An Israeli military spokesman confirmed that the raid had been called off because of the protest.
"The attack plan was canceled because of the people there. We differentiate between innocent people and terrorists," he said. [Aljazeera]
No they did not! The Palestinians could not be the reason or the force to block the the terrorist army of Israel if they wanted to carry on the raid. Do you want to tell me that they didn't kill innocent civilians before? How graceful they are.

Who killed the Beit Hanoun sleeping families?
Who killed these and these and these and these and these and these and these and these and these and these and these and… all of these innocent civilians, children, women and elders, who killed them?
Who killed Huda's family?
Who killed the civilians in this massacre, and this, and this, and this…?
Who killed Iman?
Who killed prayers in Al-Aqsa Mosque?
Who killed children, women and elders in Sabra and Shatila and Qana?
Who killed the thousands of villagers in Qibya, Safsaf and al-Dawayima, and Kafr Qasim, and…?
Who killed and killed and killed…? Thousands and thousands of innocent Palestinians were killed by the Zionist throughout the history of Palestinian resistance!
Israel always claimed that Palestinian civilians die during Israeli terrorist army operations because they (Palestinians) use civilians as human shields. So, what's new this time? Nothing. It's not because the Palestinian formed a human shield to protect a Palestinian resistance man that Israeli terrorist machine stopped. It's all a PR show and a brainwash to try to cover their recent massacres.
Unfortunately, the mainstream media has a very short memory.
From today news:
An Israeli aircraft has attacked a car carrying two Hamas fighters in Gaza City, wounding at least 10 people.
Hamas said two of its fighters were in the car but escaped unharmed on Sunday. Medical workers said the men were wounded, along with three passersby – two children and an elderly man. [Aljazeera]
So, these two children and the elderly men are not innocent civilians? And what about yesterday's civilians killing? And day before, and day before, and week before…
Yesterday the UN resolution condemned Israeli terrorists and their crimes (156 countries, including the 25-member European Union, voted in favour of the non-binding resolution, introduced by Qatar on behalf of Arab states. Seven – including the US, Israel and Australia – voted against while six abstained). But, so what? Did anyone blink? When did a UN resolution stop Israel from conducting more crimes? Never! In fact in the same day, two Palestinians were killed.
It's shame to watch the world doing nothing but few words of condemnation here and there, but no actions when things relate to Israel.
Ultimately, this world is not controlled by force but by our minds. The world has become a behavior modification laboratory. "Believe what you are told not your common sense or intuition," and this is what Israel is playing well. Gradually, the world is transformed into better slaves by the education system or into slugs or demons by the mass media. The Zionist mass media is nothing but a malevolent occult force that controls the world with lies. They play a great role in this process and in manipulating and suppressing the truth and replacing it with their lies (a.k.a. truth, their truth).

they are not innocent civilians. you are a liar.
they are supporters of terrorism. they were given gaza and they can't even figure out how to be decent citizens in their own area.
mohamed (aka Zionist),
If resisting occupation is called terrorism, and if all these killed (which looks you have not checked any link) are "terrorists", then I can't agree more with you. However, it is very clear that you have not checked a single link in the post, which makes me conclude that you are not but another sick Zionist (aka TERRORIST).
May God have mercy on your soul!
'Mohamed' sounds no brighter than the moronic 'Rabbi' I quote in my latest post on this subject…

Say Mohammed .. aren't you ashamed of yourself?? If I were you I'd be VERY quiet VERY fast – and so some research in order to know what I am taking about! YOU are an Arab .. and talk this way about your brothers and sisters who are going through HELL?? You're nothing but one despicable individual in my eyes …
I am frequently talking with friends from Gaza, heard day before yesterday the F-16 and Apachies through the phone while they hovered over the home of a scared friend who I kind of phone-accompanied during these hours … NO, NOT a terrorist as in your sick mind apparently everyone in Gaza is considered as such – but a great young man who works with children and yougsters and tries his best to reduce their fears and make them feel understood.
You want to hear how that sounds? Well – be my guest and check on my blog … just imagine yourself having to live with that … all the time, 24/7!! How would YOU feel??
Haitham … you're absolutely right – it was nothing but PR after the worldwide condemnation after Beit Hanoun they couldn't afford another slaughter. Despite – I hope they will do just that more often now …
I don't believe the Israeli statement.
In Israeli policy, Palestinians=terrorists.
Either they are terrorists, retired terrorists, growing up to be terrorists or going to give birth to terrorists.
The Israeli must have been misquoted!
I am getting sick and tired of these dancesteps being performed by the Israelis trying to hide their "genocide"!
Karin,
Just one note. "Mohamed" is not necessary an Arab! Although that's what this commenter claims to be called, but hey… I can comment with Madona as my name, and I know Australians and Indians called Mohammed too :)
Of course I'm not saying that there is no Arab Zionists, (in fact I believe hat we have Arabs who are worse than Zionists) but I'm trying to clarify this to you cause you based your comment on the assumption that he is an Arab.
Of course they called off the strike because of potential bad PR. But non-violent resistance relies on that, it places them in a lose-lose situation: call of their action or suffer the bad PR.
"It’s shame to watch the world doing nothing but few words of condemnation here and there, but no actions when things relate to Israel."
I agree. But I believe this demonstrates that Palestinians can take effective action, and I don't think many would say that Palestinain resistance to date has been particularly effective. I am not trained in non-violent resistance, but I also think it will have to be sustained and "massive" to be effective, or else the short memory you refer to will come into play. There is a steep curve of prejudice and misinformation to climb, but while the world accepts the routine killing of a few at a time, it will not be able to ignore the routine killing of scores or more in actions such as this.
