Is this regarding the Hamas charter?

Honestly nobody should normalize Hamas. They're genocidal maniacs, no different from nazis.

That it's possible to regard Hamas as murderously reprehensible at the same time as being revolted by IDF murder of Palestinians, is a concept that Netanyahu and his cronies dare not allow to be thought. Though Netanyahu gave indications of his growing fascist tendencies some time ago to the perceptive, along with his willingness to connive and scheme to achieve dark ends.

Of course, that there exists Jewish opposition to Netanyahu both inside and outside Israel, exposes the lie that is his attempt to warp "anti-Semitism" into "Support us in exterminating Palestinians or you're a Nazi".

How am I normalizing Hamas, they suck. I've posted Hamas bad in this thread at least twice already. I resent the assumptions. They are murderous lunatics.

Israeli defence sources told Haaretz that the aid workers’ vehicles had been hit three times by missiles fired from a drone because of erroneous suspicions that a terrorist was travelling with the convoy.

The communications director for the United Nations aid agency Unrwa, Juliette Touma, also shed light on the “intense” coordination that routinely occurred with Israeli authorities prior to aid deliveries. The process is known as “deconfliction”.

“Only when they give us the approval do we move – and before we move we provide the Israeli authorities with quite a lot of detail,” Touma told ABC Radio National.

“We include the names and nationalities of the team that is travelling on the convoy, the content of the convoy, the number of vehicles that we are sending on that convoy, the route of that convoy including GPS coordinates with the Israeli authorities.”

Hyman was pressed by the ABC’s Sally Sara to explain why the IDF had struck the vehicles “when you had clear and direct information about the vehicles, their path and who was inside those vehicles, that these were aid workers”.

This wasn’t an accident. It was no mistaken misfire.

The IDF cell tracking the vehicles fired lethal precision-guided missiles into each car, one after the other.

Through blurred nighttime surveillance footage, they saw what they thought was a man carrying a gun and assumed he was a Hamas fighter.

They then assumed everyone else travelling in the vehicles were also Hamas. There was no evidence for this.

They kept firing because they saw passengers still alive.

The basic failure to pass details of the aid convoy down the chain of command is a damning slur on a military that thinks of itself as being one of the best in the world.

The decision to launch air strikes with the intent of killing people, based on unsound evidence, raises deeply troubling questions of ethics in combat.

It's a sad irony that one of the only reasons World Central Kitchen were operating at night was because of their previously good working relationship with the Israeli military.

Had six of the seven killed not been foreign aid workers, whose deaths caused an international outcry, then this investigation would not have happened and the Israeli military would not have been forced to explain its actions.

How many Palestinian civilians therefore have been killed in similar, uninvestigated cases of mistaken identity, we will probably never know.
