For all the Israel haters the news just sounded to good to be false.
I wait for the people claiming that this is just a cover-up plot.

Before anyone says something about the israeli media not being reliable, The story originally came from israeli papers...

A few more articles clearing up the truth:

I had the feeling the claims made by these people weren't true. I just knew it.
Sigh...

Vive le Québec libre! Vive la Wallonie libre! Vive la francophonie!
do you honestly think people would care ? were the bad guys from the start.
So wait, some people are reporting that it is false and some people are reporting it true.... So who do we believe? The people on one side or the people on the other....
First of all, ridicule me if you want, I read Al Jazeera (OH HO HO) and I find that reliable. I amn't going to believe some people and nothing coming out of the IDF's mouths in my opinion is true. If it was so true how come they blew up a UN truck? How come journalists were not allowed into Gaza?
Now that the whole situation is over, they are allowing people to report. In my opinion grade A BS.
I will stay on my side of the balance here and you continue with yours.
Look at this, that is one article that says the IDF did shoot civilians.... Hmmmmm?
IDF at their best Now I know I said I don't believe it but you do beleive the IDF so enjoy this read.
Wow you people have a resistancy against facts. My posted article relates to yours which is older.
And trusting Al-Jazeera is just ... LOL? You know, I get my Second World War education from the Wochenschau and the Völkischer Beobachter.
The point is that the soldiers are now proven to not even have been on the scenes of the reported atrocities. But as I said its just to good news for people with an agenda to miss out the chance.
BTW since the media (or better palestinian cameramen working for western media) are very good in doing Pallywood production I would have kept them out to. Its common sense, not a conspiracy.![]()
Firstly, what is wrong with Al-Jazeera? It is a highly credible and independant source of news. Unlike the outrageous reporting of the Jerusalem Post that is run by the government.
Secondly, if you had read the article it actually says:
Some of the worst reporting I have ever read. Paramount to late night Fox. Do you honestly think because one man, this 'source' tells the JP its not 'actually true' that all of a sudden this exempts the IDF for the continous murder, rape, false imprisonment and theft?Allegations that IDF soldiers deliberately shot and killed Palestinian civilians in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead have been found to be categorically untrue in official army investigations, an IDF source told the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. (wow, then it must be true!)
"The marksman's commander ran up the stairs of a Palestinian home, got up on the roof, and asked the marksman why he shot at the civilians. The marksman said he did not fire on the civilians. But the soldiers on the first floor of that house heard the commander's question being shouted. And from that point, the rumor began to spread," the source added.
"We can say with absolute certainty that the marksman did not fire on the woman and her children. Later, the company commander spoke with the marksman and his commander. We know with certainty that this incident never took place," he said.
Ok yeah, I read wrong. It seems the previous owner (who was mayor of Jerusalem) died along time ago. Read and made the connection, should have looked further. No doubt it is heavily subsidized no?
Anyhow, I would consider a foreign newspaper, particularly Al Jazeera English, to present a far more obejetive picture in light of the circumstances. In example, the Jpost is the only newspaper in the world that one more than one occassion bares the plane headline - IDF the most moral army in the world.
There is even a section dedicated to Iran in the weekly additions, eloquently titled "The Iranian Threat". Although perhaps Ahmadinejad's behaviour arguably warrants such a section.
It isnt an argument that I will regulalry take, most newspapers are awful. But in light of the conext, it is my opinion some are far more unreliable and spew a far more of bs than others. That of which the Jpost regularly does.
It is now proven that one of the soldiers who resorted to those claims was not even in Gaza. Who needs an independence source to prove that? About Al-Jazeera: It is founded by Arab Sheikhs not known for their democratic outlook and tends to publish material given to them by Al Quaeda with delight. Also you can see their orientation by their frequent use of the word Shahid for a suicide bomber. A station catering to the muslim masses.
to you support islam ? the kind of islam that stones to death people ?
hamas is supported by iran , a country that long ago declared their plans to destoy my country.
dont comeing in a few years when some bearded guy comes and tells you to convert to islam or to be beheaded.

I'll wait for some more credible proof before deciding. None of the sources are viable. There's been instances like this of unreported civilian abuse or even killing before even perpetrated by Americans. I find it likely, but not sure.

What outside assessment do you need of the soldiers who orginially reported the 'crimes they have witnessed' admited it is all hearsay and rumors, if they have admitted it themselves?
Funny you people consider Israeli sources cradiable only in dependant of what they are saying.
Sigh...
Vince, please read the other articles I have posted.
In an investigation the Israeli Military police has conducted, the soldiers admitted it was all hearsay.
Sigh...
