Terrorist confessions

"Israeli troops who served in last summer’s war in Gaza were ordered to shoot people on sight, shelled homes and reduced neighborhoods to rubble as part of a deliberate policy of force protection that cost the lives of Palestinian civilians, according to soldiers’ testimonies published Monday by an Israeli veterans group." "Soldiers said that in one case, an elderly man who approached a house used as an army position was shot and wounded because he was suspected of carrying explosives, then finished off at close range. According to another account, two women spotted talking on cellphones as they walked in an orchard were struck from the air and killed after they were suspected of reporting on Israeli positions."
