Later in the article they talk about how they specifically approved up to 15-20 civilians to die with those marked individuals and would bomb their homes as a first option.
I’m disgusted by this, I don’t care anymore what happened in October, this needs to stop. Israel government cannot be trusted to run this war, it’s turned into genocide and we’re all complicit letting them do it and supporting them. I can’t believe people actually support this, it’s clear they’ve forgotten Palestinians are people.
- gambiting 3y agoIsraeli officials are constantly being asked "how many dead palestinians is too many" in this conflict, and the answer has explicitly been "there is no such thing" way too many times. There is no upper limit on how many people can be killed to further their goals. The most upsetting(for me) thing is reports of all the kids killed by snipers and just in general, as a father I cannot imagine losing my child to this. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-palestinian-children-killed-idf-israel-war https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-palestini... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/23/israel-killing-children-west-bank https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/23/israel...

- Angostura 3y agoHas any combatant in any armed struggle ever given a clear answer to that question?
- roywiggins 3y agoIf you multiply out the number of targets that Lavender generated by the number of acceptable civilian deaths per target, you get a number that is ~40% of all Gazans.
- cutemonster 3y agoAnd if killing that many, there'd be many times more severely wounded/impaired, meaning, everyone
- gambiting 3y agoJournalists aren't asking combatants - they are asking politicians in the Israeli government. Because there has to be a number, right? Is 30k dead palestinians too many? Is 50k? is 200k? How about all of them?
- Angostura 3y agoNy combatants, I meant the political entites fighting - in this case that would be the state of Israel and Hamas.
- majikaja 3y agoCognitive dissonance? Those children are just cockroaches to a large portion of the Israeli population The mistake the west made was not recognizing that some Israelis are just as capable of the same level of savagery as the original Hamas attacks. 'They share the same values as us westerners', they said.... they assassinated their own president!
- robbomacrae 3y agoYes its genocide. In 1999 Yugoslavia killed ~12 thousand Albanians and displaced ~85 thousand more. Bill Clintons secretary of defense had no problem calling that genocide: "The appalling accounts of mass killing in Kosovo and the pictures of refugees fleeing Serb oppression for their lives makes it clear that this is a fight for justice over genocide.". This led NATO to drop bombs on Yugoslavia [0]. In this conflict Israel has killed ~31 thousand Palestinians and displaced ~2.3 million more [1]. And now we sell them jet planes [2].
