Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Can you show us how they cases here "took reasonable efforts" to avoid or minimise casualties
Yes.
In accordance with the law, warning were issued before the strikes, and highly accurate munitions used near civilian homes.

How do you define "illegally operating"
Firing indiscriminate missiles loaded with explosives and fragments at civilians.

"As I said, they achieved an extraordinarily and historically low number of civilian casualties,"
Utter crap - where is your evidence to back this up?

How selective your memory is Jim!
We have discussed this all before.
I think it was Bobad who first posted the statistics with comparisons to recent similar actions like the NATO airstrikes in Yugoslavia.


Incidentally - none of this "international law" invention is in any way relevant to any of this.

Yes it is.
The IDF action was in response to the rain of anti-personnel missiles on its people.
