This is the first time I have heard of warning missile and warning shells. Hell up here we are giving hell for using pepper spray against protestors. I don't think anything fired like that from a tank or helicopter can be said to be a warning and the people doing the firing likely know that such a warning will kill at least a few. Well then again the few deaths are probably the actual warning they are trying to give. No one will care about one or two dead children. Looks like the Israelis got more deaths than they bargained for.
As for Timber I am pretty sure most Palestinian Doctors would surprise you in the treatment given to a Jewish patient if said patient survives the crowd. The barbarism you describe can also been seen in America in your own backyard if you want to find it. Currently we might see some Muslims as targets of some vigilante punks, before that gays, and before that blacks. Barbarism seems to change with the political climate. Mind you it is usually only shown on local news as it is small stuff when broadcasting to the entire country. I mean does someone in New York actually care about abuse or a couple insignificant murders in say Hawaii.
This is similar to what took place in Iraq. It became so big in the news, yet you may never hear about child abuse, or nursing abuse of the elderly by officials in certain states if you don't live there. Barbarism exist at home as well.
