that's it. and somehow the benevolent world leaders in the UN just can't see it. you wanna hear how ridiculous we conduct warfare nowadays?
they (hamas) hide rockets & bombs inside civilian homes, hospitals, mosques, schools and kindergartens, and fire these rockets from there onto our cities (for example, the surrounding Israeli settlements bordering Gaza have 15 seconds to get to a bomb shelter. My particular countryside village has 45 seconds, which is "a lot of time"). when we (the IDF) decide on an air-strike, we call the house/public establishment and warn them of a pending air strike to evacuate, then 5 minutes before the air strike perform a "knock on the roof" operation where we launch a tiny missile that does nothing but make a loud splash sound on the roof of the place- a 2nd warning so they realize it's time to gtfo. by then we destroy the target. hamas is ordering palestinian civilians to get on the roof-tops so the air-strike gets cancelled.
moreover:
we provide field hospitals to treat injured palestinians
we provide humanitarian support of Unrwa, red cross etc, to go through our borders safely into Gaza (later we discovered hamas is using their ambulances to move weaponry from one location to another).
we provide the electricity and clean water into Gaza (we're basically sustaining our very enemies)
we enter premises that should have otherwise been cleared by aerial strikes, getting our soldiers dead because of it.
we're humanitarian to the point it's disgusting and hurts us, and would make any military strategist laugh his ass off at our code of conduct, but we do it anyway. because we're moral, and getting punished for it.
I tip my hat to you sir. humanitarian aid sounds like something I'd be interested in testing out. So, why doesn't the Palestinian govt do anything?
E/ I know the govt is half and half but why doesn't the Palestine half do anything
