A foot patrol of the French unit operating within the UNIFIL reserve force came under fire from an Israeli army position while inspecting an earth barrier recently erected by Israeli forces in the Wadi Qatmoun area, on the outskirts of the Lebanese town of Rmeish, according to the National News Agency (NNA).

      Please explain to me, because I’m dumb, why are Israelis bombing hospitals and schools then?

      I am legit dumb and ignorant and wish to learn; and I am not trying to troll here, I am genuinely asking you to explain why resistance fighters are hiding behind hostages?

          I don’t know how to break this to you, but genuine good guys don’t hold innocent people as hostages and unnecessarily risk innocent lives; freedom fighters protect who they fight for. Please help me change my mind, I’m being serious.

            Which is exactly what Israel is doing.

            Please help me change my mind, I’m being serious.

            No. You clearly aren’t. Stop pretending you’re not a willfully blind Hasbarist.

                For someone pleading ignorance, you sure as hell know a lot of pro-Israel talking points. Being misinformed and spreading misinformation is NOT the same thing as being uninformed.

                Hasbara is Hebrew for “explanation” and also the colloquial term for pro-Israel apologia amongst Hasbarists.

                Hasbarists are the people who spread those lies.

        why are Israelis bombing hospitals and schools

        Because hospitals keep Palestinians alive and schools teach Palestinians about the crimes against humanity Israel has been committing for almost 80 years.

        Also, they generally want to destroy everything resembling Palestinian societal infrastructure and culture, so such vital institutions are amongst their favorite targets.
