on-black crime." These same people, of course, usually have no concern whatsoever for the rampant police brutality and over-sentencing that disproportionately affects black and brown people. In fact they use "black-on-black crime" to justify exactly that!

Similarly, it seems that you are only concerned with the lives of Palestinian, when you can blame other Palestinian for what happens to them. You're not the least bit concerned with what Israel does to Palestinians - in fact you apparently support every instance of violence and oppression. and you then try to use "Palestinian-on-Palestinian crime" to justify that support.

Of course, maybe this time you really mean it. Maybe this time you care. I suppose i'll never know. But nobody here has any cause to take you at your word this time. After all, we've never seen anything but support from you when the very same people are being bombed, missiled, shot, bulldozed, or otherwise harmed by Israel by the thousands, year after year after year. Yet here you are suddenly deeply concerned about fifty people. Why?
