    Posted this above but I’ll copy here, since you seem to be making the same mistake as Wolf.

    Friendly reminder this is an urban center with 50k people normally living in it, with permanent concrete buildings. This is not a bunch of tents and soup pots.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabalia_refugee_camp

    They killed a battalion of Hamas fighters. This is just how war functions

    Blitzer not knowing the facts of this “camp” just kind of makes him look like an amateur.

    Edit: also it’s in the North and bombings are why they said to move south for 2 solid weeks.

      There’s no way to spin “we dropped a bomb on a refugee camp” into something acceptable.

      Just wanted to quote the post you’re replying to. Add all the context you want, you’re only making sound more like genocide.

        I suppose if you hate Jews enough anything can look like anything.

        Post-truth living sure is easy!

          I’m not the one you responded to, I don’t hate Jews. What I do hate is people like you excusing the killing of civilians as acceptable collateral for the greater good. Fuck off!

          Piss off, astroturfer. We’re WAYYYY beyond the “criticism of Israel is anti-semitism” fallacy. It’s been debunked. Go ride a bike or something.

          If you think that one being able make bombing a refugee camp that was known to be populated “look” like genocide proves that person hates Jews, then I don’t know what to tell you.

      Were there IDF at the music festival?

      That would make it fair game by your own logic.

      They did not kill a battalion. Not even Israel is claiming that. They may have killed a battalion commander. And Israel still isn’t letting refugees flee through their lines so that’s still a terroristic threat not a warning.

      Civilians not getting out of the way before you bomb is not an excuse for you to bomb.

      If they don’t move, then you need to find another way of taking out your enemy.

        Is this really how you think wars work?

          Ask someone who is a career military officer someday about the Rules of Engagement that they learn.
