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.

Civilian life was never a priority

[–] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a hard sell to say that it was.

Israel: We are using surgical strikes and guided missles to uproot Hamas.

† 15,000 people killed †

World: So you specifically targeted all those 15,000 people?

Israel: How could you be so anti-semitic??

Narrator: Turns out they were actually not trying to minimize civilian casualties at all.

Yeah, it's not about targeting Hamas. It's about killing as many Palestinians and destroying as much of Gaza as possible. They said so themselves
