    I guess you would have a point if Israel didn’t routinely bomb civilians and didn’t routinely lie about it.

      They don’t routinely lie about it. They pre-drop little fliers that say “we’re about to bomb here; if you don’t want to die you better leave” and then they come back in a couple of days or weeks and bomb. What on Earth would they lie about? “Wow, a bomb went off right where we dropped leaflets saying it would, but it definitely wasn’t us.”

      The only bombing they actually did lie about is this one, where Hamas beefed a rocket launch and struck one of their own hospitals and Israel said “yeah, we were active in the zone” before anyone knew it wasn’t an Israeli weapon.

        They used to do that. They aren’t in this war.

          No, they’re still doing it. The flyers have been on social media, even.

            They actually dropped flyers for people to go to a refugee camp. The people who listened and went to the refugee camp then got bombed by israel in the camp.

        The fact you’re getting downvoted so much is just another reminder how feelings matters more than facts to certain groups of people.

        All sides in this war suck but the constant dogpiling against Israel when Hamas uses child labor to dig their tunnels is telling of how people view this conflict.

          They’re being downvoted is because Israel was caught lying about it. Multiple times. And because Israel has bombed places without dropping flyers (or dropping flyers with wrong information) many times in this war.

            But they don’t have to drop flyers at all! Indeed they probably shouldn’t, in the hopes of catching Hamas by surprise. But even after Oct 7th they’re trying as hard as they practically can to keep civilian casualties to a minimum even though they could end the war against Hamas a lot faster, and with fewer Israeli casualties, if they didn’t.

            Israeli Jews are bleeding in the streets to keep Gazans safe, and their repayment is unabated, universal antisemitism among Gazans. Incredible. Is there a more ungrateful people in existence than the Palestinians?

              What the fuck is wrong with you? I refuse to even engage with this, but like seriously, you should reflect on what you just said.

                It’s wild seeing astroturfing from these accounts. That and the total dehumanization of Palestinians.

                Nothing’s “wrong” with me. I’m telling you what is obviously true. Israel is fighting to preserve human life against enemies that completely disregard it.

                No thinking person can look at what’s going on in Gaza and disagree. I don’t see how that’s even possible.
