Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)
Yeah, this is problematic. One can also just label anything a military target and use that justification to strike civilian areas.
You notice how there isn’t any record of Hamas existing in the West Bank, but the terrorism that the IDF has inflicted there went on without question, too.
That’s what has been done since the beginning, the IDF just labels everything “Hamas” and that means killing people in large numbers wherever they are is fair game.
The number of children killed versus the number of Hamas leaders should tell you all you need to know. Unfortunately, Israeli propaganda has convinced a lot of people in western circles who were already biased toward Israel in the first place. This is part of what’s contributing to the IDF being able to get away with it and just kill anyone they want.
People really need to look in any capacity at the history of not only Israeli propaganda campaigns, but US funded and based propaganda.
