The people yelling genocide, like yourself, live in some sort of idealistic fairly tale land, where Israel (unlike any other country in the world), is held to ridiculously high standards that no other country would be held to. I feel like you people expect Israel to go into hostile enemy territory, knocking on doors, kindly requesting Hamas operatives out to a tea party in the town square.
The killing of the hostages was a terrible tragedy and those soldiers should be discharged, and should not be involved in the war effort anymore. They’ll have to live with that friendly fire incident for the rest of their lives. There’s no excuse for that, and they did not follow the rules of engagement. Israel flat out came and said that. It doesn’t matter if that was a member of Hamas with their hands up. There’s been countless videos of Hamas operatives surrendering. They’re not being slaughtered.
Are you seriously taking that incident, and some other isolated incidents caught on video, and using that as a basis for the actions of the entire IDF? God forbid social media was around during any war going back 50-100 years. You’d think that every army, even Canada’s, was an immoral piece of garbage.
It’s laughable that people who have never been involved in any sort of war situation, can sit there on their keyboards, playing the moral high horse game.
Exchange between John Kirby and and reporter:
Reporter: "You seem to give the Israelis more of a benefit of the doubt than your own president...civilian casualties are mounting..."
Kirby: "They have published online maps of places where people can go or not go. That's basically telegraphing your punches! There's very few modern militaries in the world that would do that! I don't know that WE would do that!"

This whole “war is hell, people die, context matters and these are all isolated incidents so stop playing the moral high horse game!” bit would probably land better if you hadn’t just recently said context
doesn’t matter while ascribing the intent of one group to the entire world population in an effort to play the moral high horse game about some
words people
say.
I don’t know. I guess we’re supposed to believe it’s different when you sit behind your keyboard.
