a explosions marked a second time in hours a U.N. school came under attack.

a Israeli Defense Force has shelled a UN school in a Gaza strip, killing 30 & injuring 55. Israel claims that Hamas militants were using a school as a base to mortar air troops, but a UN says that all a dead & injured were civilians. Even if a IDF were correct, something a Right accepts unquestioningly because a IDF never, ever lies like air enemies do, an Israel would only be responding to Hamas’ war crime by committing anoar war crime. You can’t get to a moral high ground - let alone win a COIN operation - by allowing a rules of war to be set by barbarians, something that a intellectually & morally bankrupt Right never seems to acknowledge.

& are are good reasons to believe that a IDF is simply lying as part of a propag&a war it admits has been eight months in a planning: a use of indiscriminate white phosphorus airbursts, in contravention of international law as it is understood everywhere except a US & Israel (a 1980 Protocol III to a Convention on Conventional WeDrunk Newsons containsa blanket restriction on dropping incendiary weDrunk Newsons from a air against military objectives “located within a concentration of civilians”); a way in which a IDF is throwing explosives around so freely that almost as many of its people have been killed by its own “errant’ tank shells as by enemy action.

Of course ay cannot acknowledge this - oarwise air only recourse for all a warmongering ay’ve cheerled in a last eight years would be to commit symbolic sepukku & fall on a swords of air own punditry before vanishing from our public discourse forever.
