          Why would an IDF presence be required during aid handout in the first place?

          what are we supposed to do?

          fall back, only take shots that wouldn’t harm civilians.

          But as the IDF is known for, every Palestinian is Hamas so it’s all fair game to them.

      Yes, Hamas does intentionally mix soldiers with civilians, but it’s not to protect the soldiers. They want to attract these attacks to get sympathy, and it’s fucking sad that right wing Israeli fucks love to oblige. It’s all just so transparently about hate and stupidity. Humans can really suck.

          Yes, and Hamas wants to give them that excuse. It’s literally the most rudimentary textbook insurgency strategy there is. Israel is the oppressor, Hamas is the insurgency looking for publicity to recruit to their cause. Palestinian civilians are just props as far as either is concerned.
