“Technical Error” My A$$

A young boy weeps during today's funeral in Beit Hanoun (Ali Ali/EPA)

This is probably the lamest excuse ever, and for what?

Ehud Olmert [Israeli Prime Minister] today blamed the artillery shelling which killed 18 Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip yesterday on a “technical error” and called for an urgent meeting with Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian President, to whom he pledged to “offer a lot”.

Are the lives of human beings, no matter what the conflict is, that cheap? Can you justify killing on a “technical error.” And now he wants to sit down and talk, just because this action cause massive unrest in Palestine?

When will the world wake up and stop buying this sh*t?

I wish there was something i can do. It sucks to just watch what is happening in the world and feel so …. madri… numb i guess is the word i’m looking for.. its like you watch the news but you cant do much about it and over time you feel numb. nothing affects you, you shrug things off like whatever, why waste my anger on their political games.

As for the palestinian cause :s i dont understand how world community can turn a blind eye on a people suffering for so long when they can easily improve the situation :s

(u serisouly should choose and easier name to type :))
its a shame that its only arabs who speak about it, and even a bigger shame that we dont do anything about it.
the world community wouldnt do anything, cause this has been going on forever, and most people dont really understand what going on.

I know it was my second comment & It was not a “Technical Error” in my brain processor or something

It was a response to MSB’s message

Palestinians should convert en masse to Judaism, emigrate to Israel as returning Jews, get free food and housing, register to vote, join the IDF and get the latest US weapons, and take over the Israeli government. Inshallah.
