“There are bodies on the roads and under the rubble,” said Mahmoud Basal, 39, a civil defence official. “It is total destruction.”

A document circulated to Israeli combat soldiers in recent weeks, revealed by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, talks of “exposing large areas” – a euphemism, the paper says, for destroying buildings and infrastructure in such a way that Hamas fighters cannot hide in them but no one can live in them either.

  1. First they had them go to camp where they were going to be concentrated in density. Then they determined their enemies were among the concentrated. They accepted the indiscriminate killing of innocents as collateral damage. Vibe check: Are they still the victims?

  3. We had people here talking about how if there are buildings in a refugee camp, its not really a camp and its ok to bomb people (as if they didn’t also bomb camps with tents).

    It’s unfortunate but they’ll start appearing again to excuse it soon.

  4. Don’t start a war…

    I wonder how many of your grandparents were crying for the German and Japanese civilians who were actually and literally carpet, fire, and atomic bombed back into the stone age…
