Do you think that Israeli forces are indiscriminately bombing and shooting Palestinian civilians to the tune of almost 1000 killed or injured?
Indiscriminately? No. Without adequate or acceptable levels of discrimination? Absolutely.
That's not what I was responding to, though. I was responding to your writing that the Israelis lied about coming under heavy fire because they didn't take heavy losses. The IDF has been known to lie, but that doesn't make everything they say a lie. And your rationale for saying it was untrue makes no sense.
It makes everything they say extremely untrustworthy.
So how many KIA do they have then?
1 by the way.
But I dont understand why is it even a measure. You expected probably best commando unit in the world specifically trained for this type of rescues to get heavy losses?
Best in the world? A world that also has, (checks notes) SFOD, SEALs, SAS, and whatever the CIA is cooking these days.
All of whom would have taken more than one casualty in intense urban fighting. And have done so in the past. Something doesn't add up here.
I expect the "best commando unit" (your ~~propaganda~~ words) to have a lower death toll.
The fact one of them was killed means the fighting probably wasn't intense enough to warrant that level of violence.
Fuck Israel and their indiscriminate killing
I just expect them to bring the hostages home safely and alive by all means necessary.
So how do all those dead kids factor into that? Lmfao get out of here
Its sad indeed. But why oh why in the holy fuck are the hostages held in places with so many kids and civilians. Heck why oh why are there hostages at all??
Oh we're just ignoring the destruction of all infrastructure, the starving and abuse that brought us here? Smfh 200 innocents is no mistake only fools would think that.
smfh
FTFY, would be shorter to type
Not. Discriminate. Enough.
Yes.
