Most are just going to laugh at you and be as unhelpful as possible if you come at them like that. You're just giving them an excuse to stick to the script and tell you to pound sand.

The IDF has assured us that they're taking great measures to avoid civilian casualties, and their actions are fully legal and justified. Those hostages must have escaped and taken up arms and attacked the Israeli soldiers by mistake, because otherwise they couldn't possibly have been mistaken for combatants.
