bring you today's top stories in a look back at the week's news it's noon in moscow and israeli army is really army has started redeploying troops along its border with gaza signaling it may scale back operations security officials say the country is winding down destroying hamas tunnels there were air attacks early sunday that gaza medics say killed thirty palestinians also rockets over the coastal israeli town of ashkelon two of them intercepted two others landing in open areas israel is still refusing to negotiate a fresh cease fire with hamas around one hundred fifty palestinians killed by israeli airstrikes and artillery fire since friday's failed truce operation protective age the deadliest israeli offensive in years more than seven hundred palestinians and sixty six israelis have so far but been killed in the fighting that's hundreds more than were killed in the so-called caste lead operation in two thousand and eight. i. was. i.

i. was going through. the. wednesday a school in gaza run by the un was torn apart by shelling leaving twenty dead hundreds of refugees sheltering there at the time the un says it repeatedly informed the i.d.f. about that journalist at the u.s. state department briefing pushed for an answer over who was responsible for the attack you see that you can show in. jelling are we talking about well we understand the anger has put out a statement on its views that we would underscore the importance of a full and prompt investigation to determine the facts or you are not ready to. israel per se for the showing 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 un 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 they're her rockets inside does that justify the killing of innocent billions civilians who have seeking shelter obviously nothing justifies the killing of innocent civilians who 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. the fear reporting for our team from gaza has been speaking to the 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 garza's main hospital in its burns unit are a small fraction of the surviving injured this girl three years all. this really is demolished the house of this family. so we do see the girl her mother her two brothers would see 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 a human being if i see whole family is the killed under the rubble of their house the house. and 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. as for what weaponry is causing these injuries it's not entirely clear. it's very severe the magnitude of

destruction of the of the human beings those are intended to kill. this of people. face is 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 incredible civilian toll. escalating conflict in gaza is compelled to turn their backs on the fighting more than fifty israeli soldiers have refused to serve in their nation's reserve force saying their military is playing a key role in oppressing palestinians they also say they are supporting all those who are resisting being called up. 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 charges you know the kind the police brings up against you one day they want to suppress a 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 we noticed them five or ten minutes before is enough to sentence five or ten or twenty five people to death is something immoral. i don't think even times of war we can do whatever whatever we want without boundaries conflict in gaza has led to demonstrations in support of both sides in europe the demonstrations mainly against the israeli operation protesters in berlin we've palestinian flags and banners denouncing civilian deaths hundreds of protesters also gathered at the israeli embassy in the portuguese capitalised that thousands marched across london voicing anger against the israeli strikes and in france more than ten thousand

people marched through the streets of paris in support of the palestinian people. the country has seen weeks of protests since the start of the conflict some demonstrations ending in clashes while across the atlantic in new york two rallies happened at the same time on the same street one of them for israel and the other supporting palestinians were also gatherings near the white house parties lindsey french before us from what. after yet another failed humanitarian cease fire in gaza the people here gathered for the free palestine protest in front of the white house are just grieving for the tragedy happening overseas they're also feeling a lot of in. patience in patience because their relatives are the ones ducking for cover in gaza and many of them 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 justice 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 of 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 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 on with the military operation in gaza against hamas quote no matter how much time or force it takes an expert on israeli arab relations james petras tells my colleague kevin owen that little is being done to end the bloodshed. they destroyed all the working facilities electricity water supply sewage systems making it unlivable because the ultimate goal is exclusively jewish israelis stay they want to drive the entire palestinian people out of inhabitable region the world 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 now you know it's also called for the international community

to stand by israel before i come back to you but let's take a listen to that quick clip of. these people who. stood with as little. as it unfolds almost. is that it was or was. it his group of us understood james will they stand with israel the question is who will stand with israel to great britain geraghty of people in the world are all to condemn israel every country in the world i would say the majority condemns israel's brutality but israel continues to act because it feels it has impunity that is the united states government continues to supply arms and provide diplomatic protection for the genocide that is taking place in the european union wrings its hands but continues

to engage in business as usual with israel. we also heard from a lot of stying with the israeli foreign ministry who told us palestinians made the wrong choice in backing 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 un 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 the people in gaza could have had amazing freedom we counted the number of cash that was put into the terror tunnels it's one point twenty five billion dollars with that amount of money they could have had a hospital we 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 it's are supposed to bring terrorists into israel they are doing it using these children this human shields we abort missions when we know there are children

around we truly do everything possible not to harm them but when they actually physically use him as a human shield and. that's what happens unfortunately. coming out of modern day slavery for the world's most watched sporting event migrant workers and kotter which is hosting the twenty second football world cup reportedly stranded without pay working in human conditions that and more coming your way after venture capital the peace building. the u.s. military was built to square off against the soviet union. over western europe but when you take that conventional military and now try to retest you as a counterinsurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stuff. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here you're not going to hear any right other
