Synopsis? And who said or wrote the title quote?

Come to think of it, unless she's screaming in English, or the video is subtitled, I guess I wouldn't have understood it anyway.

This happens on DU videos for seveal reasons, and at times the channel wants you to go to youtube for revenue. Good luck.

I've hit that before and always assumed it was a connectivity issue on my end, with me just not having enough available bandwidth or somesuch.

Shows how Hamas is using civilians to shield their rockets, the Palestinian woman is complaining out Hamas' leaders are never around, they are hding.

Also shows Hamas spokesmen bragging about their true goals.

16. Strange that some of the Gazans agree with the woman a the end of the OP video:

In this video where the man who lost his sons and grandsons who lost his sons and grandsons says,'All the 'true Muslims' that are standing by not here with us.' .

(Paraphased by me, not the exact words.)

And the exact words, 'God punish all the Arab nations' said over and over again by the angry, brave woman running down the street is the same sentiment. The people of Gaza are being sacrificed by those who claim to care about them.

I have found some of the videos to be pure propaganda pieces from both sides.

But this one, which shows more than one view, and the one with the doctor from Norway and of the wounded chidlren in the hospital, are the most credible ones.

Even though the speakers were not talking in English, I don't feel they were coached or ignorant. Like I said, this one actually bolsters the OP video as they blame Hamas for not being there for them when all of this is going down.

I feel that Hamas is a proxy for someone, and that Israel is too. These people are not hateful savages, they are very civilized and modern to my eyes, trying to leave in peace.

I may be all wrong. The only thing not in dispute is that no one should have to live with this!

As of late, I'm starting to wonder if the Israeli artillery commanders are just playing games of Arabic scrabble and whenever they manage to spell a street name they shell it.

Israel has stolen land from the Palestinians since the late 60s. It's to the point now that all Palestinians have is a small strip that's nothing more than a ghetto.

You don't get to be a bully, then cry oppression when someone fights back.

Should they also give back to Native Americans and Mexico all the land grabbed by white people?
