The IDF are Very Good at Killing Children but Not So Good at Fighting Armed Palestinian Fighters
Palestinian Resistance Actions in Gaza

When it comes to killing civilians
the Israeli Defence Force cannot be faulted. It is particularly good at killing
children, at least 8,000 of whom
have died.
Israel also excels at killing
journalists, doctors and other
health workers and UN workers. It is
brilliant at attacking
ambulances, all of which have been put out of action in the north of
Gaza.
As for dropping 1 ton bombs on
peoples’ homes Israel is second to none. Netanyahu, Gantz and Yoav Gallant can
really take credit for all the aforementioned.
Israel even murdered
3 of its own hostages yet the prostitute media all say it was ‘accidental’
despite them waving a White Flag and being shirtless. This was no accident. The
IDF are trained to kill on sight regardless and they didn’t realise these weren’t
Palestinians. It is ironic that the hostages would have been safer with Hamas!!
However when it comes to fighting
an urban guerrilla war against armed Palestinian fighters Israeli soldiers are
not so good. Years of shooting children and terrorising the population of the
West Bank seem to have taken their toll.
It is far easier to strip unarmed Palestinian men and boys of their clothes and then take them to secret locations and torture them than it is to fight armed combatants who know the territory like the back of their hand.
Why is the
Israeli Army Covering Up Its Casualty Figures?
Making racist videos humiliating
their civilian captives is much easier than fighting armed militants at close
quarters. Setting
fire to food in order to emphasise the cruelty of a food and water
blockade is so much easier to do than entering a tunnel or dark building.
Blowing up mosques is no problem
whereas finding and killing Hamas fighters seems to pose all sorts of problems,
even with the full support of the United States and Britain.
In the above videos we see two
things that the British media – from the BBC to the Guardian – refuse to show.
Firstly ground operations in Gaza and secondly the way that Israel has
consistently hidden and covered up its true casualty figures.
Slowly but surely the true casualty
figures are emerging. Ha’aretz last week decided to contact Israeli hospitals
directly and found that the official figures for Israeli wounded, which were
only released under pressure, bear no comparison to the figures of wounded that
the hospitals have treated.
Whether Israel succeeds in
defeating the Palestinian armed groups remains to be seen. No one should
underestimate the difficulties facing the Palestinian fighters in terms of
restocking, gaining access to food and water etc. whereas Israel faces no such
problems.
However we gain an inkling of
Israel’s difficulties from the publicity that has been given to the Israeli
threat to flood the tunnels. It is highly unlikely that this will prove a game
changer as it is likely that they were built with drainage systems, although
the damage done to Gaza’s water table could be immense.
If an attempt to flood the tunnels
does go ahead it means that Israel has decided to kill rather than save its
hostages. This is likely to cause political problems in Israel so I suspect
that this plan will be shelved, however no one should under estimate the
insanity of Israel’s leaders.
Supporters of the Palestinians will
take heart from the fact that those committing genocide in Gaza are meeting
with resistance. That the cowards who murder women and children, who as my last
blog showed even go so far as to torture children in front of their parents,
are getting their come uppance.
