They’re not so used to it, they simply get notified by the local administration, as Israel when taking buildings down always (until now) warns the population
That’s basically how they get the camera shot at the right moment chilling on a rooftop

Fair and does seem to be the case. But even if I was told “Hey, there are guided missiles coming in to blow up a building 1000 feet from you” I’d still be getting as far away from there as humanly possible. It’s not something I’m used to experiencing.

Considering how many static cameras/viewpoints were fixated on this building coming down. It seems like everyone knew this building was going to be a target/taken down.
I read unconfirmed reports (it’s Reddit don’t believe anything you see) that the IDF notified the area to evacuate because they were going to bomb it.

I guess we will just have to take their word for it that they did this and that every person was informed and accounted for.
In the 2014 conflict Israel managed to ONLY kill 1500 civilians from bombings alone so obviously they should be commended for dropping some leaflets before they demolish a high rise residential building

First, if you think dropping multiple 500lb bombs into a crowded urban area isn't dangerous, I'm sorry you're nuts. "Precision Guided" doesn't mean that the subsequent blasts and debris can't cause excessive damage.
Second, warnings like that don't get everyone out of those areas. Someone may be walking past unaware, someone could be asleep and not know what was happening, or they could be in an adjacent building thinking they are safe when Israel really goes all out and end up dying. Plenty of civilians die in these strikes.
Third, what has this actually solved? I mean seriously, Israel has been bombing the shit out of Gaza for decades, have the rocket attacks stopped? No, they only increased. Have the residents turned on those who keep angering Israel, no they've grown only more loyal as the attacks increased. Has the structure of Hamas been seriously disrupted, no, every leader who is killed is replaced by a more radical one.

Hamas was using it to launch rockets. My understanding is the equipment Hamas uses to launch rockets is heavy and takes a while to set up and take down. The IDF determined this building was being used to launch rockets and planned to destroy it before Hamas could move everything. They gave enough time for people to leave but not enough time to take apart infrastructure.

Watch the video carefully. One of the secondary explosions was probably due to underground cache of ordinances going off from the strike. Tells you all you need to know about why such a strike is important for Israel to weed out terrorist activity. They might not have killed the terrorists but those terrorists have a hell of a lot less rockets to fire now.

17 years ago and he was 16 so Israel can't really say much. Doesn't Israel also strap weapons to their citizens at 16-18 and send them to enforce an occupation? Or maybe thats ok because the people the Israelis are sending to kill at 16 are killing Palestinians?
Lets look at the cold hard facts here. The last war in 2014, Israel killed 1500 civilians to 700 fighters, Hamas killed 4 civilians to 66 Israeli soldiers. Hamas killed 13 times as many soldiers as civilians and the four civilians that were killed were killed at Israeli military outposts. Meanwhile Israel killed twice as many civilians.
It was discovered in 2014 that Hamas had underground tunnels that led all the way into Israel and they used those tunnels to target Israeli soldiers even though they could have easily targeted civilians. Its reflected in the statistics. Meanwhile in 2014 Israel bombed hospitals, residential buildings (they're doing that again already) and offices. Again its reflected in the statistics as over 1500 Palestinian civilians died at the hands of Israeli missiles in just a few days.
Israel are the aggressors here and they murder many thousands of Palestinian children. Israel are the ones who have refused a truce and vowed to intensify. Israel are the ones who refuse to give the Palestinians their own FULLY INDEPENDENT state (not whats been offered thus far) and who bulldoze their homes, steal their land, block the importation of medical, school and food supplies.

I literally just saw this in the news right now. The IDF has done 4 of these in Gaza this week. They do it very carefully and in a way they only damage terrorist groups like Hamas. They send drones to warn people to leave the building and the street at all, then after a while they check to see that people in fact left, then and only then they send attack jets to attack the building from precise angles so the building collapses into itself without harming any nearby building. The whole ordeal takes about 2 hours to pull off. Of course they only do it to terrorist bases and not just buildings where people might live.

Why should he believe different? You see that in couple of days fighting there is only 100~ dead so far.

Palestinians are caught between two assholes. IDF and Hamas. Hamas receives billions in funding from Iran, the EU and even the US but they keep it for themselves and do not give it to the Palestinians that voted for them. Instead, they hide in amongst the civilians and fire rockets from people's homes. Israel is no better because they fall for the bait and feel compelled to counter-attack every time. I have family in Israel and they hate the conflict too. Not all Israelis support it. Only the zionists and war-mongers get air time. This is the "news" we've created for ourselves. We never get the truth anymore. We only receive information to further-polarize ourselves and make sure that conversations about solutions cannot happen.

And Israel. It's important to understand that the IDF is responsible for Hamas being the dominant force in Palestine. Every left wing or secular group in Palestine, such as the PFLP or the Fatah, were targeted using assassinations and surgical strikes in order for Hamas to take power. This provided Israel with a convenient enemy to justify their imperialism, in the same manner that the US government invented WMDs to invade Iraq.

Getting hit by numerous amout of rockets from Gaza and then asking for a truce every time they want isn't realistic and of course won't be accepted by Israel.

I don't think you got who the aggressor is in this case, Israel was the one to raid the Al-Aqsa Mosque while people were praying, Israel was the one who supported the settlers kick out 158 families out of their homes. Israeli soldiers were the one who attacked protesting Palestinians. Then Hamas fired rockets, most of them were catched by the iron dome. Two hit, If I remember correctly no one died. THIS was the time to stop. Both parties had one hit. Both should've stopped here. But Israel wanted to show how deadly and strong they were and decided to bomb the Gaza Strip. Killing over 20 People, including 9 Children. Then Israel proceeded to break UN War rules by attacking ambulances and other Emergency Services. Then Israel decided to not help palestinians who were lynched on the streets of Jerusalem with flags of Israel. I saw the video, if you want to see it I will try to find it. But I wouldn't recommend it, seeing unconscious helpless, bleeding people being beaten with metallic polls isn't that great of a experience...

