    You could argue Hanlons razor or you could believe that there has been a dehumanization campaign going on in Israel for many years. Palestinians are looked on as less than human (how many times have we heard terms like barbarians and monsters being used), pests that need to be eradicated.

    The IDF is one of the best funded and trained militaries in the world. I have a hard time believing that they are as incompetent as people are playing them up to be.

      Incompetence can be willful though. When you tell your military to shoot at everything they see without identifying targets (which is basically Israeli doctrine), it’s leadership Incompetence turned into doctrine.

      This wouldn’t fly at this scale in any other developed military.

      what “dehumanization campaign”? what “looked on as less than human”? i have no clue what ur talking about, and if a few people are of that opinion, i can argue that a few people in USA are literal neo-nazis yet i dont say USA is the epitome of nazism.
