I think its not excusable even if it was mistake. You have to be very sure when you literally blow prople into red mist. Like 110% sure. Anything else is inexcusable.
Man I haven’t fought in a war but this feels super naive
It is but that’s the minimum standard we should set in 2024 tbh
I can’t argue with you there
It’s not. You have to identify combatants
It’s less naive than you think. You’re supposed to positively identify targets before shooting at them. This means checking for uniforms, weapons, and/or hostile activity. Otherwise the prohibition on killing civilians and prisoners is meaningless.
‘Supposed to’ is the naive part
It blows my mind how undisciplined and irresponsible the Israeli military is.
