Exaggerations and hyperbole? I exaggerate in the same way that one could very easily -- by your logic here -- called Mylai an "exaggeration" in 1968.

Bad analogy and more rhetorical statements.

Now compare the Mylai incident with IDF actions that have killed many multiples more noncombatants than Calley's units did. The number of Vietnamese women, children and elderly gunned down in cold blood at Mylai is far less than just the number of Palestinian KIDS shot down in cold blood in just 12 months by IDF soldiers firing "rubber" and live bullets at them -- firing at KIDS, mind you -- at point-blank range.

Your analogy is false and it doesn't matter how you play it out. But with respect to Israel and the Arabs. Israel's fought three main wars. All of them started by the Arabs. Yes, even the one in 1967 (the Arabs declared a de facto war by Nasser's ordering the UNEF out of the Sinai and moving his forces there; Egypt closing the Straits of Tiran (Johnson as much stated this was an act of war and it is by any international standard), Syrian congregating its forces in the Golan Heights; and other assorted provocative acts by the Arabs). Israel has since contended with Jihads, Intifadas, terrorism, etc. Arabs start wars and Intifadas. They then hide behind the skirts of women and the cribs of children and when there are civilian casualities they cry and whine and have people such as you use false analogies and fallacious historical arguments.

but this is Israel, of course, where Palestinians in the occupied territories have been so demonized and bestialized that Israelis

Last I checked the "Palestinians" were making Sbarro Pizza type monuments and filling their children with the vilest anti-Jew propaganda possible. For example, having their children dress up with fake body-bombs to prepare them mentally and spiritually for sacrifice to their false god allah.

These sickos always argue that these kids provide cover for gunmen, etc., and so are legitimate targets for lethal fire.

It's a fact that the terrorists use civilian areas as shields. This is an unequivocal fact. All your comments about warfare, etc. are mostly if not completely irrelevant and amount to nothing more than excess verbiage.

There are no war crimes committed by the Israelis as they are entitled as any nation state to defend their territorial integrity. If you think there is a war crime then go to the Hague and lay an indictment. I haven't seen one yet. There aren't any war crimes commited by Israel just rhetorical gamesmenship by you.

Now, after all that excess verbiage I'm waiting for you to start arguing for the REAL war criminals. Those Arabs and Islamics who slaughter each other - Hussein in Iraq gassing 300,000 Kurds for example. Too late about these though (not even a posthumus argument from you) like Assad in Syria who slaughtered wholesale dissidents in his won country and sponsoring various excursions against the Christians in Lebanon like in the Chuf and Aley areas where THOUSANDS of Christians were slaughtered under Assad's watchful eye. Or, King Hussein of Jordan who slaughtered thousands of Palestinians in Black September. These were likely your heroes though.
