Do you think that all facts should be discussed, or only the ones that support your view? Everyone else should be silenced? This is a bit of a running theme for you. You were equally "disgusted" when it was mentioned that Hamas had fired machine guns from the roof of the WCK vehicle.
You even just "lied" about the hostage video being brought up before.

Ya, that's what I figured. Doesn't matter who pulls the trigger or makes the decision that it is justifiable to murder civilians as long as there is a Hamas fighter standing in front to them, though that doesn't even seem to be a prerequisite for the IDF.
This is why I ask people to examine their humanity. Because you have found a justification you are comfortable with to accept(and even cheer on) the death of completely innocent civilians and children.
I heard Richard Forer on the radio yesterday, which led me to this book that I think would be worthy reading for anyone in this thread.

Wake Up and Reclaim Your Humanity tells the true story of a lifelong supporter of Israel who underwent a remarkable spiritual awakening in which he realized he was as much Muslim or Christian as Jew and as much Palestinian as Israeli or American. Existential fear and confusion, the hallmarks of separate identities, were transformed into compassion and clarity and an unequivocal vision of the roots of suffering spontaneously arose. Recognizing that endless conflict only leads to alienation from our true selves, this book encourages readers to look at the documented history of the Israel-Palestine tragedy and get in touch with how they view and interpret that history. It offers readers a path that leads to freedom from false beliefs, enemy images, and the illusion of identity to equal rights for all people and a just peace between Palestinians and Israelis.
"An astonishing and groundbreaking commentary, Wake Up and Reclaim Your Humanity is the first book EVER written that explains the root cause of the Israel-Palestine tragedy. Wrestling with the question, "why do normally decent people, who ordinarily believe in justice, support indecency and injustice?", this book provides answers that are critical to a deeper understanding of the human condition and profoundly clarifying in their ability to alleviate the confusion that has permeated the subject for generations. " -J.J. Hebert, #1 Amazon Bestselling Author
