The site runs on an undisclosed platform, not identified by sites such as Netcraft.

It's Linux running nginx by the looks of things.

Hiding behind women and children would be called cowardice in the civilised world.

@ the first AC

The third AC already addressed your idiotic post, but for some reason I feel compelled to talk to a wall and point out that there's a fairly solid chance the article you reference isn't even true.

Usually, western news articles about Israeli horror atrocities are sourced by - guess who! - Palestinian and hamas representatives!

Remember the big hooplah over the "mass graves" of West Bank residents? Complete fabrication. Of course, the retractions by the BBC, CNN, et. al were buried in the back pages, while the original stories were twenty point headlines for days.

So, it is indeed possible that the second AC is correct, and that the incident did, in fact, happen. But I wouldn't bet on it.

And I wouldn't bet on the truth getting in the way of antisemitism anytime soon, either. Oh well.

antisemetism?

Lets not say that any comment that criticizes the military force that Israel uses and results in innocent deaths is due to anti-Semitism.. some people don't like to see state sanctioned killings is all.

"Lets not say that any comment that criticizes the military force that Israel uses and results in innocent deaths is due to anti-Semitism.. some people don't like to see state sanctioned killings is all."

So it would be ok if Israeli civilians returned the favor by launching un-guided missiles into Gaza instead?

This is supposed to be a joyous occasion! Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who, shall we?
