Holy shit I didn't know friendly fire was this big of a problem with the IDF:

Nearly a fifth of Israeli fatalities since the invasion of Gaza in late October were caused by friendly fire or accidents, accounting for 36 of the 188 soldiers killed at the time of the report

I don't think even Russians have managed to be that terrible. I mean yeah, urban combat's pretty fuckin' hairy in any case, but that's just… damn. "Very loose rules of engagement" indeed

The fact that the IDF has so many kills on the IDF is honestly its most redeeming quality.

Hah oh yeah, it's like that joke that goes along the lines of "well, say what you want about Hitler, but at least he killed Hitler." It's also hilarious that their self-own rate is that high considering how chuds always love crowing about how eLiTe the IDF supposedly is.

Hey now, they trained for long hours and their government invested in (and was gifted by the US) a whole lot of expensive equipment in order to enable them to murder toddlers (and each other). If that isn't the mark of an elite fighting force then I don't know what is!

The brain (such as it is) of a liberal is a weird place. I really don't understand how they justify supporting Israel

They usually don't justify it. They usually just sling abuse at people who oppose genocide.
