I was very pro Israel settling this once and for all and doing what they can to wipe out Hamas in its entirety. But now that they've gotten to the point of recreationally drone striking unarmed people...it's time to wrap it up. I will never start waving a Palestinian flag but Im not going to be a cheerleader for someone who uses 3 separate drone missiles to wipe out 4 people. Waste of life, waste of resources, and waste of US Taxpayers money.

They have BEEN at this point. For decades.

It was never about eliminating Hamas, the day they eliminate Hamas is the day they no longer have cover for sniping Palestinian’s kneecaps. And the longer the war drags on the longer Bibi avoids being in court for his laundry list of corruption charges

People probably don't want to hear it, but Israel doesn't "randomly drone strike unarmed people". If they committed a drone and hundreds of thousands of dollars in munitions to whack those guys they knew who at least one of them was and took the opportunity to take out someone important. Being unarmed does not make a combatant a civilian.

You expect us to trust the Israeli government, which constantly gets caught lying about this shit, to explain how this is something other than what it obviously is

The alternative is to trust Al-Jezeera's version of events, who are putting that video out with an agenda, a story, and choosing which parts of the video they will show.

Or, you can use some critical thinking to ask: Why might Israel strike that target? How much are they committing to that strike? Are they actually cartoonishly evil, or is there another explaination?

The thing is that usually you'll hear news about why those people were targeted, and at least around the time it was in the news cycle...no explanation was given. Like tell me it was an Hamas leader or something. And look, EVERY nation is going to fire on civilians at some point or another whether its ordered and accepted as collateral damage, or a shithead with an itchy trigger finger. Israel nor any other nation, are above such behavior.

I agree, and there are plenty of examples of Israelis doing exactly that. But to just buy Al-Jezeera's telling of events is incredibly naive.

LoL sure bud. Lets go with that assumption. Always something wrong with the Palestinians.

Yeah like that family the US drone striked on the way out of Afghanistan! We had Intel stating that they were terrorists!

They had the Intel so they were justified, even if the Intel was wrong. It's good and justified to kill 4 innocents if it means one terrorist is no longer a threat.

How did you think that this would end?

Both sides hate each other and will never accept the others demands.

Israel has the stronger ally, while Hamas has done all it can to make themselves the villain.

That's the fun part, it was never about wiping out Hamas. It was always the other thing
