Israeli soldiers report, according to Israeli news media, that they were encouraged to kill civilians including old women, women and children, during the brutal assault on the Gaza Strip.
The soldiers are sporting t-shirts with images of pregnant Arab women with bulls-eyes painted over their enlarged bellies. But Israel's government, to play the reports down, are denying that soldiers ever engaged in war crimes. The tragedy is the refusal of the Israeli people and their supporters to recognize that while some Palestinian groups engaged in terrorism and violence, some Israeli groups and soldiers also engage in terrorism and war crimes, but the Israelis refuse to acknowledge their own criminal acts and prefer to pretend they have done nothing.
