    • 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.

      The anti-Israel don’t care that Israel is bending over backwards to minimize human suffering while fighting a decades long war against people who are deliberately trying to kill their children.

      Remember how upset they are when Israel does something 100 percent defensive, like build a security fence to keep out an endless stream of suicide bombers?

      This isn’t good-faith criticism.

      These people hate Israel for this that they works be applauding other countries for. And we all know why.

          Sure… In the same way that cops don’t necessarily have to be racist to be part of a system that is unquestionably racist.

          Plenty of people who aren’t anti-Jewish don’t give a second thought to the fact that they spend about 10000% more energy publicly criticizing Israel than they do any of Israel’s neighbors who oppress women horrifically, murder LGBTQ people, and are unabashedly pro-genocide.

          They also criticize Israel for civilian collateral damage without acknowledging that Israeli’s steps to minimize those deaths are the most advanced in history, and that they easily outperform even the United States in minimizing casualties during military operations.

          So, no… You don’t have to be anti-Jewish to be anti Israel, but when you criticize the only Jewish state for things that you give inarguably worse nations a pass for… Your absolutely feeding into an anti-Jewish system.
