The developed world -- and IIDB -- is mostly divided into two camps re: the Israel-Hamas conflict.
One camp soundly condemns Hamas terrorism and believes Israel's Defense Force should take the steps necessary to prevent further attacks. This camp has strong support in the U.S.A., throughout Europe, and in Israel itself.
The other camp also condemns Hamas terrorism but is intent on vengeance. The number of Palestinian deaths from Israel's rampages is already 20 times the Palestinian toll; huge numbers of homes in Gaza and vast infrastructure have been destroyed; the homeless toll is up to 2 million; and Israeli atrocities continue. Hospitals are without blood and other supplies. Children are literally starving to death or dying of thirst. Israeli soldiers fire on innocent women and children. Could they be taking their cue from the Old Testament where Yahweh commanded King Saul to destroy his enemies and not spare women or children? Defenders of these atrocities shrug their shoulders and say "Maybe those 2-year old babies were innocent; so what? If left to grow up they'd probably become terrorists: A stitch in time saves nine."
Rational observers understand that Israeli atrocities will just prolong and increase terrorism. The hate-filled anti-Palestinian ilk who support Israel's atrocities surely understand this. Perhaps this prospect pleases them: The more terrorists that Israel can breed, the more future massacres there can be to assuage this perverse blood-lust.
At least nine people killed in attack on aid distribution vehicle, according to Palestinian media.
