this is how the 'most moral democracy' in the mid east operates; 

Israeli officers, soldiers, and members of the security establishment say those they kill in Gaza are often civilians who pose no threat and do nothing but enter the combat zones, or “extermination areas,” established by Israeli combat units, Haaretz reported on 31 March.

Haaretz noted one incident in which the army spokesman announced the alleged killing of a fighter from Hamas’ armed wing, the Qassam Brigades. After a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip towards Ashkelon, the spokesman claimed, “The terrorist who launched it was identified, and an Air Force aircraft attacked and eliminated him.”

However, about a week and a half ago, Al-Jazeera broadcast a video taken by an Israeli drone of the killing. The footage showed not one, but four people walking together in civilian clothing on a wide dirt path in the Khan Yunis area.

There was no one around them, only the remains of destroyed homes. An Israeli drone suddenly dropped a bomb on the young men. The explosion killed two of them on the spot. The two others were injured and tried to continue walking. Within seconds, a bomb was dropped on one of them. The other fell to his knees. Israeli forces dropped another bomb, killing him as well.

“A terrorist, basically,” says a reserve officer who served in the Gaza Strip, “is anyone the IDF [Israeli army] has killed within the force’s combat space.”

“This is a very bad incident,” a senior officer told Haaretz, “They were not armed; they did not endanger the troops where they went.”........more........
