Village idiot,

I am not trying to enlist Mhaze into the dirty little world of the greens. I will let you alone in that cesspit.

As for your liking me, the opinion of a disgusting troll bothers me not.

Dear Paul,

I'm sorry to say that I did not watch the Ben Ferencz
documentary "Prosecuting Evil." Probably because
there's been quite a few programs screened lately on
the Holocaust, and Hitler.

Robert McNamara confessed in his memoir "In Retrospect"
"the tragedy and lessons of Vietnam."

He stated that the Vietnam war was a mistake and that he
knew it all along.

"We should have gotten out in 1963 when fewer than 100
Americans had been killed." When he and other US policymakers
took the US to war and "had not truly investigated what was
essentially at stake."

And now we have the Middle East conflict.

Dear Paul,

There's a book that may be of interest -
written by Francine Hirsch - on the critical role that
Soviet judgement played at Nuremberg. The book offers
the first full picture of the war trials:

Haaretz is reporting some 3800+ IDF casualties is Gaza.
Israel will not live all this murder of civilians down (of which the US is complicit)
- Israel not have any chance of a good relationship with it's neighbours going forward.
- Will most likely escalate into a regional conflict at some point.

Dear Critic,

The numbers reported to date on the official IDF website are 444 soldiers killed and 1704 wounded, but this includes those killed on October 7th.

Counting only the casualties since Israel started the counter-offensive, the numbers are 115 killed and 619 wounded.

The numbers you cited seem to include the civilians wounded on October 7th.

Fighting in the suburb of Sajaieh was very heavy today and several high ranking Israeli officers were killed, including a brigadier. In other fronts the battle is proceeding well. The corpses of two Israeli hostages were recovered today. Israel just started flooding some of the Gazan tunnels with sea-water, wherever it can ascertain that there are no hostages.

I always wonder where Baldrick (aka AC) gets his figures as they are usually far from reality.

That Israel is prepared to lose precious lives to root out the murderous savages supporting Hamas shows clearly the importance they place on protecting Israeli citizens.

As for the figures given by the Hamas-affiliated "health" system of 18000 killed the true figure is probably 1/3rd of that with about 1/2 of those being Hamas fighters.
