[Excerpt:]

"A brief consideration of the report’s flawed methodology exposes the absence of any reasonable research standards. By Breaking the Silence’s own admission, the allegations are comprised of "the testimony of around 30 combatants" – a fraction of the thousands of Israeli combat troops deployed during the Gaza conflict. This extremely narrow and presumably hand-picked sample is an absurd basis on which to pass judgment, and even these limited testimonies were entirely unverifiable. All statements are anonymous, and so-called "evidence" is further compromised by the absence of any details of where and when alleged incidents occurred. Consequently, were the report intended to prompt the IDF to investigate individual allegations, Breaking the Silence has made this impossible. As for the allegations themselves, they frequently rely upon secondhand evidence and hearsay."
