Barack makes me sick! The Indiscimanent Destruction Fools (IDF) of operation Can't Lead should be hounded for the rest of their lives, and brought to trial for crimes against humanity. Shame Israel! I wish eternal misery to Livni Barack and Olmert, as well as that stupid bitch Major, who defended the miliatary!

Because Jew haters and Jew killers are in a mutual admiration society. The entire world blames all Jews all the time for any trouble and how dare Jews actually go after people who attack them? The arabs occupying Israel are the enemy of all Jews like their brothers an sisters surrounding Israel. Jews do not need peace treaties, that has been proven a false hope. The Jews of Israel just need a strong to take arab land for peace. Yes, every time arabs attack take their land and keep it. That is the only way Jews in Israel will live in peace.

Anyone notice how Barak is looking as stupid as Olmert in his photos?

Hamas fired rockets only at civilians. That is a war crime.

IDF behaved according to its high moral values during Cast Lead, in spite of the fact that Hamas gunmen fired on IDF troops from areas heavily populated with civilians, in clear violation of international law. Gaza is all about crowded civilians, and underground movements are not regular armies. They live within their people. Stemming from high moral ground is ID Attorney for every IDF with the objectives of manipulation of evidence and hiding of criminals' (names).

Acording to "The Spirit of the IDF", The IDF code of ethics: Human Life The soldier will do his utmost to preserve human life, with an awareness of its supreme importance, and will endanger himself and his colleagues only to the extent necessary for implementation of the mission. The sanctity of life in the eyes of IDF troops will be manifest in all of their actions, in thoughtful and precise planning, in astute and safely conducted exercises and in proper implementation, in accordance with the mission, with the appropriate level of risk and caution, and with continual effort to restrict the loss of human life to the extent required by the mission. Purity of Arms The soldier will use his weapon and his power to vanquish the enemy only to the degree required, and will exercise self-restraint in order to prevent unnecessary harm to human life, body, honor and property. Purity of arms among IDF troops means the restrained use they make of their weapons and their power in the implementation of missions, only to the extent necessary for their attainment, without unnecessary harm to human life, body, honor and property, whether to troops or civilians (especially the defenseless), during war and security operations as well as during times of peace and tranquility. Do you think these values were kept during operation "Cast Lead" ?

Israel must treat those supposed "Rights" organizations and the Internationla community with the utter contempt it deserves over such absurd accusations

No sir, they moslty didn't know where the rockets were going, that's why never had big casualties ans such big number. Otherwise, IDF bombings killed a huge number og children. The proportion is so high that is unacceptable that it was even by chance. That was intentional. We know Israel modus' and, it will take time but IDF will have to pay for these coward crimes.

....needs more Cowbell.

Hey Israel, you say you will back and defend your soldiers from lawsuits. Why? Why give credibility to the lawsuits? Israeli soldiers, and their representatives are much too good for this. Why should you have to answer to these cockroaches. This is just more evidence that Muslims, and internationalist elites won't be happy until you die. That's what they want, and they will hate you and give you as much crap as they can until then. So, to hell with them. Continue to defend yourselves, only make sure you make the Muslims die in greater numbers. That's the only thing that gets their attention, and makes them want to leave you be.

You make dumb-asses look like Rhodes scholars.

Hey Bob, quit letting Muslims use your face for a toilet seat. You look silly.

For the millionth time, I see this batted old death-toll "proportion" argument against the IDF. When would you Israel-haters give it a rest? The death proportion is a rather meaningless number, by itself. What really matters is INTENTION. Hamas shot rockets at Israeli cities with the clear intent to kill Israeli civilians. Does the fact that Israelis knew how to protect themselves in shelters, and only a few got killed, absolves Hamas' actions from being called war crimes? Like hell they are. The IDF, in contrast, fired only at armed terrorists. In many places though, these armed terrorists were hiding behind families - hence the high death toll of Palestinian women, elderlies, and children. So if you want to blame anyone for their deaths, blame Hamas. They were the ones who stashed houses full of explosives and forced the families to stay there at gun point. Hamas cares nothing about its fellow Palestinian citizens, it actually WANTS them dead, so that Israel could be blamed for "war crimes" by leftist Israel-haters from Eurabia like yourself.

shame on Hamastan in Gaza and on other islamists who wish no peace but destruction on Israel. may you all burn in hell.

any other army operatng in such an enviroment would do a lot worse. just look at Russians in Grozny, Chechniya or US in Bagdad. Grozny was pretty much destroyed and who knows what are the casualty figures in Bagdad.
