        @BBCBreaking Whilst the media's attention is all on Ukraine, Israel saw the chance to begin annihilation of Palestinians in Gaza.

        @Iamlizziee because US vetoes any call for action and supplies Israel with weapons used against Palestinians.

        @MariGriffin sad that the world relies heavily on one nations vote. Disgusting to be honest.

        .@BBCBreaking Attacking in full knowledge that the headline news is all about #MH17, deflecting attention.

        @matt_shoreditch @BBCBreaking Rather cynical view. Doubt the generals thought, 'I know, let's attack Gaza, the world is too busy elsewhere'.

        @oysterman55 @BBCBreaking Cynical maybe, but I think that any advantage no matter how small, will be exploited. #MH17 will deflect attention

        @matt_shoreditch @BBCBreaking I v much doubt that had anything to do with the decision, just happened to coincide with the Ukranian events.

        @oysterman55 @BBCBreaking It may have reinforced a (wrong) decision that had already been made.

        @matt_shoreditch @BBCBreaking Whether it is/was right/wrong is one matter. Are you suggesting they should change plan/action cos of Ukraine?

        @oysterman55 @BBCBreaking Of course not. But with media attention elsewhere it can only help. A happy coincidence for them
