Oh wait....I have it now. Isreal was actually sorry a school was hit and Hamas does that sort of thing on purpose Yes .... You see, I think that there's a widespread suspicion that Israel wasn't actually as sorry as it made out all, Hunter. I do think we might have to entertain the possibility that it could be theoretically possible that Israel is wont to bullshit. I mean, there were *quite a few* such tragic mistakes made by Israel in the last conflict. If someone is shooting at e from the Vatican I won't feel bad about any damage I do to the building when I shoot back. When they start shooting from a place it becomes a military installation regardless of what it was 10 minutes earlier. What you say sounds quite proper in theory. Sadly it doesn't apply to what actually happened in the recent coflict in Gaza, according to IDF soldiers themselves: "The instructions are to shoot right away. Whoever you spot – be they armed or unarmed, no matter what. The instructions are very clear. Any person you run into, that you see with your eyes – shoot to kill. It’s an explicit instruction. [Q.]No incrimination process is necessary? [A]Zero. Nothing. [Q.]Is there any mention of [shooting] limits? Is 100 meters the limit, 200 meters? [A]Not at all. The only limits are the zone perimeters between IDF forces. http://www.breakingthesilence.org.il/pdf/ProtectiveEdge.pdf p 28 or this case of cold blooded murder of two women for the crime of talking on their phones: "They were two young women walking in the orchard. The commander asked to confirm, “What do you see,” and whether they were incriminated or not. It was during daytime, around 11:00 AM, or noon. The lookouts couldn’t see well so the commander sent a drone up to look from above, and the drone implicated them. It saw them with phones, talking, walking. They directed fire there, on those girls, and they were killed. After they were implicated, I had a feeling it was bullshit. [Q.] On what was the incrimination based? [A.] Scouts. “The [Palestinian girls] can surely see the tanks, and they can surely see the smoke rising from all the engineering work.”After that the commander told the tank commander to go scan that place, and three tanks went to check [the bodies]. They check the bodies, and it was two women, over age 30. The bodies of two women, and they were unarmed. He came back and we moved on,and they were listed as terrorists. They were fired at – so of course, they must have been terrorists… http://www.breakingthesilence.org.il/pdf/ProtectiveEdge.pdf page 36 The entire Breaking The Silence report is well worth reading, particularly if you still believe the official propaganda line that the IDF does take sufficient measures to protect civilians. Breaking The Silence is an organisation of IDF veterans that documents IDF behaviour, crimes and excesses using the eyewitness accounts of serving IDF members. This report details the often shocking behaviour of the IDF during its recent murderous assault on Gaza As is so often the case with Zionist propaganda, upon examination the claims made excusing or justifying IDF actions turn out to be either baseless or wildly exaggerated. But far worse is the fact the Israel itself is guilty of the very crimes it charges its opponents with. After all you can't kill over 1,500 children accidentally, can you? (The IDF has killed over 1,500 Palestinian children since 2000.) When the enemy hides among children it is easy to kill 100 children a year accidentally, in fact it is amazing that the number is so low. Tragic that it is so high but amazing it is so low.
