    Just imagine trying to use a terrorist mob as a yardstick to excuse the misdeeds of the advanced 21st century military of a modern democracy.

      I wouldn’t go as far as to claim Israel is a modern democracy… but I agree with the advanced 21st century military part.

      No excuses, but it helps to remember context. People are people, and there are always shitty people in any state. It is what considered acceptable is important. What more do you want from IDF? Execution without investigation?

      Also this is honestly goes as nitpicking. Yes, there are always bad apples. But as far as I can see IDF reacts correctly. It is disturbing in my opinion that there is so much anti-Israel propaganda (not even criticism) is ongoing and supported by clearly more than half of the fediverse (judging by upvoting), where even correct behavior is criticized, and completely ignores the realities that Israel has to deal with. Not even criticizing the use of Himan shields by Hamas, for example.

        Oh, heavens no. That’s not what I want from the idf. At this point, that’s what I want for the idf.

        It’s worrying for me that you’re confusing anti-israel propaganda with anti-terrorism discussion. At this point, Israel is a terrorist state. It shouldn’t ‘disturb’ you that people discuss about it and find that they don’t agree with their actions. People are rarely alright with mindless murder for any reason, let alone for land-grabbing masked as religion. Bombing civilians and hospitals, humiliating people because you’re holding a gun and get off on being “powerful”, raping people and committing war crimes, ethnically cleansing a region for the past 70 years, holy shit, this is what you see from a terrorist organization masquerading as a legitimate state and you draw the conclusion that it’s disturbing to be against that? Maybe you should be disturbed by your misshapen world view where all of this is acceptable.
