    I find the hysteria over the the top. Like, they targeted and killed two Hamas commanders. So when the article quotes someone saying they targeted civilians in tents, that should be called out as a lie.

    It might not be big news for you, but once you see the same military speak and narrative over and over again, you start to question and become more criticial of what they say vs. what is closer to the truth.

    Reminds me of some other wars, where we droned many civilians, 'but we were targeting terrorists" line is also used to a certain degree.

    Which war and whistleblower released the info on the closer to real data of civilian death vs. military reported civilan deaths…Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, or Pakistan.

    The Iraq War documents leak is the disclosure to WikiLeaks of 391,832 United States Army field reports, also called the Iraq War Logs, of the Iraq War from 2004 to 2009 and published on the Internet on 22 October 2010. The files record 66,081 civilian deaths out of 109,000 recorded deaths.

    Seems like the airstrike caused some flammable materials to catch fire and it spread to the tents. The resultant fire was obviously not intentional.

    That may be true, but when you see Israeli talking points in legacy media, they make sure to always bring up how much effort they put into keeping the civilan death count to the minimum. They do not release any of the data on this though, only on the ‘Hamas’ terrorist death count.

    Hey, maybe don’t make camp with Hamas commanders? Maybe point them out on day one of the war so everyone can go back home? This should have been over in November.

    Have you heard of Guerrilla warfare? Our gov’t and military has a lot of experience with this type of warfare, but if you look at the data, it seems to only increase terrorists due to them spreading out and, due to civilian deaths, it tends to increase terrorism due to martyrs and revenge for family/friends.

    Guerrilla warfare is a form of unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military, such as rebels, partisans, paramilitary personnel or armed civilians including recruited children, use ambushes, sabotage, terrorism, raids, petty warfare or hit-and-run tactics in a rebellion, in a violent conflict, in a war or in a civil war to fight against regular military, police or rival insurgent forces.

    I hope this has helped you see a different point of view, I would suggest to read about the US wars we have been a part of for around a couple of decades.

    You may read military and legacy media data on the wars, then look at the leaked information to contrast and compare the information.

    Feel free to share that information [with] us as well!

    Let us keep talking to people we do not agree with or think like we do!
