Re This looks like a "Tit for Tat" to make up for their Pal criticism

Tell me you are joking, Bill.

If not, as much as I like you, I will have to bury you for this extremely childish comment that that means you think Amnesty International accused Israel of war crimes to make up for their own criticism of Palestinians.

Could you, for a moment, stop to consider that maybe they are an independent organization that does not take sides but criticizes both sides at times?

Of course, this would be unthinkable... And so would the possibility, however remote, that Amnesty International is not lying in their statements of witnesses, post-mortem analyses, etc. It would of course be more acceptable to just laugh at Amnesty International, and to think they are accusing Israel of war crimes as "tit for tat" for their criticism of Palestine.

Really.... Does this seem logical to anyone for one second?

>>There is no there, "there" to complain about.<<

I think there's plenty of blame to go around on both sides. Using Palestinians as human shields is reprehensible.

As we've discussed, and agreed, war is hell, and human beings involved in war become desensitized, and dehumanize their opponents.

Those of us who are not on the front line don't have to become desensitized ourselves.
