Air Force: We saw no civilians
Initial investigation conducted by IAF finds that no civilians were spotted in vicinity of vehicle carrying terror cell in Gaza; 'we still don’t know whether civilians were hurt as result of explosion in car or for other reasons,' senior officer explains

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3265390,00.html

"The Israel Air Force has begun investigating the failed assassination Tuesday in which two Palestinian children and a teenager were killed.

A senior officer told Ynet that "an initial investigation we held found that, during the firing of the missile no civilians were spotted around the vehicle or in its vicinity, and when missiles were on their way to the target, no gathering was spotted."

"He explained that the area chosen to strike the vehicle was not crowded. During that time there was almost no traffic on the road except one vehicle that passed very far from the vehicle carrying the terrorists. Two missiles were fired at the same time and struck the car accurately.

"We still don't know if the civilians were injured as a result of the explosion that took place in the car or due to other reasons," said the officer."

3. That could be the whole problem -- THEY never see Palestinians
as civilians. That way their war is easier. That way their leader can go to europe and claim his troops are ethical. Palestinians are always the "other" and never civilians -- so drop the bombs anywhere and destroy homes, take farm land -- it doesn't matter because there are no Palestinian civilians.

Just thinking out loud -- trying to understand human inhumanity to other human being.
