From Today’s New York Times: “The Israeli Army…released the conclusions of its inquiry into the bombing on Sunday in Qana that resulted in the deaths of 29 civilians sheltering in a basement…” “The report said that the army did not know there were civilians in the building. `*Had the information indicated that civilians were present in the building, the attack would not have been carried out.*`[italics added] The army said it regretted the loss of life.” Now “where did I hear that one before?”:/1056597461/ It’s worth expanding on my previous conclusion: Next time you hear anyone defending the honesty and integrity of the Israeli army and government, or hear the Israeli government calling someone else (e.g. Sheikh Nasrallah) a liar, just respond with two words: “Dan Halutz.”
