WARNINGS DO NOT ABSOLVE WAR CRIMES

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The Israelis have been in the habit of calling some Palestinian families to warn them that their homes are about to be bombed. Most of these homes are owned by civilians most of whom have no connection to Hamas or any other political or militant organisation.

Deliberately bombing civilians is a war crime but by warning the civilian occupiers that their homes are about to be destroyed, the Israelis believe that it somehow absolves them of any crime. Furthermore, not only do the Israelis think that it absolves them of crimes, but it also provides them with an opportunity to then accuse Hamas of using civilians as ‘human shields’ for having refused to allow the civilians to evacuate.

How would it be, one wonders, if an Hamas operative telephoned the mayor of say Sderot and told him that the town hall was about to be bombed by rockets but, due to the fact that they can’t guarantee the accuracy of the rockets, it would be best if he evacuated the entire township within the next ten minutes. And if the mayor then refuses to evacuate could he not then be accused of using civilians as human shields?

      When the Palestinian’s get tired of it, they can reign in Hamas and ALL the other TERROR groups they TOLLERATE living with them.
      Until then, they will die with their families, so that the LEADERS of the various terror groups can live OUT of Gaza and tell the rest when and where to die.

        Well they can hardly be expected to martyr themselves, now could they? How would they get to spend their millions? What?

        There’s an estimated 1,200 millionaires in the upper echelon of Hamas. Heck even Mahmoud Abbas admitted to 800 rich elites.

        Ironically they got voted in to combat corruption within the PLO. Who’s laughing now?

      True: Warnings do not absolve war crimes.
      Also true: Crying “war crimes” continually does not mean that they have occurred.

      Does this remind anyone else of the muslim habit of demanding a full blown FBI “hate crime” investigation of bacon left on the door of a mosque? Poor widdle persecuted muswims…

      If anyone actually thinks that Israel is the bad guy in this, they have not been paying attention.
