    Yeah no I read it, nor do I find it uplifting at all.

    But it speaks for itself as evidence in refuting the claims people are making about indiscriminate bombing and intentionally targeting civilians. It’s just not true, at least not any more than a handful of isolated war crimes. It’s shitty but that’s the reality of it.

    Israel is and will likely continue to prosecute people responsible for war crimes.

    Think they hold any war crimes trials in Gaza? No. The fact is that in Gaza the governing power will pay you well if you indiscriminately target a bunch of Israeli civilians, as they did on October 7.

    The tunnels are forfiet now, as a matter of proportionate response and self defense. If Israel has to destroy several city blocks to get to whatever part of the tunnel system Hamas has dug underneath them, that’s not Israel’s fault. Hamas put them there. Hamas used them to launch terrorist attack after terrorist attack, decades of rocket attacks, decades of suicide bombings, and now mass shootings, all while actually indiscriminately targeting civilians. How does that go over in Gaza? Hamas is more popular than ever.

      They destroyed the whole civilian area. You know that intentionally destroying civilian infrastructure is a war crime right?

      Source

      Attacking or bombarding, by whatever means, towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are undefended and which are not military objectives;

      The dentist office is not a military objective just because there’s a tunnel 20m below it.

      More importantly, there are 26 THOUSAND dead Palestinians, mainly innocent civilians. If they are not intentionally targeting them they are the most careless and/or incompetent army in the world.

      It’s just not true, at least not any more than a handful of isolated war crimes. It’s shitty but that’s the reality of it.

      Oh well that’s ok then, just a “handful” of “isolated” war crimes 🤣
