Israel’s Mistakes in Gaza



As I’ve said, it is my opinion that the world should unite against Hamas and any terrorist organization whose sole intent is to commit genocide by wiping any group of people off the face of the earth: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45627 Nevertheless, I have also said that Israel has a tendency of getting carried away and I will cite what I see as several mistakes Israel has made the Gaza 2009 conflict.

Media ban. I can understand how they don’t want the media to get in the way of a military action. The media can be injured as well as release Intel before it should be released from a strategic war perspective.

However, censorship of the media during any war is also a concern for the people who want to know what is going on behind closed doors. Both sides are capable of lying in this dispute. It was very helpful to have the media show pictures of crazy woman running to were a bomb warning was given to die for the cause and pretend to be an innocent martyr. That was just plain deranged. It is also helpful to have the media there to find out if Israel is getting carried away.
.
Allegations have been made that Israel has been using shells with white phosphorous on civilians, which causes serious burns. Israel denies this but medical reports have come in of victims with strange burns. It has been proposed that Israel has been using the phosphorous as a smoke screen not on civilians. Having the media there could confirm those reports.
.
However, the photo above clearly shows blue shells marked M825A1, an American made white phosphorous ammunition. Is that what the Americans sold Sadam to use on Iran and then hang him for using? Couldn’t be.

Come on now that is outrageous. I know the Americans are known for friendly fire during war because they simply like to blow shit up, but this is not the first time Israel has hit UN. Remember the Canadian at a peacekeeping post on the border in Lebanon? We expect better from Israel.
.
Three schools have been hit with Israeli shells. Israel claims that Hamas was firing from one of the schools, which is entirely likely. These wackos will use children as human shields to protect themselves but also to increase civilian deaths and somehow blame that on Israel.

In any good guy versus bad guy drama, when the good guy chases the bad guy, the bad guy always grabs a woman or child as a hostage and says stop or I’ll shoot. The good guy then hesitates and waits for his opportunity to take out the bad guy while saving the hostage at the same time. The good guy doesn’t say oh yeah and then shoot the bad guy and the hostage. It just doesn’t work that way.

If the bad guy runs into a school full of children the good guy doesn’t blow the whole school up and say well we got the bad guy and it certainly doesn’t blow up three schools and say well we did get the bad guy hiding out in one of the schools. That is outrageous. Not to excuse the bad guy at all. I’m just saying that Israel needs to demonstrate a little compassion for all human life. Oh is that the impossible dream? My bad. Watch out for the next famine. Go go go Joseph. (Jacob had more than one child as well) Even Joseph and Judah used to fight with each other. Cheers.
