the war continues in israel with the palestinians
cwnewz.com - Over 1,000 people have now been killed in Gaza. "Atleast 1,000 Palestinians have now been killed in a 19-day-old Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip. On Wednesday, January 14 is when it reached that number. This includes hundreds of civilians." Hamas-run Health Ministry officials in the enclave said.

The figures, in common with previous counts, are subject to the difficulties of counting and verification in the chaos of the war. No firm casualty toll for Palestinians has been given by the Israeli officials and they say hundreds of militants have been killed by troops.

On Wednesday, at least 10 people, including at least four militants, were killed, medics said. Bodies were also found from attacks in the past. The total death toll was then taken to 1,010, said Muawiyah Hassanein, head of the ministry's ambulance service.

The Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights said it had compiled figures showing that 673 civilians had died since Israel's air campaign was launched on Dec. 27. These numbers included 69 women and 225 children. The health ministry said about 400 women and children were among the dead earlier this week.

More than half Gaza's 1.5 million people are under the age of 18.

Hundreds of Hamas members were killed in air strikes in the first days of the war. Although some argue that many were police officers whose main functions were civilian, Isreal regards all of these militants.

Israel says nine soldiers have been lost in a ground offensive that began on Jan. 3. Four were lost to a "friendly fire". And a 10th soldier along with three Israeli civilians were killed in southern Isreal, in the first week of the war, by Hamas rockets.

Israel says it launched the offensive to halt rocket fire that had already killed 18 people between 2001 and the start of the air campaign. It says it is trying to avoid civilian casualties.

Calls for an immediate ceasefire has been led by The United Nations.

Israel is an IMMANENT THREAT to Humanity. Israel is armed with every WMD known to man including 2-400 secret Nuclear warheads built with material STOLEN from America. Israel is insane from 3,500 years of "biblically mandated" inbreeding, Israel Threatens LIFE on Earth. Israel believes they are the "Chosen People of GOD". That belief alone should be a warning flag to any NON-Jew. Jews believe that to BE a Jew, The parents must BOTH be Jewish, the mother determines that one IS a Jew, the father determines which "tribe" one belongs to. They INVENTED "Eugenics"......."This belief has led to mental illness from inbreeding. These people now are engaging in GENOCIDE and declaring it to be "justified" under THEIR religious beliefs. Today, Gaza, tomorrow they NUKE Europe !? Israel is engaging in War Crimes and Aggressive War against non-Jews, whom they denigrate and DEHUMANIZE as GENTILES, GOYIM, SISHKAS.

Why Are You Fearful?

Why Are You Fearful?
Christian Web News - Jesus has a way of getting right to the point, doesn't He? There was certainly no mincing of words, He came right out and said, "why are you fearful?" and then went on to say, "O you of little faith." You don't have to read between the lines to see what He was saying, they had little faith.
