#1 Of course it's unreliable -- it came from Human Rights Watch, which as the article notes at the end, has done this sort of thing before ...

HRW, only biting the hand that won't hit back.

#2 Bad things happen in war. I generally care about human suffering. But not when they happen to people who condone launching rockets from civilian areas, encourage children to blow themselves up, use ambulances for terrorist operations, have a history of false truces, etc. Even if this story were true, I really would not care. These people have dehumanized themselves.

#3 "Moreover," the statement continued, the international human rights organization "didn't bother to give the report to the IDF before releasing it to the public via the media, to allow for in-depth investigation."

An in-depth investigation is the last thing Human Rights [Abusers] Watch wants. And they have been found to have been lying in the past. Nobody really believes their claims - but they may a good justification for blaming Israel...

. "In each case, the victims were standing, walking, or in a slow-moving vehicle with other unarmed civilians who were trying to convey their non-combatant status by waving a white flag,"

Funny - no mention of Ham-Ass and company abusing the white flag and ambulances by HRW.

To HRW - everything any terrorist says is the absolute truth while anything those 'dirty jooos' say is absolute lies. Did Cater found them or something?
