@IonicStormFront It sure is rough with all the wars in Canada. When Iran Syria and Lebanon are your neighboring countries then we'll see how peace loving you really are. less than 50 of Israelis of age actually go do the force draft surely this shows the massive appeal of the IDF in the eyes of many Israelis. Get real you know nothing of the IDF. In Israel everybody knows it's boring as hell.

Lol@uhadfji98ugdfyhg78da.....You actually sound like one of Hitler's youth. "Formed in 1926, the Hitler Youth involved seven million boys and girls by 1939 and was instrumental in Hitler's rise to power. What appealed to youth: "Excitement, adventure, and new heroes to worship," hope, power, and the "opportunity to rebel against parents, teachers, clergy, and other authority figures."" That's like the IDF's motto.....

@uhadfji98ugdfyhg78da either you repeat propaganda with knowing it or you are a brainwashed fool! sorry to say this but the facts just dont support your statement at all but its a standart line from the israeli defence ministy! cant get it why people would repeat that bullshit. thats like saying. Man what you want the us military just searches WMD in iraq =)

@dsleeperhold It's a justification because the death of civilians is in the very nature of war. Let me drive point home to you, I'm not saying being in a state of war makes killing civilians ok, im saying it's unavoidable, and the IDF does all it can to avoid it. If you think right and wrong are decided simply by tally of deaths you are mistaken.

@uhadfji98ugdfyhg78da Like when they strike a target house full of innocents with an inert, empty missile shell to warn the occupants to leave before they blow it up and leave man, woman, and child dead. In any case, the numbers don't reflect what you're saying - the ratio of Palestinian to Israeli child deaths by the other side is approximately 10:1.

If you think that there is such a thing as 'lawful accidental killing of civilians' in the LOIAC you are mistaken.

@uhadfji98ugdfyhg78da Was that before or after white phosphorous was used?
