Israel violated laws of war in Gaza airstrikes says Human Rights Watch - Polidicks

[t]http://www.hangthebankers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Gaza-Israeli-air-strike.jpg[/t] [QUOTE]JERUSALEM - A U.S.-based rights group said Israel violated laws of war in a series of airstrikes it conducted during an eight-day military operation last November against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. Human Rights Watch said it counted 14 airstrikes in which there didn't appear to be a valid military target, and four others targeting militants, but which used disproportionate force. HRW said the attacks killed more than 40 Palestinian civilians. They included a bomb attack on a home in the northern Gaza Strip town of Jebalia that killed Fouad Hijazi, a 46-year-old janitor, and two of his children, ages 4 and 2.

I'm glad my friend in the IDF doesn't take part in any of this shit, he is just a mechanic

Well no shit

[QUOTE=Apache249;39582790]So he's not dropping the bombs, just maintaining the planes so others can go out and drop them...[/QUOTE] Actually he repairs trucks, also wow way to be a dick.

I'll guess the U.S. Using your logic I can thus state that even though you don't partake in actively killing people in the Middle East, that since you pay the taxes that fund such activities, you're just as bad as anyone that is? Or since your tax money goes to help fund food aid for North Korea, a known human rights violating, oppressive shit hole, you're clearly a piece of shit whom wants to further the suffering of the Korean people? Nice logic, no wonder you still use Vista.

[QUOTE=Apache249;39582790]So he's not dropping the bombs, just maintaining the planes so others can go out and drop them...[/QUOTE] isn't IDF service mandatory? speaking totally out of memory right now but i'm pretty sure the IDF has conscription, you can't really blame someone for being in the military when they had no choice, especially when he takes a non combat role

IDF is the most hardcore form of conscription, men and women, except for hardcore Jews and those who are disabled.

[QUOTE=Apache249;39582790]So he's not dropping the bombs, just maintaining the planes so others can go out and drop them...[/QUOTE] He makes the tool that is used to kill, therefore he is a murderer. As such, we must execute all employees in any gun company.

[QUOTE=Apache249;39582790]So he's not dropping the bombs, just maintaining the planes so others can go out and drop them...[/QUOTE] Okay, heres what you do if you don't want to get in the IDF: Cripple yourself Become a complete orthodox Jew and devote your entire life to study Sounds easy?
