I have no doubt that this is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the claims of Operation Cast Lead.
It would be an interesting idea to create a "Media Museum" based on the three factors: Claims by the Media and or NGO, claims of individuals and claims of the government and present this information side by side to show how the International or shall I say Islamic community manipulated truth to attack a people with genocide. They call it Lawfare, but I would love to see a museum dedicated to exposing the lies. There are plenty of museums dedicated to atrocity, but how many museums are dedicated to exposing lies? I propose that there should be a museum dedicated in Israel to the abuse of mediaLast week , it was reported on a website that posted photographs and details of some 200 IDF officers and soldiers whom the website named as 'war criminals' for their actions during Operation Cast Lead. Here's a letter from a reservist who is insulted that he wasn't named to the list. It's quite powerful.
As it turns out, the Israeli who produced the list – and there is almost no doubt it’s an Israeli, who is intimately familiar with the IDF – did not do a particularly thorough job. In any case, he missed me.Read it all. The picture is a 'Palestinian' crying over a friend who had just been executed during Operation Cast Lead. No, not by Israel. By Hamas.
I served in the Gaza Division war room for 26 days and saw everything in real time. I saw how every time we had to curb Qassam fire from populated areas, officials considered it seven times and meticulously calculated the firing range and angle, as not to hurt civilians by mistake.
I also saw how, to be on the safe side, the army consulted with its legal advisor and with a representative of the Coordination and Liaison Administration who were regularly deployed in the war room.
I saw the great seriousness in addressing a water pipe that burst in Rafah, and the kind of effort invested in order to bring food into the Strip and allow ambulances to evacuate wounded Palestinians from the war zone.
I also participated in assessment sessions with the division commander; a major part of them pertained to humanitarian issues.
I walked around Sderot, which looked like a ghost town after sustaining dozens of Qassam rockets, and I also saw the Grad missiles making their way to Ashkelon without anybody being able to stop them. Believe me, it’s not a heart-warming sight.
