4:10 pm
proportional if they want to stop this they can stop and disarm themselves stop fighting israel and they'll be peace period no civilian death is acceptable and that's why we have war the fact that hamas uses civilians as human shields it means that to come us is murdering its own people by hiding cowardly behind this civilians by hiding its command centers within buildings that belong. you know hospitals or schools this is a cynical 'd way of operating and they hold they wreck responsibility to all the deaths the days that were going to sit back and allow murderers terror groups shoot and kill jews those days are over and the. numbers

4:17 pm
they're not going to stop of their own accord their will is not going to suddenly disappear but clearly in the long term. the israeli occupation of palestine is untenable it is not a future that compulsively survive public opinion is changing all over the world and they are not going to be allowed to get away with it by the global civil society in my view again you understand i have to give israel's point of view all not they say an israeli courts ruled prior to 948 was in jewish. and. because of jordan it was taken away from them this is not an equal conflict this is not when we're talking about gaza which will can a barrel full of fish in the israelis as shooting into it with hugely efficient

4:26 pm
late. the doors of the room where my sister was together with her classmates weren't locked so the attacker broke into the room and shot the students her name was and mine is that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in a form which she was 15 mark why she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education in my team. knows on the day school staff that only could to protect the pupils risking and some losing their own lives in the process he would be the only one asking questions though could more have been done to prevent this tragedy and how could it be stopped from happening again. we should probably strengthen the school security as now we have mainly elder people working there also we should organize drills like the ones for fire safety and explain to
