1. There's a lot of stuff in there that's horrible, that should not have happened, and that makes me, as as Jew and a supporter of Israel, feel ashamed. 2. At the same time, however, the tone of the report and the language used strikes me as significantly out of line with the facts it presents, and deeply biased against Israel. Far from describing gross wanton atrocities, the data recounted there seem to indicate a tough military operation carried out against armed enemy fighters that also caused significant damage and suffering to people and places in the fighters' immediate vicinity. The one time the troops are presented as learning that civilians alone were present, they are described as having turned away. As the subtitle perhaps unconsciously implies, the authors, I believe, were hoping to find atrocities, and presented what they could muster up to fit their preconceived story line. I would be ashamed to run such a piece of journalism in any publication I was associated with. tb@justMHO.com
