38. the primary conclusion is that the IDF was intentionally evil and deliberately targeted civilians
Edited on Wed Sep-23-09 10:52 PM by shira
such an accusation is demonstrably false given expert testimony like this...

“I think – I would say that from my knowledge of the IDF and from the extent to which I have been following the current operation, I don’t think there has ever been a time in the history of warfare when any army has made more efforts to reduce civilian casualties and deaths of innocent people than the IDF is doing today in Gaza.

-Colonel Richard Kemp - Commander of British Forces in Afghanistan 2003


...and as I showed you above, there's evidence the Goldstone mission had every intention of letting Hamas off the hook for war crimes (shielding) while at the same time putting all the blame - and assigning the worst of intentions - on Israel.

Thus, the mission's primary charges against the IDF are demonstrably false.
