As far as I understand Israel doesn't claim that it didn't bomb a school area, it claims that it was filled with terrorists and had to go.

If I'm understanding this right, Israel is saying "this is the price that Gaza pays because we have to kill the terrorists" while also trying to minimize to the press how many civilians were actually caught up in these bombings.

Basically killing Hamas is above any Palestinian human rights for Israel, though I suspect that if the world wasn't watching, the genocidal government there would actually just straight up give orders to kill them all.

No need to suspect. They've said many times that global opinion is the only thing curbing their genocide.

Nice, just straight up admit to it.

At least they are honest, right?

i'm not sure the israeli government thinks there are civilians in palestine

[–] exanime@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They have it in writing (leaked months ago) that some ridiculous number like over 1000 Palestinian civilian casualties were acceptable if they got to kill a terrorist.

Also, anyone in colors or in proximity to Hamas members or known gathering areas in the last 2 years, is automatically labeled a terrorist by Israel

Basically they pretend to have a formula to regulate civilian casualties but they have twisted its variables so far that any scenario can be solved by bombing no matter the collateral damage

Just yesterday I was playing the Batman telltale series. In it, Mayor Dent, during his descent into becoming Two Face, blows up a city block in Gotham in an attempt to thwart a terrorist organization. Two Face was put in a mental asylum for the action. I vote we do the same thing to Netanyahu.

Aha, but the precision strike was on the small first floor window on the north side of the block. The school was evidently on the east side of the block, many many centimetres away. Please ignore surrounding blocks completely destroyed by bombs.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 41 points 3 months ago (1 children)

School is actually the whole block, there's a white outline

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 38 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My mistake! Then that must have been the classroom with the terrorist inside.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

The kids have no right to be outside if it is not recess.

Only terrorists are outside during non recess hours.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

There was a pipe going from the window all the way down to the Hama's Tunnel under it with the terrorists.

The fighter jet of the brave Zionist tresistance just thread its way at low level between the rocket launchers of the evil Palestinians and hit that small hole causing the destruction of the entire evil outpost.

is that even an official image? Seems weird to me that the location marker and the school tag are two completely different styles, but maybe that's just the military over there lmao.

[–] Sizzler 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

The school tag is integrated to the mapping, it's then screenshotted and the red location marker is overlayed.

This is on whoever took the screenshot and didn't hide the school marker first. Pretty certain it'll be a straight forward menu item lmao.
