If you make false claims about me, I am entitled to turn them back on you.

"As to your assertions that the IDF are putting their men at risk by trying to reduce civilian casualties, are we to assume that they advised 30 Hamas militants to shelter in a building, then shelled hem to pieces?" (Not militants in the report I read)

The troops that told them to get under cover in the building were infantry- 24 HOURS later the ARTILLARY hit that building. IDF is investigating ( as they should) but this is an example of WHY THE GENEVA CONVENTION states that military targets should not be placed in civilian areas. Another example of the fog of war- IF deliberate I have a lot more confidence that the IDF will punish those responsible than that ANY Hamas will be held to account for their war crimes.
