    This is going to be unpopular, but how do we know they’re non-combatants? Just because they’re unarmed at the moment the video is filmed, doesn’t make the non-combatants, AFAIK.

    We’re basing this on the opinion of a a biased reporter, who wached the video and described what they saw?

      If you’ve ever seen a Hamas video they sneak through the opnenings in the sides of buildings. They certainly don’t walk around in the open like this without worries.

      The burden of evidence lies on israel, and just like that time they drone striked an ambulance, no evidence will be presented.

      Yep, there is no context for this and heavy framing in the article. I agree with both of your Disclamers, but this is just propaganda.

        The context is the HD video footage of the IDF drone striking obvious unarmed civilians.

        Where’s the context showing these people were enemy combatants deserving a death sentence by drone strike? Do you always take the “guilty until proven innocent” line, or is this a race thing?

            By pointing to evidence to back my claim and asking for consistent standards and something vaguely resembling the rule of law?

            How do you propose we make the conversation better?

                By all means, tell me what their position is. Failing that, what’s the charitable assumption to make here?

                As far as I can see, the likely options are:

                • They support the genocide

                • They don’t care about the rule of law

                The former is more common in this context, but it’s both weird and worthless of you to insert yourself into the conversation to defend someone’s positions that (unless you can confidently answer this question) you don’t understand. Just like that, you’ve derailed the conversation into this irrelevant shit - what was your complaint again? Oh…

                  You can’t see very far then.

                  I don’t agree with your position, so you’re probably racist. Good day.

    Genocide is the goal. How do you negotiate peace between 2 sides that 100 % believe the other side should be eradicated

    The cynic in me thinks the IDF would not use $3000 in munitions to kill four random guys. Bullets are dirt cheap fpv bomb drones are expensive. From that I can only assume someone really wanted to kill one of them for some reason that we can not determine from the limited footage. I’m not saying war crimes including intentional starvation and indiscriminate fire are not happening but I don’t think this is one of them this looks far too coordinated and planned to be a random act of aggression.
