    Yeah it’s really hard to not make civilian casualties when you throw a JDAM on a refugee camp. If only they could count the amount of children they’re gonna kill in advance from their Reaper drone and throw it right in the middle of them. Surely they wouldn’t kill all those kids if they knew they existed. That would make the IDF genocidal terrorists!

    Your claim about rifles is true. The coward IDF should dare to go in with rifles and risk their lives like Hamas did on oct7. But the IDF would rather kill a hundred thousand babies than risk their own lives. They have barely entered Gaza and are just bombing it down with airplanes.

      Some anonymous sources in articles I’ve read say there is an acceptable number of acceptable civilian casualties per Hamas target that is set by IDF, and this figure went up significantly after the last attack on Israel.

      Surely they wouldn’t kill all those kids if they knew they existed. That would make the IDF genocidal terrorists!

      Killing of children as collateral damage is terrible, but it does not a genocide make.

      The coward IDF should dare to go in with rifles and risk their lives like Hamas did on oct7.

      That sounds like a terrible strategy that would only serve to help their opponents, for the purpose of what, risking their lives to not be, “cowards,” in your eyes? If Hamas had air strike capabilities I suspect they would use them on civilians with no hesitation and far less restraint. Their stated goal is genocide, after all, while Israel vehemently denies that they are committing one or intend to commit one.

          Did you watch that video? It says that an 8-year-old was killed in a shootout with militants during a raid. Not exactly the same as, “intentionally shooting and killing little children.” Collateral damage. Why are you misrepresenting this clip?

            An 8 year old was killed as the IDF drove away and shot unarmed kids. There was no “shoot out” taking place.
