Imagine how different your interpretation would be if you clicked that link and saw that city is not a bunch of fleeing people in tents - you know, explicitly the purpose of my comment.
"You shot that guy in the head!"
"What's the big deal, he was wearing a bullet proof vest."
More like
"You shot that guy in the head!"
"I told him for two weeks that if he didn't leave the area, he'd probably end up shot, because this is an active warzone"
"But he was in a refugee camp!"
"It was a refugee camp 70 years ago and now it's just a city, but the name stuck"
"But you're Jewish!"
"I told them for tWo WeEkS to leave the area after I cut off power, water, and other resources. It's not like that makes it harder to near impossible for you to get this message, but i did :> and we totally don't have a heavily documented past of bombing schools, hospitals, and journalists. Also, we didn't cut the power off to ensure our war crimes aren't documented :> Also, oops, we killed some hostages in our indiscrimante bombings. Oh! But also Hamas killed babies, here are some pics. What?? We killed how many children already?? Those are jusf casualties of war!"
Stop making excuses for them. If this was the USA no one would be excusing this shit.
They absolutely would be excusing it and they did because the US occupied entire nations after 9/11.
Are you making excuses for terrorists? or maybe just everyone has a different opinion.
Yes, we occupied multiple countries because of war. The civilian casualty count of our wars is no where near what Israel is doing. We have the UCMJ. The IDF has no such governance. As far as I can tell, as a US Navy veteran, the IDF doesn't have/believe in the rules of engagement. They are going full tilt, and indiscriminately targeting civilians. The US military has its own issues, and I will never deny that, but we don't knowingly target civilians.
The death count of iraqi civilians is in the hundreds of thousands, and thats only that one specific conflict, they broadcast the bombings of baghdad on TV, the world excused that as well, so if this was the USA it would 100% be excused.

This is what I saw before I even came on Lemmy.
So you saw it's a city, which is more than most here.
We know it's a city. We object to the bit where bombs are dropped on many innocent people living in the city.
They should've asked them to leave.
Oh wait.
Go where with what money and fuel to stay where? And are they safe there?
Gaza is 41 kilometres (25 miles) long, from 6 to 12 km (3.7 to 7.5 mi) wide. Manhattan is 13.4 miles (21.6km) long and about 2.3 miles (3.7km) across at its widest point. So Gaza as a whole is maybe 4 times the size of Manhattan. And they're using these bombs there?! Have you been to Manhattan?
Edit: Here's the overlay of Gaza on Manhattan: https://www.newsweek.com/gaza-strip-size-us-cities-maps-1833863#slideshow/2292665
These are war crimes. Same as what Hamas did on October 7th. Netanyahu and his government belong in the ICC dungeons of the Hague, the same as Hamas.
