    Even if that happens, it is 100 % on Hamas.

    I'm not a military person on precision and accuracy, but you do what you can to minimize collateral damage. Your efforts and statements in trying to abide by international law do count. Your lack of effort to do so also counts. It's part of your reputation and Israel doesn't have a great reputation in trying to avoid civilian casualties. Incidents like this, in the fog of war, where you might never get to the truth, is when your reputation counts.

    ….

    I mean, you could make that argument for any of the tweets above.

    We can have resolve but we shouldn’t turn a blind eye to death ever, and I say that as somemeone that’s seen/sees a lot of it

    Large accounts making up lies defaming the IDF is a big problem in society as well. Both sides spin disinformation

    Disinformation is going to destroy society. 10 million views+ in a a few hours in a middle of a war with nothing but disinformation.

    Disinformation is one of the biggest threat facing modern society.

    Jury's still out. Possible for sure, but nothing definitive.

    I haven't trusted any of the reporting from either side. Both are excellent at propaganda and have massive cultist fanbases eager to spread as soon as the messaging is determined.

    Just sad all around. It's been hard to stay informed because there is a lot of misinformation. I fear this misinformation is going to cause long term damage.

    40m+ view. How many of them realize it was fake?

    https://www.politifact.com/factchec...of-hell-in-gaza-no-a-viral-video-shows-firew/


    Gates of hell’ in Gaza? No, a viral video shows fireworks in Algeria

    • The video was uploaded days before the Hamas attacks against Israel, and was taken in Algeria, not Gaza.
    The video showed a disturbing scene. It started with a view of cars on a roundabout, surrounding buildings tinged in red. Flares and fireworks go off, shrouding the air with smoke. Social media users claimed this is what’s happening in Gaza now during the Israel-Hamas war.

    "The gate of HE!L has opened in G A Z A," read the caption of an Oct. 9 Facebook video, which is no longer available. It was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.

    The same video was used in several Xposts, which all contained this caption: "If Russia did this in Kiev it would be all over the news and everyone would be screaming ‘genocide’, but it's happening in Gaza and no one cares about the civilian casualties."

    Out-of-context videos have beenflooding social media since this war began, and this video is no different.

    Well stop posting disinformation like the plague then. Maybe you could start with that? You’re literally on here all day, every day, posting propaganda. You clearly have a serious lack of cognitive ability if you can’t see that.

    Israel does not care about minimizing civilian casualties, that's a load of bs.

    Dropped more missiles in a week than we did in a month when fighting isis.

    Use white phosphorus weaponary designed to burn the flesh of the victims

    Denied food, water and electricty to the people in gaza

    apparently targeted evacuees after giving them only 24 hours to move

    Who knows how many innocent palestine died. Cared about minimizing civilian casualities pffft.

    This is not Israel. They aren’t dumb . They don’t deliberately go for civilians, at worst they have a large disregard for collateral.

    this smells of those ****ing rats hammas and the other jihad groups

    hopefully the Arabs and Palestinian people open their eyes more
