They can't even get the caption right?
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip --Thousands of Israeli troops backed by tanks and helicopter gunships pushed deeper into Gaza Sunday, fighting militants at close range and surrounding the coastal territory's largest city in the first full day of an overwhelming ground offensive....
But spiraling civilian casualties fueled an international outcry, even as the U.S. blocked approval of a U.N. Security Council statement Saturday night calling for an immediate cease-fire....

Gaza officials said at least 31 civilians were killed in the onslaught, which also continued from the air. At one hospital, in the northern village of Beit Lahiya, medics carrying three injured children in their arms rushed them to treatment. One of the children had a blood-soaked bandage wrapped around his head and covering his eyes.

An Israeli airstrike close to Gaza City's main market showered the area with shrapnel, killing three children, all of them siblings, medics said. Militants were using empty land next to the Firas market to fire rockets.

Graphic Video of Israeli Atrocities
Israeli forces killed dozens of armed Hamas gunmen, an army statement said, but Gaza officials could confirm only a handful of dead fighters -- in part because rescue teams could not reach the battle zones. The new deaths brought the death toll in the Gaza Strip to more than 512....
One Israeli soldier died -- the first to be killed in the ground operation -- and 30 others were wounded, some of them in heavy exchanges of fire near the militant stronghold of Jebaliya, a town on Gaza City's northern outskirts, the army said. Heavy Israeli casualties could undermine what has so far been overwhelming public support for the operation.
The pattern is so damn familiar and repetitive it almost wastes time pointing out how the Zionist MSM ALWAYS turns the attention to ISRAEL!
Condemnation of Israel's ground operation poured in from around the Middle East and Europe....
AMERICA, too, but the Jew media won't tell you that!

Yup, Amurka backs Israel! Keep telling yourselves that lie, because the whole world is starting to really, really hate that pile of shit called Iz-ray-HELL!
**************
The ground operation is the second phase in an offensive that began as a weeklong aerial onslaught aimed at halting Hamas rocket fire that has reached deeper and deeper into Israel, threatening major cities and one-eighth of Israel's population of 7 million people.
More than 30 rockets and mortar shells fell in Israel on Sunday morning, sending Israelis scrambling for bomb shelters. Two Israelis were lightly wounded. Four Israelis have been killed in the attacks since the offensive began.
Do I even need to say it? ALL this ATTENTION to the god-damned Jew!
Oh, yeah, and BEFORE you snag the ANTI-SEMITE LABEL on me:
a) I LOVE JEWS like B'Tselem, Neturei Karta, and the honorable Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss
and
b) ARABS are SEMITES, too, and I LOVE THEM with ALL MY HEART!!!
What PROUD, HONORABLE, PATIENT, and PEACEFUL PEOPLE !!!!
In Gaza City, civilians cowered inside as battles raged, while terrified residents in other areas fled in fear. In the southern town of Rafah, one man loaded a donkey cart with mattresses and blankets preparing to flee.
Lubna Karam, 28, said she and the other nine members of her family spent the night huddled in the hallway of their Gaza City home. The windows of the house were blown out days earlier in an Israeli airstrike, and the family has been without electricity for a week, surviving without heat and eating cold food.
And yet, Tzipi says there is no humanitarian crisis. Sigh.
"We keep hearing the sounds of airplanes and we don't know if we'll live until tomorrow or not," she said.
Severe damage to Gaza's phone network was pushing the strip closer to complete isolation. The Palestinian phone company Paltel Group said 90 percent of Gaza's cellular service was down, as well as many landlines, because of frequent power cuts and the inability of technicians to reach work sites....
AS PLANNED by ISRAEL!! Think they want the MASSACRE to get out to the wider world?
Israel on Sunday approved the mobilization of thousands of reservists, in addition to tens of thousands called up on Saturday. Defense officials said the extra forces could enable a far broader ground offensive.
The troops could also be used in the event Palestinian militants in the West Bank or Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon decide to launch attacks, as Hezbollah did in 2006 when Israel was in the midst of a large operation in Gaza.
Oh, so WHEN is the FALSE-FLAG scheduled, Israel?
WWIII is a COMING SOON, AmeriKa!
You ready to send your sons and daughters to DIE for Iz-ray-HELL?
Oh, and here is another band of war criminals you can send to the Hague along with the NaZionist monsters:
"US Senate leaders stand solidly behind Israel
WASHINGTON --The Senate's leaders are standing solidly behind Israel's ground operation against Hamas.
Time to TAR, FEATHER, and HANG THESE SOBs!!!!!!!!
They say Hamas is a terrorist organization that threatens Israel by firing rockets from Gaza into the Jewish state. The senators say Israelis are victims of attacks by Hamas and that Israel is doing everything possible to protect its people.
In other words, they PARROT the OUTRAGEOUS Zio-prop!!
Please see: Top 5 Lies About Israel’s Assault on Gaza
Sens. Harry Reid and Dick Durbin -- the top two Democrats in the chamber -- and Republican leader all say Israel's actions are understandable. They say it's what the U.S. would do if terrorists were firing missiles into the U.S. from across America's borders.
They are FUCKING DISGUSTING, sucking Zionist cock like that on tv!
Thank the Lord I no longer what those pukey shows! Like the Jew York Times, I used to look forward to them years ago, but NOT ANYMORE!
