Horrible to Contemplate

 IDF soldiers ordered to fire upon unarmed Gazans. Much was made of Hamas killing Palestinians coming to humanitarian aid sites of the US-Israeli food outreach. Now it looks like some Israeli officers are ordering the same thing.  I would have more doubt about the story if it came from a Palestinian-favoring site, but this is Haaretz.  The IDF promises to investigate.  Chilling.

 Soldiers quoted in the report called the locations a "killing field," saying commanders authorised the use of heavy machine-guns, grenade launchers, mortars and tank fire rather than non-lethal crowd-control methods. One soldier said between one and five people were killed every day in the sector where he served, an operation informally dubbed "Salted Fish".
