Re: Balls
@AC - '"there's video footage of IDF soldiers beating children, and shooting a nurse and disabled man in a wheelchair. That isn't propaganda."
Just last week : Palestinians ( Hamas really not Palestinians in general) fire 2 dozen rockets at Sderot, do you think that the Rockets know how to target "only" soldiers.'
So were those children, nurse and man accused of firing the rockets? Were they in the process of firing rockets? No? So what was the justification for beating and shooting them? A disciplined military force should be targetting combatants, not civilians. A police force should be arresting suspects, not beating them. Misbehaviour by the IDF ignored, if not condoned, by the Israeli government fuels support for those who want revenge, perpetuating the cycle of violence. The Northern Ireland Troubles are a blight on the record of the British government of the time, so that is not a shining moral standard for comparison.
