The IDF kills innocent civilians- FACT. Not an opinion but fact. In fact it has killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians since it's creation (Occupied territories and Lebanon). Resorting to massive use of violence is what it's well known for and what it does best when it's policies are challenged whether it's peacfully or violently.

The killing of civilians in this particular incident is unfortunate for Israel as it involves a wide mix of people from all over the world including activists from countries it has diplomatic relations with and members of NATO. This has bought it to major world wide attention.


Name one military or police group that DOESN'T end up killing civilians.  People act like civilian casualties are this rare occurence... they happen all the time.

Espiecally with groups like Hamas who delibirly use civilians as human shields. (There are actual speaches where they proclaim this proudly.)

If a group of people shoot at you from populated areas... you have 1 of 2 options.

 

1) Get shot.

2) Fire back, and almost definitly kill civilians.

 

Most people choose the not dieing option.

 

In WW2, there were more civilian deaths then soldier deaths... on BOTH sides.
