Looks like those guys will shoot anyone. With such a gross power imbalance how can they be so scared of everything?

IDF destroyed Israeli homes (with Israelis inside) when Hamas raided them on Oct 7, and now they are indiscriminantly bombing Gaza, including where the hostages might be. I don't see the logic at all. It seems like they don't care about Palestinian OR Israeli civilians.
EDIT: I just stumbled upon this video, which shows Israeli police arresting a (black) Israeli soldier for trying to cross the street. It seems racist af. I really can't figure out who they are protecting.
That's what bothers me most: the incidence shows how Israeli military treats civilians in general but at least where I live, media doesn't talk about the implications. The coverage is more critical than at the beginning of the war but they still refuse to call it a genocide.
Hell, they even censured a Palestinian-American congresswoman for pointing out that obvious fact!
