Came across a short report on this earlier about contradicting the IDF report along with some servile bollox about how "This might be considered a war crime".

Yeah, it's really ok because Israel has a right to defend itself.

If a few jews had bombed a German hotel in the 1930s and killed 500 people, I wonder if the western media would have been screeching "But Germany has a right to defend itself" as Hitler proceeded with the holocaust.
