Just to be clear, this was an elderly Palestinian man cowering under a bed who came out with his hands up and was murdered by an Israeli soldier who brags about it after.

    Again, if it was as a precaution against an ambush (which is known to be basically the only way Hamas fights) then you can’t blame him.

    That man is poor for being in that spot, but what legit what can you expect from soldiers in a war zone where every day an ambush happens.

      Not shooting civilians. Soldiers have ROE for a reason. Either he was a fucking idiot in which case he should be court martialed, or the ROE allowed for shooting civilians in which case the Hague should get involved.
