Although it will surprise a great many folks around here who ordinarily see me throwing my own very modest support to Israel...
I, too, find myself concerned over this latest particular artillery shelling...
I don't like the way this one looks and feels and smells, so far, based upon the very sketchy information that we already have on-hand...
And, frankly, I trust local Arab accounts about as far as I can throw your average camel...
But something doesn't smell right, this time, and I'd like to learn more...
Like many armies, the Israeli Defense Forces is comprised as a mix of Regular and Reserve units...
Generally speaking, Reserve units make more mistakes, and do more stupid things, than Regular units do (although Regular units are not immune from such things, either)...
I find myself expressing alarm and concern over this particular incident...
While maintaining a full and unqualified support for Israel in general, in connection with this campaign against Hamas...
I would like to see us get to the bottom of this one...
I would like to hear more from both sides about this one...
And I will withhold final personal judgment until that happens...
If it turns out that the Israelis did this intentionally, and they can't serve-up sufficient cause to justify their actions, then, somebody(ies) should face charges over this one...
But that does nothing to impede support for Israel and this campaign against Hamas in the main...
