"The IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option," an Israeli intelligence officer said. "It's much easier to bomb a family's home. The system is built to look for them in these situations."
The original article had some really damning lines. Israel is beyond barbaric they try to bomb suspects inside of their family homes instead of trying to target active combatants
“We were not interested in killing [Hamas] operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity,” A., an intelligence officer, told +972 and Local Call. “On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”
Killing as many civilians as possible is modus operandi for israelis.
There are so many things that were horrifying about the US’s prosecution of the Global War on Terror, but at least when confronted with the same problem the US was like, “what if we invented a knife missile that can hit a guy in the driver’s seat of a car without hurting anybody standing next to the car?” whereas the IDF took the position that a 100:1 ratio of innocent bystander to presumed militant is totally acceptable (in an environment where fully half of those innocent bystanders are children to boot). Just absolutely ghoulish levels of inhumanity.
Killing as many as possible is very untrue. If the aim was to kill everyone, the conflict would have been over within a week and 2 million people would be dead.
Israel has tolerances how many civilians can be killed for one Hamas member. Issue is that I don’t believe that 100 lives are worth for a single unimportant terrorist. That’s worth condemning.
Also, targeting homes should be the last resort if nothing else is possible. Not the first option. This is worth condemning, as well.
They want to make life as cruel and horrible as possible for everyone in Gaza. Also their goal is to kill as many as possible while having people defend them for “not targeting civilians”.
Rather it seems to me they don’t really care. They just want to get the job done while testing how far can they go. And they know they can go very far because otherwise west would lose a close ally in mideast.
And it’s quite sad because despite the fact that Israel has the right to defend itself, it should not have a right to do what it is currently doing.
Israel has the right to defend itself like every country. It does not occupy Palestinian territories, just undisputed ones (which is also illegal).
In terms of Gaza, they withdrew in 2005.
So whilst starting the war against Hamas was fully understandable, it has to be done in accordance with the international law. And Israel fails to do that.
Strange i recall there being a giant fence around Gaza and israel controlling everything that goes in and out. Maybe I’ve read a few too many Human Rights Organisation reports.
No. That’s not killing “as many as possible”. That’s accepting civilians around the official to be killed. If anything it’s extremely targeted attack. Killing as many as possible would be carpet bombing the whole thing and calling it a day.
Images after bombing, the area was essentially carpet bombed. There have been thousands of more bombs dropped since this article. The IDF wouldn’t function without western support. This is plausable deniability, they can kill substantial numbers of people and blame it on this system or ‘collateral damage’. They have to maintain an image at least somewhat. So they kill as many as they can get away with.
The Israeli state has made it clear for years they don’t believe in the long-term existance of Palestine. This is part of their project to eliminate as many Palestinians as possible to more easily take territory.

As an occupier israel does not have the right to defend itself.

Israel has blockade Gaza since 2000s. They are an occupier. And Gaza has the right to defend itself and this barbaric occupier.
No, they left Gaza in 2005.
There are 0 Israelis in Gaza. The only thing Gaza can defend against is Hamas.

The Israeli imposed closure on Gaza began in 1991, temporarily, becoming permanent in 1993. The barrier began around Gaza around 1972.

fucking bootlickers man, what makes a person such a fascist apologist
Being raised by propaganda will do that.
Still a war crime.

IDK slaying 100 civilians per target sounds like a fuckload of war crimes if you ask me.
If they can track them then they can wait. This is the definition of a proportionate force war crime.
