Idiots

Here's what I thought when I read this:-

The Palestinian-rights group B'tselem on Wednesday called for a criminal probe into the deaths of the Abu Meatak family, saying the IDF appears to have violated international law by firing the missile close to the family's home, despite the high risk of harming civilians.

B'tselem said firing a missile close to a home would violate the rule of proportionality set by international law.

"In these circumstances, it's highly likely civilians would be at home and be hit by the blast," said Sarit Michaeli, a spokeswoman for B'tselem. "Even if you attack a legitimate military target, the anticipated damage has to be in proportion to the anticipated gain."

a) B'tselem are idiots and evil.

b) Who is a real war criminal in using civilian cover for terror?

Protected civilians must NOT be used to shield military operations or make an area immune from military operations.

Part IV : Civilian population #Section I -- General protection against effects of hostilities #Chapter II -- Civilians and civilian population
Article 51 -- Protection of the civilian population

7. The presence or movements of the civilian population or individual civilians shall not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations, in particular in attempts to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield, favour or impede military operations. The Parties to the conflict shall not direct the movement of the civilian population or individual civilians in order to attempt to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield military operations.

and

The 1949 Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War mentions involuntary human shields twice. Whereas article 28 states that “the presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations”, article 34 is more explicit, saying that “the taking of hostages is prohibited.” This idea was reconfirmed in 1977 by article 51 of Protocol I Additional to the Convention, which declares that “the Parties to the conflict shall not direct the movement of the civilian population or individual civilians in order to attempt to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield military operations.”

c) Maybe all of Israel is too close to an area of hostilities?

d) And what are they actively doing against Hamas in the international arena?
