At least the IDF uses smart munitions to strike orphans in their cribs unlike the barbaric Hamas dumb bombs which target military bases.

the number of times I see liberals in the news pigeonholed into the position of "they need to aim better" is enraging. the core premises that israel should be bombing gaza or that they're even trying to avoid civilian casualties cannot be questioned. they just need better intelligence! smarter bombs!

Explosions are famous for aiming.

It is a common refrain when it comes to selling weapons to militaries that bomb civilians. We have to furnish the Saudis with precision bombs so that their bombings of civilians will be more accurate, this way we are actually helping the people they’re bombing.

"Collateral damage" is regrettable, but also unavoidable. Thoughts and prayers, and all that.

Wait, you say it's the resistance fighters who are killed rarely and by chance? LOL surely you must be mistaken. This is just Russian Propaganda™. Please return-to-sender it to Putin next time you do a personal visit with him in the Kremlin.

I think they're hitting exactly the targets the want to hit. Their aim is extremely good if not perfect.

Israel wants to kill civilians.

the new israeli smart bomb only kills military-aged people (5 years old and up)!

I am reminded of a skit from The Whitest Kids You Know, where a news host is asking a biker thug why he needs “munitions that actively seek out infant skulls. “

From winning the Tom Yippur War to whatever the fuck has been happening in Gaza the last few months. It's almost unbelievable

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Tom Yippur lmao got a funny goof-em-up for Rosh Hashanah as well?

When I was a kid, I used to just think that was just someone's name that they put on the calendar.

I mean, TBF, they are also carpet-bombing orphans, not just trying.

But yeah, I def appreciate them friendly-firing themselves while they're at it, at least.
