That story was "fed to me" by the IDF.
Nowhere does it say the IDF were fired upon.
I mean I can't imagine hungry civilians who have been bombed int he areas they were told to go to be aggressive at getting some supplies.
Any time civilians are targeted, as in this story, it is wrong. Very simple.
Is the IDF targeting civilians? A person who "poses a threat" is not a civilian, they are armed. Civilians are unarmed by definition. An armed "civilian" is a partisan, and partisan's are not covered by the rules of warfare. You consistently ignore the fact that Hamas deliberately hides in civilian areas to make sure that any engagement with them causes civilian casualties. If only you could must up 1/10th the outrage over that issue as you do with the IDF.
Quote:When the US bombed civilians it was wrong.
Was it genocide?
Quote:When Israel keeps a group of people locked in a spot and kills them with the stated goal of eliminating them all? What do you call it?
Egypt keeps them "locked in a spot" as well. Is Egypt committing genocide? The stated goal is eliminating Hamas, not the Palestinian people. Why would you be deliberately deceptive about this? To justify your hyperbolic claims?
Quote:More simply, siding with Netanyahu on any of this is wrong.
Netanyahu sucks, he's the Dick Cheney of Israel. If they had a more level headed leader right now I think the conflict would be progressing much better for them. That said, it's not hard to side with him when the other side engages in mass rape, gleefully broadcasts themselves slaughtering civilians and kidnaps infants and toddlers as hostages.
Can you direct me to your posts attacking Hamas and the Arab states that prop them up? How about Iran that directly funds them? Any responsibility for what's happening now to be born by them?
