The footage shows the young women, all of them stunned and some bloodied, being bound and bundled into a jeep.

One of the gunmen can be heard shouting back in Arabic: "You are dogs! We will step on you, dogs!"

Another gunman tells a captive: "You're beautiful."

Weird. This post has been here for 9 hours and no one has claimed this is fake or Israeli lies? Best to ignore this part of the narrative completely right?

Justified genocide as collective punishment achievement unlocked!

Nobody denies there are two armed forces in combat with each other. What people are objecting to is the lack of regard to anyone caught in the middle, especially from the IDF.

As for soldiers being taken as prisoners, it sounds completely normal in war. I've not looked at this footage as I've no desire to watch violent images. Maybe this treatment is brutal, but being captured by the enemy is rarely a fun affair.

OP constructed a strawman to attack, because Israels genocide is logically indefensible.

Why especially from the idf? I’m not really on any side I’m just having a lot of trouble understanding the apparent double standard

Literally the last story I read before looking at my inbox.

It's just one of many. Everyday civilian refuges are targeted deliberately. Civilian! These people can't go anywhere. They are physically trapped, the borders are shut and they are getting wiped out.

Israel has basically impenetrable missile defense. They are so much stronger than Hamas it's not even close. Yet they target civilians day after day after day. Israel will state they were targeting Hamas with precision weapons, but the end result is dead families.

Right now your the narrative and this is how you chose to set the tone.
