Well you must be shocked then as I have had similar conversations with not just one or two but THREE purely Israeli friends/friends of family who are against Netenyahu and the IDF, of course I have friends over there who aren't against the IDF but are still against Netenyahu.
Both sides have directly killed children, Hamas have very likely killed multiple children and families in their barbaric attack on October 7th, just like how Israel have directly killed children with their bombings on areas with no direct relation to Hamas, I am not talking about the first major hospital as the evidence on both sides of the argument surrounding who did it are far too muddled for me to jump to a conclusion on but the recent bombing on the refugee site was something that was planned through and acted upon, I believe IDF spokespeople when they say the location contained multiple Hamas individuals, but I also believe that there was a better way of getting to them without killing innocents and chalking it up to crossfire.
I have to stress that I am not defending Hamas at all, they are a vile terrorist organisation and should be destroyed, but I just can't sit here and be happy seeing countless innocents being killed by a country that SHOULD know better given their values, I am not sitting here either declaring a "free palestine" as most people who spout that do not know what it even means, but I am calling for peace, as should anyone with any modicum of humanity or compassion in their heart.
And the "warnings" that I have seen (at least from what I have seen personally) were pitiful at best, especially if it was public knowledge to masses online that Hamas were forcing certain individuals not to move, so IDF intelligence would've known long before we did through news aggregators, so why did they still go through with it? why not find other solutions? those in power within Israel are acting with the emotion that don't get me wrong is more than justified after Oct 7th, but are being overly reactive in a way that I don't think down the line will help anyone here.
