". Early reporting suggested that an IDF combat helicopter arrived at the party during the fighting and killed some of the festival-goers..."? There are video clips clearing shownig the party goers were hosed down by an apache helicopter. Even laypeople could eaily tell that they were unarmed civilians, some of whom were overweight females. So how could trained and experienced apache pilots not tell the difference between armed men and unarmed women?

Israel killed maybe 275 people at that party.

Excellent find. Masterful work. Concerning the translation: "axis" means road, i.e. "they massacred everyone who was still on the road, because there were quite a few vehicles there,". His final sentence can be translated as: "I mean, a lot of bodies were moved to this area during this day, I have no idea why." Most likely they moved bodies of visitors who had fled the party back to the compound for processing.

I think EI gets David Sheen to help out with some translations (probably among others)

You are aware that there isn't a single UN organization that subscribes to this idea? And that the leading human rights organizations HRW and Anmesty International both concluded that Hamas committed widespread atrocities against the civilian population?
