I don’t mean to have an emotional fist fight, and I think Israel has a bad track record for avoiding civilian casualties to say the least, but I don’t understand what Israel would have to gain by using expensive bombs on a cemetery. Just making sure we remain credible in our criticism of israel

Edit: thank you for the replies guys. It helps me understand what looked like a propaganda article at first glance

I think it's about hatred. It's about destroying a community and saying "You have no place here, not even your dead".

Germany razed Jewish cemeteries and usedgrave markers as paving stones.

Destroying everything Palestinian to eventually make Gaza an extension of Israel. And they’re doing this in the most obscene way possible so that nothing is left. Everything is destroyed. And that people forget.

It's all about propaganda and trying to create the illusion of evidence to gain international support. We have pretty much reached the point where "Israel claims..." has as much weight as "Russian says..." keeping in mind that Russia has also killed their own people and tried to blame it on the enemy.

They didn't use bombs, they bulldozed it. If you look at the footage there's corpses and body parts dug up all over the place.
