    It becomes more and more apparent as time goes on.

    Hamas tunnels existed under some infrastructure, better destroy all the infrastructure!

    Hamas pretended to be journalists to spy, better kill all the journalists!

    Hamas uses human shields, better kill all the human shields!

    Hell, non-terrorist countries make their military buildings look like regular infrastructure frequently and embed intelligence gathering personnel with protected people like journalists to spy. The third one just sounds like propaganda against Hamas anyway since desperate people sacrificing themselves to defend their people would be seen as noble by anyone who agreed that they should be able to defend their people.

      My favorite was when an IDF propaganda guy on a cable news network (CNN or something I can’t remember) just casually dropped that the tunnels under a hospital that the IDF points to all the time as proof that Hamas is pure evil were actually built by the IDF at some point.

      The news anchor wasn’t trying to be pro-Palestinian but they were so totally confused they couldn’t help but be like…. wait what?

      I’m not sure why no one has clearly mentioned this in the news articles about Israel lying to reporters about evidence for the tunnels. But every modern urban area is riddled with tunnels. Saying they’re harboring bad guys is just an excuse to blow up everything.
