    I don’t understand how anyone can fire upon someone holding a white flag, they should be tried and sentenced.

      Because Israelis are raised from birth to view everyone in Gaza as sub-human scum who would kill them at first opportunity if given one. The far right government propaganda has done a number on the population.

        Hmm weird the Israeli who I knew wasn’t like that. Sorry to interrupt your broad generalizations

        Edit: downvoters mad that I know Israelis who aren’t hateful? That actually surprises you? Think I’m lying? People are fucking weird.

            I’m a Palestinian and I want to thank you for this video. I always wondered what would make indoctrinated Zionists see the wrongs of their actions. This guy found a formula that works: go there and talk to them.

            I recommend this documentary interviewing Settlers: https://youtu.be/Eac1l1ozfLc?feature=shared

            Especially at minute 10:30

            I believe you, but that is separate from what I’m saying. For example, I was brainwashed to think America is the best country on Earth. If it worked, it was temporary as I didn’t believe that by age 20, and I’m far from alone. So I’m just saying that just because there is brainwashing going on there, doesn’t mean “Israelis think Palestinians are sub-human”.

          I agree that generalizations don’t make sense. But do you mean they weren’t raised to view Gazans as subhuman or that they don’t look down on Gazans as a grown-up?

              Good to know that, I put a lot of faith in Israelis who rise against their own government.

                Well I’m not saying their parents are opposed to their government entirely, but they absolutely don’t consider anyone “subhuman”. I haven’t spoken to them in years so I don’t know their take on what’s happening now, but I’d be willing to bet they would at least admit it’s vastly disproportionate to the Hamas actions

                  Do let us know if you talk to them. Always nice to hear a different perspective and an example that breaks the stereotype.

    You can bet many Hamas terrorists already put up a white flag, as IDF testimony say they were already tricked by false “white flags”.

    Heck, 3 hostages were killed by the IDF because it was near a fighting area, where Hamas terrorists used the same tactics as the hostages - writing in Hebrew, waving white flags, shouting for help.

    The IDF either really suck at recognizing a threat (highly unlikely) or they learned from their mistakes of listening to anyone who isn’t verified friendly.

    This whole war is such a tragedy…

      Its funny you go around to apologize for IDF while citzen of Israel, and news from Israel are criticizing what is going on.

      It is okay, any military are most likely to commit war crime, instead of apologizing hold them responsible…

      Bro… Thisishamas . com is a website created by Israel. It’s literally propaganda aimed at convincing you that Israel is justified in what they’re doing. In no way is it trustworthy at all.

      To be clear it’s hosted in the US but wix is an Israeli owned software company.

      The company was previously reported to encouraged employees to “create videos and creative campaigns” to “support Israel’s narrative”.

      Also the website owner has redacted their name for privacy and all available information points to it being created by wix itself. source
