When the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) invaded Gaza, there were countless reports of human rights abuses and what could only be described as cold-blooded murder perpetrated by the IDF.
Of course, the appeasers defended Israeli terrorism as they always do, claiming that Israel was acting in self-defence and that the Palestinians were lying about the attrocities carried out by the IDF. Regular readers of this blog will no doubt recall the many comments from appeasers (mostly Americans and Tories) trying to defend Israeli terrorism. But now we have it from the horse mouth that the IDF murdered Palestinian civillians and committed acts of terrorism.
An Israeli military college has published Israeli soldiers’ accounts of the invasion in which they describe the murder of civillians and how “the climate in general [was that] lives of Palestinians are much, much less important than the lives of our soldiers”. Soldiers also said that Rabbi’s gave out pamphlets talking about the invasion in religious terms, giving them the feeling that it was a religious war.
The final Israeli death count came to 13, three of which were civillians and 2 were soldiers that blew themselves up loading their gun. The Palestinian death count was about 1,300 of which 440 were children and 110 were women.
So, Israeli soldiers are admitting to murder and terrorism. How are the appeasers going to spin this in Israel’s favour?

Makes them as bad as the loons who send rockets over to kill Israeli civilians. Hamas started it, they paid the higher price, serves them right.
Its all the sunshine they get, it drives you crazy, you should see what happens up here after 3 hours of continous sun……..
Couldn’t agree more QM.
Hamas are an elected “government”, who made no secret of their desire to wipe Israel off the map, and with this policy still got elected. I think this
says something about the population of Gaza.
Hamas deliberately hid out in, and around, densely populated areas and specifically schools thereby using their own citizens as shields, which says something about how important the people of Gaza are to Hamas. Oh, and since the ceasefire, has continued to fire rockets into Israel aimed at Israeli civilians.
Hamas have fired many thousand missiles into Israel over the last few years (aiming for civilian areas) so I’m not surprised that the Israelis got a bit fed up. Added to that the increasing range and power of these missiles, as Iranian technology advanced, AND Armadinejad’s statement that he would attack Israel as soon as he gets nukes, it’s also not surprising Israel feel a bit threatened.
Whilst the press, and specifically the BBC love to report all this stuff with an anti-Israeli bias, I’ve never seen any kind of balance, such as the interview published where the British ex-commander of some sort stated he has never known any nation make more effort to avoid civilian casualties during a war as Israel did. This doesn’t make these soldier’s actions right, of course, but things like this happen in war.
It’s laughable that our media are so full of righteous indignation at the Israeli soldier’s actions, when the number of civilian casualties killed by OUR OWN troops in Iraq and Afghanistan number well into the hundreds of thousands, if not more.
That said, I don’t agree with Israel’s decision to attack, I understand it completely, and think they were very patient, I just don’t think it was the right thing to do…..but equally I don’t think they were left with much choice.

So by this token, for everything the UK government does, the entire population should be accountable for? – 7/7 was justified?
Would you stand by the graves of the 440 dead Palestinian children and say it was completely justified?
This is not about either side being right or wrong or taking sides, it’s about innocents on both sides being killed and the never-ending retaliations.
Oh, by the way, did anyone see this?

we know where Israeli arms and ammunition comes from (we supply and make it), i’m sure we can find out who supplies Hamas, once we know, we pressure them through the system and starve both sides of bang, peace will break out, whether the belligerents want it or not.
