@sunsporter1649 well, they spotted a man with a supposed weapon in the dark

They did dismiss a couple of officers and soldiers. In this case, I tend to believe it was just an enormous error. There was no upside for them to do this. The backlash would have been obvious in advance.

That said, if they did go with "singled out" that makes perfect sense. Being persecuted is their lane and they use it to justify all kinds of shit. The only path forward that I see that could result in something workable is if Netanyahu, and his supporters in government, are ousted. When religious, conservative zealots are driving the train you know there's going to be a bad crash.

@Ynotisay I agree. But in my mind it would have been much better for them to say "we had an extremist and we are dealing with him" instead of having to admit you are shooting at people without confirmation, withe the obvious conclusion that this is not an isolated incident. We have a few bad apples vs we have a major problem with our morals and our strategy.

@JSul3 I saw that. So they basically made a computer program to determine who lives and who dies.

Isn't that God's job?

@trollslayer Evidently it is the IDF's.

I just can’t get over that people get killed in war in general, and this example, in particular, the only military conflict on the planet.

Someone should write a letter to the editor.

@Bumbles and gambling. You left that out

@Bumbles There is an invasion of Ukraine by Putin.....and thanks to Bibi dropping a few bombs on Syria, more conflict to come.
Oh, but I'm sure the Israeli government will perform an honest investigation into their own actions. 🙄
