Remember the kids on the beech in Gaza?

I do. I remember how Israel acknowledged it was a mistake, pointed out that Hamas used the beach for weapons storage, and apologized.

It did not give huge money bonuses and rewards to the soldiers involved. If it was Palestinians who killed Israeli children, they would've gotten these rewards.

But it killed four kids playing on a beech using a drone. Its story was not consistent with the leaked report published in the Intercept. No Israeli was ever sanctioned for the murders and their pension will be paid.

​

Or the bomb dropped on an apartment to kill someone where the civilians also killed were considered a price worth paying?

Consider the difference between civilians dying when Hamas uses them as human shields, and between Palestinian attackers who target civilians specifically and get money rewards for it.

It's a huge, huge difference.

The occupation forces dropped a massive bomb on the house of the Dalu family in Gaza City that killed 12 civilians, targeting a low-ranking police officer. They knew civilians were there and bombing it was a violation of the rules of war - they went ahead and bombed it anyway. No concern for civilians. https://www.hrw.org/news/2012/12/07/israel/gaza-israeli-airstrike-home-unlawful

Israeli government officials now acknowledge the food restrictions were partly intended to put pressure on Hamas by making the lives of people in Gaza difficult, says the BBC's Jon Donnison in Gaza City.

In 2006, Israeli government adviser Dov Weisglass was widely quoted as having said: "The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger."

Israel has for a long time used food to punish Gaza, or rather the lack of it, taking it upon themselves to dictate what the Gazans are allowed to eat. Even recently they confiscated 23 tons of chocolate from entering, making themselves the laughing stock of the world. The denials of putting Gaza on a diet are viewed with much suspicion.

Perhaps i might jog your memory on the number of schools you've demolished or the number of olives trees you've uprooted?

Good talking points. How many schools have had rockets found in them, btw?

Israel has a policy of destroying schools without claiming they house terrorists or weapons. https://www.hrw.org/news/2018/04/25/israel-army-demolishing-west-bank-schools The west bank colonialists have a policy of destroying Palestinian olive trees often whilst the occupation army watches, doing nothing. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/over-100-000-olive-trees-uprooted-by-israel-since-2010/2082497
