    You think giving notice makes bombing okay? It’s okay to hurt someone if you’re sending first aids afterwards?

    What a sick world view.

    Not to mentuon the illegal settlements and suprrssing and harassement of Palestinians daily.

      Copied from another comment:

      • Hamas sets up military operations in a civilian building by force - the civilians have no say in this and get killed if they protest
      • Hamas then uses that building to launch rockets, store ammunition, communication stations

      How the fuck should Israel proceed to neutralize those sites? Because what they do is:

      • “Roof knocking”: Hitting the building’s roof with a small explosive to announce that it will fall in 15 minutes (see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teevWpXlRZY example from yesterday)
      • Automatic SMS and phone calls impacted areas warning and urging to evacuate
      • Precision strikes that make the building fall vertically with minimal damage to the areas

      As a result, civilians (and potentially military personnel) are given a chance to evacuate while ammunition stashes, rocket launching stations etc stay in the building and are destroyed.

      To be honest, I’m shocked those protocols are still used after Hamas’s attack. I would absolutely not be surprised of these measures stopped.

      It’s war, those are the rules of engagement for war. I’d they didn’t do that out would be considered a war crime. It’s not about what someone’s world view is. Israel definitely created the situation they are in today through their oppression, but that is how you do that. 15 minutes is enough time to evacuate.

        rules of engagement for war

        I thought those were “shoot before you get shot”. Firing warning shots is being super polite about it. Still sucks for the civilians though.

      You think giving notice DOESN’T make it okay?

      Israel has found a way of destroying terrorists headquarters without injuring the civilians that Hamas is using as human shields.

      In the history of the WORLD has any country every bent over backwards this much?

      And you guys wonder why both Republicans and Democrats overwhelming ignore your criticisms? It’s because your position isn’t a serious one.
