It appears that the IDF killed medics in ambulances with emergency lights on and high vis clothing, then lied about it. So nothing should surprise us at this point.
I have to tread lightly on this subject of course--
While I agree with calls for Hamas to "return the hostages," I feel exactly the same towards the thousands of Palestinians kept in Israeli prisons, often innocent, often without charge, often underage, often beaten, tortured, or sexually abused.
There are large protests of the fragile Israeli coalition government, by Jewish Israeli citizens, in Israel, every day. Specifically over this unpopular war. They flared up in size after the most recent cease fire ended.
It means that the global unpopularity of this war by non-Jewish non-Israeli people was always worth validating.
The culture of deflection in response to non-jewish people criticizing the exact same things that Jewish Israeli citizens are is just a meme worth ignoring. The general idea is that there is a belief that non-jewish people worldwide are thinly hiding a goal of eradication. A lot of Jewish and Israeli people are taught that from a young age, so its not easy for them to tell when people are only criticizing the exact same government policies that they are, with the same level of nuance.
Dehumanizing the other side (whatever the other side is) is often abhorrent. The article references another UN report that investigates similar actions by the idf and find that it is a standard procedure. Now, that's abhorrent
That would be a more correct sentiment to apply to anything the IDF says, given the number of times it has been caught lying. Even by the BBC, which as an institution (brave reporters aside), have been anything but even-handed in their selection and presentation of the genocide in Gaza.
