America backs Israel's right to kill children

According the Jerusalem Post, America has issued a statement supporting Israel's latest war crime against Palestinian civilians. The
US expressed support for Israel Friday night after apparent Israeli
artillery fire caused the death of at least 12 Palestinians on a Gaza
coast beach.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said that
Israel had the right to defend itself, especially while terrorists were
attacking it.
However, McCormack added that Israel must consider
the results well and do what was necessary to prevent harming innocent
civilians. And if Israel doesn't "prevent harming innocent civilians?" He didn't say.
Meanwhile, according to al-Jazeera, other states responded more appropriately to the atrocity.France described the killings as "disproportionate" and Moscow condemned them as "unacceptable".
Truce ended
Ten Palestinians were killed on Friday by the Israeli military.
Seven people, including five members of the same family, died when an Israeli artillery shell reportedly landed on a Gaza beach.
Three
Palestinians were killed as they prepared to launch a rocket attack on
Israel, the Israeli army said. Palestinians said they were civilians.
The deaths came following Israel's killing of a senior Palestinian militia member, Jamal Abu Samhadana, on Thursday.
Hamas has said it will end its 16-month agreement not to launch attacks on Israel in response to the incidents. Well done Israel! Now we can look forward to lots of reports of how Hamas has broken the ceasefire, rather than just their own.
