Corrected.

Yep. 

I think the flattened Gaza is now some massive carpet to sweep all the Israeli government/IDF (lighthouse friendly description) war crimes under.

The IDF attacked and shot dead unarmed emergency staff driving in marked vehicles with full lights on, then buried the dead in their uniforms, including some with close up wounds associated with execution. They even buried the vehicles.

The IDF told the world that there were no emergency lights on, no emergency workers, the vehicles were unmarked and their soldiers had in fact wiped out a terrorist convoy.....then the evidence appeared from the mass grave, the lies were exposed, so they said they made 15 mistakes.

Serious question Hypo, which bit of that whole shooting do you not consider to be a war crime, and why has it confused you?

Looks like the troops involved gave a false account of what happened, conflicting evidence then emerged and the IDF subsequently admitted fault and promised a thorough investigation. I'd be expecting that sort of response from any nation involved in a conflict of this sort.

I'll repeat rallyboy's question -

"Serious question Hypo, which bit of that whole shooting do you not consider to be a war crime, and why has it confused you?"

And add to it -

Are there any circumstances in which you'd condemn the IDF/Israeli government?

What actually emerged are the facts.

I understand who you mean when you describe the IDF/Israel as a nation, though I believe there are others who don't.

Does it concern you that the IDF/Israeli government has a very long history of misinformation along these lines and it's only when facts emerge that a half-apology is issued, and do you think the soldiers responsible who were clearly following orders, have anything to fear from their own internal war crime investigation?

Other than quiet reprimands for failing to check properly that all witnesses and evidence had been destroyed.

I'm comfortable with waiting until the investigation has concluded before steaming in with criticism. Otherwise I'd just be criticising the IDF for some imagined future crime of being unduly lenient towards the perpetrator of a crime before they have actually done it. Any member of the IDF who is judged to have committed a crime should be properly dealt with the same as any other army during a war.

There have been countless claims of “alleged” war crimes but you won’t find hypochondriac criticising the IDF for any of them. In fact he thinks that it is appropriate to post laughing emojis instead.

Back to the IDF who, apparently, take great care in choosing their targets.

If the IDF want a kill zone why can’t they use their own land rather than encroaching further into Gaza and Palestinian land?
