1 Operation defensive Shield dummy. If we can pick and choose individual engagements, then we can make the numbers say anything we want. Why, pick the right location and time and you can prove that no Palestinians died at all. Which is why the UN reported confirmed deaths over the operation - as did I.
2 The Palestinians were very lucky. Imagine if there had only been one or two soldiers caught in their ambush (as should have happened) - Israel would have taken half the number of casualties she did. You make my points for me.
3 The Israelis flattened over a square kilometer and damaged the rest. There were 200 "terrorists" involved. Yet nearly a thousand buildings were demolished. So if every building demolished housed "terrorists" then we are discussing "terrorists" which were able to be in five places at once.
4a When a uniformed Palestinian defends his people from attack by Israeli soldiers then he is not a "terrorist," no matter what the American press calls him.
4b Unless Israel has gone steeply downhill since 1996, they have live feeds from 1m resolution satellites, 3cm resolution high altitude aircraft and effectively infinite resolution from RPVs deployable over all of Israel and the occupied territories - including slant views reaching 200 km into all her neighbors' territories. In addition, most of the borders have seismic monitoring lines and listening posts. They also have hot-standby ground attack aircraft that can reach any of these locations in minutes. So what you are saying that some senior officers in the IDF are guilty of treason - because that is the only way in which "unauthorised training" could occur without the IDF being aware of, and responding to it.
