...our Democratic senators re-endorsed Israel's actions, and denounce the UN as "biased."

They become more disgusting every day. I don't care if they claim to be a democracy. They are giving democracy a bad name. The best they can hope for is to be able to call the other side potential baby killers like themselves. Nice argument war criminals. Just setting the stage for amping up future conflict. Genius.

Some one's morality has gone completely off the map. Shelling hospitals, schools and other civilian shelters is just disgusting.

Carnage at U.N. school as Israel pounds Gaza refugee camp

(Reuters) - Israel killed at least 19 Palestinians sheltering in a school in Gaza's biggest refugee camp on Wednesday, a U.N. official said, as Egyptian mediators prepared a revised proposal to try to halt more than three weeks of fighting.

Some 3,000 Palestinians, including many women and children, were taking refuge in the building in Jebalya refugee camp when it came under fire around dawn, Khalil al-Halabi, director of northern Gaza operations for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said.

"There were five shells - Israeli tank shells - which struck the people and killed many of them as they slept. Those people came to the school because it a designated U.N. shelter," he said.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said militants had fired mortar bombs from the vicinity of the school and troops fired back in response. The incident was still being reviewed.
