TV news reports of the Israeli air assault on Gaza, provide numbers of dead and injured and video footage of bombed-out buildings. What you don't see are the gruesome injuries inflicted on the human body as a result of an attack with high tech weaponry.
Contrary to Israeli claims, the IDF has been going after civilian targets deliberately. The Al Mezan Center and other Human Rights organizations that have people on the ground monitoring the situation in Gaza report that there have been grave breaches of international law by the IDF - amounting to crimes against humanity.
The 'Irish Anti-War Movement' site has photographs that are both graphic and disturbing showing Palestinians in hospital emergency rooms after being injured in Israeli air strikes. I'm not linking to these photographs for sensation value, but to demonstrate the horror of modern warfare - especially when so-called 'smart bombs' are less smart than advertised.
Please exercise caution before linking to these photos - they are extremely graphic :
