As far as I understand Israel doesn’t claim that it didn’t bomb a school area, it claims that it was filled with terrorists and had to go.

If I’m understanding this right, Israel is saying “this is the price that Gaza pays because we have to kill the terrorists” while also trying to minimize to the press how many civilians were actually caught up in these bombings.

Basically killing Hamas is above any Palestinian human rights for Israel, though I suspect that if the world wasn’t watching, the genocidal government there would actually just straight up give orders to kill them all.

No need to suspect. They’ve said many times that global opinion is the only thing curbing their genocide.

At least they are honest, right?

It’s okay though, that ceasefire is totally coming any day now.

Please ignore their constant immediate rejection of their own plan and assassination of a negotiator, Biden administration totally gonna make it happen any day now

They have it in writing (leaked months ago) that some ridiculous number like over 1000 Palestinian civilian casualties were acceptable if they got to kill a terrorist.

Also, anyone in colors or in proximity to Hamas members or known gathering areas in the last 2 years, is automatically labeled a terrorist by Israel

Basically they pretend to have a formula to regulate civilian casualties but they have twisted its variables so far that any scenario can be solved by bombing no matter the collateral damage

technically they didn’t twist the variables, they just lied, or vastly misrepresented them.

Just yesterday I was playing the Batman telltale series. In it, Mayor Dent, during his descent into becoming Two Face, blows up a city block in Gotham in an attempt to thwart a terrorist organization. Two Face was put in a mental asylum for the action. I vote we do the same thing to Netanyahu.

Haven’t the schools been closed for several months now? There shouldn’t be any civilians in there, let alone kids.

Civilians are sheltering in the schools, since, you know, they’re running out of buildings.

What about terrorists in the refugee camps? They need to bomb them in case the next trump is amongst them

Drop enough bombs and you can be assured there isn’t.

I don’t think the guy you are replying to should be called Jesus Christ, it doesn’t matter much to me as an atheist, but I think Jesus was against all this nonsense.

(This is a joke)
