  1. Very interesting seeing this as a headline from NYT. Obviously it’s objectively true, but NYT has been running A lot LOT of defense for Israeli war crimes and I’m very surprised to see such a blatantly correct headline from them.

  2. wow, Israel is even losing the support of the NYT. Few days hey released a report of some 65 Doctors who worked in Gaza and they showed an X-rayS (plural) of children with a sniper bullets in their heads by the IDF.

    here are some of them:

    > Dr. Khawaja Ikram
    > Orthopedic surgeon, 53 years old, Dallas, Texas
    >
    > “One day, while in the E.R., I saw a 3-year-old and 5-year-old, each with a single bullet hole to their head. When asked what happened, their father and brother said they had been told that Israel was backing out of Khan Younis. So they returned to see if anything was left of their house. There was, they said, a sniper waiting who shot both children.”
    >

    > Dr. Ahlia Kattan
    > Anesthesiologist and critical care doctor, 37 years old, Costa Mesa, Calif.
    >
    > “I saw an 18-month-old little girl with a gunshot wound to the head.”
    >

    > Dr. Ndal Farah
    > Anesthesiologist, 42 years old, Toledo, Ohio
    >
    > “I saw many children. In my experience the gunshot wound was often to the head. Many had non-curable, permanent brain damage. It was almost a daily occurrence to have children arrive at the hospital with gunshot wounds to the head.”

  3. > The Times found no evidence of any detainees being harmed or killed while being used as human shields. In one case, an Israeli officer was shot and killed after a detainee sent to search a building either did not detect or failed to report a militant hiding there.

    Just a reminder that the enemy targets civilians directly on the daily,
    that western naivities don’t apply very well in practice when fighting medivial moraled enemies.

    Edit: was military base, not town, removed paragraph
