"We have the most moral army in the world,"

Those were the words of Ehud Barak with regards to the UN report on Israel's actions in Gaza. Here, courtesy of the BBC, is a summary of the findings:
Israeli army responsible in six cases in which UN property was damaged and UN staff and other civilians hurt or killed
No military activity was carried out from within UN premises in any of the incidents
Israeli military's actions "involved varying degrees of negligence or recklessness"
Israeli military took "inadequate" precautions to protect UN premises and civilians inside

"Moral" and "army" - there's no way to make those two words fit together - not for any army, least of all the IDF.
