Well that's certainly a fulsome justification of filly's claim that the FT published false news.
I find it unconvincing. Like filly's claim
More fuss about nasty words than about nasty actions.

Strangely enough israeli soldiers have reported that they were ordered to commit what could be classed as atrocities...
So not that different at all, and equally no excuse for the 'just following orders' rhetoric...
And bibi's mental health/stability is certainly a debatable issue!
You could assume that, or try to check it's provenance. But let's face it even if it's real you don't care.
Before Israel's policy of assassinating journalists and cameramen was so successful, the BBC showed film of Israeli soldiers arresting numbers of Palestinian men, and breaking their legs by dropping large rocks on them.
Today, as we know, they have modernised by shooting Arab children and adults in the knees, to condemn them to a life of disability or to an early death.
Bombing hospitals, shelling ambulances, killing paramedics and torturing doctors fit well into Israel's inhuman racist policies.
I think Highwayman once suggested he would be willing to revise his support for Israel's actions, but I don't believe that was true.

I 100% do not support the type of behavior that you have described, shooting children, shooting in the kneecap. I agree with what Israel is doing in eradicating hamas and this is a good thing. I do not agree with shooting, starving and bombing innocent people. This is the part that is making it very difficult to stand with Israel. However I am in the firm belief that the Israeli army is better than these allegations and that this is a very small minority of Israeli soldiers.

And you can hold that belief given the number of reports around that say that the atrocities are part of IDF policy?
Some on here say that the latest acts of murders of innocent civilians around the so called aid centres are a lie...
"A former security contractor for Gaza's controversial new Israel- and US-backed aid distribution sites has told the BBC that he witnessed colleagues opening fire several times on hungry Palestinians who had posed no threat, including with machine guns.
On one occasion, he said, a guard had opened fire from a watchtower with a machine gun because a group of women, children and elderly people was moving too slowly away from the site"
"Continuing his description of the incident at one of the GHF sites - in which he said guards fired on a group of Palestinians - the former contractor said: "As that happened, another contractor on location, standing on the berm overlooking the exit, opened up with 15 to 20 shots of repetitive weapons fire at the crowd.
"A Palestinian man dropped to the ground motionless. And then the other contractor who was standing there was like, 'damn, I think you got one'. And then they laughed about it."
The contractor, who spoke to us on condition of anonymity, said GHF managers had brushed off his report as a coincidence, suggesting that the Palestinian man could have "tripped" or been "tired and passed out".

So is that a lie or not?
Depends where his 'red lines' are...
Hopefully not similar to the lines in the sand/on the map...
A bit out of date, but...
