    Fun fact: the IDF uses Palestinian civilians as human shields much more often than Hamas does. Does that make any violence against Israeli civilians acceptable? Of course not!

        Ah, best you can do is a few reports where prosecution of those involved is inadequate, but at least existent. So it isn’t policy of Israeli forces, just a few bad apples? Gotchya ;)

          One bad apple spoils the bunch. When you have a few bad apples you throw the barrel out.

              There’s the apples and there is the bunch. IDF is the bunch I was talking about with individual soldiers who are caught committing the crimes being the bad apples. Hamas is all bad apples as far as the bunch goes. But if you’re insinuating that Palestine is the bunch then that’s just the kind of dehumanizing energy the IDF is looking for. You should join and take pot shots at kids playing in the streets to fill the hospitals before calling in an airstrike.

                No Palestinians aren’t ‘the bunch’. All those that refuse to coexist peacefully with Israel the past 80 years are.
