‘Based on my knowledge and experience I can say this:
During Operation Cast Lead the Israeli Defence Force did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare.’
Those are the words of Col Richard Kemp, speaking at the United Nations.
Col. Kemp is a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, served with Nato and the U.N., commanded troops in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Macedonia, participated in the Gulf War and worked on international terrorism for the UK’s Joint Intelligence Committee.
He went on to say that Israel tried to safeguard civilians ‘while facing an enemy that deliberately positioned its military capability behind the human shield of the civilian population.’
He said:
‘Hamas, like Hizbollah, are expert at driving the media agenda.
Both will always have people ready to give interviews condemning Israeli forces for war crimes.
They are adept at staging and distorting incidents.
‘The truth is that the IDF (Israeli Defence Force) took extraordinary measures to give Gaza civilians notice of targeted areas, dropping over two million leaflets and making over 100,000 phone calls.
Many missions that could have taken out Hamas military capability were aborted to prevent civilian casualties.
‘The IDF allowed huge amounts of human aid into Gaza.
To deliver aid virtually into your enemies’ hands is, to the military tactician, normally quite unthinkable, but the IDF took on those risks.
‘Despite all this, of course innocent lives were lost.
War is chaos and full of mistakes… but mistakes are not war crimes.
More than anything, the civilian casualties were a consequence of Hamas’ way of fighting.
Hamas deliberately tried to sacrifice its own civilians.
‘Mr. President, I say this again:
During Operation Cast Lead the IDF did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare.’
Col. Kemp was speaking on behalf of UNWatch replying to the Goldstone Gaza Report on war crimes.

Tables of Truth
Roman Catholic Church versus the Bible. Written by Pat Franklin, a ‘cradle Catholic’ educated at Catholic schools in America.
I read the New Testament for myself (a Catholic version of the Bible) in England in 1981 and saw that Catholicism was not right, but that salvation was by faith in Christ alone. I knelt down in my bedroom and confessed my sins to the Lord Jesus and asked Him to let me be one of His people. From that day I have belonged to Him. This is copyright, and cannot be offered for sale, but I (Pat) urge our readers to print out a hard copy or copies and give them out free to friends and relatives so that the truth of this gets out far and wide. God bless you in your efforts to inform people. Here we have set out some of the main differences between Christianity and Islam. The two are diametrically opposed, with no common ground of any sort and no possibility of any dialogue ever. Compiled by Pat Franklin. Here is the shortest, simplest Table of Truth I have so far devised to prove that the Catholic Church is a false church, not true Christianity - not the church Jesus set up at all ! An ‘aura’ is a distinctive atmosphere as in an ‘aura of mystery’ ; special quality or air around something or someone. But in paranormal, New Age circles an aura is:
- A supposed coloured emanation surrounding someone
- Coloured field around someone’s head https://yeshuaspeople.com/tonghamcf/sermon/5-11-23-why-has-one-nation-been-singled-out-for-such-hatred-israel/

But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. (Paul’s comment in his letter to the Galatians shows that Peter was not the ‘first pope’ – nor was anyone else.)
Galatians 2:11
