Government defends removing targets from housing plan Photo of panel at launch

All of the colours are black.

I'm guessing they're rolling Brennan out as the respectable face of contrarianism so those who don't like what Israel is doing but don't want to risk anything can feel good about themselves. His war crimes are in the past, so the Irish Times set can forgive him. He's Irish, too, isn't that cool?

IDF Officers: "We target civilians."

Step by step, row by row.

IDF: We target civilians
