That's about as "fair" as bombing a school because it has an active shooter in it and then claiming it was the shooter's fault you killed so many people.

Wouldn't surprise me if that was under consideration in Uvalde..

While bomb is hyperbole, felony murder is a thing. If the cops shoot someone trying to stop a criminal, they do blame the criminal.

bomb is hyperbole

I don't see how. Thousands of civilians are being killed with bombs. That's literally what the meme is about.

Not sure how it works in your country, but in mine police are not allowed to disregard the safety of bystanders.

I mean, the main topic is literally Israel bombing hospitals and refugee camps... It is completely NOT hyperbole in reality to the actual topic of the main post.
