It wouldn't have been grunts that were hiding behind the UN flag while Israel was bombing everyone else.

Israel would do anything possible to avoid killing the UN observers. What would they possibly have to gain from this....
Not only does it look bad, but the world is turning to the UN and NATO for a solution to this problem. Why would Israrel purposely **** them off now.
As for the warning ten times. Israel is coordinating hundreds of thousands of troops right now in a small area surrounded by buildings. Dont you think the more likely explanation is there was a mixup w/ coordinates or which troops were in what area?
Also please dont compare the situation of Palestinians to native americans. Jews were systematicallly removed from Israel everytime the population got too high and forced to live in isolated ghettos. The same thing happened to other minorities w/in the Ottaman empire (see Kurds, Berbers, Druze, BaHai, Copts etc..). 2/3 of Israelis come from the middle east and north africa (ie arab countries) and not Europe (ie they are not Ashkenazi).
