KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) - Squatting in the rubble, his briefcase perched atop his knees, the human rights researcher interviewed residents of a house shelled by Israel as he compiled a list of Gazans killed and wounded during Israel's offensive against Hamas.

Yasser Abdel Ghafar's work is part of a painstaking endeavor by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights to count the casualties of the 23-day war. The group released a final tally Wednesday, saying 1,284 Gazans were killed and 4,336 wounded, the vast majority civilians.

War is never a good choice....

But I do wish the Palestianians would just grow some balls and reject Hamas....

In a way one could say the Hamas grew some balls and rejected opression by Israel.

Not taking sides just an observation from another viewpoint.

Or you could say that Israel used some balls and rejected being rocket-bombed...



It's time to let them sort this out.

Well actually I'm more Pro-Palestianian than pro-Israel....

So its not another viewpoint...I just think Hamas is more of a stumbling block than Israel...
