Letter from a war criminal
Last week, I reported on a website that posted photographs and details of some 200 IDF officers and soldiers whom the website named as 'war criminals' for their actions during Operation Cast Lead. Here's a letter from a reservist who is insulted that he wasn't named to the list. It's quite powerful. As it turns out, the Israeli who produced the list – and there is almost no doubt it’s an Israeli, who is intimately familiar with the IDF – did not do a particularly thorough job. In any case, he missed me.Read it all. The picture is a 'Palestinian' crying over a friend who had just been executed during Operation Cast Lead. No, not by Israel. By Hamas.
I served in the Gaza Division war room for 26 days and saw everything in real time. I saw how every time we had to curb Qassam fire from populated areas, officials considered it seven times and meticulously calculated the firing range and angle, as not to hurt civilians by mistake.
I also saw how, to be on the safe side, the army consulted with its legal advisor and with a representative of the Coordination and Liaison Administration who were regularly deployed in the war room.
I saw the great seriousness in addressing a water pipe that burst in Rafah, and the kind of effort invested in order to bring food into the Strip and allow ambulances to evacuate wounded Palestinians from the war zone.
I also participated in assessment sessions with the division commander; a major part of them pertained to humanitarian issues.
I walked around Sderot, which looked like a ghost town after sustaining dozens of Qassam rockets, and I also saw the Grad missiles making their way to Ashkelon without anybody being able to stop them. Believe me, it’s not a heart-warming sight.

The truth is of no interest to the Goldstones, obamas, UK foreign officers, Clintons and all the rest of the anti-Semite attackers of Jews and Israel!
Just as the truth is of no interest to the lefty Trots and islamofascists worldwide: they are getting a massive amount of (sexual) satisfaction from tormenting Jews and trying to destroy Israel!
We must not go any further down the road of appeasement because WE WILL NEVER SATISFY THE ABOVE!
NO AMOUNT OF CHECKING AND NOT FIRING AT CHILDREN WILL APPEASE THESE BLOOD-THIRSTY CANNIBALS, AFTER ALL THEY MURDER THEIR OWN CHILDREN WITHOUT COMPUNCTION.
FROM NOW ON WE MUST DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO SAVE ISRAEL, NO LESS.
