'This is a recruiting campaign for Hamas'

Haaretz
Editorial, Israel, May 20

"The damage to Israel's image in the world is immense ... The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has always inculcated its soldiers with the belief that innocent people must not be hurt ... The commanders of the army understood that, without a moral basis for its actions, even the best-equipped army cannot win. These moral values, however, have been badly eroded in the long years of occupation and with the action in Rafah, they have suffered yet another blow, so that our national fortitude has been undermined.

"Not everything is permissible in the name of security. The military operation in Rafah is clumsy from the operational point of view and its results are destructive.
If there are indeed any security achievements these will be outweighed by the serious harm done to the town of Rafah and its residents - and also to the IDF."
