    I get it tho. I have highly educated Israeli friends (military training is very mandatory) and they are very much brain washed into this “us or them deathmatch in a cage” sort of mentality.

    To clarify I’m on team Israel as terrorists like Hamas deserve no sympathy only quick death but Israel has huge advantage in every conflict and you can definitely afford more diligence but there’s always this justification of “we have to do this” which dismisses any criticism.

    Even before the current conflict when I’d point out how messed up Israeli tactics are of blowing up civilian walls in Palestine to make way for urban militia are people would just wave their hand and say “it’s just urban warfare” - it’s fucking not. No other place in the world does this. Do better.
