Your posts exaggerate the claims made in the article. "emptied a revolver into a child"?! "Hundreds of children killed and thousands injured"!? Only in your active imagination due to your wishful thinking. THAT is why Israelis respond to false "facts". Read some of the posts, and you might understand a little better. Meanwhile, you said it best; Shame on You!

As usual, it is you who ignores the facts for the sake of protecting zionism. The IDF Captan eptied his PISTOL-not a machine gun-into that poor child's head. To kill a whole Palestinian family, the IDF use 1 tonne bombs on apartment buildings. If the Fogels had stayed behind the Green Line, they may be still alive today. Everything in that UNHCR report is based on facts. Unlike you, I read both sides of the story, then come to an intelligent conclusion. Nobody chews me up and/or spits me out Sarah B. You are a fool (male or female).

Solomon, my boy, if Israelis/IDF/ Knessett members were dragged kicking and screaming before an independent court to explain their crimes against just Palestinian children, you, like a brainwashed moron would defend them to the death. Why are CHILDREN as young as 9, shackled, and taken to a MILITARY court, without their parents present, or a lawyer, and kept in prison without being charged for months, tortured, and made to sign false confessions that are written in Hebrew? You people are disgusting! Shame on YOU!

Most "children" arrested were in their teens, arrested for throwing stones (which CAN kill and maim). Children killed while there was fighting were those that Hamas hides behind; in Cast Lead (etc), Israel gave as much warning as they could, but Hamas didn't let people leave- they used them as human shields (see Col. Richard Kemp). The very fact (Bob) that you rely on anything from the UNHRC speaks volumes of you closing your eyes to facts, to reality. The organization is garbage, twists the truth, and makes up its own truth. By the way, there is NO such principal as "proportionality" in warfare. An armie’s aim is to win, not to make the fight "even". "Proportionality" has been touted by Hamas, Hezbollah, etc., and like your posts, is fantasy. You said it best; You people are disgusting. Shame on you!

Bob, you are presumably talking about the case you can find if you go to the BBC News website and search for "Gaza girl death officer acquitted" - if you are, then you will see that the facts are not actually as you claim. Apart from the fact that the incident occurred in Gaza and nowhere near the 'wall' (as you claimed in post #52) the officer in question went through a full investigation and legal process and was acquitted. Even if you disagree with the verdict, it would still not be true to claim ( as you do in post #52) that the captain "emptied his revolver's magazine into the head of a 12 year old Palestinian schoolgirl because she got too close to your apartheid wall" - even if you think he did do this, if you read the BBC news story, you will see she was in fact already dead at that time. Regarding the latest UNCRC report which you claim to have read, I can only say again to you that this report by a UNHRC-related body has rightly been criticized because it is largely based on unsupported claims (not, as you state,' facts') which, given the nature of "Pallywood" cannot be taken at face value and because UN bodies, particularly the UNHRC, have a proven track-record of obsessively singling out Israel for criticism.
