Cleansing Gaza - Israel/Palestine

January 2011

It's the two-year anniversary of Operation Cast Lead and for the first time Israeli soldiers are speaking publicly about their orders. In startling interviews they claim the IDF brutally targeted civilians.

These soldiers are laying bare the true extent of Israel's cruelty in Gaza. Yet while many expected human rights abuse, the horrific attacks on civilians they speak about was worse than anyone imagined. "It sounds really terrible to say 'cleanse', but those were the orders", says tank commander Ohad. Speaking candidly of the instructions they were given before their entry into Gaza, the soldiers accuse their leaders of a 'disproportionate' response, which aimed to target civilians. One soldier recalls being instructed to shell every house in a neighbourhood. Officers created an environment that encouraged indiscriminate killing. Soldiers even boasted to each other about the number of civilians they had killed. Yegev remembers being told, "I heard you killed two today, great!" Whilst the IDF have asserted that their operational orders focused on 'humanity', the soldiers recall how their leaders would 'psych up' the troops to encourage unprovoked violence. "The order was very clear - if a car came within 200 metres of me I could simply shoot a shell at it".

Palestinian "terrorists" throwing rocks and sandals... Israeli "democrats" [note: not Democrats] with a fully mechanized military machine and limitless funding/firepower

These IDF soldiers are murderous animals, not human beings.

@grapefest1 If i tool half of ur house. by force.. what will u do... U must resist.. and what if ur resistance call TERRORISM...???

Same faced by Palestinians.... Israel took their lands.. their houses .. kill them by tanks .. jets .. ships.. .. and if palestinains fired rockets.. u say they deserve all this.. what a one side opinion man... WE Hope Palesinians get an Airforce and army like iran and Pakistan .. so they can equally reply Israeli agression instead of fired rockets...

@chuttoheera The palestinians deserve all they get...The palestinians are the one firing rockets at Israeli civilians.No rockets at Israel = no palestinian suffering.

Lets hope that on day Israel detenates a few nuclear bombs on Iran...and wipes out many Muslim scum.

@iIovepaIestinegreat Sorry I cant find English version that verse. but I translated in translation;

Presses will be yours in the soles of your feet each. Limit of the river from Lebanon to the desert, brought from the river Euphrates will be up to the Western Sea. No one able to stand in front of you, such as the terrors of the Lord your God said to you, and your fear will set foot on land you print all.

I guess you can find it. if you jew or christian you must know these.
