    When the story first broke the witnesses/journalists said that a couple of drones had hovered over them before they were hit.

    Israel knew damn well they were journalists and didn’t give a shit … because the IDF actively hunts them down and murders them.

      I think its not excusable even if it was mistake. You have to be very sure when you literally blow prople into red mist. Like 110% sure. Anything else is inexcusable.

          I get it tho. I have highly educated Israeli friends (military training is very mandatory) and they are very much brain washed into this “us or them deathmatch in a cage” sort of mentality.

          To clarify I’m on team Israel as terrorists like Hamas deserve no sympathy only quick death but Israel has huge advantage in every conflict and you can definitely afford more diligence but there’s always this justification of “we have to do this” which dismisses any criticism.

          Even before the current conflict when I’d point out how messed up Israeli tactics are of blowing up civilian walls in Palestine to make way for urban militia are people would just wave their hand and say “it’s just urban warfare” - it’s fucking not. No other place in the world does this. Do better.
