Noah Pollak over at Contentions discusses the latest Human Rights Watch report on IDF soldiers shooting at civilians waving white flags. He explores both the agendas of the HRW personnel involved, and the problematic nature of their research methods (raw credulity when dealing with anything critical of Israel). He concludes with great aerial footage of an incident in which Hamas combatants hide behind civilians waving white flags — just the kind of detail that HRW anti-Israel advocates don’t like to dwell on.
