Why did Israel prevent Red Cross ambulances going to the aid of Palestinian babies... ?

...who were still clinging to their dead and dying mothers after Israeli shelling ?
'The group said the Israeli army refused rescuers permission to reach the site in the Zaytun neighbourhood for four days. Once Red Cross teams reached the area yesterday, they found four small children next to their dead mothers at one home. They were too weak to stand up on their own. One man was also found alive, too weak to stand up. In all, there were at least 12 corpses lying on mattresses.

In another house, a rescue team found 15 survivors, including several wounded. In yet another home, rescuers found three bodies. Israeli soldiers posted at a military position nearby ordered the rescue team to leave the area, which it refused to do'

1. Why did Hamas kill dozens of Palestinians for singing and dancing?

Why do the UN ambulances help Hamas members if they're supposed to be neutral?

Why is the UN not doing anything about Hamas teaching children that they should kill Jews while training them to shoot an M16?

But most importantly - Why are you so biased and don't care about the innocents but only about Hamas winning Israel? And why do you spread lies while it's common knowledge that Israel even treats Palestinians in Israeli hospitals?

michael w, gee, that's funny - Becuse I knew about the UN bombing from the Israeli news even before it was published internationally. Sorry to dissapoint you - But the media in Israel is far more reliable than your Al-Jazeera.

2. cos they are screwed up heartless murderers who have every last drop of decency washed away!!

3. because they want them to die.they are the real terrorist i v ever seen

4. Sure they did.

Why did the Muslims try and conquer Europe and cause a genocide on the Greeks in Constantinople?

5. dark Al has some good points.

6. They must have been late for their curtain call.

It's all for the cameras.

7. Do Hamas care whether their rockets land on babies, women, men, or military installations?

No, thought not.

8. Because that would expose Israel to what they are worth. Imagine using white phosphorous to kill civilians, that would be known to the world.
By the way, its not just the ambulances, they did not even allow UN humanitarian aid and journalists either.
***********
Thanks for the thumbs down. It means I am saying something true that the pro-Israeli's dont want others to know or think about

9. state your facts, i need a link.

10. Probably because they are still in training and not full blown Israeli Nazis yet otherwise they would have gone in and finished everyone and probably celebrated
People who do things like that dont deserve to live
Even ANIMALS dont do such things

11. dark Al Don't talk to me about Propaganda. Have Israel told the people of Israel that their own bombing has killed 315 innocent babies and children to date. Have Israel show on their TV the death and discruction imposed on Gaza. Have the people of Israel even been told about the attack on 3 UN schools Have the people been told of the attack of an aid convoy during a 3 hour truce. Have the people of Israel been told how Israeli troops herded 100 women and children into a house then bombed it killing half of them. Don't tell us about propaganda as Israel are experts at hiding the TRUTH.

12. Because its a war zone where combats are been carried-out. Do you want the IDF to let UN staff in and the red cross in so Hamas terrorist can shot them and put the blame to Israel (again).

Its a WAR not a play, the war field as stated by Hamas is Gaza, Hamas brough the war to their own people.

Israel can not allow civilians where they think it is risky, otherwise, Hamas will kill them and put the blame on Israel

13. Well said Dark Al. Thumbs up.

14. Why did Israel round up 110 civilians and shell their home and murder over 40 of the same family? Why does Israel use Cluster bombs which still kill children in Lebanon? Why does Israel use Phosphor bombs? Why did Israel ram a boat full of physicians and medical products to stop them saving lives. Why does the IDF use civilian Palestinians as human shields including children in their operations? Why does the IDF fire guns and tank shells at palestinian children throwing stones?Why did Israel murder Rachel Corrie, Tom Hurndall and other Christian Peace activists? Why is Israel condemned for allowing blatant white slavery and extreme exploitative pornography to thrive as a national export business? Why do Israeli settlers poison Palestinian Wells, divert clean water and redirect sewage into poverty stricken refugee camps. Why,why,why,why.....because Israeli's are cruel, inhumane, greedy and because Bush and the neo-cons of the USA allow it.

15. I think you will find that they have the Red Crescent in Palestine and not the Red Cross!

16. Would these be the same ambulances that are used by Hams to ferry terrorists around? Funny how you jihadists always skip over that bit..

17. They have too much to hide, they are trying to cover up and remove evidence before outsiders are allowed anywhere near.

18. Back to the "grauniad" (sic)

there are sources you can read that provide a totally unbiased view.

19. You'd like to have your criticism both ways, wouldn't you? It's hard to be critical of the Israelis' stopping ambulances going into a hot zone, and at the same time be critical of them when they do allow them in with the subsequent casualties among the ambulance crew. Sorry, war is a messy business, and the IDF are using their judgment about what's reasonable to risk. There will be errors, of course, but they do try, and under the circumstances, it's hard to nit-pick.

20. You provoke an even larger question. Why are the Palestinians attacking Innocent Israeli children with military rockets? The measures taking place are to end the Hamas assault on Israeli towns targeting civilians. Now, since Gaza is a "War Zone" there is a blockaid on Gaza for security reasons as well as a ban on travel for safety reasons. The window for humanitarian aid is set up for those with proper clearance to pass through. It stands to reason that those organizations which are recognized and registered have a Clearance Pass for entrance. BTW-The article you sited said that "Israel DID let them in." Only delayed for security reasons.

21. watching CNN again huh?

22. Because to the eye of the whole world except the US, Israel is a criminal country. I really do not know why we are having hard time to see it, they slaughter innocent babies and women, they kill civilian on a daily basis. Do you think such a monster will care about Red Cross ambulances?
