Israel has committed to reduce the number of civilian casualties in future wars in a new response to the Goldstone Report released by the Foreign Ministry.
The IDF has committed to a number of operational changes in its combat doctrine to minimize civilian casualties, including restricting the use of white phosphorous and integrating a Humanitarian Affairs Officer in each combat unit, as well as defining new regulations regarding the destruction of private property when necessary.

Wanna bet Hezbollah and Hamas aren’t making any such restrictions in their battle plans?
Is there some reason that Israel is doing all this for the UN? Do they really think it is going to lessen criticism by anyone? They could give up guns and switch to nerf balls and the enemies of Israel would whine just as loudly.
I wish they would bring back Napalm and Flame Throwers myself.
If they can’t, at least they should do lard sprayers and Pig bombs.
Lard Spray Devices would suit me to a T.
Whoever is pressing for this in Israel would be making Hitler proud.
You know, it’s not Israel is fighting for its life or anything.
I knew a guy who was a gunner on a Sherman tank during the Korean War. They would get a call to go on a fire mission to support infantry. They would drive up to a position where there were NK or Chinese infantry concealed. First they would loose an air burst of Willie Pete and when that got them jumping up and down and writhing in pain, they would follow up with a couple of antipersonnel rounds.
The Norks must be thinking, “Where were these guys when we needed them.
Just in time for intifada 3, how nice! Saddam Hussein Obama musta negotiated that arms reduction treaty

The worst part of this idiotic policy is that it sounds like an admission that the Israelis were doing something wrong.
The terrorists insinuate themselves among civilians, hoping to be spared return fire and benefiting from the public relations value of civilian casualties otherwise. The Journolist morons’ abet this behavior by trumpeting civilian casualties and blaming them on the Israelis, rather than placing blame where it squarely belongs. If the Wehrmacht hid behind civilians (which they didn’t) the world would blame them for unnecessary civilian casualties. The the world today, Israeli civilians deserve to be killed and their murders are celebrated as heros.
There are a lot of uses for willie peter, and for illumination nothing beats it.
Terrific, an HR lawyer in every unit. By the time they get through all of the harassment and hostile work environment claims, the enemy will have killed them all.
Not going to happen. Israel will say it is for illumination of the battlefield and opps, one got away. We bad.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

While we’re talking about hiding behind civilians, I’ll bet that Iran has some of its most secret caches right under mosques, schools or hospitals.
Thermite and Thermate do a right fair job. and Willy Pete won't melt through a csar's hood. And the engine, igniting the contents of the oil pan, to then combine with the thermite-melted asphalt underneath.
No doubt about it - Rice Paddy Daddy sez:
Willie Peter will make you a believer.
BTW - nice about page.
