Palestinian Doctor's Daughters killed while he is interviewed on Israeli TV

Dr. Az-a-Din Abu El-Eish (I hope I am transliterating correctly) is a Palestinian gynecologist from Beit Lahiya, in the NE corner of the Gaza Strip. He works at Israel's largest hospital, Tel Hashomer near Tel Aviv.

This impressive and peaceful man has been stranded at home during the war. Israel's Channel 10 TV has regularly interviewed him by phone about the situation. On one occasion, a tank gun aimed at his home - and Israeli media intervention saved him.

No such luck today.

(the link is a Hebrew site, the clip starts auto-playing after a few seconds. the article comes after a short commercial). What we see in the clip is Israeli anchor Shlomi Eldar holding a cellphone with Dr. Abu El-Eish on the other side, howling with misery. A tank shell has just hit his home and immediately killed three of his children (apparently they cut off the first seconds when the shell actually hit).

Text below the video frame says that the doctor's brother and two of his brother's children also died. Eldar barely holds himself from crying, and then offers help. Ambulances evacuated some of the wounded to Israel.Full transcript at the link

The youtube video in Hebrew.

Israel's government is giving its standard excuse: that there was sniper fire coming from the house. They have lost their fucking minds, in my humble opinion. My thoughts go out to him.

Thank you for posting this but I admit I can't read it.
I think about Obama saying " I have 2 daughters at home and if someone was firing rockets...." and I've lost so much respect for him on that pro-Israel statement.

Now I have to write him a letter that says - this doctor had his daughters at home... was in dialogue and WHAT?

There are times when the line `this is a hate that hate made' comes to mind ....

I couldn't believe it. Honestly. I. I mean. And that statement of Obama's disappointed the hell out of me so much. Its a fucking outrage and he has no excuse.
