as guilty because they elected hamas as their government he says the gazans are hostages it hostages they chose this freely and they must live with the consequences actually there are a lot of anti hamas people living in gaza just like how there are a lot of anti netanyahu jews living in israel but i guess it doesn't matter to sociopathic war hawks like you who revel in the idea of ethnic cleansing as being the only solution to this one sided conflict apparently to you every human being simply living in gaza is fair game to be slaughtered if you think i'm exaggerating listen to what he had to say after he said the americans didn't stop with hiroshima the japanese once or rendering fast enough so they hit nagasaki too so basically he's saying that it's a good thing that the us forces completely obliterated to thriving japanese cities with nuclear weapons so why even bring up this fact unless you're somehow insinuating that israel might have some moral imperative to completely obliterate gaza potentially with something as disastrous as a nuclear weapon now he sums up his his thoughts b

gazans don't expect to see a cease fire today they hope to see a cease fire yesterday but i don't expect to see it anytime soon they remember all too well the operation cast lead and what's happened in the last twenty four hours resembles increasingly operation the reports of white phosphorus destroying off the bridge that connects middle north gaza with the south of gaza the isolation of the south of gaza and. recently resembling an escalation akin to that of operation cost of winter two thousand and nine the same time the gazans don't want to compromise on the conditions the representatives in the various wings have put on a cease fire they will not leave their homes in many cases they will not evacuate and heed israeli warnings to evacuate their homes from the east and move to gaza city many of them are rejecting that. they want to stay in their homes to defend what they call the righteous cause. all right harris thanks very much indeed for bringing us the very latest from the ground there was a journalist and documentary filmmaker following all the developments on the situation insid

the very reason the call reason why this is happening is because of israeli policy towards the gazans the way they've been suffering from this blockade that has been the provocation as well blockade there is a border to region of the roughest border it's opened do you know that every day we allow patients from gaza to get hospitalization in israel despite the rocket fire do you know that we supply electricity to. we supply truckloads with supplies every day even today it's a matter of fact more than one hundred thirty trucks entered gaza with a variety of supplies according to the requests this spite of the rocket fire what other country in the world would act this way documentary filmmaker activist harry fear says it is impossible for civilians to avoid a mass since it's the only legitimate power in gaza hamas is the government here hamas is responsible for the police force here hamas is responsible for the health center see how mosque is partially responsible for most of the schools here so hamas is everywhere here guys how are the gazan people meant to avoid hamas members of the me

well on a standard day two weeks ago for example we're talking about gazan population most of the gazan population are under the age of eighteen seventy five percent youth unemployment over sixty percent unemployment massive underemployment most people in gaza refugee status and most people over sixty percent rely on aid agencies for food handouts just i do not started that so that is what the situation is like normally today in these days during the war gaza is big bond with drones with f. sixteen s with helicopters with naval air bombardment and so you can just imagine it's not going any better what about you then where you are you not in danger. i know what i was saying god said tonight and i will say that gaza last night we are in danger only in the last twenty fire and starts in minutes we've had an explosion extremely close to our there and then we do three or far as safety but we are doing all we can to continue to document everything we know see and hear to try and prevent israel from targeting our position just how long can the people of gaza really sustain this prolonged attac

gazans here. just briefly the israeli defense minister said that multiple militant groups are behind these current rocket attacks but israel is only holding how mass responsible why is that. while hamas has not been able to control all of the different militant groups in gaza for years now and the result of we're just seeing some explosions now possession here i'm hearing f. sixteen. i'm hearing explosions here. hamas has not been able to control all of the militant groups here in gaza for example the islamic jihad often acts you know that's really when it's. israel and so holding hamas responsible is kind of a collective punishment on hamas and what. i heard just in from the mass is still behind many of those rocket attacks though. yes the overwhelming majority of rocket attacks on israeli territory that pass through the green line down to hamas now where are you at the moment you said you heard some jets above you knowing that the media centers are safe so where you run oh yes well we're now in

cross talk i'm peter all of the carnage continues in gaza and israel claims its bombardment of the gazans is in self-defense at the same time denying the palestinians in the besieged trip the same right to work in israel possibly achieve in this operation called pillar of cloud beyond perpetuating still another cycle of violence. and. to cross-talk the gaza crisis i'm joined by harry fear in gaza he is a documentary filmmaker and activist in amman we have money in rabbani he is coeditor of and in pittsburgh we cross to greg roman he is the director of the pittsburgh jewish community relations council all right gentlemen crosstalk roles in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want to here a year in gaza can you give us an update what you've seen over the last twenty four thirty six hours of the last time frame that you just said we've seen the killing of two baby children one two and one four year old earlier today we saw the killing of a fifteen year old to israel these are collateral damage but to us and to the gazan people these are. unacceptable murders ok craig how do you ass

