ARGUMENT IN DAVOS OVER ISRAEL'S ATTACK ON PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS

Why is it that only Israel and the United States continue to maintain that the attack against the Palestinians in Gaza several weeks ago was justified?

Today Turkish prime minister Erdogan walked out of a conference after arguing with Shimon Perez over Israel's attack in Gaza. Many people believe that the attack was unjustified, disproportionate and aimed at Palestinians civilians and civilian infrastructure. More than 1,400 Palestinians were killed, including about 400 children under the age of 16.

Reports the BBC:

"Turkey's prime minister has stormed off the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos after a heated debate on Gaza with Israel's president.

"Recep Tayyip Erdogan clashed with Shimon Peres, whose voice had risen as he made an impassioned defence of Israel's actions, jabbing his finger.

"Mr Erdogan said Mr Peres had spoken so loudly to conceal his "guilt"."
