This should be sad, especially at the time of one of the most Holy Days of the Jewish calendar, Tisha B’Av, when Jews should be morning, lamenting the destruction of the Holy Temples in Jerusalem dating back 2,000 years and be reflective of so many other perils faced the Jewish people over the centuries.

Even some associate the start of WW1 with the celebration of Tisha B’Av, which occurred on Shabbat, August 1, and was observed on the 2nd, in 1914. Germany declared war on Russia on the 1st. France, allied with Russia as part of the Triple Entente, also began mobilization on that day.

But many, at least in Israel, they are more concerned over a strike on the country which is expected over the holiday, and how to get away with their crimes, by manipulating international public opinions and world leaders to continue to support and fund their bloody crusade.

On August 10th, the Israeli Defense Forces (a rather inappropriate name, given their recent history) struck the Tabeen School Complex in Gaza, where it is estimated around 4000 people, refugees from the fighting in other parts of Gaza, were sheltering.

Even how they justify their actions is sickening to those who know better:

The Israeli airstrike on a militant stronghold within a Gaza City school on Saturday killed far more militants than initially thought, citing Shin Bet—some 38 altogether.

Israel is making enemies on all sides

Needless to say, the Zionist forces claimed, without any evidence, that the strike against the school was directed at Hamas, but the results speak loudest. They also, as usual, try and downplay the casualties of their attack, and........
