US. we aren't held to the same standard. we don't hate america because we kill innocents in our wars. we don't call every "mistake" we make in war that results in civilian casualties "war crimes". and we don't punish all of our soldiers that make mistakes in war.
their enemy disregards ALL laws of war. they have NO rules of war. none.
it's not a crime to make mistakes in a war. you have to prove intent.
how's your "night vision"?
OK, so because the US isn't held to the same standard, every other country should get a free pass? Even though the US already uses its power to protect Israel from being impacted by the standards that could be enforced.
And as a result they are a designated terror group most of the time and cut off from the banking system and other perks that Israel gets access too, not to mention their lives are frequently forfeit. Do you want Israel to be held to that standard?
They broke orders for rules of engagement and killed civilians. They also covered up the crime with lies and omissions.
Not bad. You're ducking here. Why isn't Israel punishing blatant perjury and false statements?

Israeli military admits its troops killed UN worker in Gaza Strip
Israel had previously denied its troops were responsible for the killing of a UN worker with tank fire on 19 March.
Another denial comes tumbling down.
To say when this war started, there were dozens of people on here saying it was unavoidable and completely fair that Israel would kill loads of innocent people, I've never really understood why the IDF just fucking lie constantly.

Because it somehow works for them. Its how theyve operated since day one utilising the media to lie for them..
New details on killing of paramedics in Gaza appear to contradict IDF’s account
Haaretz report comes as supreme court gives Israeli PM more time to respond to affidavit from fired Shin Bet chief
New details on killing of paramedics in Gaza appear to contradict IDF’s account
Haaretz report comes as supreme court gives Israeli PM more time to respond to affidavit from fired Shin Bet chief
New developments have come to light in the killing of 15 Palestinian medics and rescue workers by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip last month, with evidence reportedly contradicting the Israel Defense Forces’ claim that soldiers did not fire indiscriminately at the medical workers.
The Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Wednesday that its analysis of the IDF’s own materials collected as part of an internal investigation into the incident contradicted the army’s claim that soldiers did not shoot indiscriminately at Palestinian ambulances and a fire engine in the early hours of 23 March.
Instead, Haaretz said, soldiers fired continuously at the vehicles for three and a half minutes from close range despite the aid workers’ attempts to identify themselves.
The family of Assad al-Nsasrah, one of two survivors of the attack, filed a petition on Wednesday with Israel’s high court seeking details of his detention in Israel. Israeli authorities confirmed last week that Nsasrah was in custody, but under emergency war legislation the whereabouts of detainees from Gaza can be kept secret and they can be barred from meeting a lawyer for 45 days. Nsasrah is not allowed legal counsel until 7 May.
[ oh what the fuck ..... good luck to him ]]
The Shin Bet has been investigating Netanyahu’s close aides for alleged breaches of national security, including leaking classified documents to foreign media, and allegedly taking money from Qatar, which is known to have given significant financial aid to Hamas.
In his affidavit, Bar accused Netanyahu of moving to sack him after his refusal to fulfil requests including spying on anti-government protesters and helping the premier postpone his testimony in his criminal trial. Bar also claimed it had been made clear to him that he was expected to be “personally loyal” to the prime minister.
@kflo even if they were blind and couldnt see the emergancy lights from 20 metres. [ in pitch darkness lierally the only things with lights..... 3 and a half minutes.... of shooting from close range..... with no return fire.
Is a long time to be shooting at anything thqt doesnt fire back. Its irrelevant to me if iys intentional or not honestly. Its a warcrime and those fuckers should all be charged at the very very very least with criminal neglience . I bet if " accidents " were treated like a crime or the heinous actions they were and there were repercussions.... countless " accidents " wouldnt have occured
We’ve seen this in the courts before with the police. The amount of shots once you start shooting to kill aren’t really the issue. Once they started they aren’t waiting to hear if they have return fire. They are making sure they complete the job and the “threat” is eliminated. The mistake was starting to fire in the first place, not the duration and amount of shots. You can believe it’s criminal if you want. You can believe they just wanted to kill pals that night. But they didn’t just kill everyone who came through. Do you think it’s plausible they thought it was Hamas?Because it somehow works for them. Its how theyve operated since day one utilising the media to lie for them..

I think this looks like part of a pattern which has seen the Israelis target medical services in Gaza over the last 18 months. Killing the medics is far more effective than killing random civilians if your looking to make Gaza as unliveable as possible.
Small correction in the article now:We dropped just one 2,000-pound bomb in the fight against ISIS and carefully investigated its use afterward. On the other hand, the IDF has dropped around five hundred 2,000-pound bombs on Gaza. We blindly trust them that every flattened neighborhood is Hamas.
Don't compare the US Military to the IDF.
You are comparing 20 years of Warfare to 2 years Warfare. In that span of time, the US Military skull fucked the Taliban, al Qaeda, and did so without flattening the entire country then we shifted to Iraq. Rinse and repeat. Despite all of that, most Americans don't look at the War on Terror as something to thump their chest about...
We killed more civilians with less justification for war with a lot of the fighting in unpopulated spaces. With no war crimes and limited criminal prosecutions.
You take some of his words at face value. And dismiss some of his words. You only take the words that support your hate and dismiss the others.
Except you are lying (again) about the order.
