IDF claims it is not responsible for the deaths that the UN school, provides video - Polidicks

[URL="http://edition.cnn.com/2014/07/27/world/meast/mideast-crisis/index.html"]According to the IDF[/URL] an errant mortar shell did hit the school yard, but aerial shots it provided show the yard was empty, although the event is still being investigated. They do admit people could have been wounded from the shrapnel. CNN is saying that there may have been people sitting in the shade on the edge of the courtyard who would have been injured or potentially killed from the explosion.

"Yeah we accidentally hit the schoolyard, but it was empty" You accidentally hit a schoolyard, yes, but why wouldn't you take responsibility for it?

[QUOTE=Crash155;45521891]"Yeah we hit the schoolyard, but it was empty so that makes it okay"[/QUOTE] "We ACCIDENTALLY hit that schoolyard where a lot of people died, but, it was ACTUALLY EMPTY! See?!"

[QUOTE=Crash155;45521891]"Yeah we [B]accidentally[/B] hit the schoolyard, but it was empty [B]so we think no one got killed[/B]."[/QUOTE] There I fixed it for you.

Errant, my ass.

You joined in july 2014, you are from Israel and all of your posts are attempts at defending Israel's actions. How much is JIDF paying you to be active here?

Facepunch is a Hamas-only zone. Don't even try to post anything to do with Israel.

I was just looking for a decent place to exchange information and opinions about the war, and in one of my monthly rounds of trawling the net for decent news forums I fianally found this place, and it looked nice. Lots of opinions, no flames, fair moderation and so on. I haven't posted in an international forum in years. The last one was POE-NEWS, and it was getting pretty toxic to anyone not rabidly anti-Israel. And then it shut down. Anyway, not paid by anyone to post here. I work for an international tech company as a software engineer. They pay enough,. I also do not support the Israeli government, nor did I vote for anyone in it. I vote Meretz. Look it up.

[QUOTE=DogGunn;45522404]Facepunch is a Hamas-only zone. Don't even try to post anything to do with Israel.[/QUOTE] Yup, it is 100% impossible to be against breaches of the Geneva convention and other international law and not support Hamas. EDIT: If the wording is confusing, sorry, but I do not support Hamas. I support the Palestinian right to a state and to have their basic human rights. Israel shelling Palestinian civillians only convinces more young, angry people to join Hamas to be able to do something to avenge their fallen family or friends. This may not be right, but it is understandable. Honestly, if Israel spent less money on shelling Palestinian infrastructure and blockading Gaza, and instead built up what they have in the past destroyed, Hamas would quickly become far more marginal. For now all Israel is doing is perpetuating, not solving the conflict. I consider it Israel's responsibility to end it because they are the only ones with the power to end it. [editline]28th July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=ScumBunny;45522525]-Response to JIDF accusation-[/QUOTE] Similarly, posting what the IDF are saying is not tantamount to supporting the civillian death or being a member of the JIDF. Everyone seems to want to straw man and polarise this.

[QUOTE=NeonpieDFTBA;45522850]Yup, it is 100% impossible to be against breaches of the Geneva convention and other international law and not support Hamas.[/QUOTE] Your ignorance disgusts me in just about every single possible way. Hamas is a terror organization that promotes suicide bombing, uses human shields, and acts as insurgents towards Israel. You know-- I get it if you dislike the IDF, they've taken drastic measures that have resulted in a ton of civilian casualties-- but to support Hamas under the belief that Hamas are some Gordon Freeman-esque vigilantes fighting against the evil dystopian empire is simply the result of reading too many sensationalist clickbait articles. Your opinion on the IDF is irrelevant-- you're not sane if you support Hamas.

I've honestly lost interest in this conflict because I hate both sides so much as bad as it sounds

99% sure the JIDF thing is a joke

I believe no one on Facepunch supports Hamas, yet everyone who criticize Israel is automatically a Hamas supporter in you're eyes. All of this killing happening in Gaza will only increase support for Hamas and thinking otherwise is plain idiotic. Lets not forget that Hamas acts this way towards Israel for a reason.

I am against Hamas, but also against the fact Israel has killed as many children as they have Hamas militants and are shelling hospitals and schools.
