Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You're missing the point. The general idea is that an modern organized army would not fire into civilians, you know morality being a thing and all. The IDF doing it anyway proves Hamas point, they're not seen as people by the Israeli government anymore. You wouldn't fire indiscriminately into a crowd a sheep to kill the wolf, why would you do the same with people.
The point you're missing is that the tactics of Hamas has resulted in the IDF not being able to distinguish civilians from combatants. There's a reason why non-uniformed combatants are considered differently (they're basically just criminals) under international law than uniformed combatants. Because everyone knows when wars are fought by combatants who don't wear uniforms, there's a massive increase in civilian casualties.
You're a 19 year old in a truck and someone is running towards you as fast as they can. You have seconds to determine whether that person is a civilian desperate to get food, or a combatant that's running towards you to kill you. Both the civilians and the combatants are dressed in the exact same style of clothing. You're scared and have seconds to make a decision that will either end someone else's life or end your own life. What happens next?
You can't understand why it's criminal for combatants to not wear uniforms? If Hamas cared about their people they'd be wearing uniforms. But Hamas has successfully monetized the deaths of Palestinian civilians which is why they do what they do.
I haven't missed it at all. Duh. That's still not an excuse to kill in crowds.
That's not what's happening here and you know it.
You know the IDF has plain clothes units right? You know who's made more? Israel, you know who historically has paid Hamas, Israel. Who stands to gain the most, Israel.
Fun question, is Hamas killing civilians in countries they're not actively at war in? No? So that's just Israel increasing border tensions then.. mmm
Cut the shit bud, you know your argument is shitty and immoral..
