Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

It’s because they did this on purpose. The plan was always to kill as many as possible as horrific as possible and as quickly as possible…. Then run and hide behind the Palestinian people…. To draw Israel into a war in which they end up looking like they want to kill Palestinians only. They want to kill Israel in the eyes of public perception because they have no way of beating them on a battlefield. The only people who don’t see this, are people who don’t want to.

Which is exactly why Israel - while needing to respond in a forceful way - needs to go out of its way to demonstrate it follows strictly the rules of war. To show clearly they are different from Hamas. And right now, they are not creating that perception.
