    Behadead babies is confirmed by numerous sources. Both the convoy and hospital have been shown to be most likely Hamas or PIJ by independent analysis. Same with 500 deaths at the hospital which analysis showed that it’s unlikely to be more than a couple dozens. Tragedy and horrendous, but I don’t see anyone condemning PIJ for it or calling them to stop firing rockets.

    The main issue here is the burden of proof. It seems that Hamas word is taken at face value while Israel is always considered as lying. You either check facts, and then need to check the claims of both sides, or not. You either care about civilians and then need to care about civilians from both sides or not.

    The last couple of weeks showed, at least to me, that many of the people that claim that they care about facts and civilians only do when it’s for the “right” side.
