that i, an american citizen employed as a teacher's aide, know more about the actions of the israeli military, than the israeli prime minister? this, to me, is highly doubtful. i can only imagine what it would be like to be at work, as the bombs fall on my class. at least i am attempting to imagine it; that is more than i can say for most of my brain dead fellow workers in this "liberal" town.
Israeli Tank Fire Kills 40 at UN School: Medics
by Nidal al-Mughrabi
GAZA - Israeli tank shells killed at least 40 Palestinians on Tuesday at a U.N. school where civilians had taken shelter, medical officials said, in carnage likely to boost international pressure on Israel to halt a Gaza offensive.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said she was looking into information on the incident at al-Fakhora school in Jabalya refugee camp, on the fourth day of a ground assault launched after a week of air strikes failed to end Hamas rocket salvoes.
People cut down by shrapnel lay in pools of blood on the street. Witnesses said two Israeli tanks shells exploded outside the school, killing at least 40 civilians -- Palestinians who had taken refuge there and residents of nearby buildings.
"I am not familiar with the news," Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said, asked by reporters about incident.
