BTW, it's both right wing of their political spectrum. People acting through their own sacred book, the only thing that differ is the book.

It's the same coin just different sides. 

Hmm, with posts like this I wonder why I keep pointing out that the left leaning posters continuously attempt to draw direct comparisons between a terrorist organization and the professional military of a democratic nation.  This is called mitigating, you are literally mitigating the actions of a terrorist organization.  It's abhorrent.  They are not two sides of the same coin, they're not even both coins.

I wonder why I keep pointing out that a certain right wing poster continuously attempts to block direct comparison between the war crimes of a "terrorist organization" and those of "the professional military of a democratic nation" by claiming that acknowledging/discussing the truth is "mitigating the actions of a terrorist organization."   Many IDF members are apparently much less worried about such "abhorrent" mitigation.

Your "no-mitigation" rule directly conflicts with the journalistic and legal standards of war reporting in a free society.  

There is a similar debate inside the IDF and Israel at the moment, but it takes a rather different tack.  Rather than prevent/stop people from talking about war crimes, the only serious alternative is prevent/stop committing war crimes. Otherwise lose the claim to be "the professional military of a democratic nation."

Actually, nothing has been proven about the two mass graves in question, except that some of the dead appear to have been killed with their hands tied.

Why the emotional rush to judgement here? Odd way to call out "propaganda."