maintain some services with regard to litter collection and food provision member that most of the gazan population not only under the age of eighteen but they also rely on food handouts just so they do not starve to death and so if the provision of those food handouts for example becomes inhibited because the situation here is too dangerous which could well happen with a ground invasion then that will be an even more gratian military situation here in the gaza strip so what kind of atmosphere is there where you are in gaza i mean a great deal of fear presumably. well i mean west gaza city where most of the internationals abased and hear things are better but if you leave this small radius safe zone quite safe zone things become extremely dangerous and so when i came here to speak to you we drove about fifty miles an hour just to avoid being on the gazan streets you know for not too long a time all of the cars here for the press international's drive with hazard lights on so that israel knows that these a civilian press cars most people are in their homes seeking refuge in the best way t

that was chosen back in two thousand and six in effect lying the international community failed the gazans for going to the polls in a democratic nation to make the new leadership so i'm not talking about is flights that are targeting a rebel group for instance we're talking about is tribes that are targeting the magician that he made to voice the people of gaza as you say over the past four days that it's ready officials that have been hailing the operation as a so to cool the precise saying it's only targeting military sides and begs the question how does it explain of a growing number of civilian casualties also be the placed in in terms of the ever growing number of civilians as a place to the idea is hard place to unset the feelings that we have at the moment some thirty four people who have been killed since the last wednesday the majority of them up in the stimulus and many of them are in fact civilians particularly children the spokes person. all the netanyahu government try to answer the question as to why so many civilians are being killed my idea is frankly despite the fact that

attacks attacks i have to be honest with you the situation is very very grave and the palestinian gazan population are frankly being terrorized as we speak and presumably they're expecting more casualties because as i'm speaking to you can you still hear bombing taking place. only ten minutes ago we were hearing. bombing yes indeed we believe as israel listening to israeli statements that tomorrow they expect to have launched the ground incursion of the gaza strip including central parts of gaza city so we internationals in the gaza strip are called to an activist and the gazan people believe that this is a beginning of another full scale war i came to that winter two thousand and eight winter two thousand and nine named operation cast lead so i have to tell you the situation is expected to get greater and greater i spoke to a spokesperson from the israeli military saying that these are limited targets that they're attacking would you say that this is totally different from what you will see if that was the case we would be seeing so many civilians caught up in this well israel has its

old today we saw the killing of a fifteen year old israel these are casual damage to us and to the gazan people these are unacceptable murders ok greg how do you assess the situation there is a lot more rumors of a ceasefire in the year how do you think this is going to play out. i believe there's a cease fire that's expected to go on the hill soon.

of fighting is just how confused the situation is in gaza and it's certainly the most confusing for gazan residents themselves on the one hand israeli jets have been flying overhead almost by the minute and the israeli army has made a great point of saying that they want wizard and when to leave areas these jets have been dropping leaflets ordering people to evacuate just to quote the leaflets they say if you follow our orders he will be ok on the one hand of gazans are being told to leave their homes but at the same time there are messages that are being broadcast via radio via text altering these gazans to stay at home telling them that if in fact they leave their homes they face a greater possibility of being hit by israeli airstrikes so for the average person in gaza it's increasingly confusing whether to stay and whether to go there's also confusion over the whole story of a ceasefire we've heard from the egyptian president mohamed morsi who says that the end to israeli aggression all happened today but then alongside this we hear reports warning people to leave their homes possibly

well gazans are going through the first hours of the cease fire f. sixteen jet flying overhead fewer times a day where there are no bombs being dropped so gazans are feeling the relief of no more blood being spilled although people are still dying from injuries from the last few days sustained over the last few days however those that i've spoken to analysts here political activists analysts and except for very cynical about this is because it's a very simple c.s.i. just says stop firing at each other it really is a very simple cease fire and if we put that in a historical context israel has generally broken most of the cease fires that have existed and so from the palestinian point to this is seen as more of a lot more of a temporary stop to the bloodshed than some sort of massive political diplomatic game it seems like really the target people were killed obviously and we can talk about how precise it was but it was an infrastructure event they destroyed an enormous amount of in the infrastructure seemingly has nothing to do with military or any ot

is gazans defending themself and they see the u.s. completely siding with israel. so while they would like to see a cease-fire, they say true peace cannot come along until israel stops targeting people in the gaza strip and that blockade of gaza is lifted. george? >> alex marquardt, thanks very much. >>> here at home, it is game on for the more than 43 million americans hitting the road this holiday. tomorrow could be the busiest travel day of the year, but the thanksgiving migration has already begun. americans scrambling into planes, trains and automobiles to make it home for the holiday. our travel team is tracking it all, and abc's senior national correspondent jim avila starts us off. >> reporter: good evening, george. tomorrow is supposed to be the busiest travel day of the year but airlines have cut the number of flights down 3%, and that means that if the weather holds, it actually could be a pleasant week to travel everywhere but in a couple of spots. a twin threat to air travel on the west coast. airport workers scheduled to

