"I watched Israel take heavy casualties to avoid civilian casualties in Jenin."
"That was the world's most moral army in action."
First, no army is required under the laws of war to take heavy casualties to save enemy civilians.
Second, you seem to forget the hysterical claims at the time made by the likes of Goldstone that the IDF had committed a massacre in Jenin.
Your claim that of Goldstone's "most clinical and legal manner" is absurd. He admits himself that the report was not based on appropriate legal standards.
The report is simply a political document and it has nothing to do with the exercise of the law.
