Uh huh. Then why aren't there almost 1000 Israeli military dead and injured instead of almost 1000 Palestinian dead and injured?
More lies again. As always.
When did they come under fire? Before or after doing air strikes?
This is a ridiculous take. They didn't come under heavy fire because they didn't take heavy losses? It's their very heavy response to the heavy fire that minimized their losses while taking a high toll on Palestinian civilians and militants.
Do you think the hostages were unguarded and free to leave at any time because Israel said otherwise?
Right, right... and Auschwitz wasn't a death camp - it was a pitched battle between a small group of heroic Nazis and overwhelming Jewish forces. Their clever use of Zyklon-B ensured the Nazi heroes didn't suffer heavy casualties.
/s for all the shitlibs that can't smell all the hasbara stinking up this community.
Hamas fighters are like naked concentration camp victims going into the gas chamber. They just have toy guns. You can tell from the bright orange caps on the barrels.
/s for the completely delusional
It's really sad when hasbara goes off-script - I hope they paid you extra for the attempt, though.
Ridiculous take. I never said Israel was right or justified for the level of carnage they caused.
What is with the script that there are only victims on the Palestinian side? There were no gunmen, only unarmed civilians. The hostages were just visiting friends in Gaza and are demanding to be allowed to return. Who writes this stuff, and why do so many here seem to buy into it?
Who said I was just fine with it? Where are you getting your information? Is it the same source that implied there were Nazi hostages and armed Jewish people in the gas chambers?
Do you think that Israeli forces are indiscriminately bombing and shooting Palestinian civilians to the tune of almost 1000 killed or injured?
Indiscriminately? No. Without adequate or acceptable levels of discrimination? Absolutely.
That's not what I was responding to, though. I was responding to your writing that the Israelis lied about coming under heavy fire because they didn't take heavy losses. The IDF has been known to lie, but that doesn't make everything they say a lie. And your rationale for saying it was untrue makes no sense.
It makes everything they say extremely untrustworthy.
So how many KIA do they have then?
1 by the way.
But I dont understand why is it even a measure. You expected probably best commando unit in the world specifically trained for this type of rescues to get heavy losses?
Best in the world? A world that also has, (checks notes) SFOD, SEALs, SAS, and whatever the CIA is cooking these days.
All of whom would have taken more than one casualty in intense urban fighting. And have done so in the past. Something doesn't add up here.
I expect the "best commando unit" (your ~~propaganda~~ words) to have a lower death toll.
The fact one of them was killed means the fighting probably wasn't intense enough to warrant that level of violence.
Fuck Israel and their indiscriminate killing
I just expect them to bring the hostages home safely and alive by all means necessary.
So how do all those dead kids factor into that? Lmfao get out of here
Its sad indeed. But why oh why in the holy fuck are the hostages held in places with so many kids and civilians. Heck why oh why are there hostages at all??
Oh we're just ignoring the destruction of all infrastructure, the starving and abuse that brought us here? Smfh 200 innocents is no mistake only fools would think that.
smfh
FTFY, would be shorter to type
Not. Discriminate. Enough.
Yes.
Yes. It's an unfortunate truth of military operations. But finding the enemy usually requires taking casualties. Not taking casualties and claiming you were under heavy fire gets the dirty eye. Cause nearly a thousand casualties and it demands a war crimes investigation.
