#7  I would add, right after 9/11 some imam said, "there are no civilians." Let's hold them to that.

#6  #2 knows that. It's inconvenient to the narrative against the Jooos.

#5  Re #2: As I understand the Geneva Convention, it is a war crime to use human shields, to place weapons in hospitals, schools and mosques. If an attacker attacks these people/sites, it is not the attacker who is the war criminal. It is the side that used human shields, etc.

#4  tell them to stop these calls immediately.

Looking at it from the perspective of streamlining business processes, this is a great opportunity to contact people about their car warranty or installing new storm windows, as well as marketing surveys and targeting.

#3  "The enemy exploits such information to try to ensure the presence of our brother fighters in houses it intends to target," Hezbollah said in a statement.

Smart.

#2  So they don't only know that they are bombing civilians, but they know exactly *who* they a retargeting?


Do they or do they not realize that this removes the last legal fig leaf of "it wasn't a war crime because there was no intent"?


My guess is that the left hand isn't talking to the right hand.Some JAG needs to light a fire under Mossad and tell them to stop these calls immediately.

#1  Well, if they don't heed the call "Get out of your house & start running!", they have nobody to blame but themselves.
