"Appears to contradict" is a euphemism. The footage clearly shows the IDF initial account was a complete lie.

It didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

    The users you replied to are pointing out a simple fact that the Israeli govt lied, it is only you who is moralizing about anything.

      The Israeli government may have been lied to by a radicalised IDF commander. I assume it's at least a squad required to do what's in the video.

I've seen comments unironically arguing for collective punishments when it came to the US, and they're at least popular enough that they don't show up as gray/[flagged].

    When considering the Israel - Palestinian conflict, remember that the median age in Gaza is 18. A large chunk of Gaza are children. 43% of the population are below 14 years old. For comparison, the median age in Europe is 40.

    Fairly certain the logic is applied to the other side, just not in this article due to the lack of relevance.

It admits they were unarmed when the soldiers opened fire. They really are pivoting to "these unarmed medics we shot without identifying them deserved it".

The language the media uses when reporting on israel vs. how it is reporting the atrocities in Palestine is very telling. We've seen it time and time again. They use passive form a lot of the time when reporting on Palestine (e.g. 20 children have died) vs (20 children have been killed by israel).
