The Israeli Army Is Still the Most Moral in the World
(Ha'aretz) Avi Garfinkel - It doesn't matter what the circumstances are, what Hamas' actions and stated intentions are, how many warning leaflets the IDF drops or how many calls it makes urging Palestinian civilians to evacuate; the IDF and Israel will always be accused of war crimes. During the Iraq War, the Americans directly killed 300,000 civilians. The number of Gazans dead when the war ends will be dramatically lower than the number of Vietnamese, Afghani and Iraqi civilians killed by the Soviet and American armies. The New York Times claims that the proportion of civilian casualties had climbed from 40% in previous conflicts to 60%. This figure actually proves the IDF's morality, because in Iraq, the Americans killed ten times as many civilians as soldiers.
