I was looking for news about this image which was part of a video posted here and came across this bit of news.
As Israel’s Offensive Into Gaza Grows, France Bans Pro-Palestinian Protests
In France the government placed a ban on Saturday’s expected rally as tensions between Jewish and Muslim communities is spiking. Citing a “threat to public order”, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve backed the police ban on the widely-advertised mass demonstrations, after members of the Jewish Defense League (LDJ) and pro-Palestinian groups clashed last Sunday.
So it is not a decline of support. It is that the demonstrations become violent. What has been somewhat unusual is that Hamas has not been given a LOT of support by Western Governments.
Another headline from the same site announces Palestinians Killed by Israeli Military, Pawns for Hamas. So maybe some reporters are catching on to the human shield game the Palestinians play. The more dead the better for Hamas. Disgusting. More from that link:
Hamas continues to fire rockets into open spaces in Israel. Is this a provocation for war? Yes. But the death toll on the Israeli side is incredibly low. In fact, since this latest battle has begun, as I mentioned above, only one Israeli civilian has died. Is Hamas incapable of harming Israelis? No. Sources again tell me that Hamas is playing a political game and wants to see the death toll among Palestinians as high as possible for international sympathy, aid and support. These sources work on the ground to protect the Palestinians from abuses by the Israeli government and abuse by Hamas. They tell me that Hamas does not care for the Palestinian people and sees them as the means to an end. The deaths of innocent people is what Hamas is hoping for.
Therefore, I am told that when the “roof knockers” are fired over homes that at times civilians and families are kept inside, held at gunpoint. These civilians are literally prevented from leaving the building in hopes that they are killed by an airstrike. The higher the number of civilian casualties, the better for Hamas.
The more dead bodies the better for Hamas. That is some ugly shit. And reporters seem to be waking up to what is going on. At this point I wouldn’t say that sympathy for Israel is rising. But sympathy for the Palestinians in particular an Arabs in general is definitely falling.

This will be a contest between the corrupt netanayhu and the children of gaza to see who is tougher. who can take all of what the other side dishes out and come back for more saying is that all you got because the children our ready to die for allah. (you can google netanayhu crook if you don’t know how corrupt he is.)

Think of what Gaza would be like if the $$ went to infrastructure. Or even welfare.
Netanahyu is israels nixon and both will end up the same. Israels latest surgical stike just hit a hospital full of children though they may have been aiming at nbc newsman mohadin ;but missed.
Do you have a link for the hospital strike? Can’t find anything on it.
Ah. Found it.

Haven’t seen the Israeli side yet. My guess would be some one was firing anti-tank rockets from the hospital. A typical tactic.
The hope of course is that the Israelis would fire back.
I’m not seeing much sympathy for the Palis on yahoo news or other general sites in the US.
Even Reason Magazine – formerly quite a reliable supporter of the palis in the comments at least is nearly uniformly against them (on the order of 10 to 1).
Maybe they have been reading the Hamas Charter. Some one posted an excerpt in the comments at Reason.
Maybe the left in America is on the way to losing the next generation of Jews. Although I must say the Rs are doing little enough to attract them.
How about topic bring peace to gaza?
[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement. For renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion; the nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its faith, the movement educates its members to adhere to its principles and to raise the banner of Allah over their homeland as they fight their Jihad: “Allah is the all-powerful, but most people are not aware.”

Peace? When one side or the other prevails.

Inquiring minds want to know.
This will be a contest between the corrupt netanayhu and the children of gaza.
Where would you rather live, in Gaza under Hamas rule, or in Israel under Netanyahu’s rule?
Inquiring minds want to know.
