How does one confuse a hostage for an enemy combatant?

Was the hostage holding a weapon?

They care so much about the hostages, they'll kill them before anyone else can

And that's the thing, it's for certain that way more hostages have been killed by the IDF bc these bombs do not discriminate

@deadgerbil And to think, folks were called antisemitic for criticizing the use of "dumb" bombs.

@trollslayer it's one of those topics where it's like you're walking through a minefield. Any step and it will blow up in your face bc people will mischaracterize you, make assumptions etc

@deadgerbil Yes, it's very tricky to express empathy for suffering in Gaza

@deadgerbil My hope through all this is that it can open up a conversation about antisemitism, and that most of those being claimed as "antisemites" are really just caring people trying to HELP the Jewish people in the long run. Sad to see hostages killed by friendly fire, but maybe, just maybe, it will wake more Israelis up to concerns expressed by the rest of the world rather than to immediately dismiss them.
