Israeli Army Chief: ‘Possible’ Innocents Were Hurt in Gaza Invasion

In perhaps the biggest understatement in recent memory, Israeli military Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi conceded that it was “possible” that innocent people had been hurt in the recent Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. Human rights groups have said the overall toll of the invasion included 960 civilians killed, and over 5,000 wounded in the tiny, densely populated Palestinian enclave. Despite rights groups providing the names of the slain civilians, the Israeli military has insisted the civilian toll was “massively overstated” and that only 295 “uninvolved” Palestinians, many of them women and children, were killed. Even then, they didn’t refer to any of them as “innocent.”

    "Open your eyes, time to wake up
    Enough is enough is enough is enough
    Open your eyes, time to wake up
    Enough is enough is enough is enough
    Enough is enough is enough
    Give the fascist man a gunshot
    Enough is enough is enough
    Give the fascist man a gunshot
    You know Vienna, under heavy manners
    What's going on? What the hell is going on?
    We all sit waiting, waiting, for the tide to turn
    The history lesson that we forgot to learn
    Smoother words, smoother words
    Nicer suits, nicer suits
    Don't be fooled, they're still wearing jackboots
    The words get tired when you hear them every day
    The Nazis changed but they never went away
    Open your eyes, time to wake up
    Enough is enough is enough is enough
    Open your eyes, time to wake up
    Enough is enough is enough is enough
    Enough is enough is enough
    Give the fascist man a gunshot
    Enough is enough is enough
    Give the fascist man a gunshot
    We got bored and tired, it wasn't hip anymore
    They were playing our tune but it was clearing the dance floor
    How many of us does it take to change a light-bulb?
    Answer: it's easier to stay in the dark
    So here we go again, same idea, different song
    Where have all the anti-fascists gone?
    The words get tired when you hear them every day
    The Nazis changed but they never went away
    Open your eyes, time to wake up
    Enough is enough is enough is enough
    Open your eyes, time to wake up
    Enough is enough is enough is enough
    Remember to kick it over, remember to kick it over
    Open your eyes, time to wake up
    Enough is enough is enough is enough
    (repeats) Open your eyes, time to wake up
    Open your eyes, give the fascist man a gunshot
    Enough is enough is enough is enough
    (repeats)
    Remember to kick it over, remember to kick it over
    Remember
    Where have all the anti-fascists gone?
    Remember to kick it over, remember to kick it over
    Where have all the anti-fascists gone?
    Remember to kick it over, remember to kick it over
    Remember
    Remember to kick it over, remember to kick it over
    (repeats)"
