So you claim you can see a militant with a gun, but not a much larger logo on a van?
Good grief IDFs explanation creates more questions than answers.
You claim you are being "singled out" because you are Israel - well when you go around for decades shouting that you are the "most moral army in the world" you sure as hell are inviting such criticism. Other countries face the same criticism for such actions, yet you fail to acknowledge it, instead claiming you are being singled out.
It would be much easier if you could claim you had some "trigger happy extremist soldiers" and then discipline them accordingly.
Instead they are telling us that they thought a bag a guy was carrying was a gun, then a whole story about a chain of errors. Not sure if I believe it. But if it is true, that may be worse. Do you think anyone will believe this is the first time it happened?
NOPE.
This now calls into question all the other similar incidents where they claimed "a militant was hiding in there" or "we saw a man with a gun". Any rational person will now believe the same "misidentification" happened with most of them. The nuns that got gunned down. The massacre at the delivery truck... all of them.
That "misidentification" on a gross scale is called "Indiscriminate bombing."
And you called us all antisemites for pointing it out. I doubt Israel will apologize for such comments.
And guess what? Now people won't believe you when you claim you saw a weapon and opened fire - and they have just reason not to.
It shows a systematic problem whereby you don't care who you are shooting at. If you could claim you saw a Hamas operative in every house or every car, you would claim just cause to blow them all up and call us all antisemites for wanting proof that there was a Hamas fighter in every car or house.
And that is called GENOCIDE.
Israel has dug itself quite a deep hole here. And its sad, because many Israelis see what the problem is, but may be powerless to stop it. Netanyahu and his extremist ilk need to be gone ASAP if Israel is to avoid decades of further conflict.
