What kind of reporting is this?
>In a statement, the Israeli military said it had targeted what it called "a terrorist" who had approached troops in the area of the Yellow Line
Imagine Hamas statements being presented this way

Perhaps BBC is partially responsible for this?
They seem to never report "Hamas combatants killed." Like literally NEVER. I could not find a single article on Hamas combatant being eliminated.

The majority of people killed in wars are almost always civilians. There's nothing new here and nothing particular to Israel.
The % of civilian vs combat deaths in WWI is estimated to be around 59%. For WWII it was 60-67%. Vietnam was around 67%. Korea was around 75%. The Gulf war in 1991 was around 88% civilian casualties.
Civilians shouldn't be purposefully targeted, but it's an absolutely unrealistic expectation that combat deaths will outnumber civilian deaths in a war. Especially when you consider how densely populated Gaza is and how Hamas takes no care whatsoever to avoid operating around civilians. In fact, they go to great lengths to operate around civilians, including digging tunnels under hospitals and launching rockets from the tops of civilian buildings.

The highest recorded collateral damage approved by the USA in modern warfare was 30 deaths. In Gaza, Israel approved over 100 deaths for high rank targets and 15-20 for junior targets.

Last time I checked Palestinians in Gaza were ecstatic to see their government invade and massacre the people of another country. This is the sad outcome of an avoidable war. What's the point of criticizing the IDF for this? This was certainly a targeted strike at Hamas members, but obviously we won't ever know that because after 2.5 years of war, Hamas has yet to report a single casualty to its members.

So your saying it's fine and expected that a bunch of people got rapes and murdered by a terror organization while having a party, just because the terror organization exists and borders with Israel?
Seems like the IDF is on the right track and really needs to eradicate said terror organization.

No I’m saying that “f*** around and find out” and “Darwin Awards” logic that the clown above me was using can be twisted against any victim. It seems like you and others start from the assumption that the IDF is right and then work backwards from there no matter what the situation is.

The problem is with what you decide to label as "pro" or "anti" Israel. Is there a "neutral" Israel? Is there "pro" certain things and "anti" other things Israel? How about an "I-don't-give-a-shit" Israel?
This is where the false dichotomy comes in. Boiling things down to a single criteria ("pro" or "anti") will always mean that you exclude others that you probably wouldn't exclude if you understood them individually. Maybe some of those others even have good points to make. The problem is that you'll never know with such a perspective.
But sure, you keep finding a way to defend your prejudice. That's how anyone maintains their prejudice about anything.
