Amnesty: Israel killed hundreds of Gaza civilians

Israeli troops killed hundreds of unarmed civilian adults and children, broke laws and committed war crimes during their winter offensive in Gaza, Amnesty International said in a scathing report released Thursday.

Re: Amnesty: Israel killed hundreds of Gaza civilians

At least they're not that biased, and unlike the UN, they actually realize that Hamas are deliberately killing civilians.

But I don't think they have neither the resources nor the means to create an accurate picture of what really went on in that operation.

You are free to believe the politicaly motivated extremists at A.I., but their bias is quite clear.

On the contrary

Re: Amnesty: Israel killed hundreds of Gaza civilians

Simply condemning Hamas is really not even close to be enough.
They are a bunch of terrorists.
Murderers of innocents out of hatred, religious or political motives.
What's so hard in calling them terrorists, and admitting that they do indeed try to kill innocents?

Its called war, do you know what that involves?

Do you know what the British and Americans did at Dresden?


How about Serbia, how many civilians died as a result of NATO's actions?

It is war, and war is hell. Perhaps Hamas can stop backstabbing its own people and start forming a goverment with Fatah to start negotiations with Israel.

Re: Amnesty: Israel killed hundreds of Gaza civilians

Quote:
Amnesty International found that the victims of the attacks it investigated were not caught in the crossfire during battles between Palestinian militants and Israeli forces, nor were they shielding militants or other military objects. Many were killed when their homes were bombed while they slept. Others were sitting in their yard or hanging the laundry on the roof. Children were struck while playing in their bedrooms or on the roof, or near their homes. Paramedics and ambulances were repeatedly attacked while attempting to rescue the wounded or recover the dead.
Impunity for war crimes in Gaza and southern Israel a recipe for further civilian suffering | Amnesty International

Terrorists tactics?
