with all of the wednesday a school in gaza run by the united nations was torn apart by shelling leaving twenty dead hundreds of refugees sheltering there at the time the un says it had reportedly informed the i.d.f. about this journalist i do us state department briefing a quest for an answer over who is responsible for the attack you say that you condemn of the shelling. who shelling are we talking about well we understand that iran has put out a statement on its views that we would underscore the importance of a full and prompt investigation to determine the facts so you are not ready to condemn israel per se for the shelling of the school correct we haven't said that there needs to be a full investigation to see what happened here but specifically are you asking the israelis to not make any u.n. facilities a target because there are civilians that are seeking shelter there i'm not going to make a blanket statement at least what i'm going sometimes it's ok i'm not saying that

i'm just not going to make a blanket statement about what our private conversations with the israelis look like even if there are rockets inside and i'm not saying they should be used against israel and i'm not saying that should they should be gotten rid of i mean they should but ok even if there are rockets inside does that justify the killing of innocent billions civilians who is seeking shelter there were obviously nothing justifies the killing of innocent civilians who see can show he can shatter a damaged or destroyed rocket in a u.n. facility we believe the u.n. neutrality should be respected and recognized by everyone we understand it's complicated to understand. look there's a lot a lot of different pieces happening on the ground and quite frankly a lot of facts we don't know yet our affair reporting for our team in gaza speaking with palestinian medics working around the clock to help the wounded. it's hard to fathom how such a vast devastation can occur in three weeks of fighting. thousands of homes damaged or destroyed tens of thousands internally displaced and well over

a thousand killed inside gaza's main hospital in its burns unit are a small fraction of the surviving injured this girl three years old. this israeli demolished their house of this family so we deceived her mother two brothers would say rebels this morning this woman is a very severe condition she is presented to us about five days ago with her son and her husband her son and husband died with severe burns and she's still surviving with a very critical condition the doctors and nurses here look as stunned as the civilians who survived in heavily bombarded areas it's hard to imagine how the medical staff can cope with these truly horrendous cases human being if i see

whole families the killed under the rubble of their house the house. when these people and all the families killed. in one of the instances i have a child here he was all the time claimed all his families he lost his father his mother his brother is a grandfather and all the time he's crying he wants his mother so i closed the door of my office and i sat crying those that survived this war will have to the physical and psychological scars for years to come. ask her why pingree is causing these injuries it's not entirely clear. the magnitude of destruction of. those. casualties of people. badly on the ground it feels as if during this war israel is fixed on stopping

hamas is rockets once and for all regardless of the critical civilian toll. escalating conflict in gaza is compels them to turn their backs on the fighting more than fifty israeli soldiers refused to serve in the nation's reserve forces they say military is playing a role in oppressing palestinians we've been hearing from them. there's certainly been a narrowing of the space for political expression in israel in the past several years and during the course of this operation over six hundred protesters against the operation against the war have been arrested and some are still under arrest for trumped up charges you know the kind the police brings up against you when they tell you they want to suppress the protest to make a phone call or send a message or drop a tiny bomb minutes before you destroy an entire house and to think that the fact

that you know five or ten minutes before is enough to say was five or ten or twenty five people there is something in the world. i don't think that even comes with war we can do whatever whatever we want without boundaries. conflict in gaza sledges demonstrations in support of both sides in new york two rallies happened simultaneously on the same street one pro israel the other pro palestine. in europe the demonstrations that were mainly against the israeli operation protesters in berlin waving palestinian flags and banners denouncing the civilian deaths that. i didn't think yesterday. and in france more than ten thousand people marched through the paris streets in support of the palestinian people the country has seen

a weeks of protests since the start of the conflict with some demonstrations ending in clashes artie's those in france reports. after yet another failed humanitarian ceasefire in gaza the people here gathered for the free palestine protest in front of the white house aren't just grieving for the tragedy happening overseas they're also feeling a lot of impatience impatience because their relatives are the ones ducking for cover in gaza and many of. and say this is not just a war of weapons and of ideology it's also a war of rhetoric and perception while we're here because this is obviously a devastation that's going on right now in gaza and we're calling for an end to the conflict there the freeing of the siege also the end occupation that is all over the west bank and gaza and to really point out the fact that there is something that is immoral on josh and in equal that is going on here representatives of this community here in washington say that based on what we've seen so far just this

summer alone there are two clans for moving forward from here a line is to proceed as before every time bombs drop on gaza organize the protests and laments the government and media bias or instigate an about face change the perception in this community in the government and in the media the u.s. media's role is clearly to evoke sympathy for israel and downplay if not not covered all the palestinian boy as first generation americans and immigrants many of them from palestinians these people here residents of washington many of them know that they are their relatives best representatives for what needs to change in the perceptions of gaza and its residents israel's prime minister vowing to push ahead with a military operation in gaza against hamas quote no matter how much time or force it takes an expert on israeli relations james petrus tell artie's kevin owen that

little is being done to end the bloodshed. they destroyed all the working facilities electricity water supply sewage systems they're making it unlivable because the ultimate coal is exclusively jewish israelis stay they want to drive the entire palestinian people out of inhabitable region of the world our block of opinion is shark but there's no one that's raising a hand to tell the israelis you will pay a price for this but netanyahu has also called for the international community to stand by israel before a come back let's take a listen to that quick clip of a call responsible and remorseful lose these and people who. stood with the world. with those rumors of the false hamas. who is who is it that those who it was or

was the little it was group of us understood james will they stand with israel. the question is who will stand with israel the great majority of people in the world are a. mystery every country in the world i would say the majority is really. what israel continues to wear because it feels it has. the united states government continues to supply arms and provide diplomatic protection for the genocide that is taking place in the european union rings that stands and continues to engage in business as usual with israel and we also heard from a lot of starting with the israeli foreign ministry who tells us that palestinians have made the wrong choice in siding with hamas we even have a running joke saying do they understand the word cease fire or maybe it was lost in translation cease fire means cease fire and they kept firing rockets so we are

going to cease fire the u.n. said it should be done with the call ration of egypt we are very open to that so we don't have an argument with the international community that people in gaza could have had amazing freedom we counted the number of cash that was put into the territory knows it's one point twenty five billion dollars with that amount of money they could have had a hospital they could have three malls they could have had twenty schools they could have had so much economy going on but they decided to put it into tunnels where terror supposed to bring terrorists into israel they are doing it using these children this human shields we abort mentions when we know there are children around we truly do everything possible not to harm that but when they actually physically use him as a human shield. that's what happens unfortunately. more of the week's top stories after a venture capital with katie pilbeam stay with us. fish
