so you're not saying that what I quoted was wrong, just that they were
missing some info? perhaps. BTW, that attack in '53 is taught today,
still, in IDF basic training as an example of an "illegal command", which a
soldier is not allowed to follow. I never said that IDF doesn't make
mistakes, just that it doesn't target civilians _intentionally_ like the PA
does.
