    European opinion was further alienated in March of this year (North Americans were distracted by other events)

    this North American is guilty as charged, it’s the first I heard of the part below…

    when Israeli forces broke a two-month ceasefire and, five days later, attacked a convoy of ambulances in Gaza, killing 15 paramedics and aid workers. When the bodies were discovered in a shallow grave days later, the IDF claimed they had approached a checkpoint with lights out, and the deaths were the result of a tragic confusion.

    The IDF was forced to change its story after it was contradicted by a video on a mobile phone recovered from a first responder’s body that left little doubt that the soldiers knew whom they were attacking.

    If the free world isn’t planning an intervention right now, I don’t know in what circumstances that we should.
