Truly the depravity of Israel knows no limits.

It seems they did learn some stuff from WW2.

Y'know, by the standards of a military assault, this one was actually pretty targeted. So far there's a handful of children in thousands of casualties, who mostly fit the profile of a military or military-adjacent individual. Compare that to a ground assault of your choice, by any military anywhere.

Let's shit on them for all the actual atrocities they've done.

You mean killing children as par for the course, or killing people who are attending a funerary rite for other people who were killed by the same killer, is somehow not an atrocity?

I think I explained how the children were not par for the course this time, actually. Rage jerk away, but I thought I'd inject some factuality while it's still uncool.

FTFY, and yeah, at least this time they didn't actively bomb a known humanitarian corridor or refugee camp, so that would be comparatively targeted.

By any normal standard. By the standards of recent Israeli military assaults, this was a damn miracle.

I'm going to shit on them for this too. I don't need to give them any credit.

If you actually care about being taken seriously, being factually correct helps.
