""Despite the claims, the IDF stood behind its estimate that between 1,100 to 1,200 people were killed in the Strip during the fighting, more than two-thirds of them Hamas members.

The army initially believed that the number of civilian casualties was higher, as many Hamas men walked outside their houses dressed in civilian clothes, leaving their weapons at home.""


That's really interesting, BBruce.

So Israeli soldiers deliberately fired on, and killed, unarmed men in civilian clothing, unidentifiable as Hamas supporters, let alone as Hamas fighters, and then, somehow were able to identify the political allegiance of the corpses.

Even Lewis Carroll couldn't have thought up a fantasy of that calibre.

If it weren't so bloody tragic, I'd be laughing for a month.
