The IDF and Shin Bet security agency on Saturday night named 19 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror operatives that it said it killed in an airstrike Saturday morning on a Hamas and Islamic Jihad command room at the Taba’een school in Gaza City.

Well that makes up for the other 81 dead.

Oh wait, no it doesn't at all.

I think their AI targeting machine was programmed to accept a 1 to 100 ratio of Hamas vs civilians. I guess stuff like that makes them the most moral army in the world.

Which is expected from the only democracy in this barbaric part of the world amirite

They are still a democracy until the fascists in power take over the judicial (bibi was trying) and cancel elections altogether. The left and the army want bibi to go. However, the government can't fall, because bibi doesn't want to go to jail and the ultraorthodox far-right will collapse government if there is a cease-fire...meanwhile Israel can't be pressured from the outside because the US has bipartisan unconditional support and the EU is MIA...threats by Iran only embolden bibi to start a fight so they can destroy Iran's nuclear tech...

Either the army rebels and demands new elections🙄...or someone amnisties bibi on condition of him calling new elections and going into exile😑 ...I'm making shit up at this point...

Oh mate - that just would make them authoritarians. They're already fascist.

Whether there were any legitimate targets is entirely inconsequential. They're after a body count. Nothing more. They just wanna stack corpses.

As of now the Palestinian health authorities haven't released the names of those 81 that are allegedly dead. Usually they don't take long at all. In the meantime the IDF has released the 19 terrorists that totally weren't hiding inside a school and are now dead. I assume most of those 81 don't exist.

Why do you need to see a list of dead people's names as if people aren't dying when there's a war going on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hamas is known to inflate the number of dead and injured, cry wolf over and over and, in general, lie in order to make Israel and The IDF look bad. All while painting themselves as poor, innocent sheep.

The first thing they did was to accuse The IDF of killing over 100 children by dropping a 2 ton bomb in the middle of a school.

As we can see, neither the number of dead, the munitions used or the demography that was targeted (Hamas militants vs children) are factually correct.

We are, in fact, at war with a terrorist organization. Targeting them while trying to minimize civilian casualties is acceptable and is what's actually happening.

It's "known" that Tim Walz quit the military so he couldn't see combat, even though that isn't true.

That's the thing about stuff that is "known."
