This is awful, but far more nuanced than the comments.
Friendly fire happens in war, especially with an enemy who uses civilians as shields and seeks to maximize civilian deaths for PR. They are trained to attempt to appear as friendlies and civilians. And in the thick of combat, mistakes are easy to make.
This horrible situation is similar to when little kids were shot during the war in Iraq. Children were used as suicide bombers and more effective because they looked less like a threat. This tragically caused non-threat children to sometimes be mistakenly killed as well.
An enemy that uses children and civilians, like Hamas, is a horrible cancer in the world and must be eliminated and removed completely.
It wasn’t right when our people killed children, it’s still not right when Israel does it, it will continue to be wrong when the next batch of cowards that think their adult lives are more important than children’s lives.
If you are so scared that you have to kill babies and children, you should not be a soldier.
If your first reaction to a white flag is to shit your pants and empty your gun, you are a coward and a waste of human life.
I am glad for your place of privilege where you can judge and condem without needing reason or experiencing the nuances involved here. Would you also like to talk to their manager?
Close quarters urban combat doesn’t happen like a turn based video game where you get to slowly decide your every move with the luxury of thinking through every move and variable. In fact, it’s full of chaos, uncertainty, adrenaline, and mistakes–tragic mistakes happen. Nobody is celebrating it, but you are condemning it from the safety of your keyboard
… wow.
Yep I condemned it when America did it. Why should I want anyone else get away with it?
If you are so much of a coward, did you shoot someone with a white flag in their hands you are a waste of human life.
If you think that your revenge is worth more than human lives, children’s lives of all damn things, you’re a cowardly piece of fucking shit and a waste of space on my planet, and when you die, I will be happier for the fact that you are not here using up my resources, do you know with you being a child killer and all, and you will be one of the few deaths that I ever celebrate.
