Obama roof knocking it Israeli style

[Lumberjack]

Israel’s controversial ‘roof knocking’ tactic appears in Iraq. And this time, it’s the U.S. doing it.

"Roof knocking" is a controversial Israeli military practice used in the Gaza Strip. It works on a simple logic designed to minimize civilian casualties. Occupants of a building are given a warning a few minutes before a military strike.

The first warning is generally a phone call. The second is a rocket.

The Israeli military has argued that the practice saves lives by giving occupants a chance to escape, but critics say the tactic creates confusion and can amount to psychological warfare. This week, the United States announced that it had used the tactic in Iraq.

Knock knock, who's there, roof, roof who, roofin you want to know.

I think it is better than no notice at all. I wonder when the tactic was used in Iraq, the article says the tactic was used and I'm pretty sure Israel is not in Iraq.

It's amazing what depths the arms industries will sink to in order to ensure the consumption of their filthy products. Introducing ' Moral Bombing '. No doubt the victim gets the phone bill.

He approves of Hamas putting their clandestine tunnels and rockets in and around hospitals, schools and mosques. They know that the more casualties there are, the more money flows into their corrupt hands.

As I said- the neoZionist fascists use ' notice ' as ethnic cleansing by telephone. Why is anybody bombing civilian dwellings anyway ? Us civilians- and I'm assuming to include you under that heading- should get together and prevent the arms industries and their drone militaries from exrajudicially executing us.

Gaza is the most densely populated area on earth. Don't talk wet.

Yeh that's not true, it is actually ranks at number 47 in world cities league. It is Hamas that make the conscious decision to site missiles near hospitals, schools and mosques. Thye are basically using the Gazians as human shields.

Yes, I should have said most densely populated prison. Nevertheless-

The data we found show that the urban area around Gaza City, which has an estimated population of three quarters of a million, is far more dense than many global cities. According to Demographia, it is the 40th most densely populated urban area in the world. It is less dense than some major world cities, including Mumbai, Hong Kong and Karachi, but a lot more dense than some others, and its small geographical size and high level of density seem to be unique.

It's an important point to note, given that Gaza City is one of the major targets for Israeli airstrikes. With a population density like this, are civilian casualties inevitable?

Your claim of the Palestinian resistance deliberately using its own people as shields is hogwash. It is the Israelis who use Palestinians as shields. Their own courts have tried to ban the disgusting criminal practice;
