Human Rights Watch Criticizes Israel for Continual Killing of Gaza Civilians

Military targeting hardware in use today is deadly accurate. When Israel strikes hospitals and schools full of children, it is all very intentional.
Children in Gaza killed during Israeli attack

(SACRAMENTO) - Just less than a year ago, I wrote the article, Dead Babies and the Latest News from 'Israeli Rights Watch', feeling incensed and sickened by the position Human Rights Watch (HRW) was taking over Israel's military aggression toward civilian victims in Gaza.

Israel regularly uses drones and other aircraft to attack civilians and the world ignores this behavior, essentially leaving Israel to govern its own warfare tactics, which it fails to do.
Today HRW is speaking out over the use of Israeli drones as military hardware. Criticizing Israel for its constant killing of civilians, so many of whom are children, the HRW video below also addresses one of the most significant points, that is the targeting capabilities of these weapons.
UN school after Israeli attack

For years, Israeli forces routinely claim to have "mistakenly" attacked civilian targets - Operation "Cast Lead" is one of the worst examples, when more than 50 medical facilities and dozens of schools were directly targeted, including a UN school which was dripping afterward in the blood of little kids, literally.
But this is a country that possesses the latest technology available on the planet. We can simply conclude that the argument about mistaken targets is untrue.
Military targeting hardware in use today is deadly accurate, and when Israel strikes hospitals and schools full of children with illegal weapons like white phosphorous and depleted uranium, it is all very intentional without question.
The reason Israel has been able to withstand the storm of international law, is because the country that has assumed the great protector role, the United States, uses "Super Veto Power" in the United Nations to consistently crush war crime charges against the so-called Jewish state.
Israel would have lost support long ago and its government rejected if it were any other nation.

Just less than a year ago, HRW wrote:- "Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups in Gaza need to take all feasible precautions to minimize harm to civilians as hostilities between the two sides intensify.
- Palestinian rocket attacks into civilian areas violate the laws of war prohibition against targeting civilians, and Israel should ensure it is only targeting military objects, Human Rights Watch said.
- A rocket launched by an armed group killed three Israeli civilians on the morning of November 15, 2012. Strikes by Israeli forces on November 10 and 14 killed at least nine civilians in Gaza."
In my previous article, I compared the HRW position to nothing more than Israeli propaganda; "the words are in stark contrast compared to what is taking place."
It seems like something positive has changed at HRW and I for one am thankful for that. We are in a new age where it is incumbent upon all of us to embrace the human race as one, and to stop dividing people according to their religion and birthplace. It is one big world and it all belongs to we, the people.
