ORIGINAL: tweakabelle It's sad that you are unconvinced by the word of a UK High Court Judge (ret'd) and the former Attorney-General of the UK. There's a host of independent evidence to confirm their findings from a plethora of sources, including Israeli sources. For example, check out the website of the Israeli human rights organisation, B'TSelem here. Perhaps this footage, of an Israeli tank firing a shell, without any warning, at some Palestinian children is a bit too graphic to rationalise away as 'standard police tactics': http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9f6_1229896617 I find myself unable to hope that you are comfortable that your tax dollars are financing this ghastly behaviour by the Israel/IDF, and that your Govt is providing the diplomatic and political shield the Israelis hide behind to avoid prosecution for their innumerable war crimes and human rights abuses. I would be horrified to find myself in any way complicit with any kind of child abuse, no matter who does it or why. Given what I read, unless it is slanted to make the UK High Court Judge (ret'd) look like a buffoon, the UK High Court Judge (ret'd) it seems to me is probably best left in retirement. Do you realize that they are attempting to goat the Jews into a final solution? Having watched the footage it is possible that the shell wasn't meant for the kids. Perhaps it was meant for the journalist. I saw the video and it wasn't graphic. The shell missed the kids and it was unlikely to have hit them. It was a shot across the bow. Fairness only goes so far. Sometimes you have to accept your fate because striving against it will do more harm than good. They allow their children to run in the streets like feral animals. Why did you not notice this? Their pride is a false pride. The willingness of the Palestinians to resort to such measures is despicable. They are a conquered people who failed to invest in a military. They don't need your sympathy. They do not hold the olive branch and white flag in their hands. They instead carry the stone of hate. Hate is their lullaby. That they are willing to take the rest of the world with them to the grave should give you and everyone else pause. Maybe the Jews were wrong, but that doesn't make the Palestinians right. Perhaps they were made for each other to abuse each other in Hell for all eternity. Goodness is a choice and they have chosen evil over good. The underlying presumption is that the underdog can do no wrong; their circumstances excuses everything. This UK High Court Judge in my opinion is morally bankrupt. We are all obligated to do right. It isn't the sole responsibility of the Israelis. What sanctimonious trash, made even ghastlier by the persistent whiff of toxic racism. Leaving aside the post's ugly racist undertones, the inability to find anything wrong with a tank firing deliberately at unarmed civilians, let alone children, is simply staggering. It is difficult for me to imagine any circumstances where such an action can be justified. Perhaps, more than anything else, it's a salient indicator of the moral vacuum into which the "Israel can do no wrong" crowd have sunk. Tanks firing live shells at unarmed civilians is never right, morally or legally. It is an unambiguous crime, a heinous war crime. It is indefensible according to any moral or legal code I am familiar with. Until you have grasped this elementary point of morality and legality, can I suggest you refrain from using terms like "morally bankrupt" to describe any one other than yourself.
