Serious question. Are there any reports of Hamas using white flags to trick IDF in the past?
Even if there was, that wouldn't excuse shooting first and asking questions never like the IDF did this time and every other of the thousands of times they've murdered civilians.
That doesn’t answer my question at all and jumped straight to what aboutism. Real constructive conversation
No, your question was itself a whataboutism (what about Hamas? Have they ever tried to trick IDF that way?).
I simply replied to the underlying assertion that, if they have, then the IDF are somehow the least bit justified in assuming that it was Hamas. Which they wouldn't be.
One of them shouted "look! Terrorists!" and they just started shooting without ever considering that he might be wrong.
No, no it’s not. It’s a reasonable question to do with the actions of the ADF. I never even said I support the ADF. Really just a weird response at the end of the day, I can only deduce (because you’re refusing to go near any answer to my question) that they may have done it before. If they had never done that you could have confidently just said no. Hamas would never do such a thing but here we are still communicating while I get no closer to any information on whether or not Hamas have done that in the past
It categorically isn't. There are ways of verifying other than shooting them to bits and then identifying them afterwards. Also, it's IDF.
All the more reason not to try to justify their murder. Also, it's still IDF.
I honestly have no idea. I haven't checked because it makes no difference in whether the IDF were justified in their murder. They weren't regardless.
That would be lying, though, since I don't know if they have.
Because I refuse to answer your irrelevant whataboutism question and you keep insisting I do. If you want to know, find out for yourself and THEN pretend that it justifies anything.
Can I ask what use this information would have to you?