but there are no innocents in gaza there's a school of thought that also believes that because the gazans elected hamas leadership everybody in gaza is potentially a target for the israeli army and the israeli transport minister went so far as to say that gaza needs to be bombed to the extent that everybody flees from gaza into egypt sinai peninsula another point that is also interesting and the point that we've been monitoring here at r.t. is the whole media war it's a wall that israel by and large has always had the upper hand of a war that it essentially has used through the social media to garner support for have a look while israeli politicians weigh up whether or not to send their army into gaza they've had new here's a taishan him only not the p.r. machine into the social media battlefield. one israeli was killed yesterday in the attack from gaza my house took a direct hit israeli citizens experience indescribable suffering this video offers a sophisticated alternative to the diddly reality on the ground a growing civilian death toll in gaza at the hands of the i.d.f. today very a

in the last few hours we've been hearing increasing noises from the gazan population and political analysts here saying that they do feel that a ground invasion is impending still a few hours ago and yesterday that was looking increasingly unlikely but now it's looking increasingly likely as things have really related by me in west gaza city where most of the internationals abased and hear things are better but if you leave this small radius safe zone quite safe zone things become extremely dangerous all of the cars here for the press international's drive with hazard lights on so that israel knows that these are civilian press cars most people are in their homes seeking refuge in the best way that they can i don't know bomb shelters here even for hamas government officials but people are trying the best they can to buckle down not knowing what is going to happen in these next few hours remembering that most violence is going to fix is during the night in the early hours of the day that's yet to come hundreds of egyptians have arrived at one of the largest hospitals here in gaza for the pre

are ready to repel law if need be but this is a massacre according to god's image most of the gazan population to be aged eighteen seventy five percent youth unemployment sixty percent unemployment massive monument most people in gaza refugee status. sixty. eight agencies are going through towns just they do not started that so that is what the situation is like normally today in these days and gaza is big with drones with f. sixteen s with helicopters with names. and so you can just imagine it's not getting any better out of sr resistance groups are being applauded by a majority of gazans for the strong resistance in our battling israeli forces so it's not looking. to me and narrative point of view that i actually got some to hope that that was how. what seemed to be very likely an imminent ground by its very defense forces. stay with r.t. for the latest on gaza plus we've also got live coverage on our web site twitter stream. britain makes a push to support the rebels in syria love the most in your position the us and joins france in calls to lift an e.u. weapons and bono to allow

imagine it's not going any better out of syria resistance groups have been aborted by a majority of gazans for the strong resistance in our battling israeli forces and so it's looking at the malls in the palestinian narrative point of view that actually got us into who thought as our group of what seem to be very likely are eminent grounds by its very advanced courses despite a number of civilian deaths in gaza israel has hailed its pillar of defense operation as surgical and claims it only targets military sites and my colleague has been talking to an excel scare spokesperson for the israeli prime minister's office. i want to see that we have only one goal israel has to defend its citizens i'm sure that there is no state no state no russia and no state in europe and no united states of america can agree with this kind of situation you know our children our elders are fired by rockets on our schools on our civilians and we turn on the terrorists with one very simple goal to stop this firing of rockets and our civilians and we will target terrorists until they stop would you care to explain

gazans don't expect to see a ceasefire they remember all too well the operation cast lead and what's happened in the last twenty four hours resembles increasingly. the reports of white phosphorus destroying off the bridge that connects middle north gaza with the south of gaza the isolation of the south of gaza israel has intensified the pounding of gaza particularly the targeting of governmental and police buildings in the biggest police station was totally leveled causing structural damage to nearby buildings some of the biggest governmental structures in gaza city were targeted including the biggest civil service building here in gaza. in the southern area of the gaza strip was targeted heavily overnight particularly the smuggling tunnels which gazans called the survival smuggling tunnels israel killed three media workers short john the two of them a cameraman for the t.v. channel another for the educational television channel according to israel these stations that these media workers work for are not legitimate journalistic enterprises and therefore susceptible to being targeted

looking at a grinding civilian death count in gaza what i'm hearing israelis tell me is that it is gazans that you take to the hamas government and as a result they want to live with the consequences this is almost a justification for these way the army getting of the wrong so frequently in what it says are targeted killings that in fact when it lands uprooting and killing civilians. from republics to mean center for human rights is a ground invasion is a terrifying prospect for those who remember the israeli offensive four years ago. there is widespread fear among the pa among the people here the prospect of a ground invasion is very frightening for people because it's inevitable that the civilian casualties will rise rapidly if that occurs and people here are still traumatized by the memory of operation cast lead which happened less than four years ago in which more than eleven hundred civilians lost their lives many many more were injured humanitarian crisis is imminent in relation to the hospitals and the supplies that they have i visited as chief of hospital on thursday which was. th
