B'Tselem, which said it had carried out "months of meticulous investigation and cross-checks with numerous sources" has, unlike the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), made public the names of all those it said were killed in the war. It said that since the IDF had refused to furnish the agency with its own detailed list, it was impossible to compare the names but that "the blatant discrepancy between the numbers is intolerable."

Yeah, and I suppose the UN lied, and Richard Goldstone's recantation of his report was a lie and on and on and on. Had Palestinians not been such warmongers Cast Lead would never have taken place. You get within reach of the Big Dog, you get bit. Simple nature tells us that.
Nobody is happy when a child dies, Israeli or Palestinian. When Messiah comes He will punish the guilty wherever they may be found. Wherever they may be found.
