Israel, the neighbour's Cooking-Pot and other illogical categories

The story goes like this:
One day a woman lended her neighbour a cooking-pot. Months passed and the pot was not returned. The woman went inquiring for the cooking pot. The neighbour first started by denying that he had ever borrowed a cooking pot from her. Then he declared that the cooking pot had a hole in its bottom and was not convenient for cooking. Finally he said that he had never seen such a cooking-pot and didn't know what his neighbour was talking about.

Every time Israel commits violations to the rules of war and violations of human rights it follows this illogic.
Yesterday, the Israeli Occupation Forces shot at women who came to the village of Beit Hanoun to protect Palestinain men (sons, brothers and husbands) who were besieged in a mosque. The women carried a white flag. According to their account:

''Elham Hamad, 48, said she left her house in Beit Hanoun at 5am yesterday with two of her daughters-in-law to join the march into the centre of the town. Her son Mazen, 30, like hundreds of other men from the town had been held by Israeli troops for questioning.
"There were about 30 women in our group, all in the main street. We were moving into the town and passing by the Israeli tanks. We carried two white flags. They didn't ask us to stop and then suddenly we saw them shooting at us," she said. "I was hit but there were no ambulances. We were calling for them but there was nothing." Her husband found a donkey cart and put the injured women on the back and led them out of the town to waiting ambulances. Mrs Hamad was hit on the forehead and in the left shoulder and was yesterday being treated at the al-Ouda hospital in Gaza.''

What the IOF and israeli authorities had to say about the killing ?

Follow the cooking-pot story:

First: Israel's military denied shooting at women.
''The Israeli military said its operation was against militants who have been launching crude Qassam rockets from Gaza into Israel. The military said it was investigating reports that women had been shot....''

Second: Israeli military said gunmen were hiding between the women and that the women intended to free the besieged gunmen.
''...but said its snipers identified hitting eight gunmen who were hiding among the crowd of women.''
''A spokesman for the Israel Defence Force said the women had marched towards the mosque intending to free the gunmen holed up inside.''

Third: My bet is that an investigation by Israel will conclude to the non existence of women at that moment around the mosque of Beit Hanoun when shots were fired by its soldiers. Israel will be able to produce a video showing no women around the mosque (remember the shooting of a Palestinian family on a beach few months back ?), accuse the press of doctoring the pictures and ultimately proclaim its right to defend itself while accusing its critics of anti-semitism and holocaust denial. Hence, the very careful declaration of UK foreign secretary Margaret Beckett who knows very well the story of the cooking pot:
"Israel has a right to defend itself but any action should be proportionate and in accordance with international humanitarian law"

UPDATE:
The human cost of the six day Israeli incursion of Beith Hanoun. Total Hubris !
