Now you assume that the IDF loves killing. It's an army, and it's mandatory conscription for anyone who turns 18 in Israel, with a couple of minor exceptions. I'm sure that the vast majority of its soldiers never killed anyone, or have been on the front lines.
Finally, you've never been on a battlefield, and never experienced the raw emotion of being thrust into war. Mistakes do happen, a lot, because fear, and human errors are still factors. It's awfully convenient criticizing soldiers from your comfy couch.
It's interesting you're trying to spin it as though I support the killing of innocents. It couldn't be farther from the truth. No one wants to see innocents die. However, leaving Hamas in power would truly mean that all those innocents that died on both sides, died for nothing. Israel as a country isn't going anywhere.

Regarding israel not shooting unarmed civilians, did you actually not follow along the last year?
I don't even need to point to the IDF shooting unarmed Palestinians, they literally shot 3 unarmed israeli hostages. Is the recording what you found evil? Not the killing?
So you don't think you could do anything to stop the IDF from killing innocent people? Why do you think Gazans have the power to stop Hamas? Kind of convenient criticizing Gazan civilians for not stopping terrorists from your comfy couch.
Also nobody here has ever said israel is going anywhere. Almost every single person in here who are speaking out against Israel's actions have called for a 2 state solution. Israel is not going anywhere and neither are the Palestinians so they better learn to get along.
