Infuriating to see how Israeli soldiers are criticized for their self-defense tactics in the face of fundamentalist terrorists. The author's expectation seems to be that soldiers travel the streets, exposing themselves to militant fire from within the buildings. How woke.
The author seemed to offer no particular criticism of the invading Israelis, as far as I can tell. In fact, they almost seemed to praise their tactics for their unconventional nature.
What an amazing example of this common knee-jerk playing-the-victim reaction to anything that discusses Israel without fawning. The article was describing the IDF doing something novel and clever, yet you're "infuriated" by what? It not repeating some mantra about how the action was definitely certainly most positively justified?
Lest you misunderstand where I'm coming from - brutally attacking and slaughtering a civilian music festival is unequivocally evil. And Israel readily turning off civilian water and power infrastructure for collective punishment is also evil. There is no shortage of evils on both sides, and whitewashing this for either side ultimately just helps perpetuate the whole terrible situation.
