As a follow up to yesterday’s post, one might ask why does this type of news article only appear in the UK’s Guardian? Is it not fit to print in the New York Times?
Israel’s military fired white phosphorus over crowded areas of Gaza repeatedly and indiscriminately in its three-week war, killing and injuring civilians and committing war crimes, Human Rights Watch said today.
In a 71-page report, the rights group said the repeated use of air-burst white phosphorus artillery shells in populated areas of Gaza was not incidental or accidental, but revealed “a pattern or policy of conduct”.
This “policy of conduct” is the obvious handiwork of Ehud “I know what I’m talking about” Barak, who is second only to Arik Sharon in being responsible for lowering the standards of Israel’s army, in its dealings with Palestinian civilians.