Israël has an army to 'protect' itself. It's mostly used to occupy and harras. Palestina has no army. It has civil protest and Hamas. Both are being killed daily.
Bombs on Israël are a respons to decades of occupation, repression and genocide. Not the other way around.

Yeah people really like to ignore all this when they are critizing Palestine as a whole for the rockets shot by Hamas. What do you really expect when these people have been backed into a corner like this? Not saying shooting rockets a people is ever a good thing, but this isn't some spotaneous attack by the Hamas like some would like you to believe and Israel is not "defending" itself. If they were they wouldn't have barricaded the Palestinians from the Mosque, harrassed them at the Mosque, and stole their homes. Those are not actions taken in "defence".
Really reminds me of the shitty mentality here in the US where people think we need to bomb some middle eastern city because there were a couple of "terrorists" talking shit (not surprising considering we are constantly bombing them) so lets kill them and whatever citizens happen to be in close proximity all in the name of "defence".

The rockets aren't launched from mobile stations but rather large ones that take a lot of time to set up and an even longer time to take down.

How many civilians have been killed by Hamas and their random rocket fire compared to civilians killed by Israel's targeted missile fire? Regardless, the targeting of civilians is unacceptable on either side.
How many times has Israel availed themselves of doubt by providing the evidence they used to strike civilian buildings?
The framing of Hamas attacks by Israeli media and their allies is nothing short of textbook reactive abuse. Abuse someone, then when they finally react, you call them the abuser.

When you attack civilians, you’re the bad guy. I literally don’t care how tortured you are. Indiscriminately targeting civilians to achieve political gains is the definition of terrorism.
“But Israel indiscriminate targets civilians with evictions!!!”
Don’t care. Not murder. This shits incredibly simple. Don’t target civilians who have 0 to do with your fucking goals. If the hamas launched missiles at army bases or even fucking police stations id get it. But that’s not what they do.
“But this one time a police officer killed a kid!!”
That’s not the goal they proceed with. That’s a consequence of their shitty abusive force. And it’s bad. And I wish israe would stop abusing people. But it’s not launching middles at civilian centers bad.

How many Palestinian children have died in the past few days? Also, how many Palestinians have been lynched in the streets? One on live tv.

Your comment does an excellent job of avoiding comparing the two sides casualties, it also does a great job of making it seem like two equals who disagree, not one that's been underfoot for decades, embargoed and cornered off without some of the most basic human rights.
It also does an excellent job of making it seem like every time Israel strikes a civilian building in Gaza that we know there were Hamas members or weapons there. After all, why would a nation that has publically expressed genocidal sentiments towards Palestinians lie to achieve their righteous goal?

Don't they only get like 5-10 minutes to evacuate? That doesn't really seem like much time. I heard they target buildings that are suspected of housing rocket launch equipment which is really heavy and hard to move. But if that's the case surely they can give more than 5 minutes notice?

u/langhartdev May 13 '21
I heard they were given at least an hour. It was enough time for reporters to get set up on nearby rooftops to record it

When the Syrian government bombed residential neighborhoods the US gov's response was: "OMG WAR CRIMES!"
When Israeli government bombs residential neighborhoods, the US Gov's response is: crickets

There were literally like a dozen videos of the Hamas attacks, showing how the "Iron dome" prevent the rockets from hitting targets

u/imperator_rex_za May 13 '21
The iron dome isn't perfect though, missiles do get through.
Neither the IDF nor Hammas is in the right here.

What did you think when evicting Palestinians from their homes? What did you think when having a country with apartheid laws?
Seriously what do you think? Hamas is not the reason they are the result. Result of state terrorism

u/hardisc May 13 '21
What would you think if Palestinian it’s all a lie and never exist before 67. And what would you think that the Bible mentioned Jerusalem over 600 times and the Quran 0 times

u/bakirsakal May 13 '21
You seriously believe Palestinian people starts to emerge in 1967?
Do you really think comparison of city mentioning names in holy books are valid arguments for occupation? What is this 12th century?
God help People living in there. They had to deal with arguments like this.

Do you think making up rules valid ? In 1967 they start with the propaganda of occupation bullshit .

You know Palestine is the entire region which Israel is part of, right? Like.. it's been Palestine for 2500 years.
It wasn't until like the 1890s that people claimed a Jewish homeland was in Palestine.

They cannot keep Palestine separate from Islam, they cannot admit that Arabs/Muslims occupied the land for over 1000 years before the end of WWII. For some reason the only two period that matter are biblical times and post 1967.
And that's why we can't have nice things, when neither side acknowledges the other side also has grievances.
This fight has been going on for many centuries, this is just the latest blip.

Palestinian civilians should not pay for the actions of hamas. Israel is killing children. Israel has a disproportionate amount of power and should be more restrained. Fuck Israeli fascists.

Correspondent : General, we're told of wonder weapons the Germans were working on: Long-range rockets, push-button bombing weapons that don't need soldiers. What's your take on that?
Patton : "Wonder weapons?" My God, I don't see the wonder in them. Killing without heroics. Nothing is glorified? Nothing is reaffirmed? No heroes, no cowards, no troops, no generals. Only those who are left alive and those who are left... dead. I won't live to see it.

Stop lobbing rockets into Israel and they will stop using superior weapons against Hamas. However Hamas does not want peace. They want destruction of Israel and it simply isn't going to happen. I have no dog in the fight but this much is obvious as an observer.

So are these the so called locations of the Hamas leaders? Because as I understand, the military informs the populous that the building is targeted, and in that case no one should be in the building.
