    That really bothers me. Whatever is going on in Israel, Canadian citizens (no matter who they support) should not be treated like that.

    Because there's no reason to, at least not here where I believe everybody's in basic agreement about Hamas. If someone here was singing praise to Hamas then I'd have no problem cutting them down. But there's not, so why waste time preachin to the choir?

    So, it was a Hamas rocket that hit UNRWA school? No way.

    Everyone figured that, so there's no reason to say anything about it.

    but an errant IDF artillery shell also may have hit the facility,

    However, if even one of the explosions was a result of Hamas rockets, which seems to be the case, foreign media will have to throw up their hands in surrender to their constant attempt to show Israel as a mass murderer of innocent children.

    Israel has made it clear that Hamas is responsible for any and all deaths.



    Yeah, the Jewish Press sounds like a completely reliable and unbiased observer.

    Exactly my thought reading that piece. That article reads like it was written by a government propagandist.

    Folks, could we maybe look for slightly more objective sources for our news updates here? No offense to The Times of Israel, The Jewish Press, the pro-Israel blogger and the Sun News (aka Fox News North), but the sources some of you guys keep linking ain't exactly known for impartiality on this issue.

    Honey, there isn't one single impartial source out there these days.

    Everyone has an agenda.

    Sorry, but they don't all have a slant as laughably transparent as that last piece you posted. You can certainly do better than that for a news update.

    I'm quite willing to buy the notion that Hamas is guilty of bombing the school, but the evidence need to come from a better source.

    Do you have a list of acceptable publications/sources?
