The IDF said "immediate lessons from the event have been learned, which have been passed on to all IDF troops

Here’s an idea: do what the rest of the world has been telling you to do for weeks and stop shooting at people without guns!!!!!

You called folks antisemites for wanting you to use more care around civilians, and called them liars for saying you were bombing indiscriminately. Now you shoot your own people because you were shooting indiscriminately. Do you suppose they will walk back on those comments?

It’s war, and unfortunate, but I don’t see it as a karma situation.

@Bumbles no. But i see it as major fuel to the argument that Israel does not care whether civilians are killed or not. “That white flag is no match for our guns….fire!!!!”

This really pisses me off. I had been telling people to give israel the benefit of the doubt and trust that the idf knows what they are doing. Between this and videos idf soldiers have posted to social media, i feel like a fucking sucker. Idf says this goes against their rules of engagement. Take some fucking responsibility and put it on you and how you trained your soldiers. And maybe scale back for a bit while you figure out why you fucked up.

@trollslayer I think war is awful, am I’m sure they could have been more careful, but it’s not clear to me there was a moral obligation to be more careful at the expense of the mission.

@Bumbles they claim their mission is to rescue hostages!! Pretty clear to me.
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@trollslayer Destroying Hamas is probably considered more important. Hostages could have been released easily depending on the deal.

@Bumbles so you agree with israel’s critics. The whole UN was called antisemites.

@trollslayer I think I would need to know a specific quote at this point, so I am not misunderstood in my response.

“Israel’s critics” is a bit broad. There are many specific criticisms.
