"Israel says "Hi civilian we're about to bomb this building because a Hamas target is inside. Please leave so you are not hurt."
Hamas responds with "Go stand on the roof."
But your suggestion is that Israel is somehow the bad guy there?
You "know" that because the very people bombing civilians told you so.
Only a very special kind of person would trust killers when they provide unverifiable "justifications" for their killings that just so happen to blame somebody else and excuse their actions.
Just so I'm clear, which aspect of what I described do you believe does not happen?
Just wanna know the right one to cite.
Israel warning people by phone, leaflet, and then "door knocking" while Hamas tells them to go to their roof/"form a human shield" https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/09/world/middleeast/by-phone-and-leaflet-israeli-attackers-warn-gazans.html?_r=0
Here's their own words, calling all Palestinians to be martyrs
From wikipedia because I don't want to read the whole charter. original charter linked below the quote (and on the Wikipedia page)
Here's a phone call showing the greater scale of how seriously they take viewing every Palestinian as a martyr, by forcing people to remain in the North at gunpoint

Warnings like?
Warnings like the things I posted earlier.
I am aware that Israel is bad at propaganda. If anything, that's further evidence in my favor.
If you were actually concerned about killing someone with your airstrike, wouldn't you warn them in the fucking language they speak, in a way that actually reaches them???? I'm so fucking baffled at the psychology behind excusing what is going on.
Literally the post you're replying to
In your favor... wow you are truly amazing at spin. Keep making the argument that I was right about you being a duck.
Posting direct quotes is not "spin."
Fuck off.
Netanyahu said “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. 1 Samuel 15:3 ‘Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass’," .
I'm done debating with genocide cheerleaders.
My point:
Your "evidence":
Openly antisemitic, Hitler-loving, pro-Hamas propagandists proudly declare how much they love it when Palestinians die. This is not uncommon on Memri TV.
That has nothing to do with my post whatsoever
it doesn't? I thought I was reinforcing your point...
If you intend it that way, you'll need to add your context.
As-written it reads like a reply to the wrong comment
You say Hamas wants all Palestinians to be martyrs.
I pointed out how much Hamas loves it when Palestinians die.
what is the disconnect?
Yes, because people that care about not killing Innocents would say "why don't we go in shoot just the terrorist instead of leveling the whole block?"
Urban combat results in more civilian casualties. Urban combat is a hellish meat grinder.
Bullshit
Yes now imagine how easy it is to ambush there. Now imagine you live in the area still. How dangerous would an army be forced to view you as?
You should really read up on urban combat. Aleppo has a lot of documentation on it.
Lmao. No. You don't have a clue what you're talking about. An Infantry fight in an urban area sucks but it's far less destructive than leveling entire blocks with explosives.
Less destructive but more fatal to civilians.
It's weird you don't know this, honestly
Bullshit. Unless you're committing war crimes left and right.
Fewer civilian casualties is literally the reason the US started using drone strikes instead of boots on the ground.
Dude. They started using drones because there's no congressional hearing when a drone is shot down in some random African country. But you lose one green beret and there's years of hearings. That's why we went to drones.
No. We used drones in an active warzone first
Just stop. Nobody said they were peaceful areas.
