No civilians were killed here according to the IDF!
It’s not often that I find something about Israel that I can praise but the Jewish organization called B’Tselem offers some hope that not all Jews are bloodthirsty imperialists and religious fanatics.
According to Reuters today, B’Tselem has carried out its own survey in Gaza and has found what everyone else in the world knows: that more than half of the nearly 1,400 casualties in the recent Gaza genocide were civilians.
B’Tselem said that 1,387 Palestinians were killed in the war — 773 civilians, 330 combatants, 248 Hamas policemen and 36 people whom the group was unable to classify as combatants or non-combatants. This finding is in agreement with surveys carried out by other groups like Amnesty International, etc.
Of course the IDF continues to dispute the findings. Surprise, surprise. Lieutenant-Colonel Avital Leibovich, an Israeli military spokeswoman, said in response to B’Tselem’s findings that the group “does not have the tools, nor the intelligence capabilities” to provide a full picture of casualties. With a straight face, she continued to say the IDF went to extravagant lengths to avoid killing civilians.
The photograph above (from Reuters) shows a bomb falling on a building in Rafah. Perhaps, on the sides of the bomb, there are signs in Hebrew which say: TO KILL MILITANTS ONLY.
You will note how the massive explosion carefully avoids destroying everything. The bombs must have sensors in them that seek out civilians and shield them from the firestorm that will destroy the whole building but leave rooms with Palestinian civilians in them untouched. This of course would defy gravity but to the Children of God, nothing is impossible.
Given the enormous destruction that took place in Gaza, (destruction that has not been touched because the Israelis won’t allowed building materials to enter Gaza), I’ll leave you to make your own decision about just how careful the IDF were about avoiding civilian casualties.
But it’s great to see that, via B’Tselem, some Jews have a conscience and that some of them actually seem capable of telling the truth even if it exposes the manifest ugliness and brutality of the Jewish State.
Unfortunately, B’Tselem will not be able to stop the IDF from attacking Iran with nukes.
But, afterwards, it will be able to report the Iranian civilian casualties which, again, the IDF will falsely claim it tried to avoid.
P.S. Of course the IDF is not the only army in the world which pretends it tries to avoid civilian casualties, is it?
Nice to hear that some Jews expose the truth about their own state instead of protecting the Zionist Propaganda! Despite the ongoing violence in the middle east, its always good to hear news like this! Full respects to B’Tselem!

What do you do when you discover your ‘friend’ is a liar ? – hurry up to give he/she more money ?
That’s exactly what the west US/EU does toward it’s ‘friend’ Israel.
Time and again has shown that Zionist’s have no higher moral scruples when it comes to tell a lie when it earns their agenda / interests best and they do not tolerate when a members og the ‘family’ discover the truth to the world. –
I’m thinking about Mordechai Vananu who has been jailed/confined for 29 years because he revealed that Israel has full-grown nuclear weapon ablility.
Another aspect I think of, is, how can a people(Palestinians) controlled by Israel on their land (borders), sea and air, prevented from arming with what a conventional army usually have to its use ( guns, tanks, air arms etc.) be considered combatants / militants.
Question is:
Are you a ‘combatant’ just because you want to fight ‘evilness’ ? without guns ?
If so – I’m also a combatant

Irfaan and John, once, long ago, there was a code of ethics in the business of war. It wasn’t much of a code but it did exist, a kind of gentlemen’s agreement.
In our modern world there is no code. You kill the enemy (including women and children) by any means: napalm, depleted uranium, phosphorous explosives, massive bombs and unerring missiles, drones, nukes, etc. You keep your prisoners in cages and you employ torture and rendition to facilitate your ambitions. Anything goes!
Steadily, we march backwards to the Dark Ages!

So steadilhy. Too few people care about working to make the world a better place. Peace is the primary issue of our time, but where are those actively insisting that their zionst-occupied governments end aggressive warfare.
