It's amazing they went with "friendly fire" to describe shooting three guys waving a white flag with their hands up, then chasing down the guy who survived the initial massacre and murdering him in cold blood as he begged for his life in Hebrew.

I'm amazed they even admitted to any of this, it's just so bad. Of course they can always fall back on the 'if Hamas hadn't taken them hostage this wouldn't have happened' line, but that one's getting increasingly tired too (and is easily countered by any variation of 'if you hadn't decided to occupy Palestine ...'.

Friendly fire is when you willfully kill your own citizens. Police brutality? Friendly fire. Drone strike a civilian? Friendly fire. Shoot a hostage? Friendly fire. It's okay because it's all just friendly fire. So friendly. Like a good neighbor. Friendly comfy

margaret-thatcher friendly fire is a regrettable but inevitable consequence of war. it's a good thing the adults are in the room willing to make the mature, rational decisions to ensure it continues to be inevitable, and to publicly announce their deep regret when it happens.

The problem with friendly fire is eventually you run out of friendlies to fire at

Friendly-fire killings of hostages may force Israel to reconsider Gaza strategy.

Zionist fan fiction to lull American liberals back to sleep.

The "rethinkin gaza strategy" and "scale back war (raise questions over its military strategy)" according to the MSM TV programming I saw thew other day was literally to revert back entirely to airstrikes.

Death to all this crap. It's just beyond evil. I can't put it in words it's so incomprehensibly evil.
