Middle east - Israel faces heightened diplomatic pressure as Gaza violence rages
@SimonK Not so fast, SimonK... Opinion: Images in Gaza are misleading Israel is being heavily criticized for its offensive in Gaza. But the images of dead Palestinian civilians are deceptive. They are not victims of Israel, but of Hamas and its ruthless strategy, says Michael Wolffsohn. http://www.dw.de/opinion-images-in-gaza-are-misleading/a-17801690

Middle east - Israel faces heightened diplomatic pressure as Gaza violence rages
The very definition of Terrorism is unofficial use of violence and intimidation for political reasons.. Sounds like Isreal to me ! Why does the US send this B Grade clown to negotiate? because they don't care ! This is all a farce ! If it were Syria or Russia , they would be up to their eyeballs in sanctions by now ! This animal Netanyahu needs to go to the Hague and be held accountable for his actions in front of the War Crimes Tribunal ! But we all know that will never happen ! The "United Nations" is one of the biggest oxymorons out there.

so when the Pal's claim Israel is using flechette's it's a fact. when the IDF says it is trying not to kill civilians it is "propaganda" or "PR". Media Watch need a media watch

Thanxx to France24 for providing us with such superb coverage of world news. You are the best, France24. As for Libya, the only question is: Will it become another Syria--or worse?

Europe - Defying UK, France to proceed with warships sale to Russia
Cameron has failed to take a single concrete step to hold back the Ukrainian militants in Kiev to first stop the wholesale murder of civilians by his friend and despot Petro Poroshenko and to implement the agreement reached in Geneva. To be English one either has to be an actor or a hypocrite - Obama

Middle east - Kerry arrives in Israel to push for Gaza ceasefire
How do you deal with an incompetent and ignorant US President and Secretary of State who time and again want to interfere in the conflict they understand nothing about? You demonstrate what they should know about the Middle East and don’t. You let them take the Kerry Quiz! A mini 5 + 1 question quiz for Secretary Kerry http://www.madisdead.blogspot.co.il/2014/01/a-mini-5-1-question-quiz-for-secretary.html

Europe - Hollande says French warship delivery will ‘depend on Russia’s attitude’
@dmatlhoko35 To reward a country that has invaded another, stealing Crimea, (so they didn't have to pay their lease or loose their navy base), causing violence in Kiev, and supplying, training, and providing rebels to destabilize a country so severely that innocent men, women and children are dying due to Russian weapons and intervention is indeed a very good reason to cancel a contract, so a dictator cannot have more weapons to terrorize his neighbors. Maybe you forget the 1950's when the Soviets over ran the Czech Republic, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Poland, the Baltics, and other formerly free countries. But we are not talking French cheese, art, or Peugeots. We are talking about deadly military equipment being given to a dictator who is holding Europe and France hostage with it's gas and oil. What about Russia honoring their signed, sealed, and paid for contract for oil and gas? Russia said they will cut off France in retaliation if French stands up and does the right thing. Contracts with despots do not count and should be revoked. France needs to make the International community stand up and buy these ships for NATO. Not hand them over to a state threatening to turn off the gas and freeze France and Europe in the winter. These contracts are signed in Dutch and Malaysian blood. Hope you can sleep at night.

Americas - Smoker's widow awarded $23 bn in punitive damages in Florida
Hell no!! they should not get a dime, I know a many people whom have never smoked, died of the same causes, as matter of fact I just purchased a classic car from a lady whom is 73, had half of one lung removed because of cancer, never SMOKED! Yet I had a neighbor we called bubba, smoked the fattest cigars he could buy, died at 93, was this smoking to, most males live around 70 if they're lucky, maybe smoking kept him alive. His family should sue for him living so long as a smoker, this would be a first. Guess tobacco companies just needs to call it quits in the US, lay off every worker, file bankruptcy In the US move to china where they can't be sued. Americas going to the dumps, literally, because of this kind of none sense.

Europe - Hollande says French warship delivery will ‘depend on Russia’s attitude’
French President Francois Hollande is a despicable coward. Selling the French soul for 1.1 billion euros to the Russians. He forgets words like honor, liberty, brotherhood, and his friends and partners in the world. Soon Russia will control France with Russian Gas and oil, and France will become a puppet state of Russia. That's ok forget the countries who delivered you from the Nazis and German aggression. WE will boycott all French goods and merchandise. Bye Bye Airbus! Shame on the French watching Russian missiles shoot down women and children and selling them more war machines. Watch out flying over Russia. Your French citizens might be next.

France - An ‘explosion of violence’: French press reacts to Gaza protests
I hate violence; in all forms and flavors. It is difficult, though, not to at least empathize with those who are watching from afar, their people dying in what seems to be an impossible to rectify situation. I have to ask, though: Is there EVER a suitable reason for bombing a hospital? In this, and probably every stinking war since the beginning of time; innocent civilians suffer. All I can do is pray that a miracle will happen and the bloodshed will end.
