Yeah; that's what war criminals always say.
I stand by my comments. The packaging of the Israelis as the good guys -- the plucky, put upon defenders of democracy -- is a myth. Did I believe it in 1967, and again in 1973? Sure; who didn't? It was the standard model at the time. But there's a lot of blood under the bridge since then.
No, that is what civilians always say. Ever been in a war zone? Not healthy. People tend to die, a lot. Proof of war crimes please. I can produce tons of information on homicide bombing.

There generally is a lot of blood when you are surounded by countries bent on pushing you into the sea.
65 years ago the Jews did not believe that the Germans meant it when the said that they were going to kill the Jews. They learned diffently when it happened. You will have to forgive them if when someone says that they are going to kill them that they now believe them and push back.
