First you link to Croydonian's post which uses the Globe and Mail as a source and are shown to be wrong not only in your interpretation of the Globe and Mail's article but of Croydonian's.
Now you link to Daniel Finkelstein's article which references a Ha'aretz article which, in turn,uses the same Globe and Mail article as its source.

Your repetition and distortion makes you seem desparate to excuse the deaths of 43 civilians by emphasizing that they were killed a few feet away from the walls of the UN compound.

One difference in the Ha'aretz article from The Globe and Mail's is that it fails to mention the IDF withdrew its lie that militants were operating inside the school to justify the civilian deaths.

As you obviously haven't read any of the sources, let me quote from the end of the Ha'aretz article:

"The newspaper (Globe and Mail) quoted the teacher as saying that, "I could see some of the people had been injured... But when I got outside, it was crazy hell. There were bodies everywhere, people dead, injured, flesh everywhere."

Nice to see Paul Staines finally on board with the whole anti-torture cause.

There was a time when evidence of our government's complicity in torture was published on nearly every blog in the UK except his. We were boring him, apparently.
