      Yes that’s right they were, unsure what that has to do with the above.

      Military friendly fire incidents are also incredibly high in most conflicts.

        Anthony Hurndall shared information about his son’s shooting, showcasing how Israeli military tactics are responsible for killing innocent people.

        Tom Hurndall was a photography student, International Solidarity Movement volunteer and an activist against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.

        In April 2003, the 22-year-old was shot by IDF sniper Taysir Hayb while assisting Palestinian children caught in the crossfire in Gaza. He was left in a coma and died nine months later.

        An investigation revealed that Soroka Hospital’s medical staff removed bullet fragments from Tom’s brain. Initially, the hospital claimed that his injuries were caused by a baseball bat. When that was refuted, the Israeli government claimed he was carrying a weapon and was a gunman.

        Hayb was later sentenced to eight years in prison for manslaughter after it was revealed that he thought he was following standard military procedure.

        “The investigation further revealed that, as standard practice, the IDF routinely falsely misrepresent civilians and children as militants, or as armed, and fabricate accounts of events as a pretext for their killing,” Hurndall, who is director of the Center for Justice, told The Times.

          Again unsure what this has to do with Hamas using civilians as human shields.

          This is really just a propaganda outlet for the muslim brotherhood eh?

          This is the same level of whataboutism that chinese nationalism when you point out that maybe some people died during the great leap forward.

          Can you just communicate in words what you’re trying to say? I can pull up stories making either side look worse too.

            As talks to extend the truce between Israel and Hamas continued on Wednesday before a looming deadline, the Israeli army raided the Jenin refugee camp, causing widespread destruction and killing four Palestinians, including two children.

            Adam Samer al-Ghoul, 8, was shot in the head and Basil Suleiman Abu al-Wafa, 15, died after he was shot in the chest.

      Well that proves Israel hates israelis. That settles it. They killed several of their own.

      Wars never have friendly fire or civilian casualties. Hamas never pretends to surrender just to suicide bomb.

      Israel is totes doing the genocide I guess
