"A Moral Twilight Zone"

A group of 26 unnamed Israeli soldiers are claiming that they took part in abuses against Palestinians during the Israel assault on Gaza this past winter. Among the charges levelled in the report include an accusation that IDF troops were encouraged to "shoot first, worry later" and that many civilians were killed "needlessly". Also in the report were confirmations that the Israelis used illegal white phosphorous weapons against civilians, which has been alleged for months, and that they routinely used Palestinian civilians as "human shields". The human shields accusation is also not new.
