The numbers aren't significant Yep. Hundreds of injuries, maimings and deaths of children - neither here nor there, so long as the stated motivation is righteous. This is getting almost bizarre. This view of the IDF's attacks seems, to me, akin to some mad driver who mows down children in his car but considers himself morally fine because he always leans out of the window after each killing and says 'Oh, whoops, sorry about that. I didn't really want to kill you, I just didn't give a flying fuck if you died. Big difference, I'm sure you'll agree!' All those reports have been seriously questioned as to their validity. You can read about it in the BBC, not quite famous for being pro-Israeli. Neither is the NY Times. So there you go: no Fox News, which should make you elated. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28688179 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/06/world/middleeast/civilian-or-not-new-fight-in-tallying-the-dead-from-the-gaza-conflict.html?_r=1 The BBC isn't known here for being pro-Hamas, just as a FYI. None of the main British media is. But that issue becomes pretty subjective when one considers that, for many, any criticism of the IDF's action *at all* is, ipso facto, anti-Israeli. quote:
The only source of the reports is essentially the Hamas health ministry. Known for agitprop and disinformation. The numbers of people killed demographically don't make any sense. Suggesting propaganda. Aside from the fact that Hamas bears moral responsibility in the first and only place. I've been kind of fascinated by the reports on the numbers killed in Gaza. This, of all the pieces of information coming out of the area, seems to be questioned the least by anybody - including Israel. Israel is of course known for agitprop and disinformation - indeed, it devotes great resources to it. Hamas doesn't devote great resources to agitprop and disinformation, on account of it doesn't *have* great resources. As for Hamas bearing 'moral responsibility in the first and only place' - crap, of course. An IDF man sits in a tank, wheels his turret around and fires a shell at a school in Gaza - yes, he does indeed bear moral responsibility for that act. Arguably, as much responsibility, perhaps, as any guard in any concentration camp in Nazi Germany who was given orders to shoot at a Jew. You and your supporters ask for proof and evidence and when it's provided, do you refute it? Of course not. Instead you offer slurs: Nazi and the like. You'll by the way find a large number of filfots in the Palestinian areas. Real fascination with the Fuhrer there. And these Nazis are a lot more dangerous than 99% of the moronic Neo-Nazis and 88-lovers in the US, although if we could ship them all out to Gaza today, I'd say that's where they belong.
