B'Tselem Adds to the Chorus of False Gaza War Allegations
(NGO Monitor) In its report on IDF strikes during the 2014 Gaza conflict, the B'Tselem NGO's claims regarding international law are marked by major omissions and distortions. It notably fails to state that under the laws of war, the presence of civilians does not render military objectives immune from attack. B'Tselem has a history of presenting faulty information on civilian casualties in alleged attacks against "families bombed at home." Independent studies have identified at least 14 combatants present in such incidents, whom B'Tselem misleadingly portrayed as innocent civilians.
